Mine has been and likely will always be "go with the flow"! I don't know if its really a mantra sense I don't think its all that inspirational, but with my laid back attitude with things it fits me perfectly! Its not to say that I won't ever stand up for something, since I could always control which way the flow goes when I want...its just the manner in which I do it, I won't disrupt the current I just slowly change it!
Man! This one was hard! I don't know what my favorite picture of all time is but these are definitely on top!
The first one was the first portrait session with both kids and it was actually the first frame snapped! I loved everything about it, even the fact that my coworker thought Drew was wearing a hat (he's not its just that awesome head of hair he has). The thing I love most is that they're still my little babies here!
The second one is one taken recently! Emmeline wanted me to take a picture of her by the water with her iTouch. I was getting ready to do so when this little Power Ranger ran in and held his pose! I was laughing so hard it took me a few seconds to snap the picture. Luckily he held his pose because he usually just does poses for a split second! This picture totally shows the kids' personailities! I LOVE it!
I'm pretty sure I blogged about my addiction to ear plugs last time this topic came up but I can't think of anything else! I love these things and literally can't sleep without them! On my last trip iout of town, I thought I didn't pack them! When I got to the hotel room, I found that not only did I pack a pair I had 2 other pairs hidden in my purse and laptop bag for emergency situations! Saved!
About 6 weeks ago, I started a second weight loss challenge. I thought it'd keep me motivated since I took first place in the percentage lost category...taking the title from reigning weight loss champ, Mica! During that first week, we had to identify some personal goals and how we were going to achieve them. Mica said one of her goals was to run a 5K in 30 minutes, I thought that sounded challenging yet doable! Well 6 weeks later and I'm no where close to accomplishing this goal! Did I mention its only an 8 week weight loss challenge? I have until November to train or Alisa and Mica are going to leave me in their rainbow dust!
Mica and Jenny made my last few years of college adventuresome to say the least! I'd say that the three of us were a recipe for success...success in partying hard while still managing to kick butt in class...when we showed up! Each of us had our specialties and we really balanced each other out! Mica was the one that made it to class the least but got the best grades...the brain! Jenny was the bible beating Korean who stole pens from the Jester store but remained always the angel in everyone's eyes! I might have been the one that got the drunkest most of the time but still managed to take care of everyone. I might have also been the one that took a quiz while quite possibly still drunk and threw up all over the quiz and some classmates including "the brain" but still aced it (got the bonus question)...remember I said might so don't judge!
The three of us also created a website our senior year and it wasn't that kind of website...it was for a class project! We beat out all the other websites and got awarded some coveted title! Our topic of choice was different diets, and as the professor announced our site as the winner and the topic all three of us were digging through the bag of treats that was being passed around the room! But you can see from the picture we were some skinny minnies! Hook 'em ladies! Love y'all!
This day was the complete opposite of hot, freezing cold with gusty winds and constant rain! I'm cold just thinking about it! Alisa and I finished our very first 10K on this day though! Its hard to see but we did have costumes, Tweedle Dee and Dum. At the start of the race I felt pretty dumb for subjecting myself to such misery but in the end was glad I did it! We also each got 2 nice running shirts out of it, since other people were smart and just skipped the run they had a lot of leftover shirts to handout!
Completely falling off the weight loss challenge band wagon! Today I really craved pizza! After I had my fill of pizza, I knew I was way over my calorie count so I might as well eat whatever since I already lost my 10 points the day! So Dennis agreed to stop by Sonic. I've always known about the Sonic Happy Hour, who doesn't love half price lemon berry slushes?! But did you know after 8 pm, its half price shakes. It was only recently that we discovered this so that's what I wanted to finish my night off with! It didn't help that my chocolate shake wasn't very chocolately so I came home dumped it in the blender with a spoonful of Nutella! Mmmmmm! Fallen!
Didn't even occur to me to take a picture of my shake because I downed it so fast...I'm getting my five points for not eating after 9 at least! I'll take credit where its earned!
