2 ingredient cookies
I literally just finished making these because I had some banana's going bad but didn't have everything on hand for banana bread. Simply 2 smashed over-ripe bananas to 1 cup of quick oatmeal. I used honey nut oatmeal because that's what was in my pantry. You will want to be your own judge on the consistency, as long as…

It's the last few days of 2012...

Companies taking the fun out of Black Friday
Just felt like ranting a bit this morning. There are many stores opening their doors to Black Friday sales TONIGHT at 8pm. What happened to the days of getting your friends together, grabbing a 4am coffee, and waiting for the stores to open at 5am? That's when it was fun, but the greedy companies decide "hey let's try to…

I just did something a little crazy
So, I was surfing on craigslist and found a person selling the entire classic pooh crib set, with mobile, lamp, and nightlight for $10! My husband and I have agreed from the start that this is what our nursery will be. So I e-mailed the person and said I want to buy it for a friend :laugh: I hope I get it. We have been…

Ego Boost NSV
Long story short. I met a friend of a friend last night who is on my FB friend's list. He's the only person on my friend list I had never met in person. So i was talking to him and he remembered me from some FB posts and such and he says "Oh yeah! You're the cute one!" I don't get that much so it pretty much made my night…

I love that fast food makes me sick now
Haha, just a random thought I had. Fast food used to be a big problem for me. Before I moved back into the country I ate a lot of it, because it was right down the road and it was cheap. Now it's farther away so I eat home much more. I was still craving it and finally caved last week, but it made me feel so gross and…

Help! My first 5k
I am reaching out for help to prepare for my first 5k run. I have never been in any type of run (and I have never ran a mile even!). But many people have told me that setting a goal of running a 5k is a great way to get in shape, and the 5k is the day after my birthday (its on the 4th of july) so if I complete it, then it…

Why are so many after pics blonde?
Just a trend I've noticed. There are tons of before/after pics where the before pics, the people have dark hair and then the after pics, they've gone blonde. Why does everyone feel the need to lighten their hair when they lose weight? I'm not trying to criticize, I am honestly curious.

Strange NSV (Possibly TMI)
Just wanted to share an NSV I had last night. When my husband and I moved in together (when we were dating) I would sleep in just a shirt and underwear. As I gained weight, I felt uncomfortable and starting wearing cloth pants to bed. My husband has always told me he loves when I sleep in just a shirt and underwear because…

What should I do with my mom?
My mom is on vacation from work this week so she asked if she could tag-along on my and my husbands day off this wednesday. I just don't know what to do with her... The weather is going to be around 70 but with periods of rain. She's not a very active person so she wouldn't be up for a hike (like what we usually do on our…

First try at spaghetti squash
I finally tried spaghetti squash. Aside from the fact I under cooked it a little, it's pretty darn good! After I cooked it, I did a quick sautee with garlic, parmesan cheese, italian, seasoning, salt, pepper, and olive oil. My Uncle, who's a picky eater, even liked it! We're having pasta and sauce tonight, but he's…

What kind of vitamins do you take?
I know a lot of people on here take daily vitamins. I was wondering what kinds and did your doctor tell you to start taking them, or did you just start taking them on your own? I don't take any vitamins right now, but I'm wondering if I should talk to my doctor and see if I should be taking them.
