Getting Healthy

Where have I been? The last two weeks, I have been focusing on getting healthy. My track record is not very good so I am quite hesitant to even discuss this on my blog. Anyways, I have been keeping a food journal and using my old Weight Watcher's books and have been walking 2 miles/day. Have tried 4 miles for 2 days, but it was way tooo much for me to start out with. I did not do the weigh/measure b4, but have seen improvements (yeah).

So, here's to another week of improving my health.

Have a great week!

Friendship

When I saw this 'kite' stamp set from SU, I knew I had to have it. There are things in our life that reminds us of certain things...be it friendship, loved ones, etc. Well, this card that I made is going to a special friend of mine. We worked together at Temple for many years and every March she would decorate her door with kites that the 3 year olds would color. Of course, it had to have a title:) My friend is very quick-witted and wanted to say, "Go, fly a kite"! Well, she just couldn't put that up there...hence my card to her:)

I sure do miss you, Ruthie! We def. have to get together and maybe 'fly a kite'!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a gorgeous day:)

Brownie Roll-Ups

It's been a great Saturday! Cleaned this a.m., then went to a jewelry party with Emily, picked up Chinese for supper and made some Brownie Roll-ups for dessert for tomorrow.

Meghan and her family will be coming over after church tomorrow. We are so excited to see everyone. I try to make a special dessert for the gr-kids and found these super neat idea to make brownies into roll-ups using marshmallow creme (or peanut butter or nutella). I have left some in the pan so the gr-kids can make their own...they love doing stuff like that!

Tomatoe Soup and its not even Wednesday!

While I was growing up, every Wednesday we had grilled cheese and tomatoe soup! Never gave it a thought, just ate what was in front of me.

Fast forward to a history of 31 + years of married life and living in this world, I have found that EVERY Wednesday it is grilled cheese & tomatoe soup day--somewhere! While I worked at TCS, on Wednesdays guess what they served...you're right....gc & ts (LOL)

Most people would not think this is that big of a deal, but I've been told that I am not like most people:) I know for a fact that I NEVER fixed my girls gc & ts together let alone on Wednesday (HA)

My mom truly believed she scarred me for life...which of course all this talk about gc & ts is and will remain a family joke.

SO, hubby and I are having home-made Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup for supper but no gc:) Now, why would I be serving this, you might ask. Well, there is a new addiction in my life called 'pinterest' and this recipe looked 'heavenly' so I just had to try it!

My mom would be proud of me for having the ts tonight!

Have a great Friday night!
