Welcome May: Summer is almost here

Image
How is everyone doing? The warm weather is trying really hard to show it's face here in IL. We have had some nice days but I look forward to summer. Last night was our last spin class for a while since the gym is closing for two weeks. They have to work on the water system, paint, etc. It might be just what I need with the pinched nerve I have had for 3 weeks. You can read more about that over on my weight loss journal. I have been working on my name domain website and will hopefully have that up this weekend. It will basically just showcase our websites and my favorite business resources, blogs and stuff like that. I needed one main hub where everything could go. I was going to start a blog with it and use it for personal stuff and business but I'm still debating on that. Do you have your own name domain? If so, please feel free to share it! Thanks to the great ladies over at 5 Minutes for Mom , I am in Jamaica mode this morning. They have a great giveaway (for FIVE

What's Up With Me and Giveaways

WOW, can't believe it's been a month since I last posted here! I have been putting most of my blogging efforts into my weight loss journal (blog) so again you can keep up with me over there if you choose. I haven't had the chance to get my new personal blog up so I'll just keep checking in here until I can get that together. I'm so excited because next week my mom and dad are coming in to town to help celebrate my and Kev's birthday's. I'll be 37 next week, April Fool's Day. We are going to go to Bahama Breeze for dinner (I got a $10 coupon from them) and do a bit of shopping at our favorite tea shop, maybe grab a few things from Whole Foods and then get some yummy ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery (got another coupon, free b-day ice cream). I was laughing yesterday because I also just got a b-day coupon via email for Moe's, one of my favorite fast food restaurants. We might have to take a break from cleaning the house this weekend to go g

February Check In

How is your February going so far? Mine is good. Kev and I went to Bahama Breeze for our Valentine's Day dinner (but we went a few days before). Had to run errands so it was perfect timing so we would not have to brave the crowds. It was a pretty fabulous and healthy meal. We would've normally went to Red Lobster, our usual but I just wasn't feeling it this year. Did you happen to catch my new ride? You can see it here and while you're there friend me on Facebook . Having fun with it. And Kev got one too but in silver. The color and mileage was the only difference. We are looking forward to a nice day where we can get a twin picture of the 2 trucks ha ha. Oh and it's a Dodge Nitro in case you're wondering. Today it's snowing here in IL and we are staying home! Rented so many movies last night so we are going to just chill out and enjoy the day. Having a nice big bowl of oatmeal and getting work done while hubs sleeps. Be sure to stop by my weight

Checking in

Just wanted to check in and remind you to visit my weight loss journal (blog) to keep up to date with me. I am doing well and keeping busy. I am looking forward to getting my name domain blog/site up in the near future so I'll be sure to announce it so you can be sure to follow me there. Menu Plan Monday was also moved to that blog so drop on by and let me know what yummies you've been eating. I have found some cool giveaways that I would like to share so I'll be posting those along the way as well. My friend is having a martini birthday party tonight and I bought her the cutest martini glass. I'll do a review of the product soon so you can see. She's house sitting for this family and the house is huge. It has an indoor pool, hot tub and much more. She's there until March, lucky gal. LOL The first giveaway I would like to share is a blog design giveaway. You know I could use this for my name domain on WordPress that I haven't even published live yet bu

L'Oreal Paris and A Mom in Red High Heels

My online friend Tammy of A Mom in Red High Heels has the coolest opportunity. She's in Beverly Hills at the L'Oreal Paris Gifting Suite at the Golden Globes. As the celebs go through the suite she will blog about the beauty and fashion trends she sees AND she'll let us know what kind of SWAG is going out the door. Ahhh wish I could be there with her but I don't know much about beauty or fashion (that is why I read her blog in the first place LOL). Hope you'll take a minute to check out her blog. Edited to add: Tammy has a cool L'Oreal SWAG giveaway posted on her blog. You should go and enter. I'm on my way there now.

I'll be posting here off and on until I get that blog up and running. Just wanted to give you a quick update. Happy New Year!
