I just downloaded a Blogger app on my phone. Testing to see if it works.

I Blame Mr. Hershey

197.2. It's all Mr. Hershey's fault. We have a plethora of Rolos and Mr. Goodbars in our house right now. Man, those things are yummy. I have eaten two or three a day in the past few weeks. I guess that's why my weight has started creeping back up.

I will say that this is the most I have ever weighed. It really stinks. So, here I go again. If I eat a candy bar, I am going to walk on the treadmill until I have burned those candy bar calories off my big fat belly.

On another note, we were in Florida last week visiting my mother-in-law. She and I went to get a mani/pedi and the spa there has a doctor who comes in and does botox and laser liposuction. LASER LIPOSUCTION, I say!! No needles, no scars. How awesome would that be? In and out. Instant flat belly. I'm afraid to ask how much it would cost.

On another, another note, I have two of three craft posts in the making so be sure to check back next week. I have really cute cards to show you.

Until next time!

Currently......

Well, not currently as in right this minute. 

Currently as in starting tomorrow. 

I hurt already.

Challenge #12 - Kid's Theme

Challenge #12 is to create a item with a Kid Theme. I knew just what I wanted to do when I saw this. I've had this page in mind for awhile, but have never gotten the time to set down and actually create. I cut everything with my gypsy (love that thing!!) and even have the recipe right in front of me to type it up for you!! (Still haven't found the recipe for Challenge #4.

I just love this team photo of The Boy's first Tball team. They are all such cuties!!

Recipe:

(All papers were from my stash.)
Cricut Cartridge: Sports Mania

"Go Team" - width: 3.16in & length: 2.66in

Plans were changed today. I had planned to scrapbook all day after church, but The Husband wanted to take me out to lunch for Mother's Day and who I am to say no?!?! So, while I didn't get to participate in all the Challenges at My Pink Stamper, I am happy with the two that I did do.  And, who knows? The deadline is tomorrow night. Maybe I'll sneak in another challenge or two.

National Scrapbooking Day!!

Today is National Scrapbooking Day and for the first time ever, I am going to participate in some challenges that I found online. Luckily, the challenges are opened all weekend so I have time to go back and create. Some blogs are doing one challenge an hour. Now, there is no way that I will be able to do all of those, but I will pick and choose by the prize that is given away. 

So, be expecting lots of post from me on this blog. Each challenge requires a post and I've already found 3 that I know I want to do.

Let the fun begin!!!

Challenge #4 - Mother's Day Theme

I made this card today for the best mother in the world - MINE!! She is pretty awesome and  I love her so much. 

Mumsy (I love calling her that!!) loves flowers and while I don't have a cartridge with her favorite flower (irs), I know she will love this card anyway. 

(Note to self: Get 50 States cartridge. You need it!!)

I will put the recipe for this card up later. I can't find my paper where I wrote everything down. Also, sorry if there are some i's missing from ths post. My i key is not wanting to work. I've tried to go back and add any that I could find. Stupd i button -  making this so hard to type. Boo, i button!!  BOO!!!

For example, here's a sentence without me going back and fixing the missing letters.

 never knew how much the letter  was used untl  mssed t. t s used n so many words and s only mssed when t doesn't work.

Very annoying. 

Here's the sentence fixed. 

I never knew how much the letter i was used until I missed it. It is used in so many words and is only missed when it doesn't work.

 Anywho! Back on topic. I will add the recipe for this card later. Now, I'm off to find that missing piece of paper.

A Good Week

This week had some mishaps, successes, and tantrums in the getting healthy aspect of my life. We'll start off with the bumps in the road and end with the successes.


Mishaps:
* Didn't drink water each day
* Had a chocolate revolution on Wednesday. Ate chocolate all day. I craved it. It was pure madness
*Had a chip explosion on Friday. Two bags of chips in one day. Why, yes. Yes, I did.

Tantrums:
*Very moody and grumpy because I wanted a Dr. Pepper and hadn't had one in a few days. (Note to Self: Apologize to The Husband)

Successes:
*Drank more water than I have in a long time.
*One day of exercise is better than no days of exercise in a week.
*Realized that it is okay to drink that Dr. Pepper if it makes me a nice person. Food will not control my mood. (Note to Self: Make a plaque/wall hanging/bumper sticker/etc. that says "Food will not control my mood.)
*Lost 3.2 lbs!!!
