1. My daughter is officially a mini-me.

We went to a play center today with friends and she became obsessed with this cute little kiddie treadmill. “Just like mommy!” was repeated over and over with a huge smile. Make. My. Heart. Melt! Although oddly enough I cannot remember a time she has ever seen me on a treadmill???

2. Gabriela’s Super-Charge Me Cookies really are amazing.

I received my Blogger Gift Exchange package from my “Secret” Santa, Gabriela from Une Vie Saine. She was the one randomly selected as my partner and I was thrilled to see all the goodies she sent. Super-Charge Me Cookies, Trader Joes Cranberry Apple Butter, and even a special gift for Makenzie – a puzzle. She loves puzzles!

3. Allie’s pumpkin granola is also amazing.

And will be making an appearance tomorrow in my morning bowl of oats. Likely with some Cranberry Apple Butter. I’m already salivating. Thanks, Allie!!

4. So. Much. Pain!

Obviously, I tweeted that earlier. No, it did not mean I was in labor. It was just a rough day physically with back and hip pain.

5. My morning devotional started my day on the right note. What a powerful quote…

WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE JOYFUL!

6. Peter is off work for the rest of the week. Yay for some extra help! And super yay for some fun we will be having tomorrow – a Trader Joes excursion!

7. Super sweet reader emails rock my world. You know who you are and I want to say once again how much your kind words meant to me. The support given and received through blogging makes every part of it worthwhile.

8. I have fallen in love with TweetDeck.

At first, I didn’t think I could get used to it. I adapted quickly and it makes using Twitter so much easier!

9. I will be hosting the Fit Blog Chat next Tuesday night.

Go ahead and put it on your calendar. The topic will be about motivation for goals, the use of numbers, and more.

10. I have a giveaway for a case of Chobani going on right now!

Question of the night – what are your top recommendations for Trader Joes purchases? Or share a tidbit from your day!

Don’t ask what got into me. I just had the sudden urge to do this little “game”. The ABC’s of me – one word for each letter that I would choose to describe myself.

A is for Athletic.

B is for Balanced Blogger. Oh! Double points!

C is for Culinary. …… hahahahahahaha!!!!!! Yeah, right.

D is for Determined.

E is for Everythingtarian (a la Holly)

F is for Fit.

G is for Genuine.

H is for Hopeful.

I is for Insightful.

J is for Jesus Freak. I just think that’s a funny term. But, don’t worry. My car does not look like this…

K is for Klutzy. Ain’t that the truth?

L is for Listener. Although I can talk your ear off too.

M is for Mother.

N is for Nice.

O is for Optimistic.

P is for Pregnant…or Phat.

Q is for Quirky.

R is for Rare. There is only one me and that is pretty awesome.

S is for Sweet-tooth. The most gigantic sweet-tooth ever!

T is for Teacher.

U is for Understanding.

V is for Veracious. Veracious means bluntly honest. You betcha. Especially on things like pregnancy, fitness, and my emotions.

W is for Whooty. That would be “white girl with a booty” and a term of endearment between my sister & I.

X is for Xcited for the weekend. I had to do the lame way. I’m not a xylophone after all.

Y is for Young. I’m the young one in our group of friends…one of the only ones under 30. Boo yah!

Z is for Zealous. I’m full of zealous passion for my hopes and dreams.

What words would you use to describe yourself? And I would still love for you to weigh-in on the discussions earlier about binge eating, relationships, and fat talk with friends.
