Friday Night Party ----- Virtual GNO

Join me in a Virtual Girls Night Out!  

Since 2008 we've been "partying" here on Friday nights and I'd love to have you join us.  Get cozy, enjoy this post, share your blog link in the comments and visit those that have left their blog links and say "Happy VGNO!" :-> 

So...

How has 2014 been treatin' ya'?  I don't know what it is but the beginning of the year is met with good intentions but moods always seem to get heavy and not at all what I'm comfortable with.  I'm doing what I can to change the energy, get things in a positive direction and say 'Hey!  Let's focus on the good!'  What say you?

Time For Some Tunes!

Time For A Party Game!

A Christmas present to the family was the game "Would You Rather...?"  We played it the other night and had lots of fun and, well, were also grossed out when the spinner pointed at the Unpleasant column.  Oh, those questions are so gross!  I'm not going to ask you a disgusting question (not this time, anyway ;-> ) but I will ask you this:

Would You Rather...

A)  Be Too Hot? 

Or

B.)  Be Too Cold?

Present this question on your blog, letting your readers know you are playing at the Virtual Girls Night Out. Or, answer in the comments below.

Time For Adorableness!

Have you seen Frozen yet?  If not, oh my goodness, it's so much better than I thought it was going to be.  I thought it was going to be just a story about a snowman wanting to see the sun.  But no, it's a fantastic musical about sisters, and adventure, and love and... oh, just go.  If you have seen Frozen then you should get a kick out of this video. 4-Year old sisters Maddie and Zoe singing "Let It Go":

Just adorable!  And, think about this, they had to memorize the words.  Wow.  

Thanks for hanging out at tonight's Virtual Girls Night Out!  Share your blog link in the comments and visit those that have left their blog links and say "Happy VGNO!" 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.  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&#
