Snow

This is how I feel about the snow right now. I am ready to attack! Someone please make it go away. It better not kill the apricot season yet again.

Am I Insane.....possibly

I might be insane, but I toying with the idea of running a full marathon in September. My sister Britt is running one in October and apparently I have a competitive streak. I must not be out done. lol I have a few weeks to decide. I am going to run my 1/2 marathon on May 1st and then make the call.

Wedding Bells

So my little sis Morgan is getting married. Which is so weird to me. She was like 10 when I got married. Ok, now I feel old. I digress....anyway.... The cogs in the sisters heads have been turning. We are thinking pink. Thats the color of choice for us bridesmaids. We are also thinking retro. I have my heart set on this little number. I also love this one and love that its the "Classic Ashley dress". I think its destiny. Check out the whole site. Stop Staring Clothing. I love the retro look. :)
P.S. I would like to take this time to brag that I picked out her wedding ring and she loves it! She is currently chilling in NC with her honey. As soon as she gets back I will get a good pic of the fancy little sucker.

I got this watch last week and I love it. Its a heart rate monitor and it tells me how many calories I am burning. I don't know why I held out for so long. It really is helping take my fitness to a new level. Hello, when I see I burned 1000 calories in one session it makes me want to come back and rock it again!

I also got a Klean Kanteen cause I can be a bit of a health nut. I also adore it. Its all stainless steel. No BPAs which makes me feel so much better. And it really keeps the water tasting fresh. I like to rock the 40 oz. I say go big or go home. :) They also have a little baby sippy which is adorable. 

Can I tell you I love my tide bra bag? I do. It so easy to use and it really keeps you bra safe. Try it. You won't sorry.

Happy Monday all. I am feeling like I need to pound it out this week at my favorite gym. That is how I deal with my baby being gone.

The gloves are coming off. Game on. On this weeks agenda. Spinning, treadmill, Zumba, weights, running, Zumba, and more running. I am going to feel.the.burn. Ouch.

Happy Friday all! Have a great weekend. I think I see some karaoke in mine. :)

Jamie Oliver

I know I have posted recently about how much I love GOOP but heck I do. And I feel fancy for just reading it. I will also admit I am a bit of a natural girl (I'll write more about that later) and Gwyneth Paltrow the author of said GOOP newsletter is too. Which also makes me feel a little fancy. Anyway this post is more about Jamie than Gwyneth so I will get on with it. In her most recent newsletter she has an interview with renowned British chef and uber cutie Jamie Oliver and his Food Revolution. Basically he is on a campaign to change to way we eat. Especially the food in our schools. I applaud Jamie and his brilliant efforts. Please take minute to check this stuff out. You won't be sorry at least I hope you won't and you might end up feeling a little fancy. ;)

Resolutions Update

So I was talking to Pres on Monday night and she had a some news for me. Big news. Very big news for an eight year old. She told me she had won something. She has won $100! I know right! Bam! Resolution number four done. I couldn't believe it. I thought that one would never happen. Apparently Presley knows the "secret" and knows how to use it.
One of her neighbors there in Hana invited some of the neighborhood kids over for an Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Who ever found the silver egg won the $100 buckaroos. Presley decided she was going to hang back and not really participate but then one of the little girls there needed help and she was all about that. She only found three eggs in all. She was a little bummed she only got two pieces of candy. ha  So lesson learned put your resolution out into the universe and help a small child and you will be there. I was a little concerned that she has taken that much money from someone. Then I learned that these kind folks had won the lottery and are now high rollers.
Does anyone find this story bizarre and unbelievable? But it really is true. Move to Hana and you will believe anything is possible.
The best part is when I asked her what she was going to do with the money she said,"I think I am going to give it to the church or the poor. What do you think Mom?" So cute. I then explained to her that she could do both and keep a some for herself too. Dan told me that he had argued about this the day before with her because she couldn't understand that the bill could be broken up into smaller bills. Oh, the words of a wise Mother trumped her Dad again. ha ha

Jeans vs Leggings

I have to say it. I don't like jeans. Don't get me wrong I love the look of jeans its the feel of  jeans I hate. The just feel so restrictive to me. I however love leggings. I could live in them. So when I found jean leggings I was all about trying them on. Sold. I loved them. Plus they were on sale and girls love a sale. I chose black over blue but I might have to go back and give them a try. I couldn't find a good pic of the black ones. Hence the pic of blue. I found the HUE brand at my local Nordstom in the hosiery department.
So in the battle of jeans and leggings.....leggings win hands down for me.
But there is a time and a place and I am sure if I looked hard enough, long enough, and spent enough money I could find that comfy cute pair of jeans.

Your thoughts ladies?

Resolutions

Resolutions, we all have them. One of mine was a goal to run a half marathon and that is coming up soon. I didn't realize even Presley had some. It is quite cute actually. Her teacher had her write 2010 and under each number was a resolution. Are you ready for them? I was dying when I first read them.
1. I am going to eat more fruits.
2. I am going to exercise.
3. I am going to read more.
4. I am going to make more money.
Apparently she listens to me more than I realize. This sounds like a 40 year old womans list not an eight year olds. The kicker for me was  number four....really more money. I was unaware that she had made much last year. lol
Lets put it out there. What were some of your resolutions you have stuck with?

Happy Friday! I just wanted to share a creepy picture of Presley while getting a "facial" from her aunties. Ha ha I love this chick. Have a great weekend.

AHHHMAZING

   Oh yes, I saw Michael Buble` in concert last night. Be still my beating heart. He is oh so dreamy. Swoon.

He was so ahhhmazing live. His voice ah his voice its like velvet or silk.

 I definitely fell in love with him all over last night.

I was so lucky to score a ticket from my sis Morgan since she ran away to North Carolina to see her now fiancé . Lucky me! I ended up going with my Mom (she is 3rd from the left), my sis Kat (2nd from the left), my Aunt Venisa (4th from the left), and four cousins. We were running so late we didn't get a whole group picture and also because we weren't all seated together.

We started the night at The Cheesecake Factory which is always a good choice. I also already knew they had  a sugar free cheesecake option and I was all about that. I splurged and had a virgin margarita and it was fantastic! Then it was off to all that Michael yummyness.

I am so bushed from being sick and staying up late but it was so great! If you have the chance to go....GO! You won't regret it.
