Look what i found!!

Finally I have found somethings that are worth talking about!! That were FREE or super cheap!! I don't tend to find good deals, all I find are broken tables at goodwill for like $200 or free dirt on craigslist! Im not super cool like my sister Peggy and her husband, who basically have people throwing free antiques or nice furniture at them (just a couple examples), nope I just get the rejects. But not today! I was driving home from a workout when I passed a super cute buffet/night stand/sofa table/console table (apparently I don't know what it is) sitting on the side of a house just a block away from mine. It said...

Well I have a good home! I immediately pulled over to try and cram it in my trunk when I realized that it was full of stuff for a upcoming yard sale! I rushed home, all of 1 block, threw everything outta my car and started to go back. As I pulled up to the stop sign on my street I saw a truck full of furniture drive by! Ive gotta tell you, anything that is posted for free in Rio Rancho is gone in like five minutes so I obviously wanted to cry right there because I was sure they took my little furniture piece..."STUPID YARD SALE" was all I could think. I decided to drive by just to make sure she was gone and there she was, in all her heavily used and dirty glory!

She definitely isn't perfect...

But she is MINE, and I beat out all the other furniture hoarders in RR to get her!

You want to see what makes her the best??

Yep, her sexy little casters!!

Ive got a screaming kid so I'll let you know tomorrow about my other amazing find!

PS Is it wierd that i gave this piece of furniture a gender?
PSS dont look at my gross floors!

little boys

I snapped some shots of the boys on Easter in their adorable outfits. Carter is getting so big and talks NONSTOP. He's not a little baby anymore, he is smart and getting bigger everyday. Every time I see him I practice with him on saying 'Peggy's my best friend'. haha I am sure one day he'll think I am that creepy aunt that he hates to see because I squeeze his cheeks and give wet kisses, but for now he loves me.

I made Carter this bow tie using the tutorial here

Jack is just so lovable, you can't help it. His adorable rolls, and chipmunk cheeks are precious. We fight over Jack, well unless he is hungry.. then there is no messing with him. He takes eating pretty serious as you might be able to tell.

pipin' hot

We got a new blog look! Do you like it? I do.

Have you ever done something really stupid and thought ‘wow I am such an idiot!’ Well I had one of those moments the other day and man did I feel silly, especially since my boss and a few clients were my audience.

glasses 'pre' melting

At work I get to teach cooking classes and as I was bending over to put some potatoes back into a 450 degree oven I felt my glasses slip from where they were tucked into my shirt. But when I looked down I didn’t see them anywhere so I shut the oven, stood up and thought ‘that’s strange where are my glasses?’ So I reopened the oven bent down and looked in and way way in the back at the very bottom where my glasses! And in my head I’m like ‘holy crap they are melting! What do I do??? What do I say?’ So I very quietly without trying to draw too much attention grab a long metal spoon and start trying to reach them. Mind you this oven is pipin' hot and my boss is looking at me like I am crazy. So I finally get them and my clients look over at me and say ‘I think they melted a little’ in which I say ‘oh that’s fine they will cool off’ and sheepishly walk out of the kitchen.

I felt really dumb and now get to wear glasses each day that are partly melted on the ends and around the rims! Lucky me.

sweets

Aren't these the sweetest faces? 

 

I sure do love being an aunt to such adorable kids!

Still have not stopped....failing that is.

So I couldn't do it. ("It" being the diet I embarked on on Feb 15). The first day I only lasted until that evening. I started out doing so good ... I even gave up these damn good "wa'toffles" (waffles and french toast combo) at a morning meeting. My mouth was watering all day, but I RESISTED. Then Jenny came over and brought me COOKIES. I had used up all of my self control and I ate 3 . Ahhh i'm such a disappointment to myself. The rest of the days went by in a similar fashion. So I've come to a conclusion. Either I need to stop complaining about being obese (body fat % is 37 = obese) because who feels sorry for the overweight girl who is sobbing about how she hates the way she looks, as she puts a cookie in her mouth. Or I need to actually do something about it. So I'm going to do both. I'm going to stop complaining about things that I make no effort in changing. And I am going to keep trying harder and harder to put good foods in my mouth and leave the delicious ones out, but I am not going to write about it. Maybe someday...and it would be nice if this "someday" wasn't too far away...like before summer.... I will get back on here and write a post about how successful I have been! Cross your fingers for me.

Oh...but there is one tiny little exception. I'll tell you what my resolution for the month is...very simply.... like in 1 sentence... or maybe two.

March: Complete 10 sprint workouts

BTW I hate sprinting.

Angie :)
