We all need something to keep us going with our workouts.
This last one really is the truth. I agreed to do the 30 Day Shred video with her.

Relay for Life
The weather was bad early in the day Friday but thankfully there really wasn't any rain after around 2. It was decided early by the committee to order in two circus tents to cover the stage and part of the track. A few teams didn't show up which was a bit sad. And we had to move from the original location because it was flooded out. I never did remember to get out my camera so the only pictures I have are from my IPhone. I also never got a good picture of our campsite.
The kids had a blast playing in the puddles.
Some of the other teams got creative with their holidays. One team was May the Fourth be with You. It is hard to tell in this picture but they were playing Star Wars movies on the screen through the night.
Another team did National Cookie Day. Not only did they make these cute cookies that the kiddos just had to have or at least I decided that. They also were wearing Cookie Monster PJ bottoms.
In all these years I have never won anything from the raffle table. How cool is this guitar for the first one? Now to get it hung in my home office.
Thanks to my friends, family and co-workers helped me raise $247.

Black Cherry Ice Cream
I saw a recipe last year in the Food Network magazine for strawberry soda ice cream. It sounded interesting but I wasn't to sure about it. I picked up a can of black cherry code from Fresh Market and decided to give it a try.
Black Cherry Ice Cream
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 c. half and half
3/4 c. black cherry coke
1/2 c. whipping cream
Whisk together condensed milk, half and half, red cherry coke and cream. Churn it for 20 minutes in the ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least two hours.
It turned out good. I don't think this will be one I will make often.

Sandal Feet
Who doesn't want an easy quick way to get your feet sandal ready. I am always searching for something on Pinterest as my feet are tickleious and have never been brave enough to get a pedicure. I tried this one about two weeks ago.
With all the reading I had to do for class it was easy to do. I mixed up the apple cider vinegar and Epsom salt in a tub and sat down to work on one of the readings. I tried another one last year but it did not seem to work as well as this one. I will be using this one more often.

I am not sure where I heard about this book but I am glad that I did. It was one of the first books I requested from the library last week to start reading once my final was over.
The book takes place in Ithaca, Georgia and revolves around three ladies in their early forties, Eadie, Lavonne, and Nita. These three ladies are married to a set of law partners. And are going through a time dealing with their husbands. Eadie's husband has finally left her for his young secretary, Lavonne is realizing being a stay at home mom with teenagers is not fulfilling, and Nita is dealing with a very controlling husband. After the annual firms party and late night of drinking when Eadie has realized that Trevor is really not coming back this time. Nita starts to looking at the photo album from the previous years men's hunting trips and the ladies notice that their are random pieces of women's clothing in the pictures and realize all these years that the men had been cheating on them. They come up with a revenge plan that will take place while they are gone.
The town of Ithaca has become a place for executives to move to from Atlanta. In response to the old guard not allowing many purple of the new people into their social circle and daughters presented as debutantes a group gets together to start a group and decided to have their own debutante party and crown a Kudzu Queen each year. Unlike a normal debutante the queen is a lady in her 40s and must pick for their escort must be at least 10 years younger. And this year they have picked Lavonne as their queen. Her husband demands that she decline and not ruin his reputation.
The books is a quick read and will make you laugh out loud. I can't wait to read the second one in the series and hope their will be more to come in the series.

Multiples - Home
I am always looking for decorating ideas. I am not very creative and need something to show me how to put a room together.
