Sorry I have been MIA. I’ve been busy.. kissing this boy :)
More posts soon, I promise <3
Angela, at Oh She Glows is such an inspiration. She is so full of life and has tons of great food ideas and exercise tips and tricks. Anyways, she makes these Green Monster smoothies. I finally got up the guts to try one. I made one after my kick-butt workout with Jillian. It was sooo yummy! You couldn’t even taste the spinach!
This was my recipe:
I put it in my sundae cup, I felt better about it ;)
Now i’m off to Fred’s for some almond breeze and hemp powder :)
PS. I did 10 pushup today!! REAL ONES!! I’m a rock star.
Not having my digital camera SUCKS. I hate ittt. “Hey Mom…Mom? You can send my cord anytime now..” I feel my life is lacking and I’m tired of buying disposables. I guess I don’t HAVE to buy them, but what is Olivia does something incredibly, ridiculously cute {um, everyday of her life} and I don’t catch it on film!? I will be the worst. momma. ever.
Dear Mr. Voyager camera, I love you. Even though your other half is a piece of shitake mushroom.
Miss Priss. favorite. picture. ever.
Anyways, I’ve been kind of down. I’m feeling chubby, I need new highlights, I want to get my nails done and I shouldn’t be eating a reeses after I get off work.. whatever. You know what makes me feel wonderful!? Shopping, sundresses and sunshine! Oh.. and my Hubby, and daughter… ;)
Forever 21. I love you. I hate your extremely slow shipping and processing.. but I love your sundresses. The last pink one is a large, but it was super good deal and I can always take it in if I need too. I got mediums in the other two. I have Momma boobs and I sometimes worry about over exposure of the girls. Even though my BFF and I are cleavage sisters.
I also love, these 2 models. the first one is VS {duh} and the this cute blonde girl is from forever21. Just by looking at them, I already know I wanna be their friends. We would totally go to the beach and shop on the boardwalk and take funny pictures.. yea we would be BFF :) {that bathing suit may or may not be here after 07/07/09}
Oh and I don’t know how many times I can listen to Kings of Leon. My top 3 are Use Somebody, I Want You, and Sex is on Fire. It makes me feel edgy.
Okay, now I have to go be productive. My To-Do:
xo!
*Facts about Ashlee*
*this is a fact.
Now for some old school goodness.. some of my favorite pictures.
This is my Gretchen! I love her. She is the complete opposite of me! She likes stars, I like hearts. She likes black and red, I like pink! But we both LOVE crafts. It’s a fact. Oh, and Target. Anyways, I get the worst news in the universe this week.. SHE IS MOVING TO PENNSLYVANIA!!!!!! I’m so sad, I could really cry :( PA is 2,565 miles away. That is 1 day and 15 hours if you drive straight through. {thanks Google Maps!} I hate you, Pennsylvania. I’m coaching her to have a baby, she and I have the same temperament and fears. *sigh* I don’t wanna talk about it anymore :( :( :(
In other news, and better happy news. My best friend from elementary school is coming to Olympia!! I haven’t seen her in 12 years!! She is adorable. Her baby Kenzie is adorable. I’m so excited to see her again! I’m going to take about 535 pictures! :)
AND! Then, I get to see my BFF Megs!! I’m spending the night at her house friday after I go to Traci, to keep my sanity from being in the car for 6 hours in one day. I love her the most. IBLWY ;)
I was tagged by Allison! Makes me feel like I’m part of the cool kid club ;)
01.) Open you first photo folder
02.) Now scroll down to the 10th photo
03.) Post that photo and story on your blog
04.) Tag five other blogger friends to do the same!
This was family photo day. Well actually I think it was more Olivia photo day. It was freezing outside in the fall and we were trying to get pictures of Olivia. I like to pose her next to the fence and take her picture. It’s a fact. I did it when she was 6 months old the first time, and the picture looked professional, I'm serious! {searching for said picture} See the first one, I made about 50 wallets and gave it to everyone I knew. It was a great photo. The other 2.. not so great. She became mobile and didn’t want to stand in one spot anymore. What was I thinking?! Teaching her how to walk.. crazy Momma.
