Ho Ho Ho

We're finally in the Christmas spirit at our home.  We put up the tree yesterday.  Every year my grandmother got me a Christmas ornament.  When I got married I took them with me and put them up on my tree.  Here's some of my favorites:










Happy Holidays from the Browns!

Weekly Work It Out

I'm proud to say I did pretty well with my weekly work it out last week.  I got up early and worked out every morning except for Friday.  Rosie was sick and I got about 3 hours of sleep.

I didn't stick to my laid out workout plan though, because I got my hands on this:


It was an awesome workout DVD with 5 different workouts that I did in the evenings.  I'm sad to give it back, but I always get bored with DVDs if I actually buy them.

This week will be really similar to last week - the 10 Minute Solutions pilates and cardio workouts in the mornings and then stuff I can instant stream on Netflix and the Cardio Cheer DVD.  Due to weird Netflix issues, I just now got the movie I was supposed to get the day before Thanksgiving.  Thanks US Postal Service.

I weighed myself this morning and lost a pound and a half last week, so I'm definitely motivated for this week.  According to my Wii Fit, I've lost 25 pounds since Chirstmas before last.  Yesterday we had an anniversary party to go to and a random person asked KB if he had gotten divorced and remarried, because he now had a "skinny wife".  Go me!

Menu Sunday

Here's what the Browns will be eating this week....

Mon:Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken



For some reason I've been craving buffalo wings all the time recently.  I'm not a huge wing fan.  They take forever to eat and you don't ever really get that much.  This combines wings with something that's easy to eat. I might make it and eat it today I'm so excited about it.

Tues:  Autumn Chopped Salad


I'm just now getting around to making this, but I've been wanting to try it out for a while.  I'm sure KB won't be that big of a fan and will probably put some chicken or something on his, but even now and then I like to have something really light and fruity for dinner.

Wed: Crock Pot Egg Brunch Casserole




We've been eating eggs a lot recently and I don't want to stop.  This looks cheesey and delicious.  I'll be subbing out turkey bacon for regular bacon though.  I like the texture of turkey bacon better than real bacon.

Thurs: Super Easy Chicken Pot Pie



By the time Thursday rolls around, I never really want to cook anything.  This recipe uses canned chicken soup to make the base, so I don't even really have to cook anything.  Yay for not cooking!

What goodies will you be making this week???

Randomo Saturday

There's a lot of random things going on this Saturday.....

We watched this last night.

No wonder Mark Zuckerberg was so pissed off when this came out - he's a complete ahole in the movie.  I felt really sorry for Eduardo.  I hope he made lots of money in his "undisclosed settlement".  KB seemed to really like it - especially the Winklevoss twins.  KB is pretty much as un-Winklevoss as you can be so that was a shocker.

I finally ordered our Christmas cards this morning.  I couldn't find a really good picture and I felt bad leaving Pancho and Rosie off, but I felt like it didn't really make sense to list them if they weren't in the picture.  If you want one leave me a comment - we don't have enough real life friends to use up the 25 I got free.

Aren't we sweet?  Uhhh not really.

Little Rosie is sick again and I've spent all weekend cleaning up nasty unmentionables from my carpet.  She has an "upset stomach" again, which she gets it seems like every other week now.  She's feeling better now that we've pumped her full of some antibiotics and cooked chicken cubes.  Luckily my sister has a carpet cleaner or I'd be screwed.



We're going to a 50th anniversary party today for KB's great aunt and uncle.  50 years is over twice as long as I've been alive.  Hopefully KB and I can sustain this for 50 years:

Thoughts on a Thursday

It's time for Thoughts on a Thursday!

Link up with Carolyn to play along.




  • I can't believe it's December already!  We haven't even started our Christmas shopping and I feel like everyone else is already done.  I've at least made a list of what we're getting everyone, where we're getting it and how much it costs - so I feel like at least part of the battle has been won.

  • I've been deviating from my posted workout plan a little bit.  One of my friend's gave me this DVD and I've been doing it every day.
So far I've only done the 15 minute workouts, but they really do work you out in such a short time.  By the time they're over I'm sore and sweating - which is really hard to do in 15 minutes.

  • I've gotten into drinking tea at night.  It's pretty cold in our house because I'm neurotic about the thermostat, so I mostly drink it to stay warm.  I'm thinking about making these this weekend to eat with my nightly sleepy tea.



  • I still haven't ordered my Christmas cards.  I can't find a picture of KB and I that I really like or that doesn't look weird.  I'm thinking this one, but it was taken in warm weather.  Is that weird to have on a Christmas card?
I'm also thinking of maybe taking one of the dogs sleeping and putting it on some sort of "silent night" card.  I'm having a hard time catching them asleep.  Pancho always wakes up and sniffs the camera and Rosa just looks at me with her weird lazy eye.

What are your thoughts on a Thursday???
