Twice in one DAY?

Who am I?  I never blog twice in one week, let alone twice in one day!  

I'm thinking all this blogging will keep Vicki busy while she's off on maternity leave next week!

Anyhow, nothing really to say today.  Just reporting my cals in/cals out:

Cals in: 1447 total

Cals out: 1950

Deficit of 500.  Keep it up and I can lose 1 lb by next week!

Hi Friends,

And a happy, murky Wednesday to you!  Lucy and I decided to wake up at the bright and early hour of 5:30 this morning, so here I sit pondering life while watching Channel 4 weather.....

What does one ponder at 5:30 in the morning?  Good question, here goes.....

1) "What do I need to do to simplify my life?"

I'm fairly certain this is a rhetorical question.  Do I say "no" more often?  Do I cut out more activities?  I don't know.  It seems when I cut something, I always find something else to take it's place!  I'm already stressing about all the things we have going on in the month of May......and we're not even there yet!  I may have to "bow out" of an activity or two.  It's just too overwhelming.

2) "What do I want to DO with the rest of my life?"

(At this point, I don't have any answers here!)

3) I need to re-do some things around my house.  But then that is a complete contradiction to #1.  Unless I hire some stuff out.  Which I am definitely OK with!  

What do YOU do to simplify your life?  Leave an answer in my comments section, and I have a prize for one lucky reader!  

A is for.....

This week's blog will feature some cool things that start with the letter "A"!  (see, informative, fun, and NOT about me!)  

I have 3 things to share with you that are "A" mazing!

1) Addicted to CostCo:

In the spirit of blog revival, I turn you to one of my favorite blogs.  Now, I can't take the credit for finding this....thanks to Liz for turning me onto this blog.  What could be better than CostCo you might ask?  A website devoted to telling you ALL THE GREAT THINGS CostCo has to offer!  

Click here to see what I'm talking about.  You'll love it!

2) Amazing Concealer

You can buy it here: Sephora

It is not a dramatic name.  It truly is amazing!  I had put this little gem away for awhile----I don't know why!  But man, it is some good stuff.  I highly recommend it!  Great for under eye circles.....

3) How about a yummy recipe???  This is a great, spring-like recipe that gets rave reviews!  Would even be nice for an Easter appetizer.  Hope you enjoy!

Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Pitas:

Enjoy.  Have a Happy Easter everyone.  I'll be back next week with the "B" installment.  I'm off to watch the Masters, take a nap, and have dinner with some girlfriends! 

Blogging

So here I am, trying to decide if I should continue to blog.  Several of you have requested more blogging activity.  I'm still sorting out what the HELL I have to say that would be of interest to anyone.  But maybe my neuroses make you feel better about yourselves, who knows!?!?!

Anyhow, here is the issue with which I struggle.....

Blogs seem so, well, self-absorbed!  I mean, you literally talk about yourself and/or what is going on in your life.  I KNOW my life isn't that exciting.  But, if I could structure it so you might LEARN something now and again, it might be somewhat interesting, huh?

So, look for a new post a week from me.  I've decided to structure it in alphabetical sequence, covering any topic that fits the letter of the week.  This week, the letter is "A".  (seems like a logical place to start, wouldn't you say?)

Please leave comments!  I love to hear from the 1-2 of you that read my blog!  :)  

Off to start this week's entry.  Happy Monday.