I don’t have too many blogger friends so I tag, my BFF Megs :)
Dear Jillian.
I’ve been cheating on you. Don’t worry, it’s not with someone else. I could never do that to you. I’ve been cheating on you with yummy twisted peach iced tea{peach absolut, ice tea}, mint chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate cream pie.
I know! Right now, you are thinking "Buddy, what is going on?” Honestly, a lot. But I know that is not an excuse. I have no excuse for my lack of motivation. Even though I seem to have enough motivation to make my chubby butt a slice of pie. ;) I cant even point my finger somewhere else, because you see, my sweet and loving husband asks me everyday if I’ve shredded. I tell him no, everyday. So he took me out to buy me hand weights. We got the 3 pounds one. Hey, it’s progress from 1 lb veggie refried beans. I cant blame sweet Olivia because she is oh so sweet and her chubby thighs are delicious.
I can only blame myself. I guess I start all over again today. I’m up at the crack of dawn, and I’m ready to be your “buddy” again and kick my own ass. Thanks for understanding, and for your annoying little sly comments…
♥ Ash
PS. It wont happen again.. I’ll make my hubby eat the pie and ice cream. He has the metabolism of a 8 year old boy.
So I have mistakenly left my sweet battery charger to the digital camera at my Momma’s. You know what the means? A dead camera and a missing ligament. :( So I’m up for a challenge, I love any kind of challenge. I’m #1!
Here it is. I’m buying 2 disposables.. yes, disposables and I’m taking them with me everywhere. I’ll just keep them in my purse and when one runs out, i’ll use the other one. I’m gonna document my week and see what I come up with. I can get them developed at Snapfish and they will even publish them online so I don't have to scan 45647 pictures :) I’m pretty much stoked for this whole thing… And then I’m sending my mom 6 bucks to send me my cord back :(
Here is an oldie but goody {like my teachers use to say}
My sweet bug getting into the reeses. Look how little she is!
Okay, that’s it for now! I’m off to Fred Meyers for the camera’s and a fathers day present! :)
xo!
So Mike and I, we like to eat. And we like to eat good food! But we go to the grocery store every Tuesday and spend at least 75 dollars on food. So this month we are playing Survivor – Pantry style. Here are the rules and regulations:
I’m pretty excited about this challenge. I took pictures of our food storage areas so you can actually see that we wont be starving.
Cupboard in the kitchen, chest freezer, the snack shelf in the garage, the “pantry” shelf in the garage, and our fridge.
I love my mornings. I know I talk about them a lot, but I cant help it. I love waking up early with my coffee. It makes for such a smoother morning with Olivia and I. Lately I’ve been lovin’ yogurt and fruit. It’s such a great breakfast packed full of goodness. And berries are in season, which makes them cheap! I stir in flax seed too for extra boost! :)
See, a happy Mommy makes a happy baby in the morning!
Okay, so I’ve been working out, but I just came across this amazing clothing accessory! It’s called My Hip T I was a little sketch (see Allison!) but I thought I would try it. It was 20 bucks and came with free shipping. I was in. Now it seems a little weird, but listen. I have the worst crack! All. the. time! This totally keeps my hips and lower back from showing. (if would also be good if you have a tramp stamp from college and don't want the office to see??) And it keeps in the muffin top! You know, the one we are working off? Yea, that one! Look how cute it looks under a tank. You cant even tell you are wearing something else under your shirt, and you don’t have the extra layer (kind of?) for the summer. There are other colors but I went with white and lace because that’s kind of a staple in my wardrobe. My only con is that when I sat down, it scrunched up a little bit, so when I stood up, I had to do that “I need to look perfect” pull up, and sometimes I felt like i was wearing pregnancy pants.. but I got over that!
**look at those abs! YES! JK
Okay, so now i have to let Jillian glare at me because I ate cookies for dinner and I had WAY too much alcohol this weekend. Later Gators!
xo!
PS! Google "Live Writer" for Windows. It's amazing. It's the best blogging tool ever. No more annoying slow photo uploads. It's like microsoft word and you round the corners of the photos and everything. Why did I not know about this before!? Blogging just because even more easy!!
