What’s on my Phone?

Also titled: I’m at a loss for content

I still haven’t found my camera battery charger, but if we’re being honest I’ve not really looked too hard for it.  In the meantime how about a little phone photo post?  

Also,  are you following me on Instagram?  You should, my username is KTBFerg.

My girlfriend’s driveway is lined by the most beautiful hydrangeas you’ve ever seen.  She was out of town while they were in full bloom & I begged asked if I could cut a few to have.  I ended up coming home with a HUGE basket of flowers.  I just threw the last of them away this Sunday.  They ended up lasting 3 weeks! 

Prior to the personal trainer cracking the whip on our diet REF & I tried out a pizza on the grill recipe his sister had told us about.  All I have to say about this is – amazing.   

So by now most of the blog/twitter world is well versed in the amazing world of Bridier Baubles, but since a fair number of people who read my blog are NOT bloggers themselves I’ll let you in on a little secret: this jewelry is addictive.  In the picture above I’m modeling wearing the Britta Beads.  Today I’m wearing the Luxe Link in tortoise & yesterday I was wearing The Coco Necklace in snow.  The absolute best thing about this stuff is that the price point makes it a perfect gift choice!  

One week after I stole picked the blue hydrangeas from my girlfriend’s house my neighbor knocked on the door with this GIANT bucket of pink & purple hydrangeas!  She asked if I wanted any, because her bushes were making too many to keep for just her!  Have I told you how much I love my neighbors?!  They are STILL holding up quite well going on week number 3!

So, since we’ve committed to this fitness thing I’ve also made sure I’ve committed to the nutrition side of it too.  This is a pretty accurate picture of my breakfast daily.  I do eat plain or vanilla Greek yogurt too for the protein.  It’s been awesome to just stock up on a bunch of this stuff at the Farmer’s Market each weekend.

I bet my mom readers will recognize what this is!  I found my nephew’s baby shoe under the backseat of car.  His poor mom’s been looking around for the missing mate for a couple weeks.

Last Saturday morning I woke up to find this Bee dead on my patio table.  I mentioned the Bee Apocalypse to REF & he had no idea what I was talking about.  Am I the only nerd that keeps up with this kind of thing?  Also, I’ve always called this type of Bee a Wood Bee (per my dad).  I recently learned that the correct term would be a Carpenter Bee.  

We were outside on the deck when we found the victim of the Bee Apocalypse to do our daily workout.  I had just laid out my yoga mat and was grabbing my phone to use as a timer when someone took over my mat to practice his downward facing dog.  Honestly, my dog could not get any cuter!

That’s it folks!

What’s Been Going on?

by KT on June 7, 2012

We’ve been busy in the Ferg house the last few weeks.  We haven’t been out of town or entertaining all that much, but I feel like we’ve been on the go.  I can’t find my camera battery (REF, do you know where it is?!) so I don’t have many pictures, but I thought I’d do a little run down of what we’ve been up to & what I’m looking forward to for the summer.

  • R & I finally broke down & signed up with a personal trainer.  I was sick of not following through with plans to get fit.  I hate spending money so I knew if I paid for something I would do it 100%.  I was also sick of the way I felt about myself.  The only way to change that was going to be through hard work.  We are going twice a week to meet with the trainer.  We’ve now seen him 3x & honestly I already see a difference in my strength.  We have an online system where we follow a workout routine on the days that we aren’t with Jon (trainer).  We also have to keep a food journal.  I think for me this is going to be what keeps me going.  It was pretty hard to explain why I needed 3 pieces of pizza & 4 beers last weekend. Ha!
  • Last Saturday I was able to go on a super long walk with Baby J & his mom, MK.  I absolutely love LONG brisk walks.  Since MK used to live in NYC being able to go on a walk with her still feels like a treat even though they’ve been living in Charlotte for over a year!
  • This summer we have TWO separate family reunions with both sides of my family.  I know most people might think of this as a HAVE to, but I love my extended family.  We don’t get to see them too much since everyone is spread out across the US so I’m really looking forward to catching up with everyone.  Some of my cousins have children that I’ve never met before!
  • This weekend I’m celebrating one of my old college roommate’s 30th birthdays & I get to meet another college roommate’s new boyfriend.  I cannot explain how excited I am for both of these things!
  • Also right around the corner is my camp best friend’s 30th birthday party!  I’m so glad that we’re going to be able to celebrate it together…as it was touch and go there for a bit with scheduling conflicts.  She and her husband also met at camp so I know there will be lots of folks at the party that R & I haven’t seen in a long time!
  • The 4th of July is my absolute favorite holiday (Go AMERICA!) and right now we don’t have any plans.  This is causing me a bit of anxiety, but maybe it would be nice to just be at home?!
  • Speaking of America…who’s excited for the Olympics?!  REF & I absolutely LOVE the Olympics.  4 years ago when we got home from our honeymoon the Olympics were there to soften the blow of being back to reality! 

I hope you all have some fun plans for summer months, too!

xoxo
