Living the Good Life

Right now, I'm in between jobs. What could have been a stressful situation has been fantastic! I've accomplished so many things the past few weeks. For instance, yesterday I organized my tax paperwork for 2013 and 2014. Also, I made a huge pot of Chicken and Dumplings, which fed myself and The Sisters. Lastly, I attended 2 aerobics classes. Folks, I did all these things before 5:00 pm!

I start my new job next month, so I'm really trying to tackle a huge To Do List before becoming a full time employee again. Today, I have another laundry list of things to do. 

Today's To Do List:

1) Lunch with old coworker

2) Wash curtains

3) Make hair appointment

4) 2 aerobics classes

5) Cook dinner for The Sisters and myself

6) Reschedule a dr appointment

7) Call dr about medicine

 Blogger World, wish me luck on my list!

All of these pictures would be posted on my Instagram...if I had one. 

Delicious Nachos

Sister #1 went shopping at WMF while in Germany. 

Last week I went to watch Sister #2 play indoor soccer. 

Get your flu shot! 

Breakfast of champs! 

Weekend Update

I had a fantastic weekend. It was full of football, rowing, the zoo, and good food! 

Friday 

Friday night Sister #2, Canada Travis, and I attended ZooBrew. This is the second year we've attended this fundraiser hosted by the OKC Zoo. It's a great event that supports the OKC Zoo and  local breweries.  

Saturday

Canada Travis and I attended the local college's football game.  They were playing the defending champs in their division, and up until Saturday they were undefeated. It was a big game! Sadly, Saturday UCO became defeated. 

Saturday Night

Canada Travis and I headed downtown to watch Sister #2 row. She was competing in a Dragon Boat competition.  Her team placed 2nd! 

Sunday

After church we enjoyed multiple episodes of West Wing. Blogger World, Netflix is a beautiful thing!  Also, I made Tuscan Chicken and Broccoli Hand Pies for Sunday night dinner. 

Confession: mine did not look this pretty. 

Fall Favorites

It's finally Fall!!! This is my absolute favorite season of the year, and here's a few reasons why...

1. PUMPKIN

I love to decorate with pumpkins; I love the smell; and I love to cook with pumpkin. Basically, I LOVE PUMPKIN!!!

2. Fall Fashion

In my opinion, the styles are better in the Fall. I'm not for sure why? Maybe it's because we're finally allowed to wear boots?

I want all of these outfits! 

3. Football

What do you love about Fall? 

Ramblings...

This morning, I read an article about ESPN's Bill Simmons. ESPN has suspended Bill Simmons for three weeks due to the comments he made about the NFL Commissioner and Ray Rice.
If you do not know Bill Simmons, he's my blogging hero. He's the reason I decided to start this crazy blog; and he's the genius behind my Ramblings post. So in his honor, I give you Ramblings...

Today, is Sister #1 and Sister #2's last day at their current job.  The funny thing, The Sisters currently work at the same company. I wonder if the company will make them share a goodbye cookie cake?

I love cookie cakes!

Yesterday, I had carpet cleaners scheduled for 10am. They did not show up at my house until 12:45.  Lucky for me, they gave me plenty of time to call another company to use. I have the new company scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Doesn't this look delicious? It's Tuscan Chicken and Broccoli Hand Pies. I think I'm going to make this for Sunday night dinner. Here's the recipe. 

Martine Rothblatt, a 59 year old entrepreneur and space lawyer, is the highest paid female executive in America. She made $38 million last year as the CEO of United Therapeutics.  What's a space lawyer? Is it a lawyer that works for NASA? Is it a lawyer hired for astronauts? I can't continue with my Ramblings until I know the definition of a space lawyer. I'm sorry. Please hold.....
According to Wikipedia: Space law is an area of the law that encompasses national and international law governing activities in outer space.
Interesting. I had no idea.

Scandal is back!!! Are you excited? I'm excited! You should be excited!

Folks, I'm Rambled out...

National Women's Health & Fitness Day

Today, September 24th, is National Women's Health & Fitness Day. In honor of Women's Health & Fitness Day I thought I'd post a few health tips. 

1. Drink 2 liters of water each day. 

2. Exercise 3 times a week.

3. Get plenty of sleep. 

4. Eat more greens.

5. Eat breakfast each day.

6. Laugh often.

7. Get outside.

8. Eat fruit more often. 

I try to be healthy each day, but it's not always easy. It helps to have family and friends that enjoy exercising as well. I'm lucky to have these people in my life! 

People's Climate March

Sunday, over 400,000 people marched through NYC to speak out about the consequences of climate change.  

Celebrities and even a former Vice President were among the 400,000 protesters.  

My hat is off to everyone who attended the protest. I respect that you feel so strongly about an issue that you are willing to protest and march the streets of NYC. Whether I agree with you or not, I still respect your opinion. For instance, I respect that this lady is against doing frac jobs to help obtain oil and gas from American rock.

I'm sure this lady has no idea that oil is one of the ingredients used to make paint. Possibly, the paint she used for her sign. 

Ironic, huh?
