"MY TOP 5"

1. Playing or going somewhere fun with my hubby and/or kids. They are my favorite people!

2. Getting a "s fix" from glorious candy, so I can release endorphins from a hardcore exercise, to then see the shedding of pounds I gained from eating the candy or having a baby!

Chewy: sour patch kids, jujubees, Haribo gummy bears, hot tamales, mike & ikes, smarties
Chocolate: symphony bar w/toffee and almonds, rolo, butterfinger, and milkyway decent jog on the treadmill, work'n the weights, or Kathy Smith, P90X, or Taebo videos

All too often I hop on the scale knowing it is going to upset me, but I still find myself getting on and recieving the beating- which makes it oh so thrilling when I'm actually making progress and see bit by bit the chub released.
3. Having personal time to either Blog/digital scrapbook my pictures, read a great better-me book, crochet cute booties or blankets for people I like, or last of all if I'm alone Shop til I drop.


My most recently completed book. I enjoyed this book so much because it was a great reminder of things I forget to prioritize that will bring me more happiness, and help my husband feel my love.

I could easliy lose myself in hours and hours of crocheting. Oh how the time flies.
This is a rare activity these days, but one thing I love to do. Just go by myself and shop. I find I have most fun alone, but if its someone who loves shopping as much as I do like my sister Becca, then I can have just as much fun going with a friend. But I'll take shopping however I can get it, so I often go with kids just to get my fill, and them to get an outing.

4. Spend time and have great chats with sisters, mom, and friends who I know care about me.

5. Relaxing or laying out on a beach, while my kids dig in the sand.


Thanks Tara this was fun, I now tag: Mary, Chrystal, Becca, Kim, & Becky
