Settling In, Getting A Routine

Well, we have been in Houston exactly two weeks now and we seem to be settling into somewhat of a routine. We are staying with my pseudo-mother in law and I am sure just disrupting her life all to hell. But it is going well. Up at 6:00 to make coffee and breakfast and get the hubby out the door. Let the dogs out (all 4 of them) and drink coffee, have a cigarette.....now this is where I get stuck. What to do next? Well, then I check a few emails, do a little online window shopping...mmmm. Ok, I know, Poor Kelley, doesn't know what to do with herself. It is difficult to establish some sort of routine when you aren't in your own house, with your own chores, etc., and when you are used to working. Of course I wash a load of laundry, drop off drycleaning, cook dinners, etc. I spent yesterday with my PMIL running to Sam's and Costco (she has a catering business) then to this great little Tea Room in Tomball for the most amazing chicken salad and a piece of pie called Yum-Yum pie which was.....YUM YUM. Then we walked around the little shops on Main street and it was nice and relaxing. I am also planning a baby shower for my BFF and that has become pretty time consuming.

You would think I spend alot of my time shopping....right? Well, I have done a little shopping. A trip to the new outlet mall for Polo t-shirts for hubby proved to be for nothing since THERE IS NO POLO OUTLET at the new outlet mall....I did manage to pick up 3 new tops for myself though at Tommy H. so it wasn't a complete waste of time and gas. I have also acquired 3 new pair of flip flops to add to the evergrowing collection, a pair of shorts, and a new pair of capris. Oh, and the most darling pair of reading glasses...(go me!) Anyway, it is hot and humid and my hair is frizzy. I am NOT staying with my diet plan but everyday I say I will be better tomorrow. I also have not found a gym yet since we are only in Tomball temporary it is difficult to find one with month to month memberships so it is easy to use that as an excuse not to work out. I have been going to tan and I am getting that lovely bronzy hue I love...

We are supposed to close on the new house on June 16th. I am very excited about that and there will be a few weeks of remodeling/updating before we can move in. I will post pics during the process, you know like before and after so everyone can see the progress. I believe I will be much less boring when I have my own house again. One can only hope.

xoxoxo and Love to McKinney,
