The Burning Question....


This weeks question:

If you were handed two tickets to anywhere,
where would you go and who is going with you?


Of course, Europe is always on my list... Africa too, but today if I were to receive two
tickets I would like to go to California with my husband. The first stop would be the Ellen show. Then to see my cousin and his family. Next stop San Francisco. The remainder of the trip I would like to drive the coast and enjoy the wineries.

It's your turn.... where would you go?



LOOK just below this post...I'm hosting a giveaway. The first 50 people win a little gift and one winner will receive a luxury robe and bath accessories. Check it out!

Monday To Do: Review Yoplait Greek Yogurt and Luxury Giveaway

I'm taking this "spring cleaning" thing to the next level. Not only am I working on my house, but I'm also working on my body. That sounds a little extreme.... I'm working on being a healthier me the o' natural way. (E.g. last weeks post on watch less t.v.)

When My Blog Spark offered me to do a review on Yoplait Greek Yogurt I jumped at the opportunity. Being on a budget has limited my food exploration, so I was excited to try it and excited to share what I learned.

Details: As a vegetarian I am always looking for a good source of protein. Within one cup of Yoplait Greet Yogurt there is 12 grams of protein...two times that of the leading yogurt. It comes in 4 flavors, Strawberry, Blueberry, Honey Vanilla and Plain. I have been using plain yogurt in place of sour cream and making some yummy things might I add. For explain, when we have nachos I use plain yogurt and sprinkle taco seasoning in it and when I want veggies and dip I use plain yogurt then add a dehydrated veggie packet to it....it's fabulous-o. I promise!

Oh, there's more! Yoplait has provided me with this embeddable microsite (do I sound smart or what) for you to learn more and to get a free ... FREE cup of Yoplait Greek yogurt. The first 50 people to comment will get a coupon and you'll also get to see some cool footage from "Clash of the Titans". Check it out!!

The campaign is "Nourish Your Inner Goddess", that's pretty fancy-shmancy but I like it. I pictured me at a spa with burly men wearing togas, gently taking one hand while sensually feeding me this yogurt. Snapping out of it I realized it's a good yogurt not magical.

The yogurt is fantastic, the price ($1.19) is affordable, the free coupon is very generous, last but not least Yoplait and My Blog Spark are also allowing me to giveaway to one lucky winner this:

Here's how you can win this luxury robe and accessories...listen closely.....just leave a comment. That's it! Tell me what flavor of Yoplait Greek yogurt sounds good to you and if you could have one person feeding you this yogurt who would it be. (I know that kind of silly, but it's good to explore your silly side every once in a while.) You can also get another entry for becoming a follower and/or being a follower. Ends April 18th.


*This coupon offer for a free cup of Yoplait Greek yogurt is not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Tennessee, but click here and you can get a coupon to for Yoplait Greek yogurt.

Friends

Here I sit...o.k. I'm really laying down. I know it's 12:50, but that's what you get to do when you don't have kids or if they're old enough to take care of themselves.

Last night we went to our friends house for dinner and a movie. As door flew open we were greeted with sincere smiles. It's an emotion that can rarely be defined, but often felt when you know your welcome. As fast as I could I reached for their baby. Just before nestling him into my arms our eyes connected and his cute little crooked smile melted my heart. At one point my husband wrapped around me while Cedar was in my arms not only could I see our bright future I could feel it....


We got home around 11:00, just in time to answer the phone. Like most of you a phone call that late brings fear of bad news. Thankfully it was just the opposite. It was a 3 1/2 hour call that filled in gaps of communication leaving me in laughing fits and tears. I love the feeling of good friends. I love knowing miles apart doesn't mean absent from mind.

It's never a bad time to reach out to a friend, Even if it's been a long time...just call. That effort might be the one thing the person needed to get through a difficult time, a lonely day or just an added reason to smile. Reminiscing is great medicine even when you're healthy. Pick up the phone!

Have a wonderful Sunday! I'll be writing a few reviews today, so be on the lookout for some fabulous giveaways.

*A quick shout out to Pink Daisys Blog. I was reading her blog and listening to her great (easy listening) playlist. I opened a new page, so I could continue to listen to it as I write. If you want to check out a new blog...head on over.

Organized Confusion

Honestly, I'm not sure where this week has gone. I do know this....
I still have a cold. Oh that's right, I decided not to write about that last week because I didn't want to believe it, but I am dragging this cold around with me. (Funny thing to picture.) It's week two of a butt kicking cold, honk honk.

I am also working on a few personal changes.

First things first, I really want to watch less t.v. I usually have it on for noise then realized I don't really want the noise. I also realized that I could be doing a lot of those "things" that I always wanted to do, but never had time for when the t.v. is off. I also realized that television programs are a lot like magazines for me..... I need less of them and more of "real" people in my life....and "real" experiences. Don't get me wrong, I'm still watching t.v. just less of it.

My husband and I are working out together. I'm not sure whether to clap or cry, but we are trying to get in better shape. He is naturally skin (^%$*&&^^) and I am naturally not.... (*&_+%&$#@)

There you have it....my organized confusion for the day. What's on your mind today?

The Burning Question....

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend with beautiful weather and lots of chocolate.

It doesn't feel like Tuesday, but it is so....it's time for the burning question.

If you could purchase one thing for your house today
without thinking about the cost...
just based off what you want....what would it be?

I would like to purchase an armoire. A grill would be nice, but I've always wanted an armoire to put my t.v. in. I don't like to see the clutter....

It's your turn to answer the question.


Congratulations Cait to for winning the Wilton "Cupcake Fun" book and my handmade apron.
