Media Buttons
Hello Ladies! And maybe a gent? But I doubt it. If ya are a dude, I'd love to know..
Anywho, you may or may not have noticed the addition to new media buttons over yonder
<---------.
They are FREE and fabulously made by The Academy. Check out the blog to get them!
I'm a little tech savvy but not good enough. I use to play around with MySpace when I was what 12? My HTML coding was better at that time then it is now, how sad. Since I needed a bit o' help I was lead to this blog, Primp My Blog and I was helped right along.
Now you guys don't have to live without me when I'm inabloggingslump too busy to blog.

February 8 - 19
Day 8: The Sun
Day 9: Front Door
Day 10: Self Portrait. I'll admit it, I SUCK at taking my own pictures. I'm never allowed to :\
Day 11: Something that makes me happy. Hubby doing a puzzle, which is something he never does cuz he cant sit still long enough.
Day 12: Inside of my closet.
Day 13: Blue. Our new shower curtain. I'm in love!
Day 15 & 16: Phone and Something New.
Those magnificent pink pants are new and ultra comfy and then there is my phone...
Ummm.. the pants were only $7 and they are perfect for my job.
Day 17: Time. I only work early one day a week and this was it.
Day 18: Drink. I tried a new Starbucks drink. It's a black and white mocha. Half regular mocha half white mocha. It takes some of the sweetness out of the white mocha so its perfect for me.
Day 19: Something you hate to do. Do you see that clutter?! Towels that need to be put away and all my little sorted piles that need to be organized. Ugh.
I know I'm a bit late posting these but again, I'm blogging when I can. I've worked about 50 hours overtime this month so I'm a wee bit exhausted. I'll catch up eventually, bear with me!

Green Monsters, Ahh!
Lame title, I know. I was a 90's kids, whaddya want from me?
In an effort to up my protein intake and cut down on some bad carbs, I 'm now making different variations on the Green Monster Smoothies. The Magic Bullet blender has become my BFF in the mornings.
.jpg)
My Green Monster this morning had a few different ingredients than I've used in the past. The common ingredient is always spinach, and I HATE SPINACH! The beauty of it is that you don't taste it.
This was the mix today:
1 handful baby spinach *20 cal
1 frozen banana *105
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder *70
1 TBSP organic peanut butter *105
1 C. Acidophilus Milk *130
( regular milk would be fine too, or Almond Milk)
1 container Activia Light vanilla yogurt *70
This is a really thick shake compared to my other ones. It's got the benefits of spinach & bananas plus the protein from the powder and the yogurt. The live cultures from the yogurt and the Acidophilus milk plus the good fat from the peanut butter. It may be a higher calorie option but oh so worth it.
The whole shake is 500 calories, but I don't normally get through the whole thing.
I've also used this recipe:
1 handful baby spinach *20 cal
1 frozen banana *105
1/2 C coconut water *30 cal
1/2 C orange juice * 55 cal
fill the remaining space with ice
*210 calories total
or
1 handful baby spinach *20 cal
1 frozen banana *105
1/2 C orange juice * 55 cal
1/2 C Mango nectar *80
fill the remaining space with ice
*260 calories total
The possibilities are endless! Seriously I have frozen strawberries, ground flax, pineapple nectar, coconut oil and a whole bunch of other things to try in them because they have all been good so far!

