Friend Makin Mondays

Over at

It is again FRIEND MAKIN MONDAYS!!!

Today is all about Spring Trends

This will be quick today (have to take my mini me to gymnastics)

My fav spring trends are:

1. Having a nice tan
2. Flip Flops and painted toes. (NEVER wear flip flops w/o toes painted...)
3. Flowing dresses
4. or shorts, t, and a baseball hat. (for those relaxing days outside)
5. Reading a book in the hammock with a glass of sweet tea
6. The LONG daylight hours!

Well there is just a quick list. I am sure I will be thinking of others all day now.

Thanks for stopping by! Talk to ya'll soon!

Spring has Sprung!

YAH!!!! Spring is here finally! Well, here in the south it can be 40 degrees one day and then the next be 70. Only in the south... But ya gotta love it. Hopefully it will stay this nice now cause little league baseball has started and I have 2 boys who play on different teams..... UGH.... Glad my daughter only does gymnastics and it is currently only in the morning.
Well, the air is warm and the POLLEN is here. That is the one thing I HATE about spring. Those allergy shots I took for years did not help a wink with the tree pollen.
Well, going outside now to play with the kiddos and then off to baseball practice!

Talk with ya'll later!

My Journey

I am going to try my hardest to start blogging again. This time I actually have something that I am passionate about to blog about. As of February 9th, I started my weight lose journey! Started several times before but this time I have taken huge steps to make sure that is stays! I joined Curves on that day and have now been 1 month. I have lost 4 inches in a month!!! YAH!!!! That is huge. I have lost weight before but it never stayed away. I guess I left a return address everytime..... Well this time (because i am paying monthly also) I have not only changed my eatting but am working out at Curves. I have never worked out before so this has all been new to me. I never had a weight issue until after I had been married for about a year.

Well, weight, be afraid be very afraid!!!!!! I am going to be your worst nightmare!!!!
