Happy 2012!

I get so excited about the new year – I have grand ideas, big plans and goals. Of course I forget about them approximately 6 minutes after I wake up on the first, but that’s what Mondays are for, right?

Peaches, raspberries, sugar, yummy healthy

 I took a break from working over the Christmas break, but still managed to sneak in a small project (Bonjour Farine!). I have some fun projects coming up, like the make over of my friend Rachel’s site, and a website devoted to JUST tablescapes – place settings, centerpieces, tables for all seasons and events – it’s going to be so much fun! One of my most recent clients, Shari at My Judy the Foodie will be posting her 100th post this week, and is now averaging 300 hits a day! Considering she’s only been blogging for a little over 6 months, that’s pretty fabulous!

Blissdom is also coming up soon! Once again I will be a Photography Community Leader and I am OVER-THE-MOON excited to see my favorite photographer (and mentor) Me Ra Koh there too! If you will be there, and have any questions on your camera, make sure you find me or one of the other amazing photo leaders during the conference. If you aren’t going, WHY NOT????  ;)

Did you make any resolutions? I kinda did, but only in the sense I would like to do things better – better at menu planning, taking more time to be creative, walking more, eating better…not very exciting I know, but anything that makes life a little easier, right?

PS – the photo above was my breakfast one morning – frozen peaches, raspberries…YUM!

Time to put on my big girl pants

I just joined the gym…

(Gulp)

You know what that means, right?

(it means I HAVE to go)

OTHERWISE

I will never hear the end of it…

The husband is giving me the whole “you start something and never finish it” speech

HMPF – I have NO idea what he is talking about…

um, are you LAUGHING??

Fine – I’ll show you ALL!!

BWAHAHAHAHA

Winter, are you here?

Ok, how about fall?

One thing I am not very fond of is the lack of definite seasons in California – but from what I understand, until recently, most of the country could say the same. Not anymore. Yes, it doesn’t get THAT cold during the day – 70′s, maybe touching 8o once in awhile. But the nighttime is CHILL-LAY – 50 is chilly, right?

I am trying to be good about what I eat this week – Thanksgiving notwithstanding – and while we do treat the boys to fast food every once in awhile, I try to sometimes, once in awhile, occasionally make a good choice myself. Today I took the boys to KFC, which has a Long John Silvers attached to it. I used to be a fan of the Shrimp Fish and Chicken Dinner until I read it had as many calories as you needed in a whole day in that one meal! I decided to try one of their fresh grill meals – salmon with rice and veggies:

Seriously tasty – and less than 300 calories (around 6 points if you’re a WW follower) ! Who knew the land of “oh my gosh, fried bit of batter, completely gross oh my lanta how delicious is this” could actually make something THIS healthy?

I just may get through this winter a lot bit thinner yet!
