Thanksgiving Pig Out / Muffin Top with Shortmama!


Okay, some of you may have already seen this picture. But I saw it for the first time on Thanksgiving - and it freakin' cracked me up! I kept looking at it all day and laughing my head off. (Too bad I couldn't laugh my muffin top off) I know - easily amused.

I'm joining in with Shortmama today for Journey from Muffin Top to Skinny Jeans. I jump in occasionally, although I really want to be consistent, both with my journey, and with blogging about it!

She asked us about Thanksgiving. I believe her exact words were: "Did you only eat small amounts of food? Or were there pig noises coming from your mouth as you scarfed down every morsel? "

Pig noises here. But in my defense - my brother hosted, and so his family (us, my other bro, my parents) AND his wife's whole family came - and EVERYONE brought food! So there was a plethora of scrumdiddlyumptious food to choose from! Only, I didn't really choose, more like I sampled everything. Only, I didn't really sample since that would imply small portions. Like I said - pig noises.

One good thing - I'm not much of a pie fan, so I can honestly say, I didn't pig out on pie! And I have been really good all week! Although I'm a little discouraged, because the scale is NOT reflecting my good behavior this morning. Boo. I'm trying to muster up all my strength, because I'm going to a partay tonight at Tanielle's - which is sure to offer up some tasty temptations. So please, my friends - lets have some encouraging words/ tough talk/ slapping me around - anything to prepare me to be strong and resist the temptation tonight.

How was your Thanksgiving?

If you eat anything at Tanielle's?
Make sure you eat enough for me. 'Kay?
I know, I'm no help.

I wish I could give you words of encouragement, but I have none. I'm in kind of a "sieze the day" kind of place at the moment, and I say ENJOY!
But I'll try to be supportive. It's all about moderation. Have a little bit of each thing.
Did it work?

Stay close to the Veggie tray. that fresh taste and crunchy-ness TOTALLY saves me!!

I'm With Sare. Stick near the veggie tray or fruit. I love to eat too, but I have had to learn how to moderate my portions. I know you can do it too. Remember I'm right there with you, and if you don't eat right I may make you skate with me! HAHAHAHAHA! That'd be funny, you and me skating with hula hoops!

'm so excited to see a post from you that I didn't even read it. I just jumped right to the comment section to say...YEAH YOU"RE BACK!
Shawn said…
Ok, read the post...


Umm, here's my advice. Share everything you eat with a friend that way it only counts as half!

So did you manage to make it through the partay without more pig noises?
I'm not a pie eater either. I didn't pig out, but I also haven't worked out but once in a month, so....I'm definitely not losing anything. I'm a bad influence on you! BUT, I gained 8 pounds last year and I haven't gained anything this year, so that's progress, right???

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...

Mod Podge to the Rescue

Have you noticed that eggs and nests seem to be a common theme in home decor - especially with people making some decor changes for spring? I've seen some pretty cute stuff! For example - what do you think of these? If you like this look, you can get it at Williams-Sanoma. You'll pay $36 for the eggs, and $68 for 1 glass hurricane. They don't include the greenery! Sheesh! Maybe you could go online and find the whole look, already put together, like this: You'll pay $39 for that teeny one, and if you'd like a larger one - you'll shell out $89! Good thing I'm the Queen of Mod Podge! Remember this beauty that I found at the DI for $5? Well, I gathered up my trusty mod podge, the left over scrap book paper from this project, some plastic eggs that I got for 79 cents at Walmart, and a bag of moss that was around $2, also from Walmart. I mod podged the eggs closed so they wouldn't pop open while I was working with them, then I cut the scrapbook paper into ...
