Sugar and Spice Vox Box

I was so excited to get home on Monday to find my Sugar and Spice Vox Box! I have started trying things out and I am anxious to share my thoughts with you! There were lots of goodies in this box.

 


This morning I tried the Belvita Breakfast Biscuits. @belVita






They were very tasty, but I definitely took a hit on my Weight Watchers points. 6 Points for 4 biscuits. This would be a breakfast I would have if I was in a rush, on the go, but there is no way I could add this to my regular breakfast rotation. If they could cut the fat (including saturated fat) and carbs, it would be less points and would be worth adding it in. They tasted like dessert, not breakfast, and they kept me full for quite some time. They were especially good with coffee! 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

I look forward to sharing my opinion on the other products soon!

It's a Blizzahd!!!!!

I have been very busy and slacking in my blogging....but since I have been stuck indoors since yesterday, and will be stuck indoors for the immediate future due to this blizzard we are getting, what better time to sit down and write a post.

We have gotten just about 2 ft of snow in the past 24 hours (or I could say in the past 16 hours since it didn't really start coming down hard until last night). 

Luckily, we have been hunkered down with plenty of snacks and drinks, we haven't lost power or heat, and we are just being lazy. Perfect snow day = movies, internets, coffee, and laziness :)

At some point I will do some homework due Wednesday, but other than that...it's facebook and pinterest to bide my time. I don't mind at all.

I have been trying pinterest recipes as well, eating way too much, but that is ok. Just trying to stay warm LOL.

Sunday Funday

I made it through the crazy week, just barely...But the weekend has consisted of just what I needed. Friday night the girls arrived and we ordered take out and played just dance 4 for quite a long time. Saturday I slept really late, then woke up and we all watched Pitch Perfect. GREAT movie. I think that one is one we will need to purchase for future viewing pleasure. Then we played Just Dance 4 again. I showered, went to Target for some household staples, then got to go visit my favorite esthetician Candi at Elizabeth Grady. After my appointment I picked up Brianna and headed home to meet Stef and Matt (Izzy was at a sleepover for one of her friends). The four of us headed to another birthday party where we hung out until Brianna got far too tired and started acting nasty. When we got home, the girls went to bed, then Matt and I watched a movie (Stolen) - ok....Today we woke up earlier than yesterday but it was a happy wake up, then we had breakfast (ham and cheese omelets), and Matt and I did homework. I am taking a break from homework, the girls are playing, and Matt is still doing homework. Pretty soon we are going to have pizza and wings and watch football and more football. Go Patriots!!

Wahhhhh

Hell week was supposed to be over yesterday...but unfortunately Thursday didn't get that memo.
I am officially in BED, yes, it is 5:51 and I am in BED. And I don't plan on moving from here until tomorrow morning.

Yep, just about ready to lose it.

Today is apparently one of those days I should just stay in bed and skip altogether.
I woke up with best intentions. I have a lot to do today...went and disposed of the Christmas Tree at the transfer stations, dropped off the recycling, and was headed to the bookstore to pick up my $178 book. I seem to encounter every driver over 70 who has completely forgotten how driving works (i.e. using blinkers, looking before changing lanes, hitting the gas pedal when the light turns green,and it goes on and on...) I made it to the bookstore, then headed to work. I arrive at work only to find this:

Not sure what exactly this is, but it looks like hot chocolate to me.
But whatever it is, I am extremely pissed off that it has ruined my daughter's girl scout cookie order form that she took a lot of time to make pretty and explain why she is selling cookies.
I emailed my manager to find out who to complain to, but the damage is already done. Now my daughter has to use this for another month. I am BULLSHIT.


So anyway. I worked for another 15 minutes then I went to kick the shit out of ZUMBA.
Did a 1.5 hr zumba with toning class to get some frustration out....Fun times.

After Zumba I went home for a much needed shower, packed Brianna's bag for her girl scout sleepover, went to Jordan's furniture to pick up my order, then picked up Brianna. We went to dinner, went home to have her finish getting ready for her sleepover, then I dropped her off.

I finally got to sit down for a minute when I got to my pal Laurie's birthday party! Had some fun, watched some football, had a drink and some food, and met some very nice people. I headed out at 10:30 and made it home about 20 min ago. I am going to finish watching this football and crawl in to bed...I will have to pick my child up tomorrow morning at 7am, then I will HAVE to do work until football starts....
