About Last Night
And after the night our neighborhood had last night I think we could all go for a couple of those Pear Margarita's.  It seems that an incredibly drunk man tried to get into my neighbors house around 12:30 last night.  Their 17 y/o daughter was on the computer and heard the door trying to be opened.  She woke up her dad and the 2 of them yelled through the door telling this guy to go away.  The drunk guys response?  "I want to sleep in your house!  Let me in!"  He then went to their back door. THAT'S when they called the police.

The police stopped in front of our house, with their search lights pointed directly into our living room and our girls bedroom, and questioned this guy for an hour.  Gee, if this guys causing a ruckus let's just wake up the whole neighborhood!  Man.  They eventually cuffed him and took him away.   Late night game of "Go Fish" anyone?

So, how was your night?  ;->

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&#
