Virtual GNO - Back To School Countdown

I did it! I survived Back-To-School shoe shopping with my girls. (We return Sept. 8th) Geez! With my oldest I wonder if she would rather pull a "Nell" and just go live in the forest. She absolutely HATES shoe shopping. Me? I don't mind so much. And you know what else I don't mind? A Virtual Girls Night Out!

Time For Some Tunes!

Simon Cowell said this guy had the "best audition ever". Well, ok. I know he's seen more auditions than I have. I will say, I like him! And this song fits for my dear blog friends :->

Danyl Johnson "With A Little Help From My Friends"
What a cutie. And he's a teacher too! Yeah for Teachers!

Time For A Cocktail!

Teacher's Pet
Ingredients:
1 oz Scotch
1 oz coffee liqueur
milk or cream
Preparation:
Pour the Scotch and coffee liqueur in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Fill with milk or cream. Shake by placing a mixing tin over the glass and giving it one or two good shakes.

Hmmm... there is one particular Teacher at the school who always carries a coffee cup with them. Hmmmm? Could this beverage be in that cup? ;->

Time For A Party Game!

"The Mighty Four"

Four places I go over and over:
1. Fred Meyer
2. Target
3. Trader Joe's
4. (My van)

Four places I would rather be:
1. Calistoga, CA
2. Calistoga, CA
3. Calistoga, CA
4. Calistoga, CA (Oh... the wine tasting... the gorgeous hills... the wine tasting)

Four things I have for breakfast (not all at once):
1. Coffee (What's in the coffee cup Ann? Hmmmm? ;-> )
2. Cereal
3. Yogurt
4. Scrambled Eggs

Your turn! Please share your Mighty Four I can't wait to see your answers.

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&#
