Random thoughts

My fantastic friend This Belle Rocks awarded me with Gorgeous Blogger and Versatile Blogger awards. Sweet!

So in the spirit of following the rules, here are 7 random things about me:

1. I have a widow’s peak, so no blunt bangs for me.

2. Summer is my favorite season. I love hot weather.

3. When I was little I wanted to be a gymnast or a dancer.

4. I’m psyched that Riley loves both those things.

5. I have two crooked toes on my left foot.

6. I experience deja vu and a sort of ESP thing a lot. But I keep it quiet.

7. I’m addicted to Mountain Dew.

I haven’t been around much lately because I’ve been busy with work, end-of-school activities, softball and dance recitals. I hope to get back to blogging more regularly. OK, that’s it. Gotta run!

Back at it …

So I got up at 8:00 (it’s the weekend!), read the newspaper, checked the sale papers and had a turkey bacon & cheese tortilla wrap with half a Diet Mountain Dew. Too bad the drink doesn’t taste like the real thing! I didn’t buy any cokes at the grocery store this week, so once these few DMDs are gone, that’s it. Water, Crystal Light and tea for me and the occasional glass of low-fat chocolate milk. Maybe I’ll treat myself to a real Mountain Dew once, if I work out hard enough. Diet drinks probably aren’t that great for you anyway. Now to get Ryan unhooked from Diet Coke!

Today’s plan:
Riley & I went to the Circle for bread, chocolate milk, salad stuff and some chicken breasts and potatoes to grill this evening. By the way, the Circle is what Riley calls Target. :-)

Afterward, we headed out to the kiddie pool to cool off and get some more sun.

Menu:
1. Turkey bacon & cheese on tortilla/half Diet Mt. Dew–9:00
2. Salad (romaine, spinach, peppers, carrots, cheese, ranch), crackers/water–2:00
3. Grilled chicken & potatoes, bread/tea–6:30
* 4. Protein shake–9:00
Vitamin, calcium, CLA

More water was sipped during the time out in the sun.

Oh, was that biscuit good…

I haven’t had a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit from Henley’s (small, hometown restaurant) in a long time. My mom brought it to me when she came to help with our yard sale yesterday. It took me nearly an hour to eat it–I had to take bites between customers!

I was outside by 6:30 setting things up. By 7 it was HOT and I was sweating. We were out until noon, and I got some sun. We did better than expected at the sale; we didn’t have much to get rid of so the extra bucks were a pleasant surprise. Thankfully, we sold most of Riley’s old, unplayed-with toys before she got out of bed. That made for fewer tearful partings!

After the sale and a shower, we headed out to buy a couple of new lounge chairs with our earnings. We also had lunch at Macaroni Grill–the bread was delicious as was the chicken alfredo. (It was my free day, remember? ha ha) I ate too much bread and about a third of the pasta. The rest was boxed up for Ryan.

After the shopping expedition we came home and tested out the loungers–very comfy mesh.

Menu:
1. Bacon, egg & cheese biscuit/tea–7:30
2. Lots of bread, chicken alfredo/2 glasses coke–2:00
3. Milky Way/Mountain Dew–5:00
4. Fat-free bologna & cheese on ww, Tostito’s/Mountain Dew–9:45

Thankfully, we did a lot of walking around outside at Lowe’s and Walmart while shopping for lounge chairs and flowers.

Back to the plan,
