SOMETIMES...

Sometimes when I am jogging I do my best thinking and come up with some really good ideas ....if only I could remember them until I get home!!

TV....THE MORE YOU WATCH

I saw this bumper sticker the other day.....TV...the MORE you watch the LESS you know. I am starting to agree with this...it all just goes on and on and they never really say anything or offer real solutions. We just have the converter box (no cable or dish) ...I can't imagine having 100 or more channels to watch and everyone being a talking head...it all just becomes too much! The other bumper sticker on this car was much smaller...Compassion equals Revolution...I have to think about that one...(I think I like it)

LOL...at myself..

Sometimes I really do crack myself up and sometimes I really do worry about my mental state...my husband makes me say his name three times a day ...just in case...lol...Anyway..to make a long story short....We went to dinner at my Aunt Bev's the othr night...she always makes the BEST lemon meringue pie but this one was PERFECT....OMGosh it was so good I had two pieces though I knew in the back of my little pea brain that was equal to about six hours of jogging...who cares? She was kind enough to send the rest home with us. I was going to take the last slice and put it on a pretty plate with a dessert fork....like I see so many fellow bloggers do...this was my chance...lol...Between the getting out of the fridge and getting it ready for the pic ....I ATE IT !!!! lol lol...Seriously...no picture on the pretty plate and the pretty fork...I still can't believe I did that!!!!..On another note...do you know what STRESSED is spelled backwards....DESSERTS!!! Think about it....

COUPLE OF LUCKY DUCKS....

I want to share this because it made me happy and cozy in my heart....The other night my husband Larry climbed into bed and right before he went to sleep he said "We are just a couple of lucky ducks". I don't know why but that just struck me as one of the sweetest things. Sure we have the usual worries and cares but all in all we are just so lucky ...we are healthy, our families our healthy, we are surviving this "new normal" economy and we love each other....what more can we ask for?

PIONEER WOMAN COOKS...

Have you ever read a cookbook cover to cover all at one time...that's what I did with The Pioneer Woman Cooks....recipes from an accidental country girl. It was that good...just like Ree's blog but even better. It will make you smile and encourage you to slow down, relish the joys of family, nature, great food and enjoy life. I waited awhile before I bought it because it was on my "want" list and not on my "need" list....then Mr. Builder gave me a gift card to Barnes and Noble for Christmas so...what's a girl to do??? So worth the money...though I don't think I have EVER cooked anything using 2 CUPS of butter, 3 cups of sugar, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup of vegetable oil and on and on...(and that is just the recipe for the cinnamon rolls !!! But boy do they sound good !!! The pictures are great and the stories are funny....go ahead...treat yourself...you will be glad you did !!

JUST DO IT !!!

Everyone doing their exercises for the New Year???...you know what they say JUST DO IT !!! I actually started my New Years Resolution Oct 1st....to really concentrate on my jogging and lose these last 10-15 pounds...I am happy (and proud) to say I have been following through pretty darn good...and can tell the difference...Up to six miles of jogging and eating healthy....tried on clothes the other day at the mall and I bought a size 10 pants and they fit great !! YIPPEE!! I encourage you all to do the best you can....get out there and JUST DO IT ....you will be glad you did!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

I'm wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year...hope 2010 is full of good cheer. My resolution is to spend more time in the real world and not so much in the virtual world (computer) and so I am only going to post once a week or so....I can't quite give up reading my favorite blogs so I will continue to read and leave comments....It is a gorgeous sunny day in Arizona to start the New Year ...going to go out and enjoy it...
