Sweeping Through Life

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Did you watch? Another show to add to my list. The new season started tonight. Wouldn't  you hate to be the first one voted off? I do not think that the judges are going to be nice this season. Can not wait to see what happens.

We have been in our home 6 years this upcoming this October. We decided that we needed to do some sprucing up of the house, so we painted the entire downstairs of our home this past weekend. I have learned through this weekend, that I do not like painting, but enjoy the results once it is done.This might be the reason why when we moved into our home, Mr. J painted every room in the house by himself except for our bedroom in which I painted.  During this process we both found out our painting strengths, such as I am the paint roller and Mr. J is the trim guy.  We had some fun while painting and paint was spilled, trim was accidentally painted, but we kept each other laughing and the conversation flowing as we grew tired of painting or maybe it was just the paint fumes getting to us. The best part, besides my home looking good, was spending time with Mr. J. Check out other Wedded Wednesday bloggers at These Prices .

I used to sing this song in high school. My high school car was sort of a hooptie. I drove a 73 Volkswagen Bug. I loved that car. Have a happy Monday.

I talked about a few months ago about how I was in the Biggest Loser competition at work. Last week was our final weigh-in and we found out the results yesterday. I was not the Biggest Loser winner, but I was in the Top 10. Yeah!! I ended up losing 11 pounds, over the 12 week period. I just watched what I ate to lose the weight. I was walking when the session started, but between the arthritis in my knees and hot, hot weather, I have not been doing a lot of that lately.  I did not totally reach my goal,but I am proud of what I accomplished and being in the Top 10.  We are starting a new session in 2 weeks and I am planning on setting another goal of 20 pounds before November. Before the next session, starts I am going to get my plan together to accomplish my new goal. At this point, for me I would be happy with any weight loss, because I just want to be healthy. Do you have any weight-loss goals? Have a good weekend.

I thought it was time to catch you up on what I have been doing the past 30 days.... Hung out all weekend with my sorority sisters at the annual NPHC weekend, which included a party walk competition in which my sorors of Sigma Gamma Rho won and picnic the following day. Hubby and I had our annual 4th of July party. We had a blast with our friends. Food and fun happened. I went with a red, white and blue theme, from red, white and blue popcorn, chocolate covered pretzels and red baked beans. Went to see the movie Eclipse. Loved it. TiVo and watched the movie, My Sister's Keeper and cried all through it. Our garden is growing well, except for a little issue from our neighborhood rabbit having a few snacks. We have actually have eaten cucumbers and some broccoli from the garden. I just can not wait for the tomatoes to be ready. Went to a National Black MBA association social with my gal pal Bev. We had fun, had some good drinks, nice cake and lovely conversation, but so...
