Finally sunny! Friday fill ins

And...here we go!
Play along Here

1. I use coconut oil to oil pull. Much like many other things that I don't believe should work but totally do (see reiki and acupuncture on that list - I definitely don't understand them but have watched both of them work in my own life) oil pulling works - with no other changes my teeth are less sensitive!
2. Oz the great and powerful is one of my favorite movies. of recent date I was amazed at how interested it kept me and how amazing the color was. I could not stop saying to my sister that the color was like color over saturated but still real
3. It's probably the first real nice day of spring and I am sitting on the front porch writing this while the poodle lays in the grass in front of me! It's lovely
4. I'm ALWAYS saying "well at the time it seemed like a good idea like when I volunteer for something months in advance and then day of I'm having huge panic attacks!
5. I said happy spring to the gentleman who just walked by and then he said it's about time! Is that a labradoodle?I told him no the poodle is just a poodle with a funny hair cut. Like most people that meet him he started patting him and then got down and gave him a good snuggle - the poodle is a born therapy dog.
6. boxing is what I'm craving right now! however my cut knuckles are probably glad that I have a week off
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging with the poodle, tomorrow my plans include my normal classes at the gym and then picking up my race packet and then cleaning a friends house with her and Sunday, I want to I have a race at 9:00 in the town next to where I live so I am sneaking in a 7:00-7:45 spin class and then rushing over to run a 5k, probably will lay low the rest of the day - maybe take the poodle for a walk!

what are your weekend plans?

It's Friday I'm awake way too early and that means I'm wordy!

Hello hello hello!
It's 2:30am and I'm awake again -- could someone please explain to my body how absolutely unacceptable that is?

How are you this Good Friday?

Lets play the Friday fill in game shall we?

1. If I could go anywhere on a road trip, I'd go to oooh road trips, I love me some road trips! I would love to go back to Chincoteague Virginia - that's a pretty sweet road trip. I am dying to take the poodle and the hubs to Arcadia national park (none of us have been). My dream vacation involves my two favorite men (the 2 above) and an rv and a coast to coast tour!<\b>
2. well there are LOTS of things but a simple straight answer for that is algebra is something I don't understand. I took it 7 years and never passed - it was so pathetic that my high school let me take algebra and a basic math (think addition and subtraction) my second senior year (yup you read it right) so at least I could graduate when I failed algebra
3. Easter makes me think of these days? Egg hunts and bunny ears (see poodle pic from last year). The hubs does a big hunt for adults (and a couple kids). As a child it reminds me of church and my sister's amazing voice (she used to sing sandy patty's was it a morning like this at church! I lived for it)
4. A hike in Harold Parker state forest with my faithful sidekick frolicking is the best way to relax!
5. It looks like Spring might be making an appearance sometime soon, I saw a cardinal yesterday - though I still haven't seen a robin.
6. green juice. is one of my favorite healthy snacks. ever since I got my juicer i am a juicing machine - try one with romaine, carrots, ginger, a pear and a green apple
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to spin and making a flower arrangement for a friend who is going through a tough time, tomorrow my plans include the normal saturday classes at the gym and then making sure baskets are ready and Sunday, I want to hang out with the in laws. I'm making them some beef stew I found on Pinterest - if it's any good I'll share the link. I also have to make an extra batch of cookies and a batch of muffins (they like their baskets to be homemade gifts) on Saturday!

Some other pretty cool (way more than PRETTY cool if you ask me) news that I have is Mr poodle man graduated from Dog B.O.N.E.S. and will be starting work as a therapy dog at new hospitals and nursing homes! I could NOT be more proud if little man!

Also I just learned about A cool concept for shoes with a kick starter campaign

And I think that finishes it for today!

what are you doing for Easter? Do you still get baskets from the bunny?

Good morning it's Friday

It's bright and early Friday morning! The impressive part is that I know it's Friday - I've spent most of the week a day behind.

As most Fridays I'm playing along with Friday fillins and you should too!


1. The wind blew wildly and made me worry that the house was going to fall over (this didn't happen this week but every time it's windy I worry).

