For Today...
Outside my window... a nice sunny day.... a great break from the rain and gloom.
I am thinking... that if I had a personal trainer like all those skinny-minnies in Hollywood, I could have a rockin' bod too. I had one of my "Leanest Loser" training sessions this morning, and she worked my butt off! Now I just need to grow a money tree, so I can hire a personal trainer to come get me out of bed every morning and force me to work out.
I am thankful for... having Mondays off work.
From the kitchen... pig. Nina has been in tears over not having pig the last two nights, so tonight will be pig. She was grocery shopping with me on Saturday and said, "Mom, I want some pig." We picked out a ham, and I said we would have it one night for dinner. Saturday night, I made poached salmon. Nina saw it, went to the fridge, and got out her pig. I said, "What are you doing? We're having salmon tonight." She burst into tears saying, "But we bought pig! I thought we were going to have pig tonight!" I calmed her down, told her to try the salmon, and assured her that we would have pig the next night. Then Sunday rolled around and due to a no-show at a cookie booth, I was stuck on my feet working a booth for 3 hours. I was exhausted when we finally got home and wanted nothing to do with the kitchen. We decided to go out for Mexican to indulge my need for a frozen margarita. Nina again melted into a puddle of tears with, "But you PROMISED me we would have pig tonight!!" Sigh. I suppose I had, but really... I just couldn't face cooking anything. Tonight, I have no excuse. Nina will get her pig, and all will be right with the world.
I am creating... Nina's seven year birthday letter (a little belatedly), Valentine's cards with the girls, and balanced cookie spreadsheets.
I am going... to be sore tomorrow. The trainer had me working out on the rower today, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to move tomorrow.
I am reading... nothing unless it relates to Girl Scout cookies. Don't you wish you were me?
I am hoping... that I have enough cookies for our booths this weekend. We sold 698 boxes at booths this past weekend, and I just have 520 boxes stashed away for this coming weekend.
I am hearing... birds chirping.
Around the house... Girl Scout cookie paperwork.
One of my favorite things... Nina's snaggletooth look right now with the single remaining top tooth in the middle of her mouth. She just looks so cute - in a seven-year-old-losing-her-teeth sort of way!
A few plans for the rest of the week.... try to get some sleep despite it being cookie season.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing... Daddy's little off-roading biker

If i had a money tree, i would hire a personal trainer along with a cook to make the healthful meals and someone to clean up after me. Oh, and a masseuse.
