I wanted to say 'thanks' for reading my post(s). I hope you are enjoying them as much as I am typing/sharing them.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

The sun has been out here - so I haven't posted in awhile.

I'm not much of a Pop Tart fan - my kids will eat some of them...sort of picky kids I have. Oh well. They are more into eating cereal, pancakes and waffles. I'm a very happy mom. I mainly like to eat pancakes, eggs & hashbrowns (but I haven't been eating much of any hashbrowns lately), waffles, or english muffin with fig jelly on it. Yeah - I am a little weird, I know. Thanks! I've been doing really good eating breakfast - which I haven't done in a very long-long time. My mother never made me eat it before school (when I was younger), so I am used to not eating breakfast. I'm not much of a coffee drinker either - but I do enjoy an iced latte every now and then.

I usually get hungry around lunchtime (around 2pm for sure) and then craving whatever in the evening.

So, lately, I've been eating breakfast every morning (WOW!) And I, mosttimes, have been having lunch by noon. And I have been fixing a lot of at home meals - this means I've only been eating out once a week - and not to a fast food joint either. I've been really good for about 2-3 weeks. And to be honest, I haven't lost any weight. I am pretty active already, but have included a nice brisk walk every morning for 1 hour.

I guess my metabolism is all messed up. Something to look forward to when you are my age...hee-hee It's like hitting my head against a wall and not feeling it...

Oh well. I'm going to the gym starting this next week - I have it all scheduled and planned. Wish me luck (again)

Ok, to you young ones - even though I am 36 years young - for Valentine's Day you could do this:
1) make cupcakes and decorate them in colors of red/pink/white (cinnamon candies are good decorations too)
2) download a favorite tune of yours - or go out there and get a CD of your chosing;
3) make dinner for your parent(s);
4) make cut out hearts and decorate them and you can either put them up in your room and/or give them away to a loved one (like your grandparent(s), parent(s), brother/sister, etc.);
5) or get those paper doillies (you can get these and craft supplies at any local ($) Dollar Store) and decorate them with glitter, etc.;
6) send your self a valentine gram or something like that at school (a friend of mine sent herself balloons - yeah, that was an attention grabber);
7) take a nice bath and relax;
Well, these are some of the things I did when I was younger (and still do to this day with my kids).
I hope I helped in some little way...enjoy!

til Valentine's Day. I hope you all enjoy the day...whether it be enjoying it with a loved one or by yourself (be sure to pamper yourself a little - a spa treatment, a gift, some flowers, spend time with friends, a good movie, good food, a bath, etc.).

Back to school I go - I'm in my mid-to late 30's (actually I'm just 36)...I'm not old but I'm old enough to know better, I think! :)
I am taking a number of classes (not a full load but just about). Most of my classes are online. I have a training lesson every Monday evening and will continue to have this training until I meet the 25 hour requirement. So, I guess I'll have these trainings thru March. WOW!
I entered a sweepstakes today on lifetimetv.com - I'm hoping to win the Fiji trip. I can sure use the R & R. :)
Got my coffee this morning...I'm all geared up and ready to go-go-go. By tonight though, it may be an entirely different story. I may need to get another iced latte just to get through the evening.
Wish me luck.
