August 19, 2011

As my daughter and I bid the summer break good-bye, I bid sweets and the unhealthy pattern of eating I’ve fallen into good-bye as well. That is, starting Monday! Hahaha! Much as I am not quite ready yet to trade sleeping in for crazy school mornings, I am just about ready to get back in tip top shape. I haven’t participated in any 2011 running events yet and I am most definitely planning on participating in the Komen Race for the Cure in November. And if I have any dreams of getting into a camo lingerie (Yeah, right!), I better start working out ASAP!

I’ll be taking the slowly but surely route to fitness just like I did last year. I should be seeing results by Thanksgiving…or by race day, in the first week of November.

Wish me luck!

Summer break will officially come to an end on Sunday. Monday, August 22nd, marks the start of the new school year. My, summer went by so quickly!  This is our 5th summer in the US and compared to the first 4, this was the busiest by far! I was so busy I rarely had time to play with our 2-month old favorite new toy, the xbox kinect! But I did find time to snag some very good deals on school supplies whenever there were deals to be snagged like these ones…

I only paid a penny for each for the wooden rulers and the crayons. The pencils were a dime per pack of 10. How else can you beat that price?! Come now, don’t think I’m hoarding school supplies. I’m planning on donating most of these where they are most needed. I’ll just keep maybe 2 of each.

We’re making the most of the last days of summer break. And what better way to end the long hot summer than with a Tax Free Shopping Weekend! Yeehaw!

Cheers, y’all!
