Summer Confessions!

Staying up late at night + sleeping in late mornings = me not getting a whole lot of stuff finished. I probably should do some cleaning today.
Gotta find that motivation before the dust bunnies take over!!
***********
I am kinda ready to get back on a schedule when school starts in a month…
I know, I know bite my tongue.
(But we do better when there is a schedule involved.)
***********
My boys have been playing russian roulette with their nerf guns.
Oh the things they learn from their friends!
**************
Floating on the lazy river with friends at our local pool is the best way to
beat the heat on hot hazy days.
**************
I gave up doing p90x a couple weeks ago. After 6 weeks of not missing a day,
I was still 1 pound over my starting weight. Talk about depressing! Now I am
mixing it up with some Billy Blanks and Jillian Michaels.
***************
Baking hasn’t happened in a while just because it has been stinkin hot here.
That must be remedied very soon.
***************
Since there are no baked goods happening at the moment, we tried
out some fun shakes to cool off with.
Coffee + ice cream + oreos makes the best kind of summer treat!
Go ahead and try one if you don’t believe me;-)
Mocha Oreo Shakes will be happening more often here.

  1. Usually, we in the Pac NW grumble about our Summer weather ( or lack thereof) but I’m glad for our cooler days with the heat wave that’s gripping the rest of the country. I do wish I lived close enough to come try that shake though! I guess I’ll have to make one here :)

  2. Your lazy summer days sound wonderful! It beats going to work and sitting behind a computer all day while staring at the gorgeous weather outside. Have fun for me!

  3. i am usually a stickler to a routine. that has all gone out my window this month. i look forward to the schedule as well.

  4. I thrive on a schedule as well. This summer has felt like it has flown by, with not a lot of progress being made. I’m looking forward to school as well, but I will miss the lazy family game nights. :)

  5. I always love your stuff :) Thanks for thinking up!!

  6. a few things…

    thank you so much for your sweet comment on the loss of my gpa.

    also, i run six miles/day and have gained one pound. (ugh!) it’s because of the muscles, i tell myself. : ) hopefully that’s some consolation.

    i stay up late but since my kids require my attention i have to get up at 7 am. bad combo. i too, get almost nothing done. you’re not alone.

    mmmm… an oreo shake?! the key to my heart!

  7. How awesome would one of these be on a sweltering summer night? Yum!

    I hope you’ll stop by and link up with Sweet Tooth Friday!

  8. My boys do the same thing with their nerf guns. Have you ever been woken up by being shot with a nerf gun? That is always a pleasant surprise.

  9. This looks delicious!

  10. Thank you so much for stopping by Cast Party Wednesday last week. I really appreciate you sharing your recipe with us. I hope you will join us again for another awesome party filled with yummy recipes.
    Thanks Again!

  11. P90X is tough! Kudos to you for sticking with it that long. I’ve never done Billy Blanks, but I’m a fan of every Jillian Michaels video I’ve ever tried. They kick your booty, but you can definitely see results.

    And I don’t want to get all fitness preachy on you, but it’s not uncommon to see the scale go the wrong way when you’re building muscle. Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat, but there’s a lot of other things that happen in your body when you’re strength training that can make losing weight (or even maintaining) more difficult. *steps off soapbox* :)
