This month I signed up for Foodie Pen Pals over at <a href="http://www.theleangreenbean.com/" target="_blank">The Lean Green Bean.</a> Basically how it works is that you sign up by the 5th of every month and you are assigned a Pen Pal. I was so excited to receive my box from Vanessa over at <a href="http://www.midsouthmoma.com/" target="_blank">midsouthmoma</a>. She sent me a box full of yummy goodness. 100% organic sunflower seeds; which i ate right away... shhh don't judge. Also, included was organic chocolate syrup, honey, mints, sport beans, pomegranate juice and funky monkey treats. She also included Sweet Potato treats for our fur babies, Hank & Finn. thanks Vanessa for the yummy goodies!!!!

My first time being away from the area I grew up;it took me 35 years, but we did it. My first day driving to the Smoothie King, which I I thought I remembered how to get there but I got a little lost, just trying to get out of the apartment complex. Needless to say, I am terrible with directions. Living somewhere for 35 years you get use to the area and can get almost anywhere. Now being in the state of Texas, hello this place is freakin huge not to mention a ton of more highways. So I'm learning the ropes and getting around for now. I have been using my handy dandy maps app on my phone to help. I did make it all the way to downtown dallas from allen which is about 23 miles one-way. Oh boy was that a scary first day to go to the office. Bryce printed off directions and because of the traffic I had to leave at 6am. i </span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">talked to him the whole way which made me feel much better. I made it to work in 20 minutes that morning, I'll talk more in another post about traffic. I got a little turned around trying to get out of the parking garage. i would say it was a HUGE success for me in conquering a fear of being lost. I've almost memorized my route to work, the street names not so much. Lol. I hope you enjoyed this post on my </span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">first day in dallas traffic and my fear of being lost.</span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01228064620867053124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905828052648627980.post-42655200844398562062012-10-13T14:14:00.002-07:002012-10-13T14:24:06.875-07:00Our 3 day journey to Texas<span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">We made it! Our 3 day journey across the country to our new temporary home; in an apartment. We began our journey on a </span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">Friday night</span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;"> from Charlotte and stopped off in Atlanta at a LaQuinta. The hotel was on the outer belt of the ATL. It was a very nice hotel. Modern in style and convenient to food and the highway. We left the next morning to begin our second day of travel and as we traveled through the southern states (Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) it actually went by pretty fast. We had anticipated driving for 8 hours which turned into 10 because our first and second hotel choice was not the best in Louisiana, so we decided to drive to the Texas border and stopped at a LaQuinta in Murphy, TX. Nice hotel; however our room smelled like fresh paint. Our third day, was only 2.5 hours in the car. By this time Finn was so aggravated with being in the car that he was pouting. My sweet Hank, co pilot slept all 3 days in the car with me. Quite the travel companion he was. We ended up arriving a few hours early so we headed to Target and grabbed a few essentials like, towels, sheets and snacks. </span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">We also had to stop and buy a mattress. We were lucky that the one we liked was available for delivery that afternoon. </span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px;">We finally went to the apartment and signed the lease. We took the dogs for a walk around and Bryce unpacked the car. Our first night we ordered PeiWei for dinner which was at the end of the street. I would say our first across the country move with two dogs and two cars was a success.</span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01228064620867053124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905828052648627980.post-12347090447604176632012-08-17T08:42:00.002-07:002012-08-17T08:42:23.517-07:00Test post new blog Test test test test test test......

It's FRIDAY! I am so excited! Can't tell you why yet, but soon and I'll post a few pictures!!<br />
<br />
I did find a new really, really cool tool. <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=27338714">Polyvore</a>. It is so cool. <br />
<br />
You can create unique outfits, pull in pieces from designers and websites. Its really neat. Did I just say neat???? Ok dork!! I have created a few out there this morning. <br />
<br />
Now I don't think that I am a designer or even a creative person, but its fun and I think I will use it quite often. <br />
<br />
Go out there and try it.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01228064620867053124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905828052648627980.post-83246614916282402792011-01-07T17:20:00.000-08:002011-01-07T17:20:49.527-08:00What I'm digging right now!Or should I say drooling over....<br />

$39.50<br />
<br />
Gap City Flats - Oh how I would love a pair of these. Too cute they even come with a bag so you can fold them and put them in your purse. I should have purchased these when they had the 40% off sale. :( sad face...... I'm sure everyone out there has seen these...but I just had to list them here.<br />
<br />

This is a cutie...huh girls!! I saw this one this past weekend at the Coach store. I luvvvvv it. Its a pricey $298 bills. I may be waiting a while on this one.<br />
<br />

$148 at White House Black Market<br />
<br />
This dress would be great to wear to the office. I'm not a dress girl, but I would love to wear this with some cute heels. I need to wait for a sale or a coupon in the mail. :)<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rowenta-DR5020-800-Watt-Handheld-Steamer/dp/B000SXF8NS">Rowenta - Amazon</a><br />
$36 bucks on Amazon<br />
<br />
Yes, I posted a picture of a handheld steamer. I have the large one but its kinda awkward to use and I think this handheld one could help with small things and the big one for items such as drapery.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sure there is a better way to list these on here, but I'm new and learning. Please be patient with me.<br />

This year is going to be <b>the</b> year of health for me. My main focus will be on diet, exercise and nutrition. I guess you can call this a resolution. I feel as though i have fell off the wagon when it comes to these 3 things. My health needs to be a priority for me in 2011. This past year I have had several colds and I can count on 1 hand how many times i have been to the gym. Gym what is that? JK :) In 2011 you will see posts on my progress, pain points and food.

Well, I can't this year has gone by super fast. <br />
<br />
Last weekend I was really feeling in the spirit and decided what the heck and we pulled out the Christmas decorations. I mean we had to put away the Halloween ones and why not bring down the Christmas decorations while we are already up in the attic...No brainer right? I thought so too. I finally got the camera out to take a few photos of our dining and kitchen table decorations. <br />
Hope you enjoy!<br />

We try and go back every 2 years to see the Balloon Fiesta. This year's trip was so much fun! On Thursday morning we got up at the crack of dawn to be at the park-n-ride by 430 am because the balloon launch was to start at 6 am and you don't want to miss it. Ok so in years past it has been really cold like in the low 40s. This year was really nice it was in the 60s even that early in the am. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wish I would have taken a picture of the food. YUM-O We had the famous 'Breakfast' Burrito which I later learned was started right there in ABQ. So one might ask what is a Breakfast Burrito? Well glad you did it is yummy goodness. Ok so it is a flour tortilla which includes, bacon or sausage, potatoes, eggs and the magic ingredient Green or Red Chilies from Hatch NM. So, SOOOOOO good. Oh and they do have a spicy little kick to them. I swear I think every restaurant in ABQ served chilies on everything. Oh and did I mention Garduno's they have yummy Sopapilla's (or the locals call them Sopas) & Casa de Benevidez has breakfast burritos which we ate at twice :) Ok, enough about the food.

Well here it goes. I got hooked on blogs from a dear friend and have been wanting my own for a little while now. This will be an challenge for me so bare with me as I get started. I love fall and it has finally arrived. Waiting for the hubs to get the decorations down from the attic. I have seen so many interesting decorations in magazines that I may try and duplicate on my own. Oh and wait till you see what I have up my sleeve for a few posts ideas.
