Day just improved by INFINITY!
Our sweet little Kennel Assistant just walked in with a HUGE bag of homemade tamales for all of us!
HOMEMADE TAMALES!!!!!!!!!
She comes from a big Mexican family and (from what I’ve heard) they are incredible cooks. So I can’t wait to try these things!

Beware: KT Tape will end happy marriages.
If you’re not familiar with KT Tape, it’s a sticky tape that can be applied to the body in many different, complicated patterns to ease pain and/or prevent injury.
See:
I’ve tried to help Jeremy apply the tape twice now. And I’ve never felt more like hurling him off a cliff than in those moments. (And he’d probably say the same about me.)
There are videos on the...

I'm Google-Images famous!
My friend just alerted me to some very important information.
And IT’S TRUE! And strange!
So if you’re bored…go see if you can find me.
Hint #1. You don’t have to scroll down far.
Hint #2. I’m not wearing a Newsie cap!
Hint #3. My hair is MUCH longer than it is now.

Things I don't understand and refuse to accept.
While we were in New Zealand we didn’t have a CD player in the car so we listened to the radio ALL. THE. TIME.
We heard lot’s of American music but were also exposed to artists we’d never heard before. I grew to really love some of them and made a list of my favorites.
Well, I received a plethora of iTunes cards from my lovely family for Christmas, so I went forth to download...

Lazy Wednesday!
I have spent my entire afternoon off lounging around, reading my new book and napping. The dogs have been completely content to join me in this effort of non-effort.
I have a ton of house cleaning/organizing that needs to be done. But I figure it can wait till next year. ;)
I do have a Zumba date with my Mom in a couple hours. But until then…back to my book.
aprilkristin asked: So I really love the Zumba gear you got for Christmas! Do you know where Jeremy ordered it? I'm guessing there's a main Zumba website but maybe there are other places that sell the clothing (that might be fairly cheap? haha)

Zumba gear
Better pictures of what Jeremy got me for Christmas! :)
I LOOOOOVE the sweatshirt! I doubt I’ll ever Zumba in it - I get way too hot too fast! - but I’m gonna wear it all the time! In fact I’m planning on wearing it tonight. :) (You can’t tell in the picture, but the lettering is sparkly!!)
The tank is made from a thick, form-fitting material and at the moment, I...

Where it stands.
Going into a new year makes everyone reevaluate their goals, swear to do better and try harder in the coming year. I’m no different!
2011 was a fantastic year…and even pretty great fitness wise. I lost a decent amount of weight and managed to maintain a year round gym schedule for the first time in my LIFE. (Thanks almost entirely to Zumba!) I’ve never stuck with any form of...

Oh my.
The audible moans and groans that are coming out of my husband are NOT an enticing advertisement for the runner’s lifestyle. ;)
Poor guy, he said he’s never been more physically exhausted. That’s after 17 miles…we’re both a tad worried about what the full marathon in February is going to do to him!! :^o

Merry Post-Christmas! :)
Do y’all have a junk food hangover? I sorta do too, but don’t feel too bad. I mean, I indulged yesterday but I listened to my poor tummy and didn’t push past full into vomit-land. ;)
And I’m very excited because I have the day off today! So I’m doing a Cardio Craze class this morning then Zumba tonight. Whoop whoop! :) It’s not the 17 miles that my amazing...

Dear Santa, I only want 2 things for Christmas…a slim body and a fat bank account. Please do not get them confused like you did last year. Thanks.

Who's this girl?
Who’s excited about going to the gym on Christmas Eve? I AM! Only one Zumba class this morning because of the holiday but I wouldn’t miss it!!
Then it’s wrapping, wrapping, wrapping, whipping up a few Christmas treats and hopefully watching some Christmas movies before heading to church this evening with my family.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

AND THE WINNER IS!!!!!
I just used a random drawing doohickey to pick a winner for my calendar giveaway! First of all, let me say that I was so excited by the interest you all showed - I’m honored! It reinforced that I was doing the right thing…you were all way more interested in it than I think anyone in my “real life” would be. LOL
OK, that being said…I am VERY pleased to announce that...

Let's talk: Embarrassing Christmas music
Just now, “Warm & Fuzzy” by Billy Gilman came on my iPod.
BILLY GILMAN! Do you remember him? I wasn’t even a fan, but for some reason I liked that “Warm & Fuzzy” song. LOL
(Speaking of young Mr. Gilman, have you seen him lately?
And now you feel old.)
I also have the entire Clay Aiken Christmas album. (HE SHOULD HAVE BEAT RUBEN! I’ll go to my grave...