2. running with a friend for her first race (there really is something so magical about your first race - totally admit I was teary for her) and a fabulous friend who has been supporting me during a rough few weeks (thanks Laura - the world is better for having you in it) made me feel warm and happy all over.

3. The smell of clear, clean, outdoor pine (similar to song of angels aka the best Yankee candle scent ever) makes me think of the day that I fell in "safety and trust" with the hubs (I loved him when I met him at 9 but this one day he took me up to Franconia notch I think we were 26 and after the gondola ride up the mountain we came to the patch of trees and the view and the scent and everything I just knew that we were meant for each other and he'd never intentionally hurt me). (Oh my gosh I love this one since I am so scent oriented)
4. When I am feeling lazy I nuggle the poodle.
5. Brilliant neon yellow is my favorite color.today - it'll probably change tomorrow I love all the colors
6. The door creaked and a friendcame in.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to spin and I need to make my friend (of the race) Pizza lentils , tomorrow my plans include my normal saturday morning classes at the gym and going to see oz with my sister. i also have to start stock piling vases from AC Moore because I'm doing the flowers for a may wedding and ironically it's cheaper to buy the vases there one at a time with the coupon of the week (ps did you know you can google it on your phone and just show it to them) than to buy them wholesale and Sunday, I want to get to the gym and then actually see that man I'm married to! He has plans tonight, he works Saturday morning/afternoon and is then going to see his niece in a play.

What are you up to this weekend?

Friday of the anniversary variety

Today is the hubs and I 10th anniversary

Janet has provided us with another week's question and fun. Play along?

1. They've said the hubs arm is doing pretty well. And that they're surprised at how well the healing is going YAY!
2. I quite enjoy going to the fitness studio, the hubs and I have talked about this - how they've (the owners) just made it into a place you want to be. They're welcoming smiles are a great way to start any workout
3. What is the purpose of algebra? I'm pretty sure I've never used it in life!.
4. I don't watch a lot of tv shows.

And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going with my niece to pick up her friend from the airport, tomorrow my plans include gym in the morning, then cleaning with a friend (she's going on vacation and I suggested we clean and get her house perfect so that she will come back to calmness rather than chaos and Sunday, I want to go to the gym in the morning and clean my own house and sort and organize my Christmas decorations and put them away and put up the winter décor!

what are you doing this weekend?
I love this picture of the poodle because I swear he (his eyes) are saying "dad you woke me up to take yet a another picture of me?"

Friday!

As always this is the fabulousness of Janet

This week, same as last year, I'm going to give you a choice of fill-ins OR a different kind of fill-in (or both). A friend emailed me a list where you have to identify Christmas songs by the initials of the first words of the first line of each song. If you'd like to play along, great! if you just want to do the regular Fill-Ins, that's perfectly fine, too! And...here we go!

1. Ahhhh I colored my hair and no longer have roots and 5 shades of color
2. I have been preparing Christmas cookie platters for all the neighbors
3. Creating a flower arrangement always makes me feel happy.
4. what's your favorite form of relaxation.
5. Kick start I totally don't get the kick start theory... Just start it now.
6. as far as the end of the world I'm still here, and if you're reading this you are too
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging in WITH THE HUBS and watching Christmas movies, tomorrow my plans include I have 3 classes at the gym and I want to deliver the cookies I've made and Sunday, I want to get in 2 classes and maybe a mani and facial (I'll give these to myself {I have a post working in this})

What are you doing this weekend?

Friday fill ins on a crafty weekend!

Always the gift of Janet

And...here we go!

1. Why is it that I'm frequently exhausted but I never can sleep.
2. how come fall seemed so short? (I really like the little house's autumn decorations - the witch is already gone with a wreath of dog bones in its place but I'm taking down the scarecrow and putting up bows and taking down the leaf garland on the fence and putting up bells) that's what I want to know!
3. Hold on to your hats! December is tomorrow
4. I have Pilates very soon.
5. Do you ever take Pilates? I'm fairly new to it and it AMAZES me how much my core hurts after 45 minutes
6. in order to really live, you need to laugh, give and get lots of love and work on yourself every day - if you don't love you how can any one else?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to duh - stay in (I have no life), tomorrow my plans include include a craft fair and my niece and i are talking about a craft night (inspired by Pinterest) and she needs to make christmas gifts (i already put in a request for the sweatshirt and pants here) and i am working on a going away present, and Sunday, I want to put up the tree, we are putting it in a different place this year and I hope I like it!

have you had a Pinterest craft night? And what are you doing this weekend?

