Marietta, OK

So on our way to a friend's wedding last weekend, we left a little early so that we could stop at some random town and hoped to find something interesting
We found ourselves in good ole Marietta, OK.
Made our way down main street..
Did a little shopping.

Went to the cutest antique shop.
And got ourselves a sno cone. (They gave us free peach o's just because we ordered peaches and creme.. how nice is that?)
So now I can officially check number 17 off my list! Marietta, OK.. you've been explored, and I liked you.

(I'm just really glad I have this weirdo to keep me entertained on long trips.)

The sun is finally out!

I kept track of every single thing I ate the whole week, including how many glasses of water I drank to how much sugar I put in my coffee. I'm sure that if I was doing a legit scientific experiment I would have to keep track for much longer t
han a week, but I still learned quite a few things. For starters, the assumption that I've had for awhile that caffeine is what causes my headaches seems to be true. The days that I started off with coffee first thing in the morning, I didn't get one.. but the days where I didn't drink it until later I could definitely feel it. Sleep was also a contributing factor. There was one day I stayed up all night and then slept 3 hours in the afternoon, and one night that I slept more than 8 hours.. I felt terrible both days.

It also made me aware of what I'm eating. Every time I had to write down "Tbell 5 Layer Burrito" I was a little grossed out. And every time I realized that the number of Dr Peppers I had significantly outweighted the amount of water
I drank, I was a little bit more grossed out.

SO if nothing else, keeping track of everything I ate has inspired me to drink more water, eat less Taco Bell, and drink my coffee right when I wake up :)


In other news, have you ever heard of Art Wall? It's a virtual house of sorts that has art hanging in every room and leads you to the artist's shop so you can purchase it for your own home. I've been a long time fan and now one of my prints is hanging on the porch :) Check it out here!
Hope you all have stayed dry during these past few rainy days.

Ima list maker.

Always have been. Does everything on my list get accomplished? Never. Do even half of the things get done? No. But making lists always helps me organize my thoughts and get everything off my chest and onto paper.
I've been working on my "21 things to do before I'm 21" list. It includes some things I've been wanting to do, like sew a dress for myself, and some things I've been needing to do, like write down important addresses and birthdays. Once I think of my 21 things, I'm hoping to blog about all of them as I go, maybe that will help me finish them. Sort of like this girl, a fellow list maker.
In the meantime, I've been in a "small painting in an embroidery hoop" kind of mood. Just finished this little guy.
