Hey Purty Lady

I wanted to introduce you all to one of my most favorite peeps - Natalie. She's my "ragin cajun" friend from New Orleans. Nat and I met online on theknot.com many years ago while planning our weddings and have been great friends ever since. I just recently saw her in Dallas (which I promise I'll blog about later!). She's married and has a beautiful daughter, Anna. She's incredibly funny and I have really ejoyed reading her blog. Check it out for yourself! http://oneporkchop.blogspot.com/ I suggest you start reading from her first post - so funny!

That's Natalie picking the bull's nose - I swear the girl never takes a normal picture, lol

I'm still alive

in case you were wondering :o) I've been such a bad blogger. We have been so busy and I promise to write an update soon.

WOW

It has been well over a month since I last posted. I'm the worst blogger EVER!!! We've been busy, but I'll get to that later. I had to post this fabulous blog entry from my friend Dusty. Her blog has like a million followers, partly because she's such a brilliant writer and also because she has some funny stuff happen to her. This is one of my favorite Dusty memories - Pillowgate 2006. Click the link to see her story...

Resolution Update

In trying to hold myself accountable, I am going to periodically post updates on how I'm doing with my 2009 resolutions! I kept the resolutions pretty general - be healthier and craft more. So far I have lost 10 pounds, thanks to Good Measure Meals!!! I did cheat slightly last night and at Mexican last night, but I am not beating myself up over it! I also haven't had a single cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee yet this year, or any coffee for that matter - not even the crappy coffee at the office. I truly miss my Dunkin Donuts - I shed a little tear each day as I pass by the two DD shops on my way to work. I also have to make sure I'm in the left lane so I won't easily make that right hand turn into the parking lot. I'm also happy to report I haven't smoked a single cigarette in 2009 either!

As far as my crafting goes, you can see from the posts below that I have kept up that resolution as well! I've been ordering lots of fabrics and making things for friends. I am going to start my Etsy shop as soon as I get get some more things made. I'm calling my little business Peachy Keen Creations. I have business cards - be on the look out!

There are always improvements to be made, so I would like to address those as well. First and foremost I have got to start exercising. There's an adult dance studio down the street from me that a fellow Junior Leaguer owns, so I am going to try and start going to classes a few nights a week. They offer anything from yoga to belly dancing! I've had a hard time finding time for after work activities lately because I am seeing a Chiropractor for some back pain - thankfully nothing too serious that can't be fixed. Other improvements I need to focus more on are eating better on the weekends. It's amazing what a couple of bad meals can do to ya!

That's it for now..until next time. I will leave you with a picture of my beloved coffee. I miss you Dunkin Donuts!!!
