Bowling Queen

I purchased a pair of not-so-cute bowling shoes. $5. This sounded expensive to me, but they are almost fabulous not to mention shoe rentals are $3! A bit more snug than I would prefer, but I won't be running a marathon, so I can deal with the curling of my toes in these not-so-sporty shoes. The guy that I purchased them from was asking $10 for the bag, ball, shoes and a dirty pair of old socks tucked in the corner of the bag... I offered $5 for just the shoes and he accepted! I'm considering joining a bowling league or something ridiculous. haha. jokey-joke about that! Anyways, We are purchasing this coupon book that schools sell and it has coupons for free bowling games in it, just sayin' what a great date night! Now, if only I could find some bowling shoes for Roberto...

P90X - Take 2!

So we are attempting the P90X thing...again. Yes we were failures for a minute there, but we are back in the game and that is all that really matters. So maybe we were lazy for 5-weeks, not getting any more exercise than an occasional evening walk BUT all of that is in the past now. We are dedicated and motivated...again...
I am so sore that it is almost unbearable to take a single step and we will not get into switching positions from sitting to standing and walking up and down stairs... I remember many moons ago when we first started (before failing miserably) I went through this same torture and for some irrational reasoning I thought taking a break wouldn't be so terrible, WRONG! as usual :(
On a more optimistic note, Robert has stuck to his diet and lost a little over 20 pounds! Go Robert! And now combing diet and exercise...consistently, he is going to have awesome results =D. Oh, did I mention we converted our fellow Lamb folk to the routine...that's right, the four of us are sweatin' it out together!

I am grateful for...

Do you ever have those days where you just look around and think about how blessed you are? Well, I have been having a lot of those days/moments lately. These are some of the things I have to be grateful for today...

ROBERT, especially since he shaved the summer scruff
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Having the opportunity to work with the YOUTH at Church
My job
Robert's job
Our families
our comfy little house we call home
My kitty...and the barking dogs
modern medical technology
Cable Television (Jersey Shore)

Sometimes it seems that trials come relentlessly our way, but when I take a short moment to reflect, I realize that I have more than my share of blessings and I am so grateful for them.

Baby Quilt for Baby Niece

This is my first quilt

I made this for Lisa & Brian's baby girl that is due in August...

I am satisfied with the outcome,

but will definately allow myself more time to finish such a project in the future.

I got the fabric from Jo~Ann's, they have sooo many cute patterns to choose from.

Don't Worry, Be Happy!
