Virtual GNO - My "Kat" Made Me Do It

Busy! Busy! Busy!
Yep, it's that time of year, and I'm happy with all the going's on, however I need to take a little break from party planning to hang out for a little VGNO with some friends.
Here's how it's done; when someone leaves a comment, or sign's Mr. Linky, go visit their blog and leave a comment. When your blog is visited go introduce yourself to your guest. But come back! It's a party! Invite your friends.

Alright now, my Sassy Irish Lassy, Kat has included me in a photo tag.
I've been playing in, what Portland weather casters are calling, an "Artic Blast". It's really ridiculous what they close schools for out here in the Pacific Northwest. "Was that a flake I saw fall? Hurry! Go to the stores and stock-up on Top Ramen! It's an Artic Blast!!!"
Kat asked for a picture of what we were doing right now. Here I am in the snow...

(I think Kat and I could be sisters!)
Since it's Virtual GNO I tag you all! I would love to see pictures of what you are doing RIGHT NOW!

Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?

I just love the message. (And I get a kick out of kooky people.)

Time For A Cocktail

Holiday Cheer
Ingredients:
1 Champagne
1 Frozen Cranberry Juice
1 Lime

Directions:
Mix champagne and frozen cranberry juice (undiluted). Slice lime and garnish each wine glass. Serve with breakfast to start the day right. Note: Mix right before serving to retain the bubbles. You may use non-alcoholic champagne.
(Yep. You read it right. "Serve with breakfast...")

OK now, it's time to play along at the Virtual GNO. Go take part in the tag, sign Mr. Linky and fix yourself a cocktail. Cheers!

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.

And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
