Oh God It's Voting Season Again...

Remember last year when I made you all vote for me (again and again) for the Weblog Awards? Okay well this might seem like a flashback for you then... BUT... someone was gracious enough to nominate me for this:

And...well... I have fragile self esteem.

Asheville Adventures

Today we hit the Western North Carolina Farmer's Market...



And their bakery (of course):


Here's my mom (please note purple hair):


Then after a crazy "country style" lunch at the cafe we headed for a short jaunt on the Blue Ridge Parkway:


Which wouldn't have been complete without taking pictures of ourselves...
I'm obviously too freaking cool for school:


This is the picture I took of my mom right after I told she was about to step backwards off the cliff:
It was funny... but I fear you "had to be there".

This is what Baby did while we amused ourselves at mountain top:

Good Times.

Things You've Missed

Baby had her first habanero last night... accidentally of course... God I wish I'd had my camera for that one!
Her face slowly turned red inch by inch and her eye's glassed over. But she didn't freak out like I might have expected. No crying or gagging.... she just stuck her tongue out. She was apparently shocked. Then she drank some water and resumed eating. It was really something to behold.

Yo Momma

My mother is in town. We're off to go split one of those fantastic fresh baked cinnamon rolls.

While I'm out did anyone happen to see Gwyneth on Oprah yesterday?
Dude, she works out for 2 hours a freaking day, 6 days a week.
Discuss...

Believe you me I have some stuff to say about this (and it might not be what you think). Stay tuned.

Calling All Cardio Buffs

I got an email from a friend in dire need of an elliptical trainer. I don't have one myself but I've got a feeling more than a few of you do.
So...
Who here has an at home elliptical?
Would you all let me know what kind and how you've like it. Prices too would be great.


Oh and just in case you can't go a day without a video update... this one's for YOU!

While We Wait For The Mormons....

I urge you to go check out my good friend Mary Poppins.
I think you'll find her an enjoyable read since she is smart and witty... plus since she knows me in real life you never know what kind of inside scoop you might glean from her... and that might be worth it in and of itself (might).

Ever wonder who I went on those "Craft Dates" with? Mary Poppins.
How about who taught Baby's "Baby Class"? Mary Poppins.
What about Kid's dance class? You guessed it.
She's a jack of all trades that one.
She's also the first mom to ask me out. Not me and my kids.... just me. It's hardly ever done I assure you. It took a sassy confidence you don't see much of around the playground these days.

Now be OFF!

Head's Up

The Biggest Loser is on TONIGHT!!!

What Have I Done?

Okay I don't fully know how to explain this but tomorrow I can expect a couple strapping young Mormon men at my door.

The Silver Lining

With a little help from my friend Stomach Virus I've finally reached my goal weight.
