the time is now

hey guys. i used to love John Cena. Hence the title aha. Anyways so for one of my fifty twos i mentioned that I would like to stick to a diet and exercise regime so here I am, trying to do so. It's not so much as a diet its more of just organizing and being more careful when I eat. Pinterest (if you are saying 'huh' right now, open a new window, grab yourself a drink and get your butt on Pinterest!), taught me how to be crafty so I made a meal planner out of an old multi photo frame I had laying around. (literally it was laying on the floor behind the couch LOL). So now we can plan our meals for the week and it actually gets you excited to cook healthy meals. My worst problem is just deciding last minute what to make and you always resort to something quick, easy, and completely lacking nutritional value lol. (The power just went out!) 

Here is a picture of our new meal planner. Pretty cool, all it took was a frame, scrapbook paper, stickers, and a dry erase marker. That was our delicious Valentines day meal! Mmm. So anyways, thought it was a cool, and cost efficient idea and we won't waste paper trying to plan meals! Just wanted to share. 


So Valentines day, hope you were all wooed and spoiled. I myself received Lovestruck by Vera Wang and couldn't be happier. Go check it out if you haven't!! I also got a little crafty with my gifting this year. Adam is the MOST IMPOSSIBLE human being to buy gifts for. He never asks for or wants anything. So thankfully a video game was mentioned that happened to be released yesterday so I was in the clear, but he knew about it so I had to let my creativity shine elsewhere. So here is a little picture of his card; 

Yes i stole these paint chips from Wal-Mart, but I don't think they will be suffering from it. Anyways its cute, crafty, I got to be mushy and romantic yet still cool at the same time, and the best part; he loved it <3.    

As for the afore mentioned diet and exercise. I've done three days of Insanity workouts so far, today will be 4. And my body HATES ME. I'm so sore I can barely go up and down the stairs with the dog. But it WILL be worth it! And now that I've publicly announced it to the world (okay, well to you guys [and whoever you are I appreciate that you take time to read this]), I must keep at it! So wish me luck, and offer me and arm or massage when you see me lol. 

forever and a day

Last night while I was eating my kraft dinner and wieners I was thinking about all the things that I refuse to ever admit that I'm too old for, such as the a fore mentioned delicatessen. So here is my list;


-milk and cookies
-wearing my pajamas until noon or later on sunday
-eating the middle of the oreo first
-bubblegum
-popsicles
-sleepovers
-sleeping in a tent
-knock knock jokes
-putting chips in my sandwiches
-using twizzlers licorice as a straw
-hot chocolate and marshmallows
-roasting marshmallows
-singing along to the spice girls in the car
-making sundaes
-saturday morning cartoons
-birthday cake
-lip gloss
-shirley temples
-napping
-chocolate milk
-telling my pets my boy troubles
-playing loud music while cleaning my room
-bubblegum or cotton candy ice cream
-wearing un matching socks
-trying to avoid stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk
-saying cooties
-giggling


I'll add to this list as they come to me

you're just somebody that i used to know

hi guys! me again!
SO ... I love Pinterest! Don't even try to judge me because I know you love it too! Just incredible and I learn so much on there. If you don't know what I'm talking about grab yourself a glass of wine (tonights pick for me is Muskoka Lakes Cranberry Blueberry), google Pinterest, and enjoy! 


Anyways so my life is good. I'm looking at some prospective buildings this week and hoping to find my perfect spa location and start up on my own! I mean it's now or never right? I'm very excited and can't wait to have more to tell you! 


Ava has her FINAL puppy class tomorrow! She's getting to big!! Just love her :) I must admit I'm kind of nervous for classes to be over! She does so well there and she and I have learned so much! But if she does something bad I know that I have mondays class to talk to her teacher and find out exactly how to correct it, and I'm losing that! It's like my security blanket. Ah well, we will be fine and there are always more classes to take! 


Well just a short post from me tonight, I'm off to watch Adeles Live at Royal Albert Hall. And no, we're not watching the Superbowl... we don't have cable. Kind of sad actually. But thankfully I only watch it for the good commercials and the half time show... and let's face it, I hate Madonna. I do think it is time to get cable though... I mean I didn't even know what The Woman in Black was. Thankfully I watched the trailer on YouTube and am still having nightmares and will never, EVER be watching that film. Yikes! :/ Thank you YouTube for saving me from wetting my pants (or worse) in a public theater. 


I'm off to sing and cry my heart out !
