Virtual GNO - Sweet!



Is it really Friday? The week actually went quickly for me. I almost missed an important appointment yesterday because I've been a day off this week. Maybe due to the fact that I was a bit fixated on my 11 yr. old's Sex Ed. class that began this week. We're growing up in this house!!! Know what I need? A Virtual Girls Night Out!

New to the party? Welcome! The original Virtual Girls Night Out (boys welcome too) is a blog-hopping party that began in the summer of 2008. I couldn't get a sitter and I was in desperate need for time away from my children. So, I did the next best thing and turned to my blog friends. This is how we do it. Check out my VGNO post then sign the Mr. Linky guestbook below. Visit fellow bloggers that have signed in as well. Go blog-hopping!

So about that very important appointment I almost missed yesterday... it was time to color those grey roots!


What the heck happened to my eyebrow?! Where'd the rest of it go???

I am so bad about doing things for myself that it took the hairstylists wife to call me and tell me the day I was getting my hair done. She even called the night before to make sure I wouldn't forget! Now that's service (and it helps that she is a fellow mom who has the same trait).

Let's Get This Hair On The Dance Floor!

You might not be able to get that little "Boom - Sha - Laka" out of your head today. Sorry about that. 'Boom - Sha - Laka' Oops! There I go!

Time For A Cocktail!

Since I covered the grey I thought a little Grey Goose vodka was in order. And a bit of chocolate doesn't hurt either!

Chocolate Candy
Ingredients
1 oz Godiva® chocolate liqueur
1 oz vanilla schnapps
1 oz creme de cacao
1 oz Grey Goose® vodka

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