Friday fill ins

As always this is the brain child of Janet at Friday fill-ins

1. One time, I met a cute little poodle, fell in love and made him my own (seriously how cute was he as a baby?)
2. making things for people (see what hubs and i are doing sunday) is something that makes me smile.
3. Seven words I love: assuming this just means the word and not the meaning (because I'm not sure I know all the meanings)
1.Prestidigitation - (thank you spellcheck for that) I love this word because it reminds me of my niece when she was a wee one (either 3 or 4) and we were at the Easter table and she piped up with "does everyone know what prestidigitation is? Because I do"
2.Life - because it was the first word another niece read (and she read it with me and I cried & decided that kindergarten teachers have the best jobs)
3.namaste - because simply saying it brings me to a calmness
4.poodle - because well poodles are smiles with 4 legs
5.juxtapose - I am not sure I know what this means (I think it means to flip but I'm not sure) but I like the sound of it!
6.flip flop - this one came to me as I wrote flip up above. I like it because its either the shoes OR the description
7.fathom - I can't FATHOM why I like this word but I do

4. we had our first snow; the poodle was thrilled me? Notsomuch.
5. I looked out the window today and saw I'm answering for yesterday since its 1:30 am (thanks insomnia) snow on the ground and rain coming down and I realized spray painting cans would be difficult or impossible
6. my legs feel like jelly from my workout today (I took spin, tabata and yoga) and that's saying something! because I rarely have after workout fatigue (which always makes me think I don't work hard enough)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to an early night in (do I EVER do anything on Friday nights?), tomorrow my plans include I have a trx class at 6:45, then hubs and i are headed to his first EVER race (and my first obstacle race) Click here to see I'm hella scared and in the afternoon i am picking someone up at the airport! and Sunday, I want to hubs and I (and the poodle) have been working on a tree to donate to charity (click) - our "tree" is made of 133 cans (thanks poodle for eating a lot of "squishies" aka wet food) painted to look like the pigs of angry birds with 2 dozen tennis balls painted to look like the birds! We have been working on this for almost a year and I'm looking forward to setting it up and donating it! I'll post a pic when it's done!

What are your weekend plans? Have you ever done a "mud run" warrior dash or whatever it's called?

Fabulous Friday fill-in fun

And...here we go!

1. Oh, that poodle - he has stolen my new chaise as his own
2. It's a sure sign of being grown up when you're excited to pay bills the minute they come in rather than hold onto them to pay "later"
3. Are we having to paint again??!.
4. My heart is heavy, a friendship I've had for years ended this week - it's for the better for us both but I'm still sad
5. Do you believe in ghosts? I do and I'm hoping to go to Salem this (Halloween) weekend eek I'm scared
6. I'm a wimp about ghosts and goblins but I swear I insist on scaring myself
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to Home Depot with ash to help her pick out colors tomorrow my plans include body infusion and yoga and helping paint - i kinda wish i wasn't sick (I have the cold that's going around) and Sunday, I want to sleep and maybe go to Salem if we aren't getting killed by a hurricane (have I mentioned I hate weather)

What are your weekend plans?
And do you believe in ghosts??

