Oh My Goodness

I have just made the most wonderful thing...Praline Sweet Potatoes. They are sooo good. Imagine sweet potaotes, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, pecans, LOTS of butter and more brown sugar. YUM YUM.
This is definately NOT part of my diet, but judging by how eating heavy food like that made me feel, I will not be doing that again...until next week!!
Ya'll don't know what you are missing.

The Chicken Dance Featuring Lainee-Bug!

If you are watching this video, you have to promise that You will NEVER mention this to Maclaine as she will surely kill me!

Sorry, I am computer illiterate and don't know how to make the video turn right side up! Oh Well:)

A typical day

My budding photographer (Maclaine) has captured the way Len and I feel after most days!

A must see

I have a favorite movie that I am highly recommending you not only watch, but buy and watch many times! It is based on the American Girl Doll series and is Kit Kittredge. Whoa, it is so scary how the times that the movie was set in (depression era) are so closely looking like what we face in America now.
I loved this movie because it has not one bad word in it, no offensive behaviors to corrupt my precious little ones, and such a great lesson.
You might cry, or at least I did!

6 Random things about me

I have been terrible wqith blogging lately and I just saw that I was tagged to do this several weeks ago! Sorry, Kelli. I just don't think we have had anything exciting going on lately.

So, here is my post including 6 things about ME!

1. I am very superstitious and always have certain rituals I follow. For example, I always put my left earring in before I put my right one in. I always put on my right shoe before my left. I always start out sleeping on my right side in bed everynight even if it is only for a minute before I can turn over to another position. Wierd, I know!

2. I am becoming a runner. I run 1.5 miles every day and love how my body has changed because of that. I also eat very healthy now and have lost almost 25 pounds in less than 12 weeks!!! I am now a size 2 and 4 depending on how things run:)

3. I have been in the medical field ever since I was in the 7th or 8th grade. I started out as a candystriper in the hospital. I have been a nurse over 10 years now, which makes me feel very old and very sad to see how medicine is changing.

4. I have not traveled much at all. I have never been anywhere exotic or overseas. I really haven't ever been too far from Tennessee. I do hope that I can go to Cabo one day before I die. As for Europe, I could care less.

5. My dream car is a volvo. I know it is such a suburban mommy thing! I love the old boxy ones, too! Right now, I would settle for any new car though!

6. I am (or used to be) awesome at water sports. I could barefoot, slalom, trick and jump ski! I am so proud that that is the one thing I can do better than my sweet hubby:) My dream job would be to own a ski school and be out on the lake everyday in my swimsuit on my Mastercraft! For those of you who don't know, a Mastercraft is a competition ski boat that is equivalent to a Harley!

I cannot think of anything else! So...Ashley, Amy, Sara, and anyone else who reads this...Your'e it!
