Day 31: 4 Goals for 2014

I've never been one for creating New Year's resolutions because of fear that I wouldn't achieve them... but that's kind of a crappy way to look at things. For someone who is so head strong, I should be able to set my mind and do it... right? So I guess I will give it a try... But this time I am going to set goals that I actually think are achievable instead of saying something like, "I'm going to lose 75lbs".  Anyway, here I go....

1. Grow a vegetable garden- I think that this will be something fun to do with the kids, teach them how to take care of something and watch it grow all while being able to enjoy our own food.

2. Get healthier- I'm not giving myself a weight loss goal... I'm just going to leave it at, be healthier.

3. Go back to school- I'd really like to go back to school.

4. Run a 5k. I know that this doesn't seem like much... but I am not meant to run... Literally, I just wasn't built for it. I was a swimmer and did well because I have big flat feet... Those big flat feet don't really do well on the pavement. Not to mention that I am pigeon toed... Giant disaster!!!! But I would like to run, and learn to enjoy running.

Hope you all have a very safe and fun night! I had a great day with my mom, 2 brother's, 2 sister in laws and my kiddos.  We tried to recreate my dad's New Years Japanese stew, it was okay but I guess we were just missing Dad. Tbone and I are now home with the animals while the kids went to their dads.

Peace out 2013!

Day 30: 10 Things That Remind Me Of My Childhood

I am for sure a child of the 80's. Love love love anything 80's.

1. Punky Brewster- She was my idol! Loved her and her funky fashion.

2. PacMan- He was my first love. I had PacMan sheets, bedspread, curtains and blankets... I still have the PacMan ornaments on my Xmas tree that my mom made for me in 1982. 

3. Jelly Shoes- I always wanted jellies but my doctor told my mom that kids were wearing them to the beach and the hot sand was melting them to the kids feet. (I'd like to see your research findings Dr.).

4. Plastic Charm bracelets/necklaces- These things were everywhere, and I had a billion of them. 

5. Hello Kitty- This was my favorite store. I would get so excited to be invited to a bday party because that meant we were going to the Hello Kitty store to pick out a gift. Tuxedo Sam was my favorite character! 

6. Spumoni sweatshirts- I actually had this one pictured. 

7. Babysitters Club- I read thousands of these things. 

8. Nintendo- I remember getting this for Christmas and setting it up at 3 am. 

9. Splatter shirts- I remember going to the mall to do those paint splatter tshirts.. It was so fun!!!! 

10. Nash Rollerskates- I think I got a pair of these every birthday for like 6 years... and I would skate in the house on the carpet. 

What reminds you of your childhood? 

Day 29: 5 Songs I Can't Help Singing Along To

Unlike AJ over at Oh Hey, It's AJ, I do not like to Karaoke (I'm actually terrified of it and have never done it), but that doesn't mean that I won't sing like a crazy person in my car or at home. I'll basically sing anything that I know the words to (or I'll make up new words). I'd have to say my top 5 songs to sing along to are....

1. I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. How can you not sing along to this????? It's a great one!

2. Hey Ya! by Outkast. This song makes me want to get up and shake it like a polaroid picture.

3. Shake it for me by Luke Bryan- mostly because I'd like to shake it for him or vice versa!!!! I mean, have you seen him??? Grrrr!

4. Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond- I've seen this man in concert twice!!!!

5. Annie's Song by John Denver- this may be one of my very favorite songs of all time!!!! It's so beautiful (future wedding song???).


What songs make your speakers go Boom Boom?
