If you are lucky enough to have had a good childhood, you most likely can name everything you loved as a child, and every toy like you still owned them. I loved Barbie's and Cabbage Patch Dolls. One of my favorite Christmas gifts of all time was a Barbie mansion that had four floors and and a moving elevator and a pink car to take my Barbies where ever they wanted to go. And then there are favorite movies and cartoons. I really enjoyed fantasy style movies (Labyrinth, Never Ending Story, E.T., etc.). My most favorite cartoon as a child was The Last Unicorn. I remember watching it so much my mom had to get a new VHS because I wore it out! So I'm at the store the other day and I'm at the checkout. The store always has so much stuff sitting there staring you in the face so that you will buy it because you've been standing in line too long. There it was. This movie I loved as a child. I picked it up, held it, looked it over and told myself I didn't need it. So I stepped back into line and looked over at it again and realized it was only $5. Needless to say it came home with me and I can't wait to watch it over and over!
Yesterday afternoon Jon(husband) and I went on a lovely drive in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It's probably a couple weeks early, but I wanted to see all of the beautiful trees change colors since the window for this is so short. Hopefully I can twist his arm to go in a couple weeks and take a better camera as well.
I love love love Fall! I'm lucky enough to live near mountains and canyons that beautifully display bright and colorful changing leaves. It doesn't last very long, so I need to talk the hubby into taking me for a drive ASAP! Still dealing with a head-cold that can't take the hint that I want it gone. I woke-up at 5am today because I couldn't breath and I was starving. I wanted chocolate Dunford Donuts but settled for 1/4 of a bag of Terra Sweets and Beets. I don't know why I love these so much, but it's like candy to me! I've also started pulling out my favorite fall recipes and have an endless list of things I want to try from Pinterest. Soups are probably my favorite thing to make because they take little effort and go along way.
What do you get when you have a husband that travels on air planes and sits in recycled air? A sick husband. I've been nursing him back to health the last few days and last night during my workout I was not feeling my best. I was really hoping it was just allergies, but this virus has hit me fast and hard and I'm not happy! :-S Does it prolong your sick days if you still workout? I'm willing to compromise and bring the intensity waaaay down and stroll on the treadmill or something. I could use this opportunity to get current on Drop Dead Diva or Glee. And I'm sad that eating a salad or any veggies doesn't sound good right now. All I want is grilled cheese sandwiches and soup (and chocolate mousse with whipped cream and ice cream). Here's to hoping this bug I have is short lived.
I set up this blog about a year ago and went no where with it. :~/ Possibly stage fright, but mostly it's really not knowing how to start it. Why is it so scary, lol?! I have a gazillion interests and things I want to share, so I just need to organize my brain and get this party started! I'm currently getting acquainted with some ways to water mark my pictures. From other blogs I have followed, a few recommend iPiccy.com. You don't have to download any programs, don't have to give your info and it's FREE! I have found over the last couple of years people on Facebook and Pinterest either taking credit for my stuff or just freely post things and don't give credit. O'well I guess.
