Welcome April...

...after about two weeks! I know! I was just checking on my favorite blogs and realized I haven't posted yet in April. How impatient I would be if some of my favorite bloggers did not write for that long!

There are two women that I have been watching closely because, well, the are overdue to give birth! One many of you may know, cjane, and the other is my Orchestra Director from High School. I keep checking FB and Blogger to no avail! If I am anxious, I can only imagine how they feel.

The weather here in VA has been so glorious. If you haven't been to VA in the spring, you really need to. I think that in VA, schools should let out in April so everyone can enjoy this amazing sunshine before it gets too hot, and go back to school in August! (Yes, I did happen to shorten the length of the school year... :-)

Today Hubs and I went on a long long loooooooooong walk, over the mountain and through the woods sort of deal. The weather was so nice, I didn't even realize we walked about 6 miles. I feel so healthy now, but I have been craving salt and chowing on potato chips so it's probably even right about now.

Lately I've been wanting all sorts of junk food. Potato chips, pop, chocolate, ice cream, etc. And I think I've figured it out a bit... I've been trying to eliminate High fructose corn syrup, as well as artificial sweeteners. Sweet mother, did you know that HFCS is in practically EVERYTHING!?! I am surprised it is not in these potato chips I am chowing on. Also, I've been looking for a yogurt that does not have artificial sweeteners in it and it is hard! The market for yogurt is defiantly those ladies who want no calories! What about those ladies who want calcium, and fruit, but no sweeteners? Trust me they are out there! I am trying to be healthy so here is my goal for April: drink more water, exercise a bit. Wii fit counts as exercise by the way.

Hubs' has a birthday at the end of the month, he will catch up to this old lady :-) I am getting him some sweet shoes from L.L.Bean. They are pricey, but I am hoping they last more than 2 weeks like other shoes tend to for Hubtheshoekiller.

In other news, my parents are coming for a visit this coming weekend. YAY!!! :-D

  1. Hey Jen, nice to know you're looking forward to a visit from good ole mom & dad. I think you may be out of date on your last post: I clicked on cjane (to find out who it is) and learned they had an arrival in late March. We're really enjoying spring here too. See ya soon! Dad

  2. My hubby is pretty tough on shoes, too. I always cringe when we spend crazy money to get him the sturdy ones, but in the long run, it really pays off. Cheap shoes might as well be made of paper. Have fun with your parents!

    HFCS IS in everything! Bummer!
