One Of My New Favorite Books...


I read through this book all the time. Some of the things in the book I just can't change...For example peanut butter...I have no desire to eat almond butter...sorry can't do it. There are a few things that I have changed due to the book.
They also have Eat This Not That for restaurants...I've looked through it but I haven't bought it yet.

What Are These?!?!

Well they are called YogaToes, Toe Stretchers or ProFoot Flex-tastic. I can't remember what the name of these are but I got them at Wal-Mart.

They are suppose to:

  • Exercise your feet to stay healthy & in shape.
  • Improve & prevent foot problems by stretching & aligning your toes.
  • Ease the discomfort of Hammertoes, Bunions & Plantar Fasciitis.
  • Recover from stress, strain & overuse.
  • Improve foot strength, flexibility & appearance.
  • Increase circulation, straighten bent toes, & realign joints.

They look like these on....

I wear them when I watch TV. I'll keep you posted on the progress of my feet. I will tell you they feel great when I have these little guys on...

Leipers Fork...

It was a BEAUTIFUL day! I went to Leipers Fork. There really isn't a lot going on in Leipers Fork....however I did enjoy my trip. It was a beautiful drive. There were some very cute shops and a couple of places to eat. I felt a bit out of place without leather or spandex. There were a ton of motorcycle riders and bicycle riders. It was a great day for a ride. Below are some pics from the trip...the cute shops, houses and the General Lee!

HAPPY Friday...

It has been a pretty quiet week around here. Work is good and quiet. We have had our fair share of rainy/stormy weather. It is only going to be in the high 50s/low 60s today and morning showers. However tomorrow will be sunshine and in the 70s...I'm very excited.

Tomorrow I'm going to Leipers Fork. It is a Registered National Historic District and contains some of the few remaining examples of late 19th century architecture once characteristic of villages in Williamson County (I borrowed that from the website). Hopefully there will be some photo opportunities...if so I will post some pics after my visit.

Then next week I'll start getting ready for a trip to Arkansas for Easter. We are off work on Friday so I'll be driving in Thursday night after work...

Happy Anniversary to my Dad and Mom...on Saturday!

Also, good luck to my favorite brother on his BIG test tomorrow...I know you will do great!

Have a great weekend!

Last Week...

Jody and Jodi came for a visit last week. They were here Wednesday-Saturday. We had lots of fun and a great visit.

On Thursday night we went to The Opry...the Grand Ole Opry. It was a night of classic country. There were lots of people that played I didn't know. Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin brothers, Lorrie Morgan and Loretta Lynn....they played...I know them. A good part of the night was a tribute to Patsy Cline. They were all so good and we had fun. Pictures from the night at the Opry are below. I changed my playlist to celebrate the night at the Opry...I hope you enjoy!

Friday and Saturday we did a little shopping and I showed them around Franklin. I'm so glad that they came for a visit.

My mom and dad will be here next for a visit....I'm SUPER EXCITED! I'm currently taking reservations into the fall for visits to Tennessee....let me know if you would like to come for a visit!

Just a warning...I'm not great with directions ask Jody & Jodi or Blake & Kristen...I've learned a lot but I seldom go straight to a place usually at least one turn around is required...

The Night At The Opry...

Migraine Free Month...

Yes you read that correctly...I have gone a full month without a migraine. It has actually been a bit longer than a month...it is 6 weeks AND counting.

Not to say I haven't had a headache BUT I haven't had a stay in bed, lights off, no sound, no work migraine. I've also been very cautious when I think I might be getting one or I have that "just before a migraine" feeling I go home, eat dinner and go to bed.

I know that one of those things could be around the corner...but I'm so very thankful for these 6 weeks without a migraine.

SIDE NOTE: I was reading about migraines on line the other day and a took a migraine quiz. The point was "how much do you know about migraines?". I made a perfect score...sad but true.
