Since it is the new year, I have vowed to get healthier and back to my prePG weight by my 35th birthday. I have decided to train to run a 5K in my quest for a hot bod. I just completed week one of my training and it went very well. I also want to share a delicious and nutricious meal with all of you. I make this soup and it is very filling. I eat it every day for lunch. It is filled with fiber and protein. Another bonus...very cheap to make.
Best Bean Soup
(one batch feeds me for a week of lunches)
2 cans Northern Beans
1 can Pinto Beans
1/2 onion diced
carrots chopped (your personal preference)
stalk of celery chopped
1 can tomatoes with green chilis (a little kick)
ham cubed
can of V-8
Thyme to season
Next on the agenda, I want to paint our house this year. Well, the rooms that have not been painted yet. Our home is a split level and very open, so the basement, livingroom, foyer, stairway, etc all have to have colors that compliment each other. I really want to do gray in the basement and brown in the kitchen/livingroom. So, I came up with these two schemes. I think I really like the one on the right best. The yellow is more muted and goes nicely.
Also, I am doing a picture gallery in the hall downstairs. I had seen a similar idea in a Pottery Barn catalog. So I got 18, 8x10 frames and will frame a picture of Lauren from 6 months through Senior year of HS. I cannot wait to see how it turns out. I got the 18 frames from walmart.com for $25!! And they are really nice too. Here is a picture of me mapping out the frames.
Finally, I am ALWAYS cold. ALWAYS. My fingers, hands and toes are always like icicles. Good ole Santa got me fingerless gloves this year and they work great!! I use them at work. It allows me to type and write, while still staying toasty. Bonus is they are super cute. Great purple color and cute rosette on the wrist. **From Forever 21**

I definitely like the colors on the right better. You've got to be really careful with yellows. They always come out brighter than you expect. I've learned the hard way!
Thanks Dena....I think I better buy some samples then to be sure.
