i was a tad indecisive.
i’m in love with all my essie colors (and i have an unreasonable amount).
so why not have some variety and a flow of color?
too much? mom thinks i look like an easter egg. i <3 the blue the most.
you?

ps - i use these all the time! brightens any color with a little glitter
pss – i wish i could find “navigate her”

i read this a few times as i follow ruth’s blog i kissed my date goodnight.
even mbk sent it to me!
it’s a must read even if you’re not in a relationship, just gotten out of one, etc – but if you just need to be reminded that something great can be right around the corner.
these amazing pictures are from the post on monday, april 2nd – don’t forget the tulips.
they definitely inspired me….

i am completely obsessed with kashi’s GOLEAN original cereal.
Staying committed to healthy eating and exercise isn’t easy. That’s why we developed our GOLEAN® cereals, to be an easy part of your commitment to a healthier leaner you.
Kashi® GOLEAN® cereal is a lightly sweetened mix of crunchy fiber twigs, crispy soy protein grahams, and honey-toasted 7 Whole Grains and Sesame Puffs. You’ll feel great knowing that you are treating yourself right and enjoying it.
GOLEAN cereal helps you stay satisfied all morning* with more than twice the protein and fiber of the average of other cereals.** Just one serving supplies 40% of your daily fiber needs and 20% of your daily protein needs.
- 13g Protein
- 10g fiber
- Low in Fat—1g
- 8g of whole grains
i have a cup of the cereal in the morning with pomegranate greek yogurt – depending on what the grocery store has, i buy either chobani non-fat pomegranate or yoplait greek non-fat cherry/pomegranate yogurt. i do prefer the yoplait (they are not endorsing me) – i think it’s the pom seats in the bottom to give a bit more crunch!
this is a staple for your health diet (in my opinion and keeps me full until lunch). i often switch between this and the glucerna shakes i have blogged about previously.

so mkb introduced me coastal glasses and contacts.
they are cheap and have a zillion different styles. since i can’t wear my contacts very much anymore – this is perfect for me, as it’s like shoes and purses, i get bored easily, so switching my glasses daily is great.
when i went home a few weeks ago, i had my black cat eye frames on (baby thomas happens to like these) – jasmine thought i looked funny. now that i think of it, baby thomas probably does too but his lack of communication skills prevents him from being honest.
no big deal right?
well, we were at dinner and jasmine asked me if i knew i had a times sign on the front left corner of my frames…
and that there was a division sign on the other side of my frames.
she giggled and started to laugh. she then told me that on each side of the frame had an equals sign!
i told her she was lying. she giggled some more which then proceeded to get my brother going in making fun of me.
apparently, i’m not to observant when it comes to my glasses which is ironic bc i need to see.

i have been trying so hard to stop drinking diet coke, diet pepsi or any soda for that matter – only because i feel better when i don’t have all that crap running through my veins.
so obviously, i needed to start drinking more h2o. got some low-cal crystal light and that’s been helping. but…i have this thing for carbonation. i know it’s not the best for you but it fills my stomach up and so i’m not hungry.
i found (thanks oprah) a new tool called the twist and sparkle by iSi. you can carbonate anything really (ok, not milk – yuck) but tons of stuff and all you need is the fizzier and co2 cartridges. i fizzed pom juice, grapefruit juice, and just plain h2o.
fizzer wand. insert the co2 cartridge inside and it’s ready to go.
put want on special bottle and twist. it should start to fizz!
just don’t over fill the beverage or it will be like that coke and mentos commercial.
once it has stopped fizzing you can remove the want, wash off and dry the wand by hand – no dishwasher.
then throw away the co2 cartridge.
a few hints (i’m no expert):
1. the iSi co2 cartridges are a bit pricey so i by the generic ones and have no problems.
2. i got a great deal by purchasing my iSi and co2 on amazon.
3. you have to hand wash the bottles. i’d buy two extra so you can keep two in the fridge with cold water before you fizz. obviously this is all up to you.
don’t forget to check out the demo video below or on their site:

two weekends ago i got to take a little trip to my home state of wisconsin.
i saw my brother, sister-in-law and the cutest 10 year in the world.
i went to nolan’s 4th birthday party (my dear friend amy and dave’s CUTE kido) at his parrrrty in the atrium at lambeau field.
of course i was the “dd” for several friends (or just one) who shall be unnamed.
i received beyond fascinating text messages – never in my life…wow. no one will ever see these – i don’t even have them.
i hit some of the really old hang outs to catch up with pulaski alum who i hadn’t seen in ages.
and i finally got to see my sweet friend amy who recently lost her husband (who was my brother’s age).
i do have to confess, it was the first time since my dad passed (13 years ago) that i didn’t nearly pass out from an anxiety attack just being in town. to be honest, i hadn’t been in green bay since 2008 (tony’s wedding). most of my trips home since then were to mke.
i was ready to face my fear (irrational, i know) that my dad wasn’t there. don’t ask why now, because i don’t even know myself. i guess my fear came from a unhealthy way of grieving – i had already moved out of the house and just graduated from college when he passed, so for me not to talk to him or see him daily wasn’t unusual – until i came back to pulaski where it was in my face that he wasn’t there – hence where my fear and heart ache came from.
i have lots and lots of memories of my dad and pictures over the 23 years i was alive during his 46 but the last picture we ever took and the last time i saw him was at thanksgiving in 1998. it’s a terrible pic but it’s mine.
it felt good, maybe even great being home.
strangely i had a lot of people ask why i was there…since i was there mid-week thru the weekend.
i’m not a good liar.
plus, a certain person who is like my brother told a few people so i couldn’t say i was just visiting.
it’s not a big deal, i know – i came home for a job interview (more later, i promise) – it’s no monumental announcement but if i don’t get the job, i didn’t want to be disappointed and then have everyone asking.
i think the funniest part was when people asked, i’d respond, and then watching them almost fall off their chairs.
the resounding question was, “why would you ever want to come back here?”
honestly, i loved growing up at home, i love the people, i love the thought of watching jasmine grow up…
i love that i could never, ever be who i am or learned what i have in the last 35 years without this town and the people who taught me and not just in the schools.
and because of that i had a distinct impression it was time for me to come home and give back to a place that gave me so much.
don’t get me wrong – i’m scared to death IF i get the job! nothing is ever the same no matter how long your gone. and i don’t expect it to me. no job is ever greener on the other side – just a different color or length.
and yes, i’ve been living the big city life for a while and some think i wont adjust back to…
i keep reminding them that’s the joy of being within driving distance to mke, mpls, and chi town.
plus, that handy tool called the internet will be very helpful.

p.s. don’t forget to check out the pics!

yes, i’m on the road headed to the beehive state.
no, i’m not moving back, so don’t worry or think i’ve lost my mind. i’m just using my time “not working” helping patti and phil drive from dc to provo.
phil is driving the moving truck with his mom and ms. patti is prego so we’re in her car telling stories, solving all of dc’s problems, reading about “the mayor for life” on wikipedia, and listen to music.
yesterday, we made it to dayton, o-hio-oooooo, where i looked for every bw3 i could see and thought of all the franklin’s.
today, we went left the buckeye state and are headed to omaha, ne. wish us luck that our butts don’t go too numb.
p.s., at this point, i believe i’ve officially traumatized my max. last night he was roaming mom’s house looking for me. likely because i’m a nomad as he’s been driven cross country twice, been left alone or at mom’s with two crazy dogs for weeks and several days at a time – i’m actually feel guilty. poor cat.
