I'm lovin' it.

I really loathe McDonald's as everyone in my family knows (another story for another day...but probably not). I mean every once in awhile I might get just a plain cheeseburger from there and by every once in awhile, I mean once every few years.

Anyway, after I dropped Will off at PDO this morning I had a few minutes to kill before my workout and I remembered that I hadn't eaten breakfast. A donut (or two) crossed my mind, but I was on my way to workout so that just didn't seem quite right.

I have no idea how this happened, but the McDonald's parfait popped into my head. My mom told me about it a long long time ago. So of course I pulled up my new app Lose It! on my handy dandy iphone just to make sure there weren't a ton of calories...only 156 with granola! The thought of fruit from McDonald's did make me want to gag a little bit, but I thought I might as well try it out. To my surprise, it was really quite good and only $1.08 with tax! And the fruit was actually frozen fruit...which didn't taste as good as fresh fruit, but I'm thinking that it tasted better than "fresh" fruit from McDonald's would have tasted. To say "I'm lovin it" might be a stretch, but for a McDonald's hater like myself to say it was good, is saying a lot!

Oh, and if you have an iphone you must install the Lose it! app. It's awesome!! You can keep track of your food and exercise...and it already has every food on there (even the McDonald's parfait!). I've been meaning to install it, but just remembered last night and I just think it is great already. It even lets you set your goal and figures out your allowed calories in a day in order to meet your goal. If you go over, it tells you and highlights the number in red. I think this could really motivate me.

In other news, we are moving in about a week and a half! Our house is SOLD and we should be closing on our new house Monday! I should probably start packing now....

Paint Colors

These are the two main paint colors we are thinking about for our new house...


This one is called Ivoire and it's like a light light gold. I think we would use this for most of the rooms (yes, I know we're boring).


This one is called Hearts of Palm. I want this for the kitchen for sure and then maybe the dining room.

I'm trying to decide what to do for Will's room. I kind of just want to do the Ivoire and then just decorate it with cute stuff. Blue seems sort of typical for a boys room. But let me know if you have any great ideas....I haven't even looked at new bedding for him or anything (I think we will be moving him out of the crib when we move to the new house).

Also, I am now thinking about wallpaper for the bathrooms. They already have wallpaper and I was originally thinking we would just paint them...but they would need texture too and that gets expensive. I know I've seen some fun wallpaper in magazines...does anyone know of any websites I could look at?

By the way, the paint colors are from Sherwin Williams and you make those cool rooms on their website. Chris and I have had some fun with it (mainly Chris).

Smart Boy

Last night I was in the office while Will and Chris were playing with Hot Wheels. Chris bought him a little plastic track recently that you can add on to and Will loves it. Apparently, Will kept running over to hug and kiss Chris and then he would go back to playing for a few minutes and then do it again. I kept hearing Chris say things like: "awwww Will, you are so sweet....I love you so much...you are such a good boy." After 10 or 15 minutes of this, it had been quiet for a few minutes and then I hear Chris say, "You wanna go to Toys R Us tonight and buy another track?" I guess it doesn't take very long to learn how to get what you want!

Guess Who

If you watch the Bachelor, you should be able to figure out who this is!

Open House

After having two offers fall through, we are still trying to sell our house and we thought we would do an open house this weekend before we list it through our realtor next week. So if you know someone that is looking for a house, tell them to go to the website - www.mynewhouse2009.com for all the info and then come by for the open house this weekend!

4th Picture

Kristen tagged me. Here's how it works:

1. Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on the computer.
2. Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same
5. No cheating. (cropping, editing, etc)

I don't really have a 4th folder...well I do, but it just led to more folders and eventually to a folder that only had one picture of someone random. Our organization on the computer is a little crazy. So I decided to do the 4th set in flickr instead...



I don't think there is anything to explain so I will just say what a cutie my little baby boy was and he is so much bigger than that now. :(

I tag Amanda, Angela, Kenley, & Stacee.

I need a girl....

But since I don't have one, all of you that have girls must go buy this stuff and then give it to me when your girls have outgrown it. Hopefully I will have a girl by that time. :)