It's Friday I need to fill in

As always (why yes i do mean always) courtesy of: Friday fill ins

1. I hope I can get everything done and also back on track (I've sort just stopped need to get on that)
2. What to do when you have a party coming up? Scrub the back porch (understand this will take 5 hours), go to Home Depot, buy stain with mildew inhibitors, and stain the deck and pray it will be fully dry before the party (seriously though don't do this it's just what I do because we'll I'm joy but look at the difference between dirty - clean - stained).
3. Boy I sure did enjoy spending time with A yesterday we ran errands!!!.
4. Remind me to call my therapist (my current one, a new one? I don't know) I'm a bit out of control lately I want EVERYTHING done and NOW
5. What does the ok so this doesn't really make sense with the start of this sentence but follow along what does the car insurance people think is okay about raising my insurance 25% because of "not last winter the one before" where neither hubs or I had an accident but apparently most of the world did due to lots of snow. And best of all her reply when I questioned it? Well if the current trend continues it'll go down next year
6. It makes me annoyed to think about it SO LETS NOT.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to this is a crazy busy day I'm getting my hair cut (first time in 2012), picking up a futon (we have guests coming for a week on Wednesday and they need a place to sleep (in my 750 square foot house lordhelpmetheresgonnabe5peopleinthistinyness) and babysitting my niece I've promised her we will carve pumpkin tomorrow my plans include going to yoga and spin, helping a friend organize her closets, ohhh lets not forget i need to clean my own house (see above smallness add in my ocdness and know its easy), cook and decorate for a halloween party at 6, and then host a halloween party - where im wearing a toga (im cheap and it cost $10) and Sunday, I want to rest but instead I will be... Going to a fundraiser at the gym (a boot camp class at 5:45 am) then heading to horse judging training from 8-4 then home and crashing!!!

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEKEND?

Woohoo it's Friday fill in time

I woke up positively giddy this morning! I'm not sure why - maybe the bounty from my garden last night(seriously look at how many tomatoes - and yes that is corn!) my new mug(note the beautiful pearl) or that the terror dog is leaving today... Yup probably that but still a great day :-)

Courtesy of http://fridayfillins.blogspot.com/2012/08/and.html

1. Well, ok, maybe I AM SLIGHTLY NEUROTIC ABOUT A CLEAN HOUSE
2. BUT HAVING IT MESSY STRESSES ME OUT AND that's NOT a stretch!
3. When I'm making GOOD DECISIONS I FEEL BETTER BODY MIND AND SOUL
4. I WISH I WERE a bit healthier.
5. And frankly, I COULD BE IF I WORKED HARDER AT IT.
6. YOUR PAST root of all evil. But NOBODY NEEDS TO LIVE IN THE PAST
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to WATCHING THE OLYMPICS tomorrow my plans include GO TO YOGA, PLAY WITH SOME KITTIES AND GET RID OF THE DOG and Sunday, I want to WALK WITH A FRIEND OF MINE WHO TEXTED ME JUST THE RIGHT MESSAGE AT THE RIGHT TIME YESTERDAY :-)

So I know I normally just do the fill in and have no other commentary but I have a leeeetle story to share.
About half a mile from my house there's a cute little corner store (named... The corner store) they are a 7 11 esque place but they also offer subs and ice cream and pizza. So the other day the poodle and I walked down to get him an ice cream (vanilla soft serve with carrot and bacon "sprinkles") and while I was waiting in line there was 2 older men (mid 59s I'd guess) laughing and having a great time as they order 2 steak and cheese subs and a pizza. They were happy and glee filled and it was contagious. Soon they were pulling me in on their stroll down memory lane and THAT is when I looked at them. One of the guys had on a hospital bracelet and still had the EKG stickers on his chest. I couldn't help but wonder if his steak and cheese and pepperoni pizza order is what caused him to need an EKG. It was none of my business so I just smiled and listened to that one time they downed a 30 pack on a dare.... It got me to thinking though, what does it take to get us to take our health seriously?
I have family who leaves there room at the hospital to have a cigarette (wtf)
And I myself have purged leaving an appointment with my nutritionist (again wtf)
We all need to be grateful for each minute and do all that we can to extend the minutes.

+++are you guilty of not taking care of yourself? What are you doing this weekend to take of you?+++

Yee to the haw it's Friday fill ins time

1. Hallelujah! A WHOLE NIGHT WITH JUST ME AND MY BOYS!
2. PEACEFUL IN MY SOUL is where I wanna be!
3. When I was walking the dog this morning, I saw a handful of goose feathers in the road and I thought PILLOW FIGHT.
4. I BEGAN TO COUNT THE DAYS AND THEN THE HOURS TO MY NEXT YOGA and that's how I knew it was time TO THINK ABOUT TEACHING IT (I'm really considering becoming a seated yoga teacher for seniors...)
5. What were once vices ARE STILL VICES.
6. TEA WITH SPLENDA AND A SPLASH OF RICE MILK is what I've been having for breakfast lately.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to SLEEPING, tomorrow my plans include NONE and Sunday, I want to NONE! WHAT AN AMAZINGLY FREE WEEKEND

