New Workout Update

I must say that my first week on my new workout plan has went quite well.  I ran 4 times this week plus did my workout on my arms and legs.  I haven't felt much soreness in my arms, but I have felt it in my legs.  I haven't been trying to do too much because I don't want to be so sore that I don't want to workout the next day.  Saturday morning I went to the golf course with Scott, and got a little workout walking around with him.  He hadn't been out there in awhile, but he actually did really good (2 pars, 2 bogeys, and 3 doubles).  A couple of the greens were under construction so he only played 7 holes.  Here's his score card:

Since I am on this whole workout kick now, I got me some workout clothes.  Now, I just need some more running shoes. 

The BET Awards is on now.  I must say that it is actually good.  I have enjoyed performances by Alicia Keys, Drake, P. Diddy, and especially Chris Brown.  You can say what you want about Chris Brown, but he can DANCE.  Any who,  Hollllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Porsche

Porsche and Me

My girl, Porsche, turned the Big Dirty, Flirty 30.  Her husband surprised her with a birthday party, and she was so surprised.  She came in with a blind fold on.  When her husband took it off, she was so shocked.  It was so funny!!!!!  Happy Birthday, Porsche, and I hope you have many more.

The King of Pop

One year today, Michael Jackson left us all.  I was just saying that it doesn't seem like MJ is gone.  It is just amazing how he affected the world.  On all the interviews, they keep asking celebrities what was their most memorable MJ moment?  Well, I remember mine.  I was about 4 or 5 years old.  I loved Michael Jackson.  I had a purple MJ nightshirt that I would sleep in all the time.  Any who, my folks were watching the Thriller video.  Of course, I wanted to watch it too since I was such a MJ fan.  Well, they let me.  Oh what a mistake!  I was so scared of Michael Jackson after seeing him look like a monster.  I remember my mom telling me that wasn't blood on all the zombies, it was ketchup....LOL  Well, I didn't wear my purple MJ nightshirt anymore after that. 

Well, I grew up and started liking Michael Jackson again.  Last year when they announced on the radio that he had went into cardiac arrest, I just thought that he would be hospitalized and come back better than ever for his upcoming concert tour.  Well, we all know what happened.  I was just in shock when I heard.  I just kept getting the "MJ has died" text all that afternoon.  I think everyone was in shock.

All week they have been showing the Jackson movie, "An American Dream" on tv.  I know Scott is tired of me watching that movie over and over again.  I just can't help it.  Any who, MJ will be missed for years to come and his music will live on forever. 

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson.

New Workout Plan

The weirdest thing happened yesterday.  I was shaking my arm to get some bbq sauce out of the bottle, and I noticed the most awful thing.  The skin on my arm was flapping.  You know that skin that flaps on some women when they are waving good-bye.  I was in awe!  So, I have put myself on a new workout plan.  Everyone raves about Michelle Obama's arms, so I said Hey, it's worth a shot!  I looked up her work out plan and plan to start it this evening.

While I am at it, I said I might as well work on my legs and glutes.  A good exercise that I have done in the past to help tone my glutes are fire hydrants.  You get on all fours, raise you leg from the hip like a dog would do to a fire hydrant.  They really work.  I just have to stay on them.

I also plan to start running again.  Cardio is pretty much the foundation of any workout plan.  The big thing about working out is wanting to see results immediately.  I am going to try really hard to stick with it, so I can see those results.  Of course, I will keep y'all up to date on my progress. 

Cakes

This is a diaper cake I made for a friend of a friend. 

This is another sports themed cake

Tonight is Game 6 of the Boston/Lakers series.  I am for the BOOOOOOSTON CELTICS!  The next 2 games are in LA, but we can do it.  If there is a Game 7, I will be on the edge of my seat the whole time.  Hopefully, there won't be. 

Well, holler at y'all later!

Fine as Wine at 29

Today is my birthday, and I turned 29. Or should I say, Fine as Wine at 29...LOL Any who, I found it very interesting that I share this birthday with Michael J. Fox and Bishop T.D. Jakes. Pretty cool if I say so myself. I got lots of text messages, e-mails, phone calls, and cards. I would like to say thank you to everyone that made my birthday so special. It's been a really good birthday.

My husband really went out of his way. He got me an Amazon Kindle. A Kindle is a wireless reading device that allows you to download books. Being that I have been an avid reader since Scooby Doo was a pup, I was ecstatic when he gave it to me. I can't wait to start reading. I have a long list of books to read. Man, I am excited just thinking about it. Here is a picture of the Kindle.

Scott also gave me some Halle Berry Pure Orchid perfume and Erykah Badu's latest cd. I told Scott that I can take a shower, put on my new perfume, and read my latest book on my Kindle while Erykah Badu plays in the background..he he he. Any who, Scott and I went to Bonefish Grill today for dinner. It was sooooooo good. We had a Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, and I had the steak with a crab cake and garlic potatoes. All I can say is YUM!

Even though I turned 29 today, everyone kept bringing up next year when I turn 30. Well, I am going to enjoy my last year in my 20's, and think about my 30's next year. I just thank God for the 29 years of life that he has blessed me with, and the family and friends that are always here for me. Thanks, Peeps!

Well, I am about to lay my 29 year old self down for the night. Until we meet again, Peace and Hairgrease!

Happy 2nd Birthday Carrigan

Little Carrigan's birthday was yesterday, but her party was Saturday. It turned out well. Carrigan is like a different little person when she gets around other little kids. She was just walking and running around, laughing, and having a good little time. The theme for the party was The Princess and the Frog. All the decorations were in purple and green. Everything came together nicely. I contributed the cake, cupcakes, cupcake stand, and tissue pom poms. The food was good too. We had jerk chicken wings, bacon-wrapped smokies, pasta salad, cheese dip, fruit, and fruit salad. Yolanda's aunt made the fruit salad, and it was sooooooooooo good. I love that stuff! Carrigan got lots of gifts of course. I swear that girl has more clothes. But all in all, Carrigan had a spectacular birthday. Happy Birthday Carrigan, and have a wonderful Terrible Two's....LOL
