Splendid Swap Party

By Hblack79

 Good Morning!!

I have missed y’all!  This past weekend I chaperoned a middle-school camp at Waukaway Springs with my church and it was the bomb.com.  I don’t have a lot of pictures, mainly because I didn’t want to put a bunch of middle schoolers on the blog without their parents consent and because I was wrapped up in all the fun!  We were team YELLOW (#yellowswag) and we pretty much killed it with competitions!  Your team could get points for a team member who did something good (i.e. clean-up after lunch when everyone else had left, be kind to someone, etc.)  and then we had competitions throughout the weekend where we got points, plus we had chants and cheers that got points for how good they were.  Basically, our team rocked it!  I had a blast hanging out with a bunch of middle-schoolers and my small group was the best!  It was quite an adventure for this “non-woodsy” girl though!

I made my sweet girls little goody bags with some candy, a note w/ my contact information, and a #1 sticker to get the in the spirit with our YELLOW team.

   

I arrived back Sunday night and was completely exhausted, but Nick was in town, so I mustered up some energy to spend time with him.  We had pizza with some friends, then went to TJ Maxx and Target.  I was in bed by 9am and slept super well!  Yesterday was a catch up day – so I did laundry, went to work, studied for my Series 6 exam, and went to the gym. 

I finally received my Splendid Swap Party gift from Jess!  She e-mailed me to let me know that the Post Office delayed her shipment, so I finally got it yesterday and it was absolute PERFECTION!  I strongly encourage y’all to read Jess’ About Me page because she has been through some serious stuff and is SO STRONG!  I admire her so much!  Also, she lives right down the road from Disneyland… so there’s that nugget of information!

Here’s what Jess got me:

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Nail Polish
  • Disneyland Post Card
  • H Disney Pin
  • Disney Coffee Mug
  • Limoncello candle

I could not have been paired up with a more perfect person!  She is the best!

Last night I attempted the 10 to 6 WORKOUT again and yet again… I only got through set 10 and 9.  This sucker can be rough.  Maybe I’m just lazy, I don’t know!  My goal is to get to a point where I can complete the entire 10 to 6!  It works every muscle and I love it.

After my workout I got sucked into the first episode of Big Brother this season!  It’s going to be good and I really like the players this season!

This morning for BREAKFAST I went for a bowl of Kashi Go-Lean cereal w/ blueberries & a Kashi Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie.

Now I’m off to work and I’m excited to do another HIIT class tonight!  That class makes me perfectly sore, it’s almost addicting!

  • Do you watch Big Brother?  Whose your favorite player?  (Remember I’ve only seen Episode 1 at this point!)
  • What’s your favorite workout class?
