My Charmed Life

I got my luggage tags in the mail today! How cute are they? I absolutly love these. Big thanks to Patty and Chris at My Charmed Life for these beauts. AND a HUGE thanks to Jo Jo for all her cool bloggy give-aways!


I will get some good use out of these. I will also know where to point them when everyone is jealous!

The Biggest Loser

We started "The Biggest Loser" at work yesterday. Whoever loses the largest percent of body weight wins! Guys and girls in the same pot. We have 5 weeks until the competition is over. I am very excited about this because it will be gREAt motivation. On top of that...there is about $400 cash for the winner. I think I can do this. Seriously. I may have to be carried to the final weigh in due to weakness, but hey, it's $400 bucks!

What my strategy you ask?

1. Low Carb Diet

2. Water or water with Crystal Light

3. Lots of running

With only two days into the competition I have stood my ground. I ran a mile and walked a mile yesterday. Today I ran a mile, and walked a mile again. I had a hamburger patty for supper. And lunch...take a lookie:

A few cherries. Pitiful, sad, and everything YOU shouldn't do on a diet. But the competition is fierce and I'm all in ba-bay!

P.S. Now off to belly dance and practice in the mirror for some mo' exercise :-)

Re-Raxing

This weekend was relaxing. I was able to catch up on missed sleep and also get some exercise in. It was pretty uneventful - which was actually "planned" so I count it as a win! Although I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow - I am thankful that I have a job. The weekend will be here before I know it.

Remember "Art on the Rocks" that I mentioned a few weeks ago? Well, it's this Friday and I haven't found a dress yet! AHHH. I must shop this week....

Green Faces

Do you ever just want to do silly girly things? Well, my cousin and I think it is so much fun to do facials, massages, manis, pedis, and the like. It is always refreshing to girl talk with a green face! haha. Do yourself a favor and take time to do these kinds of thing. It is fabulous!

Farewell Friend

Farewell my little friend. It is time for school to start back and our intern has to return to Auburn. She and I became friends as she was inducted into the 'Hot Bod Quad.' We have 4 cubes, so it is easy to socialize and become close to your surrouding boxmates. I thought it would be fun to have her a little going away party yesterday. Obviously, my them was orange and blue for Auburn. Only for her...Roll Tide Roll. If you will look closely to the left you will see a swag I made for her! I was in such a rush making it and decorating the next morning that I didn't take a closeup. But it was precious. It had pawprint, tigerprint, and tons of orange, blue, and white ribbon. AU signs were attached with closepins! We will miss you little miss :)

Here she is just a' posing in front of her alma matar backdrop.

Red and white make for a 'Bama Attack!' Michael thought it would be fun to attack at different times during the day.

The members of the Hot Bod Quad. The fourth was taking the picture.

One more thing...

Oh, AND I am back in action with my wedding tales blog :-)

New Toy!

I got an iPod. A little behind the times I know. But still...it's very exciting. I went with the iPod Classic so I can downlad movies. The nano is 8g but the classic is 80g. Not a bad upgrade for $50. So, tonight I will be downloading songs.

My friend and I have started jogging and are running in some type of "thon" on August 16. That is just 2 weeks away! I was able to run one mile without stopping today. Tomorrow...it will be 1 1/2 miles. A lot to do in a little bit of time.

I'm not sure of the details yet. I only know the date. Scary huh?
