This was taken this past January when I was visiting Vegas with a few friends.

It’s funny how before I went I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy it so much, but now I kinda wish I could go back and take Paul with me even though I don’t think he would care for it.  I just loved walking around there at night looking at all the lights.  Watching the fountain go off at The Bellagio and going up in the Eiffel tower to see all the lights from up there.

Here I was thinking it would be this awesome squirt gun where I could see you lose weight as you are busy chasing the kids around.  Chasing kids around the yard = running which = exercise!   Made sense to me.  Like I said.. shows you what I know.  LOL

I guess that’s not what it is at all.  Instead it’s a pre-workout bodybuilding supplement.  Yeah.. I don’t think I need that quite yet.  Maybe in like.. 10 years!  ~wink~

I still think a cool water gun would be fun though.  I think I’ll have to be on the hunt for one.   I’ve always tried going the cheap way out with the water guns and it shows as with in a couple weeks they are already broken.  I’m thinking this year… we might go all out a little more.  (all out = spending over $1)     Do you have a water gun that works great?  If so, what kind do you have and where did you get it?

This is another recipe out of the cookbook my sister made me (all her tried & true recipes) when I got married!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 pg yeast (2-1/4 tsp)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 Tbs oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbs margarine
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Mix the water, yeast and sugar.  Dissolve the yeast & let it rest for 5 minutes.  Add the flour, oil, and salt.  Knead the dough until it’s not sticky, adding more flour as necessary.
2. Place in a greased bowl, spray with cooking spray and cover.  Let rise for 5 minutes to 2 hours.
3. Punch down.  Roll out on a large cookie sheet & using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into “sticks”
4. Bake at 450 until they begin to turn golden brown.
5. Melt 2 Tbs margarine and add 1 tsp garlic salt.  Stir
6. Brush margarine over each piece and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

I just found out another cool thing, just haven’t used it yet so I can’t vouch 100% for it.   Let me just say are you a woman (I guess I could say man too) that has bags under their eyes, wrinkles or even cellulite?  If so this is going to sound crazy, but I read today a cheaper product that will help either get your eyes less puffy, wrinkles to disappear and cellulite not look as bad.  (I did read it could also help cold sores too)   So do you know what the cure could be?!?  You will never guess…. it’s hemorrhoid cream!   

I never would of thought about putting hemorrhoid cream on my face, but if you think about it what does hemorrhoid cream do?  It tightens and shrinks tissue there for making the skin not as puffy and smoother.   I did read to be very careful when putting it around your eyes or on your lips (for a cold sore).   You are suppose to wash & dry your face and make sure all your make up is removed.  For the bags under the eyes apply a small amount under the eye area and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.  Wash off gently & pat dry.   For a cold sore, just dab a little on the spot and whatever you do.. DON’T LICK IT!   Let it sit for a few minutes and if you think you might end up licking it on accident, wipe it off and make sure there is no residue left.

Do you have something around the house that you use that’s not what it’s suppose to be meant for?  If so, please do share!

I chose this song today because everytime Katie hears it she says it’s my song and start trying to sing it.     The reason she think’s it’s her song is because I had told her before that it was her song because I could see boys thinking of her more as a friend than a girl friend.  Of course I’m 100% ok with that!

Every time I see someone running I can’t help but wonder if they are getting ready for the Grand Rapids River Bank Run?  I really wish I could of went to watch it last year as my friend ended up doing it for the first time, but unfortunately they always have it on Mother’s Day weekend and that’s the weekend we head north to Mesick for the Mushroom Festival.   What’s great is my friend ended up running with her other friends in memory of a friend who had passed away.   I haven’t asked her if they were going to do it again this year, but I have a feeling they will be and will making it a tradition now.  Last year they all wore the same shirts that said something like In Memory of Kyle.  I was thinking if it would be fun this year if they made up some custom hats and wore them?  I don’t believe any of them are running it to actually win it, so why not have fun with it then?  

Are you a runner/jogger or walker?  Have you ever participated in a race or walk before?  Did you enjoy it?  After being in your first one, did you end up getting the bug to do it more and more?

Along with changing your clocks today, don’t forget to change your batteries in your smoke detectors!   It’s a quick, simple, cheap things to do that might just save your families lives!   Taking those few precious minutes (depending on how many you  have) might just as well be worth it!

Did you figure it out? If you live in one of the “fun” states like me I’m sure you know.. that would be today is Daylight Saving Time.    Back in 2007 they changed it and Daylight Savings Time now happens every 2nd Sunday in March @ 2:00 am!   So at 2:00 am you are to “spring ahead”  your clocks to 3:00 am!  

Because of us springing ahead last night we tried getting the kids to bed an hour early and thankfully they went down to problem, the only thing is they actually slept in to 9:00 (which used to of been 8:00).   Today it wasn’t a big deal if they slept in, but I can’t help but wonder what Tuesday will hold when they have to wake up early for school.  (They both go to school on Tuesday & Thursday)   Most mornings Kevin complains of having to wake up early those days in the first place, I can’t imagine him waking up on Tuesday.    I’m thinking tomorrow I’ll make sure we wake up early and I have a feeling he will be getting a hard work out at Karate that night as his instructor went to a seminar this weekend and already wrote saying he can’t wait to show and teach the students everything he’s learned.   Maybe, just maybe, if that happens Kevin will go to bed no problem when we get home!

Is there anything you do to get your little ones ready for Daylight Saving Time?  Just think.. November 7th we will get to “fall back” again so we can sleep in!
