Praying for Alabama and The World

As you may have noticed or not noticed. In which, unless you live in a hole somewhere and never leave that hole. The weather across not only our south east area but across the world is getting dangerous and scary. From Japan- Tsunamies & earthquakes to Tornadoes all over the South and Midwest, Floods and forest fires in Texas and California. Seems that Mother Nature is taking us for a crazy ride.

I will admit that crazy weather terriefies me to no end. I believe since I cannot predict nor control what is happening makes it worse for me to handle. But I know what I can do is send good thoughts and prayers to those who are being affected by these storms and hope that it will end soon.

I would like to encourage everyone to please go to a local shelter, recovery center or if not possible donate to the American Red Cross.  Even if you can donate a $1.00 it is better than nothing. It is times like these that we must come together, give a helping hand and we will make it through.

To Me You Are Perfect- Love Actually

It is that day of year where we tell eachother how much we love eachother and appreciate eachother.
One of my favorite movies is Love Actually, the opening statement is exactly what I think about each day.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day and always remember that Love truly is all around.

“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.”

Thursday"s Treats

A little bit of this and a little bit of that

Happy Wednesday Lovies!



I don't have a whole one topic blog post to share with you today. Just have some little things that I am thinking about right now.

Food Journaling--

I have begun a food journal. Writing down what I eat, drink, taste, lick etc.. It truly keeps me on track. I look at it mid day and see where I need to up my fruit or veggie in take, calcium, protein. This week has been pretty good. But it is only week one, we shall see how long I can keep this up.


The Royal Wedding-

I am completely obessed with the Royal Wedding taking place this April. I will have to have my friend over at Pink Julep Abroad

To send me some memorabilia from this event. I just love weddings and anything Royal. So, this is a win win for me.

Look at the official wedding China that was designed-- Gorgeous!

Zumba-

Taking it up beginning next Monday. I am an avid spinner ( aka. Spin class lover) but I need some spice. I love to dance! When you can dance and can burn up to 800 calories in a 45 min. class. Sign me up! :)

Okay loves, what is your "this and that" for today? What is on your mind?



Have a Fabulous Wednesday!

Superbowl Ads and Congrats Packers!

As tradition in America, everyone on a Sunday night once a year we all gather around eat fabulous food and watch the infamous Super Bowl. Some watch for the game, others for the ads and half time performance.

Here's the deal, the game was fantastic! Great win for the Packers! I was rooting for them since I am a Pats fan. The Ad's were hmm... shall we say.. lackluster. I wasn't impressed. I was really bummed that none of these ad's blew me away. Only two were my favorites:

1. The Volkswagon Darth Vader Commercial
2. The Tibetan Commercial for Groupon

What really made me shake my head was the halftime show. Oh my word, seriously, who knew that the Black Eyed Peas were horrible live? Some people blame it on their equipment being terrible etc... I blame it on them. I would rather have them lipsynch the songs than sound horrible if the equipment is to blame. If that isn't the case, then wow, they really are bad singers. I say, give me my chorus and techno beats and we will call it even BEP. Deal?

What was your favorite Ad's? What were your low lights and highlights of this years Superbowl?

TGIF!

TGIF!

That's right all.. TGIF! It’s a cold and rainy Friday here in the Carolinas. But I am just happy that the weekend is almost here! Woo Hoo!

Things I love on this Friday morning:

Joining my friend's virtual book club-- Book End Bloggers

This month's book- Ape House, by Sara Gruen

Cranberry Green Tea- I buy the Trader Joes brand and love it!

Perfect cup for a cold rainy day.

Finally, looking like a hot mess and still having my friends appreciate my humor and my self as a person :) There is nothing better than that! Some even say I can be in a garage band, sadly, not a bad idea. Ha-ha.


Wishing everyone a warm and dry Friday!
