True Delights

These are to die for!!!!! You wouldn't think blackberry pomegranate would be all that delish, but it is! I can't get enough of these yummy snacks.  If you do WW, you can have 13 for 3 points so that's pretty good.  They're on sale, 10 for $10 at Kroger.  I bought 10 to stock up. (I'm afraid it might be seasonal) I also like the kettle corn, sea salt and crack black pepper too.

Jazzin' for Respite

I told you....I've been busy! On September 11th I attended the Jazzin' for Respite auction/benefit downtown Nashville at the Lane Motor Museum. It was lots of fun to get dressed up, sample local foods, and hang out with people from high school along with new friends.
Looks like a toy, huh?
Italian cars
The room was HUGE, warehouse style, and while you couldn't touch any of the $$$ vehicles, you could pose for free.  All the money raised goes directly to the Respite for families with special needs children. 
I was in a few more pictures (these are my camera only)...and it may have made it into the paper...so if you see it, save me a copy!

Painting...with a Twist!

A new sips and strokes-like studio opened in my area a few weeks ago. Esther's baby sister, an art major, is a part time instructor! So, last week we went and painted for their open house extravaganza! It was a lot of fun! You don't get to pick your paint colors, hence the straw and burgundy hues, but hey--we enjoyed ourselves.
We enjoyed talking, sipping and painting!



My perfectionist friend...
and all I see when I look at myself in this picture is my moms face.

Weekend Recap

Well, I actually worked on Labor Day weekend. It's a shame! Why? Because I don't get paid to put in extra hours especially on a weekend but I got together with some of my fabulous team and planned  every.single.detail that corresponds with Daily 5, scope and sequence, ate pizza, Envision math, Social Studies, the works! It felt good.  My team doesn't have common planning and lunch is too short so it had to be done.  How does your team handle this?

The rest of the weekend was full of randomness. I slept almost in every day! (til 9:30 one day woo-woo)

Spent way too long on here:
Girl talked at Starbucks with her:
Saw this movie with Mary and had mixed feelings. Without giving anything away, 1. I hate English speaking movies 2. I hate all things related to the 80's and 3. it was a slow go and then sad at the same time.  If you see it, tell me what you think.
I got my hair did for the first time in forever and a blue sparkle pedicure!  I just told her to do whatever she wanted and I actually like it. It's totally not me, so that may be a good thing!


Dinner meals are planned, laundry is almost done and Jersey Shore along with my home made Mexican Lasagna are on the menu for tonight! 
Yay, for a 4 day week!
