And there are no survivors to tell the truth.
So we all know what pinterest has done to our kitchens... and our wallets.
Here was tonight's adventure.

Banana chips without all the shit the store outs in... what??
So I learned at the nutfactory that banana chips are covered in added sugar and banana flavoring... what? On one hand I'm totally surprised and on the other I'm not. We add things to preservative them (and wonder why the average age of death has increased over the last few decades) but banana flavoring to a banana?? Really.
Thanks to pinterest I found my own recipe for banana chips and 5 hours later they have been kid approved.

March , shit to conquer
Alright so you already saw that I've got some goals for the year, but I'm also making monthly goals for myself. I'm trying to make some changes and they say it takes what 7, 14 days to make a habit???? I figure lets try a month. So here you have it... Drumroll
1) taxes I've got a few returns to get done and I want to do them all this month.
2) 50 burpee's a day. This one will suck. Royally. But burpee's are one of the best total body exercises and I think even though I will whine my body will benefit.
3) devotional, it's on my phone and the daily timer goes off everyday at 2 and it takes 5 minutes to slow down and read. I want to be intentional in my relationship with god and finding time to read and think and reflect is the best way I know how.
So there you have it. Three goals for the month... Wish me luck!!!!

2013 Goals
So I am not a new years resolution type person, and besides it's almost March so I would be procrastinating PRETTY HUGE if I were to make resolutions right now, so lets just call them goals.
This year (as of this moment) my participation in the SGK 3 day is a crew member, if you have ever heard me talk about my ultimate 3 day experience it would be to crew the Arizona walk and then the next weekend, 4 days later, walk the San Diego walk. Last year I walked San Diego, and for the moment I am signed up to crew the Arizona walk. It's on my heart to try to fundraise so that I can make my ultimate experience happen. But time will tell.
Anyway- because of my commitment level at this moment only being a crew member I am not heading into prime training season yet, so I have a few goals. See the 3 day really is a huge commitment because you spend every weekend during training season doing just that - training. Your ability to garden and weed the flower bed does not happen, which is quite okay since I have a black thumb, the repair projects and creative projects and movies you want to see get passed over for a nap not he couch after a 10 mile walk, so I am thinking while I don't have a training schedule that I might get a few "wish-projects" done.
And to keep me accountable, I am putting them on this here cyber-web.
1) get Scrapbook current (this was my project for February) and I am almost done, I have a few missing events, but seriously not to far behind at this point.
2) take a photography class. I took one in high school, you know aperture, f-stop, all that jazz, and I have 2 super fancy cameras that do all the tricks, but I really want to re-learn the information and not even turn it into a hobby just know how to get great pictures from my camera -- this benefits goal 1 !!
3) crochet a blanket - I want a modern granny square couch throw. I am narrowing down the patterns, and thinking about colors. This needs to happen this spring.
4) Finish landscaping my pond - you don't even know I have a pond. Here's a photo. (or two) they are awful photo's and don't really give you any idea of what my pond looks like, but its big. it has water in it. and turtles. and fish. and desperately needs to have the outside of it painted and some landscaping (of fake plants of course) around it.
5) This is C's "goal" and 1/2 mine, but it's a lofty one. the backyard. We have grand plans (don't we all) and they seem over the top, so we need to scale them back and then get busy. It's time to get these hands dirty… right after I finish making my headboard.
To some these goals don't seem huge, but to me they are the few things that frustrated me about my energy level that comes with training, my motivation to do more work went out the window. Seeking balance and if I can feel like I've accomplished these things maybe I will listen to that gut feeling to crew the Arizona 3 day and walk the San Diego 3 day.
