Look at this cookie...frame it don't eat it

Over the weekend I went to an annual craft show with my dh's 2 aunts, we walked around and got a few things (fudge, a cute fleece coat for my dd, a ring made from a tea spoon handle and this cookie). This cookie was made by a lady who started her own business called "Fancy Shmancy" (thought you'd like the name), and she sells cookies and cakes. Cookies are yummy ( worked it off in Cardio kickboxing last night :p), the cakes are amazing but you probably would have freaked at the prices of the cakes. I certainly did freak at the prices, but then again I am not out buying cakes for my children't bday parties and certainly wouldn't buy one this expensive. These cakes were like the price of a wedding cake, I think I trained in the wrong field :p! Looks beautiful doesn't it :)!

my computer

sorry I haven't posted anything in a bit, but my computer crashed or something..actually both my computers have issues, but I fixed one of them. So I will be posting things later on once I get the better computer fixed :)!

First Cardio Kickboxing Class

Wow!!! That was not like anything like I thought it would be, well the moves were but not the intensity...lol, I think we were all hoping for a nice intro to it. Nope, no intro really...we just jumped right in to what felt like novice or pro class (it did for me anyways). Did I say wow already?? Lol!!
There were 5 of us ladies plus the instructor (we all varied in age), I was the second youngest and was surprised that I was able to keep up...ok, sure we sometimes got confused with some of the moves but she said that we will get the hang of it very fast. I think we worked every single part of our bodies and then some, but just to give you an idea of which parts we did most def. exercised: hips, every part of our legs, arms, abs ( the whole time our abs were engaged-thinking that this means held tight or in...may be one of you can enlighten me). We even did exercises for our backs, shoulders and we all did this to the high beat of the dance music that she had going the whole hour. We also did stretches that I was not familiar with, to stretch out the back or even the exercises that we did to strengthen your back were new to me.
Yip, a full hour...must say that hour went by slower than I thought it would but I am actually looking forward to the next class :)! The teacher said that by the end of the 8 week classes that we will have our abs looking good and other parts that needed work...even loss of weight for some of us. I am not going to lose the weight, I am going to tone things up like I said in a past e-mail and I think that this class is def. going to do that for me especially if every class is going to be as intense as last nights. Lol, this has nothing on Curves!!
I got home last night a little sore in the legs and back and arms ok and even hips...I had a bath, and then went to bed...dreading the thought of what I would feel like today. To my surprise when my feet hit my bedroom floor, I didn't hurt...I have a faint ache but I do not hurt like I thought I would. I got up, got dressed, got my children dressed, and walked down to the school bus stop, son got on bus and the 3 of us walked home. Still I don't hurt :), which I am kind of excited about...lol, this might mean I am in better shape than I actually thought I was.
I highly recommend that you try out one of these Cardio Kickboxing classes, my instructor says she has 64-70 year olds doing her class...they are all over the place with their moves but they are there and are doing it. Lol, I am serious...try it...you might have a blast !! Well, that is it for Kickboxing story...will keep you posted as the 8 weeks happen :)! One thing I have to do is go get a few bandana's to keep my hair out of the way,lol, was ready to shave my head bald by the end of the class...don't worry, I wouldn't actually do that :p!

Have a super day :)!

Herniated belly button

Well, sometime last week my dd managed to get herself a hernia in her belly button...something I am not familiar with or have ever heard of a little one getting. She used to have an innie, but now it is a definite outtie and it looked really bad on Saturday, it was about 1.5 cm in diameter and about that sticking out of her. You can see the color of the bowel through her belly button skin...so I took her in to the children's hospital (feeling silly all the while, because I didn't know if it would be considered an emergency or not). Of course by the time I got there it had popped itself back in, and the dr there (I have had in the past and am not a huge fan of) basically told me they couldn't do anything until it got stuck out. If you push the belly button in, it makes this gross slosh/gurggle noise and I don't know if you would do more damage if you stick it back in. Anyways, they said that they need it to be sticking out and for her to be upset about this...I explained that she isn't eating like she usually does, isn't sleeping well, is VERY irritable but apparently that isn't what they are looking for. It has stuck out all day today (I didn't dare push it back in), but it went back in at bath time and then popped back out again shortly after bath time. My family dr. is away for the next 3 weeks..trying to get in to see another one of her co-workers to see if they can refer me to someone else who is an expert in herniated belly buttons. Lol, if any of you have heard of this...have had it happen to one of your children, friends children anyone's children I would love to hear what you have to say about it :)!

Daisy D's Paper company Rub-on Tape

You should go over to Daisy D's, I thought that this was pretty neat...if you love the look of stitching on people's cards or paper projects but just don't have the patience or the equipment then you will love these. These are new rub on tapes that roll on easily and hug the curves of your projects with no problems. Each package contains 2 runner like cartridges in the same design- one black and one white. Each has 15 feet of transfer material. They have straight stitch, zigzag stitch and or decorative designs...I hope a store near me will carry this neat stuff :D!

Ttyl, will post some cards later :D!

Mz.Penny blog candy

Please run over to Mz.Pennny Kreations, she has some rather yummy looking blog candy that is up for grabs :)!

HURRAY

I heard on someone else's blog that SU on November 16 (I hope that is the right date, don't quote me on that), that we can start selling our cards in retail spots and online...that is if you are interested in doing something like that. Have you ever thought of selling your cards?? Would you rather sell them online or in a store?? I am also wondering if we still have to stamp the SU handstamped stamps on the back of the paper projects we make using their stamps or not, anyone know??
Personally, I have thought of selling my cards...would love to, but just don't know where to begin..have been selling some to friends and family but haven't gone past that. I have been thinking about doing this for awhile, but life got in the way and got discouraged with the whole Angel policy thing.

Have a super day :D!!
