Fall Line-up!

The only good thing about fall is that all the good TV shows come back and you get to see some new ones! I love TV and am very excited about all of them, I have most of them on my calendar when they start. Here are some new ones I will be watching....

and starting TODAY.......



**** Note first episode of Modern Family was filmed in Jackson Hole!






SO EXCITED!!! I have no idea how I am going to still fit school and work into my life!!
Am I missing any that you think I shouldn't be?

Spell Check!

Look what Shane spotted on Fox 13 News!!
Spitting.... really..... I think this is hilarious!
I think they were going for SPLITTING! And the rumors are FALSE! Thank goodness

Surgeon General's Report

Learning more and more about this I realize how important all of these activities are, and I saw this picture thought it was cute and accurate (for now at least). The fitness industry changes so fast that I am sure there will be updates to this in no time! But for now everybody out there follow these easy guidelines! So get out and do something fun. And don't forget your weight training because it is SO important for your ADL's (activities of daily living)! If you need any recommendations I have plenty now!

Man versus dart in Zoosk's new US TV spot!

I had to post this because it makes me laugh every time!!

Food Pyramid

Everyone knows the food pyramid exists ... here is our original old fashion Pyramid!Here is the new one they came up with not too long ago because people were saying that the original was confusing. And it added the physical activity component, which seemed good but still confusing for people!

So today a NEW pyramid was unveiled on CNN! This food pyramid has been dismantled in favor of a simple plate icon that urges Americans to eat a more plant-based diet.

I think it has some good things...
Good for visual people.
Good actual visualization about what we should actual be eating!
Backed by Michelle Obama (you know that is going to help)!
But I also see some concerns!
What if people don't eat off a plate every meal?
Unless you go to the website you don't really get actual portions.
And what plate size are they basing this off of?

What do you think?!

Goodbye MAY

Here we are at the end of my favorite month...
But the rest of it has been fantastic!
My birthday was great... spent a long weekend in NYC with the family and had such a great time.

We went biking along the Hudson River.

Birthday Girls! Yes we have the same birthday and its GREAT! May 14th!

And the highlight of the weekend was my birthday present that I received from my dearest sister Padgett! If you haven't seen the Sex and the City episode where Carrie goes trapezing, you should! And that is what we got to do! It took me a long time to understand the surprise but once I did it might be the greatest present yet! So Padgett, Bland, Abby, Ali and I all met on top of this building and for the next 2 and a half hours we got to fly!

All the "Fliers"!

Me doing "The Catch"

I have wanted to go to Serendipity for SO LONG and we finally made it happen... and the wait was totally worth it!

Frozen Hot Chocolate.... yes it really is worth going there just to get that!!

On another totally random side note, my neighborhood has been full of crazy wildlife this past week. On Saturday Shane went out for a run and ended up running with a moose. The moose ended up downtown and captured later on in the day. The little yearling made the news!
Then today the parking lot of my building became a home for a couple of hours to a GIANT swarm of bees. The beekeeper had to come rescue them and everything!

Everyone that actually saw them flying around said that this clump did not do justice to actually how many bees there actually were!Beekeeper taking them away!
The newest addition to my patio, Bougainvillea! Shane's birthday present to me... I LOVE IT!

My favorite show is BACK!!

Also for Memorial Day weekend, Padgett, Sam and Tucker (Sam's adorable dog) came to stay with me for the weekend. We at least had one good weather day and took full advantage, went for a fantastic "hike" down City Creek along the flood waters and spent some time in the hot tub and pool. Always fun to have house guests and I am glad I now have a room to offer! So that was a great way to end the last weekend of May.

And last but not least I have to retire my Wyoming license plates today... I cannot tell you how sad this makes me! So good bye, I will so miss being a county 22 plate!!

Now back to the grind of summer semester, the good news is I do have the most fantastic pool and the sun should now be shining bright!

May 7, 2011

See May is already a GREAT month and yesterday was such a good example!
Started off (way too early) but for a good cause... for 3 years now I have been on the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure Committee with the I AM THE CURE specific committee and I feel like finally by the third year we finally had a handle of everything!
All of our cheerleaders were perfect, the weather was perfect (the warmest it has been in the last three years at 6am), and the whole race was a success!

Thanks FM100 for taking a sweet picture of the start line... that's me in the very middle with a pony tail in our really pretty bright green T-shirts with the rest of my committee!

Our Cheerleaders line the race and they were especially enthusiastic this year!

At the end of the race they do a Survivor parade and have them all fill the steps at the Gateway.. one of the most touching parts of the whole day!

The day did not end there...
Came home to get ready for a fantastic little Kentucky Derby Party!

The party would not have been complete without this little man... Thanks everyone for coming!

And to top May off today is Mother's Day!
So Happy Mother's Day MOM, Love you!

MAY the 4th Be with You!

Its May! I love May for so many reasons... It should be the time that it really starts getting warm and summer is weather is right around the corner, normally pool's open sometime this month and of course its the month of my BIRTHDAY!
This specific May will be great too, in 8 days the whole family will be in New York City! To visit my dear brother and to celebrate mine and my moms Birthdays, because we share the same fantastic day! If anyone has any must do things in New York please do share!!
I am hoping is on the agenda...

I also get a little tiny break from school... thank goodness... actually this semester I had some really great classes and amazing Professors! I actually miss my Group Fitness class already, I had great friends in it and both teachers made it such a great experience!

Seriously if I can be half as inspiring as Denise Druce one day I will be impressed, she is amazing!

Wahoo its COMING!

I just learned that Salt Lake City is getting..........

To open in the fall...says KSL! So that means in the next couple months we will have H&M and
