Under the Weather

I have been feeling a little under the weather since Sunday...which has trickled over to Monday...ugh! But either way i mustered all the power i had to get myself to the office today. Funny thing..my stomach has been feeling like a roller coaster running around in circles....up until i ate popcorn....popcorn...really???? I am a clean eater and this makes no sense to me at all...but oh well...take it for what it's worth...popcorn makes your stomach feel...so much better :-) (at least today)






Hope everyone is having a GREAT week!!!

TGIF!!!! It was a long week...with the graduation festivities and all, i am officially pooped! I have  also begun running again..and boy does it feel good. of course my legs are aching...but it a good kind of ache (is there a good ache?)...lol. I am taking a class called tread it, where you do a 45 min workout on the treadmill, and boy did it kick my butt....but i am worth it. Well, let's hope the rain stays away for the weekend...enjoy!

Graduation Day!

So yesterday my 14 y.o. graduated from 8th grade and i finally found something to wear... Today was a good day...the weather was sunny, warm and not raining. We celebrated with family by having lunch at one of Alex's favorite Mexican restaurants nearby. After i dried my tears..yes i cried....we said goodbye to the place we spent many years (8 to be exact). Now on to the next exciting chapter...high school.


Told you i cried....

Random acts of kindness...

As i was thinking of what fashionable post i would create...i began to think of my weekend as a whole and how it all played out. Well when you have a 14y.o who is about to graduate and has played on a traveling soccer team for the past 8 years...you have pretty busy weekends. With that being said...i ran around town yesterday from a soccer game to dropping her off at the summer bash with friends to shop shopping (previous post) for myself...today pretty much the same...soccer then off to the hair dresser for graduation hair cut... but all i could think about was a random act of kindness that trickled a way of kindness acts...

While sitting at a stop light, there a a man in the middle of the road with a dog holding a sign saying, "down on my luck". All of a sudden there was  a woman who pulled up and gave the guy a bag of dog food. This was seen by the car in front of me, the person in the car in front of me rolled down his window and gave the man some money...now here i sit eating raspberries ( buy 1 get 2 for free) watching all of this...well i decided to give the man a pint of fresh raspberries. As i drove away i felt so good seeing people do good things...it's true doing good can bring others to follow in the same way... at least yesterday it did...what a good day!!!

Shoes anyone????

Did i says shoes? Well of course i did...if you have been following me, then you can tell i have a LOVE for shoes!!! I feel that some days you may feel a little bloated...but not my feet.... a little sad...but not my feet....a little heavier...but not my feet! Get where i am going here....
Sometimes when you clothes shop things don't always go as planned...due to how you are feeling. Well guess what i feel your feet never change (unless you are shopping at the end of the day...bad idea). Any who...i have been having days like that so i decided to shoe shop...my feet haven't changed size (i think..lol) A girls has got to have her confidence in some way...so until my new pilates class begins...shoes it is! Tell me what you think....
