I used to have decently in-shape muscles from dance, and wouldn't you know it, they didn't really hang around after 6 years of not doing dance on a regular basis. They started to show back up about two years ago when I took a dance class in undergrad, but they ran away again. I still have leg muscles that hang around because I walk about a mile or more a day from walking or biking to and from class or other errands or meetings on campus, but the abs have disappeared. I decided I needed to do something about that. Running helps, but it's just not the same as a real ab workout. I've got the degree that taught me all I needed to know to make my own workout, but having the video tell you that you have to do ten more crunches really makes you push through. If I were to just sit here and make my own workout, I would probably stop when I felt "tired." My Exercise Science degree has also taught me that just because you're "tired" doesn't mean you can't go a little further. Funny all that just came to mind...because guess what two classes I'm taking next semester while I'm studying for my Comprehensive Exams...Exercise Prescription and Exercise Motivation & Adherence. I feel like they go hand in hand, don't you? :)
I said I'd post pictures of Megan's Cupcake Pin Cushion and Birthday cake....here they are!! :) From a and w Somehow, I managed to forget to take a finished product picture....you can see the pins in this picture where I was hand stitching the "wrapper" in place. I also added a pom-pom to the top. And the cake... From a and w And her reaction when Julia & I gave it to her! (On my singing, colorfully lit cake plate my parents gave me for my birthday!! :) :) ) From a and w
In case you haven't looked at my etsy shop , stop by! I've got several sets of watercolor notecards listed, painted by my father-in-law. And just now, I've added a listing for 5 passport covers I made tonight! :) I've made it so you can have a choice in what button you have on front. I'm so excited!! You can ask Adam...I've been talking everyday for the last...two weeks....about how I want to make something to put on Etsy! After I made my passport cover (because I wished I had one when I went to France)...I was already thinking about making more and listing them, and then I had a few several people confirm that for me. Right now, I only have one blue paisley design listed, but I've got LOTS of fabric here I can use. Adam voted I make some Auburn colored ones, of course. So I'm sure I'll list some of those soon! :) Anywho, I'm excited! :)
Over at Southern Fried Dreams there's a Hospitality Linky Party happening until midnight tonight! I've been thinking this week what my favorite food to serve guests would be (if we were hosting parties in our 500 sq. ft. apartment!) and I'd have to say it would be these little mini casseroles Adam and I came up with! They've been Sunday School Snack approved!! :) ***Also, here is a variation of my recipe that includes bacon and hot sauce!! :) Blah to Ta-Daa: Yummy Breakfast Casserole (I'm glad you loved it Melissa!!) :)*** I started making Sausage Casserole sometime shortly after we got married because we both love breakfast foods, and not necessarily during breakfast hours. One day Adam asked if I could make bite-sized ones so he could warm up a few to snack on at work and not necessarily have to sit down and eat (being a fireman, they have some days where they just don't get a break, especially when he was working day-shift this past semester!)...
i haven't done crunches in awhile....or any ab workout for that matter! i need to get it in gear! :)
