1. Made a lovely dinner of chicken stir fry! At a whopping 1g of fat and 260 calories for a crazy large portion, I am in love with my new cookbook! Thanks Mormor.
2. 10 loads of laundry and killer calf muscles after dozens of trips up and down three sets of steps. Must make a mental note to start laundry before we actually run out of clothes next time:)
3. 1 hour of grueling exercise at the Nat.
4. 1 hour of continuous fetch with three frisky Labradors.
5. A giant garbage bag containing 6 months of unwanted materials left in my car. It is a relief to see the floor again. I forgot what it looked like.
6. TWO loads of fresh dishes that up until this afternoon were loitering in my sink. Yes, until today our house looked like the aftermath of some natural disaster.
7. I FINALLY mailed my mom's Mother's Day card. It is just ridiculous that I haven't gotten it out in the mail until now, but I literally can't remember the last time I bought a stamp. Don't worry Mom already got her present (a very large bottle of Euphoria) on mama's day!
8. I went online and bought myself a little present today too! I big, purple bottle of Vera Wang Princess. Yeah for me!!! A girl has to smell good and I LOVE perfume. (hint, hint Justin)
9. I went in and deleted my email inbox. For pete's sake, who are all these people and how do they know I want to earn 5K a month working from home! HAHA! There must have been a thousand offers for free giftcards to Target, Pizza Hut and Starbucks. Good grief. I started out scanning subject lines for valuable content, but grew frustrated after 5 pages of scams. If you have sent me any emails within the month that were important, chances are they were deleted today. Sorry.
10. Lastly, it is clean sheet day. Do you have a celebration in your house on clean sheet day? We do! There is no smell on earth that compares to fresh, cool sheets in my personal opinion. This might sound demented to you, but if you woke up every morning with one fat cat and three slobbing retrievers you might understand!

Monday, Memorial Day, and The 2 Month Mark
1. Happy Memorial Day to all! I do love a paid holiday from work.
2. I'm happy to report a 22lb loss from my dieting/workout regime. I went and bought new workout clothes and a new pair of jeans today. I was practically beaming when I realized a needed pants TWO sizes smaller. YEAH!!!!
3. Justin's new job at the First Merit tower is working out great! We are however looking forward to a day when he isn't working all three shifts during the week.
4. I am having to relearn every recipe I ever made, which is turning out to be harder than expected. You would be surprised to see how many unnecessary calories can be avoided by making small changes to everyday cooking. I will post some updated recipes in the future for lighter, healthier fare. Marie, I have been messing with that recipe you made for Christmas breakfast and I think you will like the changes I have made.
5. Lastly, I would like to say Happy Two-Month Birthday to my nephew Charlie. I've been slacking lately, so I don't have any up-to-date photos of him. He is absolutely adorable and looking more like his daddy everyday. I have it on good authority that he is a good sleeper and adores his big sister Lily. I rarely hold babies, so I got a big surprise when I scooped him up after his dinner and patted his back! He's so darn cute I didn't even remember it happened until Justin pointed in out later at Target:) Here's a few photos of day one with Charlie Boy. Hopefully, I'll get some new pics when my new Digital Rebel XSI shows up next week!
Big Yawn For A Big Day!
I absolutely adore this photo of Charlie and Marie. Have you ever seen two people look more content?
