a few random thoughts

I can't believe it's already Saturday and that I'm 3 days away from getting on a plane to Vegas! Yay! I purchased our tickets for Disneyland (thanks to the awesome deal for military) and I'm even more excited now. 

I had plans to go to the gym this morning but thanks to doing 2 days in a row of this:


I am HURTING!!! It hurts to walk up and down the stairs haha. It's an amazing workout and works muscles that I didn't even know I had. If you have a kinect I highly recommend it. On top of going to the gym I will be doing this 3-4 times a week.

For the last few weeks I have been searching for new canisters for the kitchen but everywhere I went I couldn't find what I wanted and everything was so expensive. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and hit the jackpot. Not only did they have what I wanted but they were 50% off! I got all 4 for $11:


Love them!

I do have plans today to break out my non-existent crafty side haha....thanks to a fellow wonderful blogger she gave me an idea to make resin coaster out of beer bottle caps. Kyle has just enough for me to make 2. I am so excited and can't wait to post pictures (well that is if they turn out good).

I hope you all have a great Saturday!

  11. Hello Jen,

    It is difficult to find just the right canister set. This class set looks great on you counter.

    I know that hurting feeling; I have done that to myself several different times. Once it was so bad I had a difficult time simply stepping up onto a curb. I felt like such an old lady!

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog to say “Hello” today!

    Happy Saturday!
    :) Hope

  12. Disneyland...how fun!!! I'm trying to convince DH to go in a couple of months.
    A couple of years back I bought that UFC training for the Wii and it froze at the same spot every single time. So , I returned it and hoped it was just a glitch on the DVD and the same thing happened again. So, I tried on a friends Wii and the same thing. Sad to say that I returned. Let me know how you like it!
