Haricots dans Mon Chili

I feel like I’ve been hit by a MAC truck. It wasn’t from hours of burning it up at the gym or logging miles on the treadz. I wish. It was from my weekend, it kicked my butt. I have NO moderation, I do everything in waves. No…tsunamis. I work up the other morning and decided that I hated this wall:


Seven years I’ve been looking at this DIY disaster and I’m sooooo over it. Seriously, when you watch HGTV and you see a project that you think “Oh, I can so totally do that and it would look AWH-Some.” The next question you should ask yourself is how long is it going o take to get rid of it. Holy hell. 13, yes THIRTEEN hours later I had this crap off the walls.

In that same magnificent brainstorm I decided we have not been using our house efficiently. We have a spare bed room and I decided that it should be converted into a family closet. This is the best thing I have EVER done to my house. Its right next to the laundry room, awesome- now clothes can pile up for days in laundry baskets and be easily hidden with a closed door. Kidding, maybe. By doing this I created a windstorm of closet cleaning out and conversion, I think my husband thought about killing me under piles of clothes several times this weekend. But thank God he didn’t, I wouldn’t want any future new wife to enjoy my fabulous closet.

I enjoyed a shrimp boil this weekend. Actually we have done this about three times in the past two weeks. I bet my cholesterol is through the roof, but man was it good!



Do you see you see those fabulous blue babies in that fruit salad? Picked them myself! On Wednesday, little bit and I went and picked fresh organic blueberries. I probably lost 2 lbs in water weight, but hey it was worth it. Living on the face of the sun sucks. What sucked is that I was able to get about 2.5lbs before my child melted and by that evening I had about um, 0.5lb left. Looks like I’ll be heading back soon.


I sort of worked out this week; I did a wii, floor, ab workout 2x this week. It included 30 minutes of hula hooping while holding 10lb weights, 200 crunches and 4 sets of different plank holding poses. It hurt so bad and felt so good.
I’m totally holding to the fact that even though I didn’t track points or workout this weekend, that I totally burned 2000 calories by sweat and exertion alone, that’s my story.
