8:40: My first stop on the way to the gym was Starbucks.  It was quiet.  What a nice change from the usual lines and noise in there.

8:45: Select my usual bike in the back row, hop on and begin warming up.

9:00: Spin begins.  I realize it’s St. Patrick’s Day and I forgot to wear green.  By the end of class, I’ve got a sweat drenched shirt and the monitor on the bike said I burned 450 calories.  Best post-pasta dinner workout ever!

10:00: Shower

11:45: Go to a breakfast held in our apartments leasing office.  The so-called breakfast was sponsored by a cleaners business.  You had to ask for a breakfast taco.  What kind of breakfast is that and who only eats ONE taco?!  Rude.  We will not be using them as cleaners.

12:00: Finally get all my pictures from Honduras in a web album.  What a chore!  I’d been procrastinating for three weeks.

2:00: Drive Kat Daddy to Fry’s Electronics so he can check out a laptop.  Weird thing is, he just bought a new laptop last week!  I guess he’s still on the hunt for the perfect computer.

4:00: Eat at a Pho restaurant.  We had a coupon, buy one entrée get the second half off.  Cha-ching!  Then we made a return to the Walmarts.

6:00:  Back home we hang out, watch TV, and declare a Saturday night in.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

<tree with budding blossoms that I took a picture of a few weeks back on a morning walk.>

I’m looking forward to organizing piles of papers.  I despise clutter, especially in the form of paper!

<i’ll be using file folders from the container store.  i picked up some in the grey color.>

My new favorite snack.  A mango protein shake.  So yummy!

Happy Weekend Everybody!!

I think someone took a picture of me on a beach while on vacation.  Maybe I could find that picture and post it.  You can be the judge of the .5 pounds.  Perhaps it was muscle???  NOT!

This is a picture from a remote island we took a boat to.  It was a little piece of heaven.

Today I’m making Roasted Garlic and Broccoli Soup.

Look!  I already measured out the lentils and beans and washed the broccoli!! 

Here was me about an hour ago.

Stupid soup tastes like salty, broccoli water.

Down the drain it goes.

Here was me this morning:

I’m also going to make Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies!

About an hour ago I dumped them in the garbage because they tasted like chocolate cardboard.  YUK!

As my mama always says, you win some you lose some.

“So you’re telling me there’s a chance?”.

Name that movie.

I didn’t win.  Didn’t even come close.

After 5 seconds wander to your bedroom and decide to try on that skirt you bought a few weeks ago in a size too small and try it on to see if it fits yet.  It doesn’t fit yet.

Next apply moose to your nearly dry hair like you’re going to curl it all fancy, but know deep down its going back in a pony tail sans the curls.

Find yourself back in the kitchen wondering what smells like burnt rubber and cow hide.  Open microwave to see your homemade beef jerky!

Bon appetite!

First I painted my nails with Essie “Meet me at Sunset”.  I picked it up at the grocery store this morning.  Notice how I’m working on a magazine.  Let’s just say I’m not the neatest when it comes to, well, anything.

I started out with a brush, then I decided to just dump the glitter on my nail.

Hmmm, that looks like crap.  That’s why I’m Pancakes and Polyester and not Cupcakes and Cashmere.

This morning as I walked into work, the garbage man was making so much noise lifting the dumpster in his truck.  I thought of Sophia who has hated loud noises since before she could talk.

Later today, I recieved a picture of Little Miss Sophia.  Her auntie took her to Jamba Juice.  She plugged her ears when the blenders were turned on.  Too loud.  Here she is sipping her Jamba Juice, wearing pink hair extensions she won at Chuckie Cheese.
