I love Zumba Dance Class!!!

Tonight I went to a new workout class at the gym and loved it. It was called Zumba. Anyone ever been to one before?? At first I was trying to learn the steps and not laugh at myself for messing up but in the end it was a great workout. I burned about 400 calories which is great since I had pizza for lunch. If anyone out there has a chance to take a Zumba please do because it's a ton of fun. You won't believe how fast an hour can go by. I felt like I was back in my high school dance class all over again. So go out there and get your groove on!!

I've been tagged!

Jeri tagged me so here goes!!

6 things about me:


1. I love having my own place!!! It's super fun to decorate it but it's hard to stay with my budget.

2. I love my job being a nanny. It's soo much fun to spend my days with Finn! He is such a joy as well as his wonderful parents. I couldn't ask for better employers. Also this job is soo flexible, not sure if I could do a desk job from 8-5 everyday.

3. I think Weight Watchers is amazing!! I have lost almost 16 lbs since January. It's once of the only programs that is a life style change not a DIET. I hate that word!!

4. I love Larry North Gym!! There are soo many fun classes to take and a tons of workout equipment so I don't have to wait for one to become available.

5. I am very into reality tv: the Bachelorette, Moving Up, What Not To Wear, Trading Spaces, John and Kate Plus 8, and Biggest Loser. It's kinda out of control but that's why you have a DVR.

6. I am in the process of reorganizing my closet and trying to get rid of the clothes that I don't wear anymore. It's hard to do but I know that in the end I will be better off.

Ok I am going to tag: Brittany, Jennifer, and Tiffany. Have fun gals!!

What a deal!!!

This is for all you Dallas folks! I just love watermelons as many of you know. Living by myself I didn't want to buy a huge watermelon. I went to Sprouts Farmers Market on Marsh and Forest Ln. and found a decent size watermelon for $1.99. I was so excited to find this great deal that I thought that I'd share it with you. I think that there are other Sprouts throughout Dallas so definitely check it out.

Fun Times On Vacation!!

Awww yes I finally had a vacation that was longer than 3 days!! It was great to have some time off and get away from Dallas. The vacation started with having my parents come to visit for Memorial Day. We had such a blast! We did a little estate sale shopping on Sunday and I found a cute table to put my tv on. When we went on Sunday the tv table was on sale at 35% off. I thought that was a super deal, but I wasn't sure it was worth the price. i decided to wait and come back then next day when it would be 50% off and if was still there then I would get it. Well we went back first thing in the morning and there it was. Yea go me!!! The only bummer was to find that my battery wouldn't start on Monday so we had to head to Sam's. While we were there we found the new Hungry Girl book for $11! What a steal!

On Tuesday I went to visit my friend Jeri who has recently to Austin. We had soo much fun catching up, playing with her son Owen, and painting his room. Painting can be fun but it's hard work too. Owen is such a good baby!! He just loved to do his new tricks like roll over and suck on his toes. Here's a few pics of the cutie!




Friday one of my best friends Angela and her fiance Ryan came into town along with her parents for the weekend. It was soo fun to have them here. While they were here we got to see The Sex and the City movie. It was soo good! Here are some pics from the weekend!!

My New Addition

Hey everyone! As many of you know I moved into my apartment in October, but decorating it has taken me a while. I love love Pottery Barn but some of their stuff is just too pricey for me. I always get their catalog so I saw some plates that you can hang up as art work. I resisted buying them until they went on sale and found them this weekend. Here's a pic of them after I hung them up. Let me know what you think.




My parents came in town this weekend for Memorial Day. It was soo fun to hang out with them and my aunt and uncle. My father served in the military for a while and also recently just retired from the civil service after 35 years being a graphic artist for the government. I just want to say thanks to all those who did serve and are still serving for our country. Hope you guys had a super Memorial Day!!

It's Been A Long Time!

Ok, so it's been a few months since I've updated you all on what's been going on in my life. I've been pretty busy with work and visiting my parents back in San Antonio. Here's some pics of what's been going on.

My parents and I decided to go out to Fredricksburg on saturday before Easter. We had so much fun there visiting all the shops and best of all we got some yummy ice cream. There was also a great beading store and so I had fun making a pretty turquoise necklace. One of these days I want to try and make my own necklaces. The ladies at the beading store make it look so easy. It was such a blessing to be there with my parents on Easter. I cherish every visit we have and wish that we lived closer.

This is my Mom and I getting yummy ice cream!


This is my Dad and I trying to eat our ice cream before it melts.


I'm not a huge golf fan but my boss gave me some tickets to the Byron Nelson Golf Tournment and so my friend Dee Dee and I went. I pretty much have no clue about golf but Dee Dee was able to fill me in on some of the basics so if I'm ever asked to go and play then I won't totally make a fool out of myself. We got to walk around and check out all the fun things that they had at the tournment, but the thing we didn't get was the food. They were trying to get us to buy nachos for $12 and a Diet Dr. Pepper for $6. We decided to take a walk around and see if there was anything else to choose from. Well leave it to a resourceful woman to come upon a shopping center across from the Four Seasons Hotel (that's where the Tourn. was held) and it had cheap places to eat like Subway. We slit a foot long sub for $5, so it didn't hurt to keep looking around to see what else there was before settling on $12 nachos. All in all it was a fun night! Here's some pics!

This is me and Dee Dee while we were wondering around after to tourn. ended.


We got so close to the greens that we were able to get a pic of the scoreboard. That's pretty darn close.


Well it's getting late, gosh I feel old, so I'd better sign off for now and get some sleep.
