tip of the week..
Rubber band Coat hangers:
If you have too many coat hangers without the little 'hooks' on them for tank tops n such, just use rubber bands! Wrap a rubber band on the ends of a regular coat hanger, and voila! Nothing will slide off!
Ps. was trying out new backgrounds and liked this one for now. It's kinda creepy looking and it reminds me of a horror movie, so perfect for Halloween. Plus, I can't get my background back.. so yeah. Wish me luck trying to find another cute background.

SO stinkin tired today! I haven't read yet, I am going to the library this morning to get Don Quixote. But I am going out tonight with a friend to see Life As We Know It, and I am very excited. It looks adorable! I need a couple of extra shots of espresso this afternoon to get me through the movie. I will let you know how the movie is

100 books in a year?! Wicky what??!!
As a goal to myself for the next year, I will be reading The Novel 100: The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time.
I decided to go with this link instead of TIME's version, cause there were a couple books on that list that I hated the movies they made out of them. Example.. Atonement. Hated it.
So starting today I will be reading #1 on the list :Don Quixote. Have you heard of this book before? I haven't. But all the sites that I went to, all say that this is the best novel of all time. It better not disappoint then! I barely have time to read, but I am going to try! I can read while nursing and I can strap the kiddos in the stroller and read while walking. I do that a lot. People look at me strange, I think it's a great idea! Hitting 3 birds with 1 stone! Getting kids fresh air, your walking, and reading!
Back on track... I will let you know how the book is once I am done. Hopefully in 2 weeks.
Join me if you like!

30 day Shred..
Thanks to Megan, I am starting this video, Jillian Michaels, 30 day shred. I started it on Monday, and after the second warm up, I needed a break. Cut me some slack! I haven't done jumping jacks in a long time!
But after I forced myself to continue, I loved it! I wanted to do it again that night! But I thought that it might kill me. I want to start logging in my progress on here to keep me accountable.
So I started on Monday Oct. 4. Yesterday I didn't get a chance to do it, but Tim and I wrestled around the whole house for 20 mins. So since I missed, I am saying that I started yesterday, Oct. 5. I will do this video everyday until Nov. 5. Lemme just be honest here. I ate close to a full batch of brownies yesterday. No joke. I couldn't stop myself! I ate them through the night, every time I got up to feed! I am confessing because I need to feel worse about this. But back to the video.. I used 8 lb. weights cause they were the only ones I had.. it was hard! Also, I suggest that you don't do the video if you are heavily on your period like I am ( grrr) or have a chest full of milk. ouch! And you do sweat hard, so don't do it after a shower.
Ok. enough talking...
Oct. 5 2010 - 164lbs.
Yes I did just tell you my weight. Remember before you think ( fatty!), that I had 2 babies within 22 months and I LOVE to eat! I will weigh in on Monday and we will see if it starting to take an effect. Besides that brownie sin, I am TRYING to eat a whole lot better. I am trying to skip a lot of carbs and NO MORE CANDY/DESSERTS!!! But honestly, I can't go too crazy because I am still breastfeeding and NEED lots of carbs.
So there it is.
Try the video!!!
