A Lazy Bone Dirty Give Away
3 Months In
I cannot believe I haven't blogged since October.
It could be the fact that I haven't been up to much.
For the first 2 months of the 2010,
I have been writing down all the things I would like to accomplish this year.
The whole list consisted of "Cut back on this"... "Do this not that"
So basically... I need to find my will power
I think I haven't see it since 2002.
I haven't seen my flat stomach just as long.
So I decided in the month of March,
I would go a whole month w/out any type of carbinated beverage.
If you knew how many sodas I drank...
No strike that!
How many LITERS of soda I drank a day you'd understand!
(I drank at least 4 liters a day)
But it has been 28 days soda free & I have survived
I bet when I do drink a soda on April 1st my teeth will be tingling.
Next month I am thinking about going a whole month without fast food.
I think I can do it!
Not only am I getting stronger mentally,
I have lost 7 lbs in the process.
Well I did do something.
I bought a soul

The Candy Enthusiast
I have been fallowing Sera the Candy Enthusiast for a few weeks now and I can honestly say she has changed how I consume these small morsels of goodness. Check out her site , www.thecandyenthusiast.com. I just love how she articulates for her taste buds. You can feel the passion she has for candy. That is what brings me back to her blog weekly.
And to make things even more interesting, she photographs the candy inside & out AND she has these cute little cartoons that she draws herself to illustrate her review.

Give Me Cookies... Or Leave Me The Hell Alone
So over the weekend I had a craving for chili (cole)saw dogs & chocolate chip & walnut cookies. I am very happy to say that I made both. I am thoroughly satisfied!My cookies weren't near as good as Liz's but I hey this was my first try at chocolate cookies from scratch. I think I did a darn good job. Munch think I did just fine. I saw her swipe a cookie that was cooling on the rack. (laughs)
I found the cookie recipe on www.bakerella.com. They have cute & edible ideas such as Pumpkin Pie Bites.

Linda & I have both decided that we'll go all out for this holiday. We'll be bouncing ideas off of each other. I am kind of excited. I am getting my usual holiday angst though. I never know what I want to make, decorate, bake, buy... The list goes on. I hope this year will be easier.

Test Run
For the life of me I cannot find a printer in Bay County, Florida that does not require me to place a minimum order of 100 postcards per design. I only need about 25 postcards per design, which I anticipate having 5 to 6 designs. That is 125 cards. I would think they would try to work with me. I may not be approaching it correctly (shrugs) Anyhoo!
My sister Elizabeth requested 20 postcards for her "October Pink" collection and I reluctantly accepted. I only say reluctantly because I did not have a place to print them. I guess I just needed a little encouragement. Now I am kind of excited. Strike that. I AM excited. I'm thinking of a ... Well I don't want to say because I want her to be surprised. All I can say is that I have found an online company that prints postcards at a fairly reasonable price. I have sent in one of my older postcards to be printed as a test run. (crosses fingers) We'll see how it turns out. I will be sending her some and then giving the rest to Krys to sell.
Now I'm thinking beach theme, cafe theme (ode to Liz)... Halloween... Oh the possibilities! But let me slow my role because I may get too enthusiastic too soon then I will turn out to hate it and ditch it like everything else in my life.
