~ Happy Happy Friday~

Yeah….Friday has arrived! I always can feel it in the air..I love Fridays! It is going to be a great start to a great weekend. I have a busy day planned. First I am going to pamper myself at the nail salon…not only a fill, but the best pedicure ever! Ahhh, it feels sooooo good! I am trying to decide what color to paint my tootsies. Hmm! I am thinking something different..not the typical red or pink. They are black now..so I am thinking purple or blue. Something fun! I can’t go for the bright colors quite yet..they look good in the summer when I am tan. I am pretty pale right now. My spray tanner broke so I had to order a part for it. And I don’t do tanning beds anymore. Been done with those for many years..way too dangerous. I like my skin too much!
I am heading to a birthday party tonight. It doesn’t start until 10:00..shit that is late! (at least for me..lol) I think my friends and I will head out earlier for dinner and enjoy a cocktail BEFORE the party..that way I won’t get tired. I might have to enjoy a Red Bull or two! Woohooo! Treat night!

My meeting with my accountant went good yesterday. I have to say I am happy about that. And lunch was so yummy! I had jalapeno chicken wrapped in a tortilla with smoking hot salsa. It was a meal for two! Let’s just say my doggies liked it last night. lol! (minus the hot salsa)

Here is a silly photo from yesterday… standing next to the monster statue…he is not very attractive, is he? Kind of scary! ha! And why is he trying to lick my hat? hehe!
Have an awesome weekend..go have some fun!!

Stay out of the fire pit…

Good morning and happy Thursday to you all! Woohoo..the weekend is coming fast!!!!! Which is always a good thing~
I made my new stir fry recipe last night for dinner…and I have to say “YUM!!!!!!!” I skipped the rice because I don’t need the extra carbs..even though I love brown rice. I have to be good! I swear I gain weight just by looking at carbs. ~ugh, unlucky me~ I wish I was one of those girls that could eat whatever I want and not gain any weight. Bummer! I have to work out and watch everything I eat. Kind of sucks really. As long as I can have my cheat days..pizza and Mexican food once in awhile I can’t complain. Any ways..the meal was super delicious..next time I would probably cut back on the garlic. My house smelled amazing, but WOW, I didn’t. LOL! Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love garlic, but I could smell it all night. Grooooossss!

Last night I made a vodka/tonic. It has been a long time since I have had one of those. Once again I am trying to stay away from Red Bull..all that caffeine. I will only drink that when I go out. It will be a special treat that way. I added a lot of fresh squeezed lemons and limes to my drink and it was really refreshing. A good drink for the summer. It tasted like 7-up. I sat out by the fire pit and enjoyed good chit-chat time with Buzz. I recently added a fire pit to my courtyard and my dogs are not quite sure what to think of it. One of my crazy dogs…(see pic)..Caesar sits inside the pit. Of course when it is off…YIKES! They are all very curious and all afraid of the fire. (good thing) It is very peaceful and relaxing..very mesmerizing to watch it. 🙂

Today I have a big work day. I am meeting with my CPA this afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner. We are going over my personal taxes so I can get them sent. My business taxes are long gone..but now I need to get my personal ones done too. I have procrastinated bad this year. It will be nice to get them out of the way for another year! 🙂

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday! ENJOY!

~Obsessed With Animal Print~ LOL

Hey Hey..good morning all you awesome people! I feel soooo good today. I have slept really really great the past few nights …loving that. People are struggling with some bad allergies here lately..and I am lucky so far. This is the time of the year they usually kick my ass..so far/so good!! 🙂
I surfed around last night on my laptop while watching bad TV…I found some new yummy healthy recipes that I want to try. I am making some beef broccoli stir fry tonight. I can’t believe I would ever enjoy cooking! Wow..things really do change! 🙂

I am going to be making some new and exciting changes to my site SOON so I have been going through everything…it seems like I wear a lot of animal print. LOL!  Kind of funny..shoes, hats, clothes…I am drawn to them. haha And these are only I few that I found. I am trying to add more color into my life..hehe, I really am!!

I am leaving this afternoon for my hair appointment that is loooong overdue. Yikes, nasty dark roots. Ugh! I need to schedule some girly girl time for myself. I need my nails done and also a pedicure..i was even thinking a facial. Noooo perverts, not that kind of facial. lol! Although I do enjoy those as well. *wink* Have an awesome day..I am off to work.

A healthy… well balanced diet

Good morning! Wow..what a gorgeous day!!! Not a cloud in the sky! 🙂 A good day to get out of the house!! And that is exactly what I need to do. I am off to the gym and then probably do a little shopping. I am still searching for that perfect patio set. I need two couches and two chairs..shouldn’t be that hard to find..but it is. Oh well..I will never complain about shopping!!

I have been trying to eat as healthy as I can lately…actually started in 08 as being my new years resolution. I am doing good… but I have a hard time eating fruits. I just don’t like them! I love love love veggies!! I am doing good with protein too, but fruit is hard for me to swallow. As you see I am trying to be more creative and add fruits to my meals. This salad is so yummy too! It is good with oranges as well. I am having some oatmeal with bananas and blueberries right now. Good stuff! I have been grocery shopping at one of the health food stores and I am finding some good stuff! Only thing is the food is so much more expensive. Why does it have to be more money to be healthy? Just the way it is …I suppose! I bought some salsa the other day and WOW it is delicious. One of my favorite foods EVER! It is made fresh every morning..and it is made with green tomatoes. It is really sweet and spicy too! Gosh..you think I am hungry today or what? ha! Ever have mornings like that? Where you wake up starving?? Now that I don’t drink coffee I get hungry pretty early..which I know eating breakfast is a good thing 🙂

Well I will stop my babbling session now..hehe! I hope you all have a great Tuesday!!!! ENJOY!
Kisses,
