Today we celebrated my favorite son in law's birthday!!! His birthday was July 30th, but last weekend he did not have time to do the Clark Celebration.

We had his favorite dish of hotdogs and sauerkraut, and this year Ashley made him a Pizzookie~directions here. I only had a bite (because I am trying to stay on the WW wagon! but it was DELISH!!). Here he is while we sing to him.



And of course I always get a "creepy face" pose from him~and I threaten to put it online, LOL!!

Here it is

Today was my WW meeting (down 1.6 pounds~woot woot!!). The topic today was snacking, and can I just say that is one of my FAVORITE topics!! Our leader is the BEST!! She always brings in snack ideas every week (that is why I LOVE her so much, LOL!). After the meeting, Ashley and I stocked up on some fun new snack items~YUM!! (I am thinking that may be a photo of the day idea, LOL!!).

I love when I find a wad of laundry on top of the dryer, LOL!! This is Josh making me feel like I live in a college dorm.



Ok, time to put the sheets on the bed!!

This is what tonight looks like at our house~all the boys on the couch (Josh playing XBox, Mike doing homework~but really, I think he is checking FB, and Kodi sitting by his favorite person). I love HOME!!

Monday I found out that the office I have worked in for 9 years is closing. It is a little sad~but I have had time to process it and I am ok!

Today I updated my resume. It has been over 10 years since I have had to do that~Is it just me or is it hard trying to sell yourself?? I applied for 10 positions today and surprisingly, I am not worried (at the moment anyway, LOL!!). It is scary and exciting all wrapped up into one! Sometimes change is good~and I am excited to embark on a new ADVENTURE!!




to be continued....


*Mom I blurred out my info (she always worries about me putting too much info online)!

I usually take Kodi for a walk every day after dinner~but to be quite honest...some days I don't feel like going!! Today was one of those days!! Luckily Kodi is strong willed and barks and whines until I go!

So I put my walking shoes on, and packed up my bag (which holds my keys, phone, doggie poop baggies, and a collapsible bowl for Kodi~I guess you could call it my doggie bag, LOL!!). I looked at the bag before I put it on my shoulders and it reminds me that LIFE IS GOOD!!!



I was trying to have a good attitude, and thankfully I took time to "smell the roses." I sometimes get too busy and forget how beautiful the desert landscape is!! That really got the thankful ball rolling!!



I am thankful for the water fountain that is at the half way mark on my walking trail (Kodi is especially thankful, LOL!).



I am thankful for some happy mail!! (I have a little bit of a magazine addiction! can you see it?? it is hiding on the bottom).



And I am thankful for this crazy pooch that forces me to go on a walk when I don't feel like it~cause I always feel better once I finish!!



of course, I am Thankful for my iPhone~which I used to take all these pictures tonight :)

I am back on the WW wagon!! I fell off a bit over the summer and gained a couple of unwanted pounds *sad face here*

But on Saturday I weighed in and I am back on TRACK!! it Feels good!! I do struggle with tracking my daily points~so my goal this week is to track every.single.day!!! Here is today's points~and now that I look at it, I find that I like to snack when I get home from work, LOL!!



Another shocker~green peas are 3 points for 1 cup (who knew??), luckily I caught that before I ate them~cause I only ate a 1/2 cup instead to save up for a 2 point WW bar, LOL!! The Dark Chocolate Raspberry are my FAV!!! Check them out HERE.
