Everybody's workin' for the weekend...... and it will be here and gone! We have lots to do this weekend so I am sure it will go very fast.

Last night we took Piper to the park again...she was so excited when we pulled in to the parking lot and she realized where we were at! Her and I played while Steve went and rode the trails again. It works out so nice. He gets his ride in and we get to play! It was nice at the park last night... the weather wasn't the greatest so there wasn't many hillibillies there! She played on the stuff and hit the swing several times. I love spending that time with her. I can't believe how many people though come and don't keep track of their kids there. Just amazes me!

After the park we went to Arby's to eat. I was starvin' by time we got there so I was ready to eat everything on the menu. I have been walking/running my butt off the last several weeks (see the miles marker on the side) and when I weigh myself the scales ain't movin' for shit! Of course I haven't changed my eating habits a ton - but I have made several changes. (hence not much PEPSI damn it!) So, I go for a run/walk again last night -especially after the chicken bacon swiss from Arby's! I am complaining to the hubby this morning and he tells me he didn't lose weight when he started running too. WTF???? I am doing this to be healthier yes BUT alittle weight loss would be nice......... but he then informs me that my fat is turning to muscle and muscle weighs more - so just be patient - the weight loss will come. Then I put on my jeans and they are loose. THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT BABY!! Ok - I am happy (for now)

I have a couple of good books coming soon. I ordered Gorgeously Green: 8 Simple Steps to an Earth-Friendly Life (Paperback)by Sophie Uliano (Author), Julia Roberts (Foreward) and COLOR CODE, THE: A REVOLUTIONARY EATING PLAN FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH. I hope they are both filled with lots of information I am looking for! The color code one will be interesting with as much fruits and veggies that Piper likes. From a little glimpse at that book there is some sort of diet in there that helps with getting the vitamins from all the different colors. I will have to let you all know how the pan out.

We have the big kids EVERY Friday this month. With our normal weekends and the holiday weekend and the overnight we got for Mother's Day - we have them every Friday in May..... man I better hit the liquor store. Steve asked me the other night if I was ready and I told him no. But this will be a good workout for the summer vacation which isn't far away! I already know my mother's day present. A kick ass pair of running shoes! Can't wait to get them and break them in!

Remember - Fat & Skinny Tire Festival in Winona Lake this weekend if you want something fun to do. Plus I heard that Sol Fest is going on this weekend. It's usually at Fox Island. A cool thing to go check out - both fun if the weather is nice!

Light bulbs were on my Wal-Mart list this weekend. In reviewing my selection, the normal pack of 40 Watters was $1.88, but GreenWeber was tapping on my shoulder and I vowed for the energy efficient pack at $5.88. The EE kind only use 9 watts of energy, last for like a million hours and are suppose to save me $31 in energy cost per bulb - sweet! Thanks for the tip!

I am going to have to treat you to Coney Island with all of that savings!

Cool deal for you! Also, remember not only are you going to save money - but you are helping save the world! And doing good things for the children that will be living long on this earth when we are gone!
