Upside Down Tomato Planter!

Mr. Mister and I decided we wanted to try and grow our own tomatoes this year.

We were walking around in Sam's and saw this!



Isn't it COOL? Now, we don't have to worry about staking the tomatoes. Gravity does all the work for you. We also don't have to worry about them rotting while laying on the ground. Another plus is that you can plant herbs or even flowers on the top.



Easy peasy! HUH? We shall see!

So, my question to you is: What is your favorite kind of tomatoes to grow? Why do you prefer those?

Tagged!

Carla over at Everyday Moments tagged me the other day, and I wanted to THANK her for thinking about me! It's always a GREAT feeling to know someone enjoys reading my blah blah blog! LOL!



The rules are:

1. The winner may put the logo on their blog.
2. Put a link to the person who sent you the award.
3. Nominate 10 blogs.
4. Put links to their blogs.
5. Leave a message for your nominees.

I honestly don't think I have ten bloggers that I know personally, that would participate in the tag. Most of the blogs listed on the side of my page are just places I like to hang out at once in a while. So, having said that, I think I will say to anyone reading this, THANKS for stopping by my blog, and you can consider yourself tagged if you want to be tagged!

Mr. Mister Is A SWEETHEART!!!

Last week, I was reading the Leslie Sansone message boards, and saw that there were six new workout DVDs being released. I was SO EXCITED! (If you have been reading my blog, you already know how much I LOVE Leslie Sansone!!!) Then I read that they were exclusive to Target, and only SELECT Targets at that. So, I went to the website and clicked on the map. Wouldn't you know it, they weren't available at our local Targets. I was so bummed.

But then, I thought for a minute (I know, hard to believe huh? LOL!) and went back to the map and clicked on Oklahoma. Why? Because Mr. Mister was in Oklahoma City on a business trip. GUESS WHAT? They showed a Target in Oklahoma City that would be carrying the DVDs.

So, I sent a message to Mr. Mister with the information, and the next day he went to check it out! He had to drive all the way across town, but he went for ME! Isn't that SWEET? And he found THEM! YAY! YAY!

He bought the two below: (Sorry for the small pictures, it's all I could find.)

Punch Up Your Walk (With Weighted Gloves)



Walk strong with this high-intensity workout that will challenge every major muscle group in your body, right in your own home. Wear the weighted gloves and FEEL the muscles work! 4 STRONG Miles! You choose to wear the gloves or just walk, walk, walk!

Walk It Off & Tone It Up (With Two Firm Bands)



5 BIG Miles to walk yourself to a slimmer stronger you! And… not 1… but 2 Firm Bands to BOOST muscle activity while you walk! Be prepared for Lots of Miles AND Lots of Sweat.

The pictures and descriptions were taken from Leslie's website.

I prefer to buy the four and five mile workouts, because I can always stop at two or three miles if I want to. But, I tend to do five miles more often than not. So, it's better to have the longer DVDs.

I've done both already, and LOVE them!

Thanks a BUNCH Mr. Mister! Big SMOOCHES!

Green Smoothies!

We have become addicted to smoothies! That means a lot of experimenting with different fruits and other ingredients. This has quickly become one of our favorites.



It's a green smoothie! Doesn't it look like the breakfast of champions! LOL! No? You don't think it looks very appetizing at all! Well, neither did I, but it's really pretty good. Even though it has SPINACH in it! YEP! Bring on the baby spinach!

HEY! I'm thinkin' that anything that helps me eat "a" vegetable is a good thing. (It also helps that you can't taste the spinach. That is a HUGE plus for me!)

You wanna try it? OK! Here's what we put into this fantabulous smoothie!

1 cup Pineapple/Orange juice
1 banana
1 apple
1 cup strawberries
A big handful of baby spinach
A few ice cubes

Put everything in the blender and BLEND baby BLEND!

And what makes it even BETTER is that this smoothie is only 3.5 points when divided between two people! YEAH!

Next on our list to try is Dr. Oz's Green Drink. I keep reading wonderful things about it. I just don't know about all those vegetables though! LOL! I gotta take "baby steps" when in comes to vegetables! LOL! Although, I must admit, I pretty much like everything that is included in his drink, except the parsley. I'm not a huge fan of it, but you probably can't taste it that much once it's mixed with everything else. Anyway, here is the recipe for that one. It is from Oprah's website.

Dr. Oz's green drink.

2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 head of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon

After everything is combined in a blender, this recipe makes 28 to 30 ounces—about three to four servings.

So, everyone go out there, and get your GREEN on!

Home Again!

We have made it safely back home! Although, there were a couple of times I thought our plane was going to go down, with all of the turbulence we kept hitting.

For those of you wondering, no I didn't go to Disney World or Sea World. I could have gone, but decided not to. Why? You ask. Well, because I have never been to either place, and I would like my first experience to be with my family.

So, that just means that I get to go back again!

What Are You Looking At?

YEAH! I'm talking to you! Don't make me come over there!



HEY! YOU! The one with the camera! I've got my eye on you!



Who keeps letting all these TOURISTS in here? I need to talk to management AGAIN!
