Virtual Girls Night Out Blog Party

Virtual Girls Night Out Blog Party - Amazing Giveaway!

The school year is coming to a close and I honestly can't believe it. I mean seriously, where does the time go? My oldest is graduating from Jr. High and that brings all kinds of 'Oh my little baby girl *sniff*' moments that has her dreading every time I go in for a hug. "Mom!!" I know, I know. I can't help it! *sniff* Time to get my mind off the impending graduation and play at our Virtual Girls Night Out!

*The VGNO is for those who want to party "virtually" with other bloggers. Get on your fuzzy slippers, make yourself a cocktail, and have fun! Leave a comment, along with your blog link, to let us know you've stopped by and visit the blogs of those that have visited as well. Happy VGNO!*

If you've been listening to music for the past 6 months I'm sure you've heard Fun. "Tonight". It's used in commercials, Glee's used it. Love it. Good song, it even makes me cry when I'm feeling particularly old in my mid-Forties. So I was given a good dose of "Ha!" when I saw this song/video parody.

Time For Some Tunes!

Fun.'s "Tonight We're Not Young"

I'm sure all of us could relate to this at one time or another. My "feeling old" actually started a long time ago. So now I should just laugh and have fun! The older you get, the more you deserve it.

Time For A Cocktail!

Woo Woo Cocktail

Ingredients:

~ 2 oz Vodka
~ 1 Tbsp Peach Schnapps
~ 1/2 cup Cranberry Juice
~ Lime wedge

Preparation:

Place the lime wedge into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the other ingredients. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

After a couple of these I do believe we'll be saying "Woo Woo!"

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&#
