Friday, yeah!

2 meatless fridays down... 5 more to go!

I am making salmon tonight. I usually will put lemon juice on it, salt and pepper and a little garlic powder and broil it for like 6 minutes and it's wonderful!

It snowed last night, roads were a tad bit slippery this morning and surprisingly enough, schools weren't even on a 2 hour delay!

It's Wednesday

Happy Hump Day!

More snow in the forecast! :( I am about tired of this snow! I ready for warm weather and flip flops!

I watched the top 24 American Idol girls last night and I would have to say, I am not really impressed although there were a few goods ones which the judges didn't like? Top 24 guys tonight! Hopefully they will do good. :D



Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

kids say the darnest things

Ok so my niece went with her "aunt" to get the aunt's hair cut (mind you, the little girl is only 4) The whole time the aunt was getting her hair cut she was asking "Are you OK?" "Does it hurt?" "You are OK, you aren't at the doctor"

Well the hairdresser was talking about a Patrick and kept saying...
Patrick and..
Patrick and...
Patrick and....

and the little girl goes SPONGEBOB DUH!


haha

Priceless :D

TGIF!!!!

Well, it's FRIDAY! yay! Only downfall... can't eat meat :( Oh well! Will probably get real acquainted with Long John Silvers. Speaking of LJS...there is a totally fun game on their website I have been playing and you get coupons and everything too!

So, I was totally kidding about giving up sweets for Lent b/c I ate a filled donut this morning ::embarrassed:: hah!

This weekend is supposed to be pretty and my car is in dire need of a wash with all the salt that has been on the roads.

Baby, it's cold outside

Wow, it's absolutely freezing outside! Weather Watcher says it's 22 outside, but it feels like 14 and I believe it!

We had a little bit of snow stick to the roads this morning and crazy thing, schools weren't even on a delay this morning, however yesterday, they were out and there wasn't a drop of snow in sight. Ha Ha.

Chicken for dinner tonight! Tomorrow starts lent so no meat for me tomorrow!

It's Monday....already?

Had an OK weekend. Valentine's Day was basically just like any other day lol Took mom & dad out for breakfast and ordered in Chinese food for dinner.

Today is the start of my diet that I am going to stick to and lose this weight!

Also, lent is coming up. I am thinking about TRYING to cut out all sweets/sugars. I know it's going to be hard because I love reesee cups! haha. Plus, I don't drink sodas so that shouldn't be too hard.

10lbs is my goal to lose. I think I might try and lose it by my birthday? hm, if I could lose at least 2 lbs a week that would put me close to my goal weight on my birthday. YAY!

Snow is in the forecast for today lol ....schools already out!

you can teach an old dog new tricks

So my mom has come to the 21st century and has a facebook and actually a lot of my family does. We FB chat sometimes and I like to bug her about the snow (she hates it even though she was raised up north!) Well, last night I had used a smiley for the first time in the chat window.
She was like "how do I do that"
So I showed her how to do it and well, it took her a few times but she finally got it! So I told her "you can teach an old dog new tricks"


No snow in the forecast today but I did slide coming down the driveway this morning!

Snow

Wow, so I woke up this morning to a blanket of white, EVERYWHERE. I actually didn't think it was supposed to snow this much, but it did. Now, not only was there snow on the ground...but underneath it was ice. Thanksfully, I got to work OK even though none of the streets I had to travel were plowed. :)

Pretty sure it's supposed to snow all day and be really windy. Temperature says its 16 out but feels like 9... burrr... that is cold.

Beauty Tip for the Day

So I thought I would share a beauty tip... You know all those facial scrubs out there that you buy to help exfoliate your face? Well quit spending your money on them and try sugar! Yes, I said SUGAR!...The best kind for your face is brown sugar. I bet you are thinking, " put sugar on my face?" Yep! It is a really good exfoliator and it makes my face silky smooth. Just put some in your facial cleanser or whatever you use to clean your face with. I find that the regular white sugar works well as a body exfoliator. Rub some together with your favorite body wash and scrub away! It will make your skin silky smooth!
I also try to find alternatives to expensive products and you may or may not know about this but I will hope you will try it before you will waste your money on expensive scrubs with different types of chemicals in them!! The other scrub that I would recommend is the St. Ives Body Polish. I think it works really well too and their products are mostly natural.

I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.
