Beats...
Thursday, August 29, 2013
A quick post cause I am in the midst of making supper...
After about 5 months of walking sans music, I discovered iTunes...(I am way behind the times) and I now share the ipod with N....anyways, the earbuds that came with the ipod SUCKED for me...they wouldn't stay in my ears, and I spent a lot of my workout trying to stuff them back into my ears.. and then I found these...
Beats by Dr. Dre
Now there are so many types of Beats (there is an actual one for sports that clips over your ear) but these ones are perfect for me! Yes, they were a little pricey, but I got them at walmart, and I was fine with the price I paid....gotta have great tunes and SOUND while i'm working out!

Love and Other Drugs
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
I found a copy of Love and Other Drugs (starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway) the other day at Walmart in the $5 movie bin (told ya I am cheap ;) )...I fell in love with Jake when I saw him in End of Watch last year...but really hadn't seen him in anything else. I am a sucker for a love story, so after reading the back of the movie, I figured it was a great story...and even if it sucked, well, at least I got some eye candy.
It turned out to be rated R ( on the back of the box it says 13+) therefore a little racy, but super cute story line! Boy is a player, boy meets girl, and they, um, play. Boy starts to fall for girl, but girl reveals she is sick. ...I wont tell too much, but it was indeed a love story! Annnddd ya get to see Jakes bare bum! Check out the trailer...

So, if youre looking for a movie to watch sometime soon, (even though Im a little behind on my movies - this one is from 2010 or something like that) I highly recommend this one...sans kiddies though! Enjoy! (oh and forgive the lack of punctuation today...my cat stepped on my keyboard and messed it up! My apostrophes look like this : รจ .....)

time of my life
Friday, August 23, 2013
I've always been a deep thinker...an analyzer...and I've found in the past 10 years or so, I tend to think 'what if...' a lot... Not really in a regretful way, just a deep in thought sorta way where I wonder things like 'what if I had had good skin in highschool? ' (I was the definition of acne) Would I have at least gone on one frigging date? Would I have been popular? (not that I minded my group of friends...remember, I think these 'what ifs' in a way that isn't full of regret)... to things a little more deep, like, ' What if I hadn't married S? Where would I be right now?' My wheels are always turning, thinking...perfectly fine with the Good Lord chose for me, but, always curious.
Which leads me to this.... N and I went to the library last week for like, the first time in a year...I had let our card expire because I am terrible at bringing the books back on time...and late fees were getting a little annoying :s Anyways, I decided we'd try the library again, and I made myself promise that'd I'd bring the books back on time...I even asked my MOM to send me a reminder when the time comes near...lol...So N and I went to the library (jeesh I'm terrible at getting off track..), he got his books and a wii game, and I took one last look at the books, and totally judged one book in particular by its cover...It has a girl on the front blowing a pile of snow from her hands...never heard of the author before, but I added it to my pile.....without reading anything that the book was about....
Fast forward a few days, and I finally got a chance to sit and read it while the daycare kids were either sleeping or watching a movie...and holy crap it's about a woman, my age, who sits in her car one day, thinking 'what if' ...and wakes up the next morning 5 years in the past!...So I won't get into too much detail in case you want to read the book, but it's totally cool because she is now faced with the dilemma of does she want to change her future by changing the past, or will she choose the same paths so her life brings her back to where she left off? I am a little over half way through the book, but I am loving it! ...
Annnddd now I ask myself THIS, and analyze THIS...WHY the hell did I pick THIS book, out the whole library? Coincidence? Fate? Irony laughing in my face? Whatever it is, it scares me...
Check it out at the book depository (they have free shipping!!)

What's On Your Playlist?
Monday, August 19, 2013
Music is what keeps me going during a workout (and by workout, I mean a super speed walk around the neighbourhood or an awesome 500 calorie burn on the treadmill)... Without the ipod, the workout is torture...and I miss it every second weekend when N takes it to his dad's house...nevertheless , I still do the workout, but it's brutal. My bf lent me his iphone once to listen to some music, and I honestly nearly fell asleep during the walk....I need fast paced music...and swoony country music just didn't work for this gal!
What's on your playlist? Here's mine...and don't make fun of it! ;)
1. Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber
2. Pop by Nsync ...(this song motivates me the best of them all!)
3. Bop by Dan Seals
4. Let's Hear it for the Boy by....? (footloose soundtrack)
5.Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera (sp?)
6. Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake
7. Gonna Be Me by Nsync
8.Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Levato
9. Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus
10. Never Say Never by JB
11.Step by Step by New Kids on the Block
12. Summertime by New Kids on the Block
13.We're Here for a Good Time by Terri Clark
14.Move This by Technotronic
...and there ya have it....the list that helped me lose 30 lbs ;)