+++what are you doing this weekend?+++

A Sunday meme

I'm sitting on the deck in front of Starbucks enjoying an iced green tea with 2 Splenda and a splash of soy (try it - you'll like it) and have an honest post I want to write BUT I am sitting in glorious sun on a Sunday morning enjoying a great drink with my best friend (aka pupster) and I have no desire to be deep and soleful

So instead f.riday5.com has supplied me with a fun post!

What’s something you were unreasonably forbidden from doing when you were a kid?
Ahhh by the time I was born my mom had raised 3 daughters and was tired I was not forbidden from anything unreasonably - my only rules were don't lie and don't use gods name in vein

In what area of your life would you say you have especially conservative boundaries?
I'd say I'm pretty conservative in talking about my sex life (yup typing that I cringed)
In what area of your life would you say you have especially permissive boundaries?
I will talk religion (they're all good if they make you happy) money (I got none) and politics (I'm opinionated but love to hear your side too)

In what area of your life do you routinely go over the line?
Well I'm OCD so probably many! I get obsessed with an idea and it must happen! Case in point? Please see the phone cases I've ordered this month! And hello did you like my cop out answer?

How many keys do you have on your key ring?
3 - my car, hubsters car, and house and the reality of my life is those keys are often on the opposite side of the door from me!!!

+++In what area of your life do you routinely go over the line?+++

6. I AM HAPPY AND PEACEFUL WALKING about my community THOUGH I FEAR THAT THEY MIGHT THINK OF ME AS THAT CRAZY WALKER PERSON - YOU KNOW THE ONE EVERY TOWN HAS ONE
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to STAY IN, tomorrow my plans include THE HOT DOG SAFARI WITH FRIENDS - WHICH IS THE FUNNIEST PLACE FOR A VEGAN WHO HATES FOOD TO GO and Sunday, I want to HIKE FAR!

***speaking of hot dogs - how cool are the ones I made for my in laws for mother's day? I'm impressed that it worked! I got the recipe here:
http://www.hungryhalloween.com/2010/10/halloween-recipe-slithering-snake-snack.html?m=1
But I changed it a little - I didn't use food dye
And I used biscuits rather than pizza dough because a pizza dough was 3.50 and 4 biscuit doughs were 1.99 (and I'm cheap)

Friday fill ins - joy style

(which means Saturday morning - in reality I just felt like ass yesterday and typing my own name was hard)

What’s a film that always tugs at your heartstrings?
E freaking T!!! I love that movie and even if the movie sucked (which it totally doesn't) I love the memories I have from it. The first time it came out I saw it 7 times in the theater... One of those times was with my father. We got there late (no kidding I was with him) and there was only 1 seat left - he bought it and let my skootchy self sit on his lap

How long would it take you to come up with a six-inch length of string if someone needed it right now?
2 seconds - I'm sitting in my craft area

What are your thoughts on string cheese?
Unmm last I checked (I've never checked) they don't make vegan string cheese - but in high school I loved it.

Among people you know, who’s the best guitar-player?
I'll go with mark (pretty sure he's the only guitar player I know)

What memories do you have of Silly String?
None really... Might need to remedy that!

+++have you ever played with silly string?+++

I'm leaning towards http://etsy.me/wAUHVm or http://etsy.me/AbE8lX (realistically I'm leaning towards this one because it makes me laugh) but he doesn't have a mustache (but did for a while when he was like 20)
2-In your life, what is today the one-month anniversary of? I have no freaking idea!
3-What is today the one-week anniversary of? Last Friday which wasn't a very good day
4-Sometimes the traditional wedding anniversary gifts seem a bit staid. If you had your way, what would be the right gift themes for the five years’ worth of wedding anniversaries? A trip to Italy
5-Among your friends, who’s been married the longest? I guess Joey and Kurt but I have lots of other friends who've been together longer but have chosen not to marry (which since I think marriage is just a piece of paper I rather agree with)
