Boredom Resolved


Do you ever have those days that you feel like if you don't get out of the house you will go crazy?  Well, I had one of those days today. Yesterday, Emma wasn't feeling very well so, we pretty much just hung out at home.  I am thankful that I met a friend in the morning to go for a run, which turned into a walk because we had so much to catch up on.  The remainder of the day consisted of a bit of laundry, football and more football, in which I have a very short attention span for. I was a bit tired myself, so I attempted a nap but was not at all successful.  Why is it if I am tired, I can't ever even take a tiny cat nap?  Instead, I lay there thinking of 101 things that I could be doing instead, about the upcoming week, about the cold weather that I am dreading, about baking some cookies, about where and when I will start the P90X and on and on.  Its really quite ridiculous. I was restless and filled with boredom. 

As you can see, after being home all day yesterday, I needed to get out of the house.  I didn't even care where I went or what I did.  So, finally around 3 o'clock, Emma was feeling like she, too, wanted to go somewhere.  The weather was mild and somewhat sunny, so we decided amongst ourselves that we would head downtown and catch a sneak preview of ArtPrize, while getting some exercise and fresh air.  This is a really cool, open art event that our city has had for three years now.  If you have no clue what I am talking about and have never heard of this, you should definitely  check out this website,www.artprize.org to learn more.

It felt so wonderful to be out in the fresh air.  It helped make all of us feel better.  I took some pictures along our stroll downtown to share with you.  
















Enjoy the last wee bit of the weekend before a fresh week awaits us tomorrow.

Thankful Thursday - Snow Days

Image
I am 100% convinced that I must have brought the Michigan weather along with me when I moved south, here to Ohio.  I was under the impression that southern Ohio has a much more mild climate and less snow. Well, I have yet to see proof of this. The idea of less snow really excited me! We have had almost as much snow as back in my hometown!   I would love to see warm and sunny weather every single day.  Perhaps, to experience that type of tranquility, I will need to move to a beautiful Caribbean island and sell hot dogs or ice cream on the beach. This is a thought that passes through my mind no less than five times a day in the winter. Like I mentioned before, January and February are the toughest months for me.  It is almost as if old man winter casts a spell of the nasty blahs and sadness on me.  Some days just tend to be worse than others.  I am seriously considering hibernating next winter. It may pose a problem for me considering that I don't like to lie around and sleep.  I

It Happened To Me Again!

I can't believe it happened to me again!  More brown bananas!  I certainly hope this is NOT a sign of things in my life turning bad and rotting.  The funny this is, I do not even eat bananas or things made with bananas very often because they are too sugary.  Yes, they taste good and I enjoy them, they just don't work out with my body being a Type 1. So, today, I decided to bake some banana crumb muffins with my lovely bananas.  As I was making my muffins and brainstorming for this post, I thought I would toss out a "Funny Fact" about me.  Are you ready for this one?  I am sure by now, you have picked up on the fact that I absolutely love baking and it brings me such happiness.  Yes, I know, I am a total cheese ball!  Well, the "Funny Fact" that I am revealing about myself is that I have this pipe dream to one day own my own bakery.  I worked in a bakery for almost two years and loved it!  The drawback was total lack of sleep.  So, rather than a retai

Munchie Mix for Monday

Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about.  Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change of plans.  Here is what I did t
