Valentine's Day

-
Growing up Ma always decorated the table for Valentine's Day Dinner and had a small gift for each of us
Sis in law, Sara, shared a fab cookie recipe with me (woot!) We're trying to eat healthy less so I only baked two. Although I missed the others that I would've eaten, knowing that you're only going to eat ONE does make you enjoy it a bit more. On that particular night you would've found me slow dancing in the kitchen with my cookie. Tasting the chocolate, feeling the crunch of the m-n-m's instead of thinking about the next five one.
But I came home from MOPS to find these home made beauties. Kent's not only my Valentine, but also my new work out buddy so I'm kind of surprised that he would sabotage my training like this...
But after eight one or two strawberries I forgave him.
Uh what work out plan?

Here I am running late for MOPS. I'm wearing "the colors of love" as assigned and carrying the rest of my cookies. After the picture went something like this...

"Do I look ok? Is this sweater/shirt combo too baggy? Like I'm trying to hide something? Do I look pregnant? Where are my shoes? Have you seen my shoes? Brown flats. I'm so late. What about this sweater? FOUND MY SHOES. Are you sure people bring things in just Tupperware? Nothing fancier? Ok I gotta go"
{I decided to change my sweater after Kent didn't answer with his usual "You look fine. You should go, you're late" response}

Happy Heart Day! HUGS ALL AROUND!

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
