Check out this morning’s 30 Days post to share this week’s gifts of the body. Also, thanks for those of you who gave me feedback last night. If you haven’t yet – I would still love to hear from you. 😀

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no qualms showing the real side of Tina. For fun this Friday, grab some popcorn and sit back for some entertaining glimpses into the real me.

I’ve mentioned before that when I’m at home I live in either workout clothes or pajama/comfy clothes. Those comfy clothes I wear though? They get reused numerous days before making it into the wash. I have only one reason for why I’m not chilling in the same yoga pants and tank I had on last night – they got splattered with enchilada sauce while cooking.

Which comes to real side of Tina #2. I’m a super messy eater. You may want to reconsider ever dining with me at a blogger meet-up. I can’t guarantee you will leave stain free either. By the way – we need to schedule another Atlanta Blogger meet-up soon. Leave me a comment of any places you may want to go and I don’t mind organizing it this time. 🙂

Veggie enchiladas aren’t the only thing that can give me toots. I’m a very gassy and stinky girl. And sometimes, I take pride in the ones that shock my husband.

Another quality on par with the gas? I don’t shower every day. Today I likely won’t shower even though I went to yoga. I showered yesterday afternoon, will shower tomorrow morning, and just don’t feel like it today. 

The microwave is a good friend of mine. In fact, I nuke my oats every morning.

I have weird cleaning habits. I can go weeks without dusting or vacuuming the carpets, but must wipe down the kitchen sink after each use and clean the kitchen counters and table every day with Clorox wipes.

I don’t read much anymore. In fact, I didn’t even finish Eat Pray Love before it had to go back to the library. Which means I get to be #548095 on the waiting list again. Even knowing I have trouble finishing books now, I still will go to the library today to pick up Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I was #487524980273 on that list so I’m going to do my best to read it in two weeks. Who am I??

Consider yourselves lucky that you know me through the blog. You may not have been willing to befriend me otherwise. 😉 I take that back. We all have our quirks and dirty little secrets. Care to tell me one of yours? 😀 C’mon! I told you I get kicks off my flatulence!

Morning everyone!!! May all your dreams come true this Friday. Or at the very least, it be a good one and kick off your weekend right. 😉 In case you can’t tell, I’m still in such a good mood. I love happy days! Hehe.

Today brings us this week’s installment of the Gifts of the Body series within the 30 DSLR. Click for Part 1 and Part 2. We need to grow to appreciate every part of our bodies. We need to love them for the life they give. No part of our bodies is insignificant and we need to honor them. Find three new things to thank your body for today. Praise your body throughout the day. It truly is a blessing.

I thank my hands…

…for being able to hold little M’s hand to keep her safe. For having the ability to write/type quickly so I can do more of what I love and express my thoughts thoughts. For being able to cook healthy meals for my family, albeit not extremely well. For being able to caress my husband or rub his achy back and legs.

I thank my tongue…

…for allowing me to taste and enjoy food. And also for helping me to speak. You are one powerful muscle because I know I can talk! For the record, there are a lot of unattractive tongue images on Google!

I thank my brain…

…for my creativity and knowledge. Even though you may not be as sharp after “pregnancy brain” has hit me twice, you still do not fail me. I can still make sound decisions. You can still guide me to answers. You provide me a pathway to pursue a passion for helping others. You help me remember special moments so I can cherish them. You help me communicate in two languages (Spanish & English) and do quick math in my head with ease. You were crafted by God to make me who I am.

What of your body (inside or out) do you thank today?
