TGIFriday... I am so ready

Well, things just keep getting crazier and crazier in the Halvorsen household. I am waiting for details on when we are going to move but in the meantime I am working on getting things going with Pampered Chef, my workout sessions, and life in general. I feel so much better about myself these days and am so ready to move on to bigger and better things.

Aspen will be finished with Kindergarten next week and I am so ready for it to be over with. She is suffering from Summer Fever and just doesn't want to cooperate in the mornings. Granted I don't blame her. I am just ready to have a bit of a break from getting her to school. It is just not worth the struggle anymore. We will miss her school next year though. Bluff Ridge has been amazing and I have loved Mrs. Henderson. I, however, cannot wait to move into our new house, get organized at last, and just move on to our new life. I am really liking the positive changes I am making but just want to be settled in not in the state of utter caous that I feel like I am living in with moving boxes surrounding me and the endless stacks of stuff.... My goodness where did it all come from.

I better go get my workout in before more boxes come my way so that I can get more packed. Eek. Will the stuff ever disappear. Have an amazing weekend.

Happy Wednesday

Good Morning. I decided that I would take the time to get on and type a message today since it has been much too long. With move approaching me at the speed of light and everything else involved with being a mom I just haven't had the me time I would like to do things like this. Plus, I have started selling Pampered Chef again because well, I love the stuff and it was a great outlet for me. My adorable lil' Sis Heidi is hosting a party for me tomorrow and I am sooo excited. It is going to be so much fun. We are doing a Power Cooking party which allows the hose to have two freezer meals at the end of the night and possibly three depending on if there are leftovers after the guests leave. It is going to be a blast and I can't wait to get together with her and enjoy a day of catching up.

I have been working out hard again and have lost 4 1/2 pounds this week. It feels great and I am determined to not slack off again. I need to put my needs at the top of the priority list again. Here we are finishing up the school year and everything else so it is a great time to make the changes I need to make.

A Beautiful Day for Walking

Today I met my awesome friend Donna at the Legacy Parkway Trail and we walked 4 miles without kids. This was a lot of fun and a great break. I have been so extremely busy getting ready for my move that I just forget to get on here and don't have time for enjoying things like this very often these days.

Donna has started using TAIslim and loves how it makes her feel. It is crazy how much better something so simple can make you feel. She looks awesome already but all of us see the flaws in ourselves so if she can make the positive changes that make her feel the way she wants then what more can you ask for.

Well, I had better get back to work. I can't wait to be in my new house and have my life back. Hope everyone is well.

Hello Again... One day I will be back for real

Life in the Halvorsen home has been insane. Our move has changed which gives me more time to get ready but it is sad to think that I still have to wait another 8 weeks. I just can't wait to get into my new pretty house up on the mountain side. I might just have to sing "The Hills are Alive...."

I have been working on getting ready for a yard sale and today was the big day.... the big day for rain that is. I got up at 3, got everything ready to go on my lawn and driveway and just as I thought I was ontop of it.... the rains came tumbling down in full force. It didn't end so at 8:30 shivering as I was I decided to pack it up and postpone until next weekend.

Now I look outside and it has finally stopped raining but you know what it is just not worth the trouble, besides the serious shoppers would be done by now anyway.

I think that my cute little Dylan is finally healthy again. Man, it has been a tough month. She just couldn't get over the crummy stuff that had attacked her at full force. She has put her weight back on and is starting to be her little independent self again.

I ran a couple of times this week, but really need to get on the ball if I am going to do the race in August. I need to make the time for myself but with Boyd working so many hours it is hard to get that time in there. I guess if I wanted to go running at 9:30 at night it would work out just fine but after a full day of dealing with my great little troublemakers I just don't always want to leave the house that late at night.

I am trying to think of what recipe to offer tonight..... hmmm. I got it let me see if I can find it and if so you are in for a pleasant taste of the South.

Darn, I will have to look some more and if I can get back on here today I will add it. It is a favorite of mine. It makes my lips water just thinking about it.... No, I will not give away the secret.

Gotta run, literally, I am going to go get my workout in now before I get too tired after my lack of sleep from last night. Have a great one and I will come back to you soon. Hopefully tomorrow but no later than Monday. I will do my best to find my recipe for Yum Yum Ribs (ok, so I can't remember the real name, but as long as you use ribs without much fat, these are not very high in calories.)

Adios, Amigos and Amigas.....