Our Valentines Story
Our standing Valentines tradition is a little lack luster. We are not the normal couple to spend money on jewelry, flowers, and expensive over crowded dinners. I'm not knockin' other peoples V-Day plans but for me and the hubs it ain't worth it.
This year I did at least something fun. I filled Mr. P's Den with three dozen balloons. We also have a standing joke about a rather large teddy bear ( don't ask ) so he got a large teddy balloon too.
As well as a smaller teddy bear and a fun cowboy themed card. For some reason I'm a big card giver. I think that's the least you can do on a holiday or special occasion, ya know?
If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you already saw my gift. I got new towels from Mr. P. He obviously knows the way to my heart. AND I got a cast iron griddle for the stove.
To finish off the night we ordered our traditional Stuffed Crust Pizza and watched TV. Yup. No razzle dazzle for us. Just another Tuesday. What other reason do we need?
So What! Wednesday
.... I just googled how to bake a potato. I'm a baker not a cook.
...I've gained three lbs back cuz I fell off the weight loss train. After losing 20lbs, 3 should be easy.
...I REALLY want to call out sick from work. Pretty Please? But my morals wont let me. DANG!
...I ordered boots for the Boston trip before we even bought the plane tickets. ( & UPS just delivered them as I'm writing this post and I luuurrve them cuz my calves actually fit into them like normal peoples would)
...I don't really like bacon. Yup, thats right I am not a bacon wrapped anything fan.
...if I stayed up reading Misha Collins tweets from the past year cuz' they were funny.
..if I'm going to post about our abnormal yet normal-for-us V-Day after this!

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Morning Ya'll!
I'm trying to figure out why I'm obsessed with getting a Gold Starbucks card. Why!? This year the hubs and I are trying to save money yet I'm spending it on over priced yet oh-so-good coffee.
I'm using my key chain card just to rack up the little stars on the Starbucks App until they reach 30. At 30 I become a "gold" member. But why this foolish expenditure just to get a free drink after every 15. FIFTEEN!
Right now I only need 4 more stars to reach gold level so I'll probably reach my goal within the next week or two. If this south FL weather stays in the low 50s, maybe faster. Can we say hot chocolate with a double shot? It's so good!
Can anyone explain whats wrong with me?!

Menu Monday
Hi Loves!
Welcome to another Menu Monday: Pinterest Edition. The past week or two I haven't gotten to cook much. I've been swamped with work. This past weekend we had our first competition since October. Saturday was a stress filled 12.5 hour day.We did OK. We didn't rock it like I wanted to, but we got 2nd place in every level.
Sunday was spent being half lazy. I saw half cuz I did some laundry, vacuumed the floors and did a little shopping. I finally found a quilt for our guest room. Score! It's sad that the quilt was my victory of the weekend and not the competition from Saturday. Oh well. Then Sunday night the hubs and I had our Valentines Day dinner. We tried a new place by our house and it was ahhhh-mazing. It's a tiny little hole in the wall place but it was so frickin' good. Then we came home and watched the Walking Dead. Cuz' it wouldn't be us if zombies weren't involved right?!
On to the decadent breakfast menu!
Since I haven't cooked much lately I'm throwing in some breakfast foods. I've made both of these are they are fabulous!
Glazed Cinnamon Sugar Scones
Pumpkin Nutella Swirl Cake

Menu Monday... well Tuesday
It's Menu Tuesday this week. I was too heartbroken over the Patriots loss Sunday night to post yesterday. =/
DIY peanut oat bars.
They are sooo yummy and a great grab and go snack. They are made with peanuts, peanut butter, coconut oil, flax, honey and oats.
French Dip Sandwiches.
I made mine just like the recipe except I used a bottle of beer instead of red wine.
So warm and stick to your bones good.
February Photo-a-Day Challenge
1. My view today: This is my drive to work. It's pretty with the pal trees. :)
2. Words: I didn't pick a saying or a poster for this one. I chose the writting on the website for the shoes that I'm currently obsessing over and want to buy.
3. Hands: Showin off my purty' wedding' ring.
4. A stranger: I didnt take this photo. The only strangers I saw that day were at my gym and thats just creepy and wrong to take pictures of random people in a kids place. Or the people were at the movie theater where my Mom & I went. Kinda hard to sneak in a photo in a theater.
5. 10 am: Dog bone peices on the floor, laundry to be done, and a house to be cleaned.
6. Dinner. I was lucky to make it in the door last night with food. We ate chick-fil-a. I was soo tired and sick I came in, ate, and went to bed. Sorry no photo here either.
So far I suck at this photo a day stuff. At least I made 4 out of 6. Fingers crossed I make better luck with the next 6.
