Mood:
Happy, very happy. We got some great news & I have found my motivation to get moving again. I have, for so long, felt like I have been stuck in the mud & not moving. You get through out life from time to time when you want life to go by faster then it feels like its going, but you always look back & wish that you had more time. What is the saying 20/20 something.... Ya, ah.... Its right. Sigh, I wish I had done things differently, but then I realize that I cannot change the past, & there is a reason we love the present & why we look forward to the future. I can only affect two of  these & learn from one. A lesson I learned at a young age & has always helped me put one foot in front of the other in this life. Even when I did not want to.

Life:

I grew up in northern MN. I should be use to the funky weather by now. It was 40 in December in MN! I could not believe it. I had a lazy happy day. I went to dinner with Clay, went shopping (got somethings I have been wanting for a couple of years) & then worked out for 50mins. Wii fit so kicked my (Hopefully shrinking) rear. I am still shaking.
My sister & I are trying to plan for a family holiday, I am just hoping my brother & his wife & their soon to be born baby can come next summer, but I think they will be taking a year off of trips. I so don't blame them. We were talking about a trip to the grand cannon & maybe going camping. I am ok with both, but there has to be pluming with in a 1ml radius. I so cannot go that long without a shower. I am a neat freak, what can I say?

 Cooking:
My new toys. I am slowly but surely getting my kitchenaide kitchen. I love their warranty & the quality of the products. I also got a Cuisinart coffee maker & a burr grinder. I have been putting off getting a new coffee maker, my old one kinda still worked & I love my french press, but my coffee maker did not turn it's self off & did not have any functions other then taking up a lot of counter space. Now I can keep both the coffee & burr grinder out.

 I did kind cook to day. I made tuna sandwiches. 
1can of albacore tuna in water
3TB miracle whip (I said it was good not fat free)
1 carrot peeled, diced
1-2 ribs of celery
1/2ts of newbay seafood seasoning
1/2 ts pepper
Mix in a bowel & server on whole wheat bread. Its better the next day too.
