Thanksgiving Photos!!

look at that smile!!

PaPa and Lil J!(my nephew)

add about five or six more people to the equation and you have us all!

Poor baby did not leave my side. I'm not sure WHAT the kids fed him but he was so very sick today! Poor baby! At first I was pretty frustrated, but I was more worried to be honest.

Me being tortured! Two kids were braiding my hair and the one in purple wanted me to braid her hair. Do you know how hard it is to braid someones hair while you have TWO kids braiding yours??? it ain't easy. ;)

my awesome work!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I know first hand that the holidays are difficult and stressful. Family members don't always get together, food gets burned, things are spilt...so on and so on. But at the end of it, it usually ends well. We leave with memories, some bad, most good. We also get a whole new year  to be thankful for new and old things.

Peacock wasn't able to make it to my family feast, which while it sucks, I still had fun. I know his family feast wasn't the best, but I know he still had a few fun moments. Plus I know his little boy had fun.

If you follow me on twitter you'll have seen a few pictures and a few posts on lost of food!! Ugh I was sooo stuffed and so thankful for my lactaid pills. I popped around four yesterday!! and they helped!!


Well I am going to get back to working on Christmas Presents!! Sweet Dreams Y'all!!!

Rainy Day

Ugh! This is definitely a QUICK POST!!

I actually woke up early this morning and took time to love on Oliver and just relax a little. I also finished my 101 in 1001 list!! Finally!! This one will not be changed or altered it WILL BE COMPLETED. I know I've attempted this at least three different times.

But! Because it took me so long to finish my list I know have to hurry and get dressed. Which stinks because I don't want to go to work, I just want to cuddle up with Peacock and watch a black and white movie. And have Oli laying next to us. He is a big scaredy cat when it comes to rain and small storms.

SO either tonight or TOMORROW I will have the new updated version of 101 in 1001. I'm pretty excited.

Also keep in mind a few of the things on the list will probably be done two to three times. Depending. ;)

New Work Out Routine

Oh goodness..
Good-good-goodness..

Oliver and I are finally getting on the same page.
ONE: He does not like small spaces.

Example 1:tore his cage up. from the inside.

TWO: He will not walk up stairs.


But he does great out in the openness of the apartment. The apartment which I already want to change again, furniture wise anyways. I'm craving a purple sofa, a round dining table, and an iron head board. The last two will happen, I've got to just get some purple accessories instead of a sofa. As much as I love purple, I don't know that I could handle a purple sofa for too long.

So I'm pretty sure I gained like six pounds last week. Hence the NO weight-loss photos!


Which brings us to the new work out routine:

*Walking Oliver every morning and night, about half a mile(I think I'm not good at guesstimation).
*Carrying Oliver up FOUR flights of stairs.
*At least three times a week going to the gym.
*Running at least four times a week. I"m going to start training for a marathon.


Now the new Diet:

*No gluten. My body honestly doesn't like it. SO the most I'll have it is once a week.
*Barely ANY dairy, unless it's organic and even barely then.
*Only organic meat.
*And the KEY: as much LOCAL as possible.


This girl is kinda goin' hippy.

Oh Dear God.

DISCLAIMER:

There is some (quite a bit) of cussing in this video.

(excuse my red-ness due to running up four flights of stairs.)
