What I am Sipping on These Days

If you are trying to drink more water like I am, you need to try Mi@.  There is a W@l-Mart brand which is a dollar cheaper, but they do not have the peach tea flavor yet.  I am addicted to this stuff.  You put a little squirt in your water and BOOM, you have peach tea with 0 calories.  I like this stuff better than the powdered individual packets, I always spill those or they don't dissolve right.  You can keep one these in your car or purse for a treat anytime.  I try to drink 1 liter of plain water too per day because I really can't find a definitive answer if this stuff makes the water not as good for you.  It is sweetened with sucralose I believe which I think is the best artificial sweetener.  There are TONS of other flavors too if you don't like peach tea!

Cynthia sent me a pic last week of the Ultra Cider and I have been on a mission to find it over the past week.  I found it at good ole Wally World on Monday and tried one last night.  It is good.  Not blow your mind good, but good. And only 120 calories which is way less than most ciders and it is not as filling.  It has a pear taste to it. Pretty good though, I am sure it will not be the last 6 pack I buy of it this summer!  Has anyone tried the B@d Light Margarita beer yet?  I am always a sucker to try the new things and usually don't like them.  But I will probably end up trying this one too :)

Keyholder Project

We have been in search of some type of key holder to go in the new house. Right now, we just throw them into a bowl that is in our entertainment center thing, but our living room is no-where near the back door in the new place, which is what we will come in/out of every day. We wanted something to hang on the wall in the laundry room, which is right by the entrance to our house from the garage. We didn't want the keys to be right up against the wall though, b/c we knew it would ding up the paint. Cedric had the idea and I found just what we needed on Pintere$t. Here is our version:

 
I think it turned out great and I am excited to use it once we move!

Acne Vitamins

I got my vitamins in the mail yesterday and am going to begin them today! I hope they work as well for me as they have for Susan. I have had acne since I was 10 years old. I remember being at the dermatologist when I was 10 and him saying "you are having it early. When everyone else is having it in high school, you won't have to worry about it, yours will be gone". I guess that was just positive thinking on his part, because here we are, 24 years later, and I am STILL dealing with acne! Not horrible skin, but very oily all the time and hormonal breakouts. Not to mention that my nose is blackhead infested all the time. In addition to having very oily skin, I also have very SENSITIVE skin, which means that alot of the products designed for oily skin irritate me. So here goes, I am going to try this. I am like Sus, I will try just about anything for clear skin or to lose weight :)

Still Alive

Dear Blog Buddies, Family, and Friends, I suck at blogging lately. It is not because I have nothing much to blog about, it is actually the opposite...it just seems I cannot find the time to actually sit down and type. I honestly feel like I have been on a roller coaster the past few weeks/months. We celebrated Easter. Gabriel had strep throat and was sick for A WEEK. I started selling my stuff at the TC Store, we had a BIG yard sale at our house, Cedric graduated and had capping/pinning ceremony plus the graduation ceremony which was the next night. I threw Cedric a graduation party. We celebrated Mother's Day. Now Izzie has chicken pox and I think Gabriel is getting it too. On top of this, I work full time and also have to do my wifely/motherly duties such as laundry, cooking, cleaning (not so much) etc....Next weekend we have Ceddy's brother's wedding, at which I am serving as photographer...please keep your fingers crossed that I don't suck!!!! I really just need to clone myself so that the clone can do some things for me, which would give me time to do more of the things I love, like crafting, blogging, etc. I love reading your blogs, THANK YOU for being more committed than I am. Please keep your blogs coming, they make me smile every day :) I promise to do a better job. My new goal is 2 blogs per week. I am counting this as one, so I need to do one more before the week starts over on Monday. I should be able to find the time, since we are kind of stuck at home so as to not infect the rest of the world with chicken pox. Oh, except I have to work tomorrow-on a Saturday, yep. I am doing a hearing screening clinic at the local mall to promote May as Better Hearing and Speech Month. Honestly, I am kind of looking forward to it, I will get out of the house and get to interact with some grown ups...And it is right beside of Kirkland's, so I may have to stop in and do a little browsing... Happy Weekend! Love you all!
