So...this is what I've been up to Lately...

Well, I haven't been exercising. That's for sure. Also, my hubby and I have been on the road a lot so we have been eating a ton of fast food lately. (Gag me---I get so tired of fried food so quickly!!!) But, I am proud of myself because I made my meals for the rest of the week

tonight so we wouldn't have to eat out anymore this week! Take it one day at the time, right?

I have also been taking some time just to write and to think and to try to get my brain in order, thus I am excited to present this really fun 30 Day Journal Challenge that I'm well into by now. Go to my other blog to check out the pages I have completed so far!

Also, I bought some pretty yellow, blue, and green yarn this weekend and I am going to start making a little striped blanket for my nephew who we are expecting to come near the end of July. (Pics to come!)

Well, that is all for now...until I have something a little more interesting to post, I will leave you with this recipe that I made for a friend the other night...
