Blab 'n Gab

Let me just show you the greatest invention of all time! This baby is perfect for keeping all that unruly woman counter mess in one place! I got it a few days ago and it has been amazing! I went through all my drawers and put all of my makeup in the nice little organizers and I was amazed to find makeup I didn't even know I had!

I recommend it to any woman! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MC19YC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

Can you believe it’s time to plan an anniversary trip?! WHAT!? The year has flown by and we know if we want a good deal we have to plan early! I figured now is the time to go on these big trips together. We have good jobs and no kids so we have all of the flexibility we need! In 5 years when life is a little bit different we can do the smaller, closer to home trips. I have ideas for those too, but I’ll wait for now! My sights are big!

I’m totally fine with the Bahamas but I guess that means we have to get the hubby a passport! Hopefully it can come in 4 months. I got mine a long t

Ok, I am officially motivated to work on weight loss this year! Not that I wasn’t before, but I’ve really got to get this thing going in order to better my life! I started on January 2 nd and ran for 24 minutes. Then on the 3 rd I went for 23 minutes. Of course, when I say run I really mean a walk/run combo because I’m not in shape enough to run that long! I was really motivated to do something over the weekend, but we ended up working on the yard Saturday and Sunday so I figured that was enough. I raked leaves and gathered sticks and my arms are actually a little sore. I intend to run again this evening even though I have some terrible allergies going right now after all that yard work! At work we are having a weight loss challenge for Q1 which will go until the end of March. It’s based on percentage and not actual weight loss, but hopefully having the constant weigh-ins will keep me going! I also bought a month long membership to the boxing gym down the street. I went for a bit l
