T,

I tried taking pictures of my favorite sparkly item....but my camera makes sparkles look blurry so my pictures keep turning out horrible :(  My favorite item is a bracelet that broke and  converted into a necklace using an old pair of nylons.  I"ll try to steal someones phone to take a better picture.  In the meantime though, I saw you posted some pictures of yummy nom noms you made so I'm going to post some pictures of what I've had recently.

I used green beans, carrots, celery, onions and potatoes with some rice to make a healthy soup

I went to Panera and got a yummy spinach salad with a broccoli and cheddar soup....It was SO good and a perfect little lunch on a chilly day.

Ok, this looks kinda gross but it was really good!!  Green beans, edamame, kale and rice with soy sauce.

I'm trying to be a little healthier in my eating habits.  It was going well until I got Girl Scout cookies...I think cheating with the cookies is acceptable though because I'm helping a little girl reach her sale goals.  Remember when we use to sell GS cookies?  We were a killer sales team!!!!

I feel like I'm getting sick so I'm taking it easy and drinking tea.  I'm also trying to quit smoking this week.  I've gone 24 hours without smoking so fingers crossed I stick with it this time.  It's so hard!!  I definitely think that surrounding myself with people who don't smoke is helpful though and also having a goal in mind....My new goal is to be able to go running with one of my best friends.  She's really motivating me to get off my ass and get in shape.  I'm lucky to have such good friends who support me being healthy<3

That's it for now.

Miss you!

xoxo
