Virtual GNO - Summer Vacation Burn Out Already?



I'm at the end of our first full week of Summer vacation and I already feel burnt out. Julie, your Cruise Director, is out of ideas. Or, at least, low on energy. I think I'm expecting too much. A few days of going with the flow should be acceptable. What's the matter with me?!? *deep breath*

OK. Starting now I'm going to relax with the "Activity Schedule" and see what happens. How about a Virtual Girls Night Out to put me in the right frame of mind?

*The VGNO is a blog-hopping party that began in 2008 and, thanks to your support, has no intention of slowing down. Add you blog link below and join the party!

Time For Some Tunes!

*For the great group at VGNO!*



Crazy kids. (I would love to put my face under a soft serve spout!)

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

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&#
