What a way to start the new year! I spent New Year's Eve in bed all night and was asleep before 8pm. I didn't actually get out of bed and leave the house until Tuesday when I went to see my doctor. Thank goodness for meds!

I love to read and I've always loved books and used to buy them all the time. Around the time I bought my first home, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy anymore hardback books except copies of first edition releases from two of my favorite authors. Why would I make such a promise?

I hope this information is helpful for others!
I had a slight issue with my Erin Condren Life Planner but it was very minor and still functional but my OCD tendancies made me have a minor freak-out about it.

I drove up into our driveway and found this ginormous bug on our garage. Eeeek! What on earth kind of bug is this?!
I sent my Hubby a text with the picture of it and he replies to me "It's Mother Nature. As long as it's OUTSIDE..."
He's got a good point!Suziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02611677027772531586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120705387649402974.post-81599461281371559242011-08-13T13:37:00.002-04:002011-08-18T09:57:40.738-04:00My Erin Condren Life Planner Is Here!For most of my life I have been a freak about planning and have always kept calendars or planners. Wheter it was a pocket calendar I carried in my purse through high school and college, or a Day Timer or Franklin Covey daily planner I would get from the companies I worked for, I always had to have some kind of calendar or planner. Back in the day, I was so obsessed with daily planning that I Suziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02611677027772531586noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120705387649402974.post-87634574240457582552011-08-07T20:18:00.000-04:002011-08-07T20:18:02.648-04:003-Packs Of Extra Dessert GumJust a follow-up on my previous post about Wrigley's Extra Dessert gum...
I was so excited to discover 3-packs of the Baked Apple Pie flavor at my local Target! Such a better value than buying by the single pack. Still haven't been able to find this flavor at Costco or Sam's Club. Sam's had Mint Chocolate Chip and Strawberry Shortcake but the only one I absolutley love enough to buy a huge Suziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02611677027772531586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120705387649402974.post-19053266310053402942011-08-06T13:20:00.000-04:002011-08-06T13:20:17.040-04:00Almond ButterRecently I've been looking for a healthier alternative to regular old peanut butter and have been interested in almond butter. I've had almond butter in the past, but it was very blah to me and I needed something with a little extra to it. I'd seen Justin's Nut Butter varieties at my local supermarkets (Wegman's & Whole Foods) and at the nearby REI outdoors store but had yet to try it.

Even more exciting is that they are currently doing a promotion with Sanrio featuring Hello Kitty and other characters! They've been open for over a month but we just hadn't been there yet because we've been so busy.

I'd also previously seen this recipe in my Weight Watchers Ultimate 3-Month Tracker spiral book and had planned to make it sometime. After seeing it again, I decided that time was now!
I couldn't find any blueberry pie filling at the supermarket (I didn't go to my usual Wegman's - ISuziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02611677027772531586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120705387649402974.post-2282819827526693862011-07-18T19:03:00.005-04:002011-08-06T13:22:54.419-04:00Dessert Gum
My latest favorite find is Wrigley's Extra Dessert Delights Gum. Several months ago I was at at Sam's Club and found the Mint Chocolate Chip flavor so I bought a huge box of it for my husband. I am not a fan of mint chocolate chip and I did try the gum but didn't care for it.
