spaghetti w/o pasta?

      

Thanks to my personal trainer Heidi Ormsby, I now have a new favorite dinner!

We were working out and of coarse talking about food...(not a big surprise knowing me). Any way 

I brought up the fact that I was getting sick of the same old veggies and nuts that go along with this detox I'm on. She told me to try making spaghetti but sub the noodles with organic veggies. Being a huge fan of carbs, pasta being in my top 3 (next to pizza and bread) I thought it would be yet another dinner ending up in my dogs dish. I was very happy to be wrong, the veggies and sauce were so good!

today

When you're tired from working out,

When your a little grumpy from the detox your doing,

When you step on something while babysitting and realize its baby poop,

When the little ones reek havoc while your baby sitting,

When you try to make a new recipe and it ends up in the dogs dish,

When you want some company but the only one living with you is up in there room arguing over the phone.

You could say it's not the best day...

so heres to sleep and tomorrow because they couldn't come quicker

-also I have to give a big thanks to my mom because without her I don't really know where my sanity would be. She always knows what to say and lets me vent to her till both our ears hurt

remember when

With my ipod on the verge of dying any day now, and no money to replace it the thought of losing all those years of accumulated music! And the lack of an iphone in this "apple world" we live in makes the group text  my friends and I have going a little difficult. I know I'm still young, but I'm going to pull an older person move and say,

remember when... 

- instead of ipods we had walk-mens 

- instead of cell phones we ran over and knocked on peoples doors

- instead of GPS we had a co-pilot holding out a map

Love These Guys

Ok, so I was going through some videos on my computer and  I came across this one of 

Me, Brit, Kim, and Kait singing a christmas song! I couldn't resist putting it up, 

because it makes me laugh so hard every time I watch it! 

I know what you guys are thinking. It wasn't as funny as I made it out to be but I love 

these girls so much and we have the best times together... and ok maybe we're a little weird

 (or a lot of weird)! But normal people don't nearly have as much fun! :) 

New For the New Year

So I don't really know what I'm blogging about today... I kinda just wanted to update it from Christmas!

I finally made my new years resolutions, just yesterday! I know, I'm a little late this year.

But It felt nice to be able to actually take time and think about what I wanted accomplished this year

and to make them realistic for myself. Because I especially don't want this year to be one of those where

I write down my resolutions and then come February 1st or even March 1st and they're just

another page in my journal.

So heres to NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS that will stick :)

This is just a taste of what I'd like to accomplish for 2012 and hopefully they

will become habits for the years to come!

the christmas countdown begins!

  Every year me, kaitlyn van hoff, brittan tehan, and kim mott (my best friends in the whole world) make a christmas countdown list of fun holiday things to do! But this year is going to be extra special, crazy, fun, madness because after the holidays we're all going our separate ways for the first time since we were all like 5 years old! It makes me sad to think about but at least we still have the holidays together!! :) can't wait you guys!
