sorry its been so long since last post. no good excuse, really. but thanks beck, for reminding me to blog!
i've started yoga classes. to say that i love it is an understatement. my instructor is awesome, and i always leave feeling like someone gave me a happy pill. i think i have found my niche.
apparently my oldest has been learning yoga at school, and she is able to practice the poses right along with me. fun!
we got to go see my hubbys new office building, very art deco, and almost straight out of the brady bunch episodes. everything is orange and avocado. sounds weird and tacky, but it isn't .
i want to work there just to hang out with all the cool furniture. they also have their own cafeteria there too, which looks an awful lot like a wolfgang puck restaraunt. i want to work there too! they are a very health concious company, so when they built the restaraunt, there were no fryers allowed at all. and they even prepare take home meals so the employees can take home meals if they don't want to cook dinner. they have an outside area to eat, with tons of outdoor furniture. the whole place is wireless, so you don't have to work in your office, you can go sit outside (and it is encouraged). there are walking trails too......
so needless to say, i guess i don't feel so bad when he has to work late anymore, this place is awesome!
i've been planting several container gardens, some gerber daisies and some cool pink flowers i forget what they're called. then some bradley tomatoes and basil (yum). the kiddos started their container gardens from seed and i can't believe how well they are doing. they've got butter lettuce, cukes and carrotts. very cool to watch grow. i "rescued" a hibiscus plant that is now on my front porch, with lots of blooms ready to open soon! i love going to the reduced rack at lowes to see what i can rescue. so far i've gotten the hibuscus plant/tree and some petunias and another yellow flower i forget what it is, and they are all thriving. i feel like it is a challenge to see if i can get them going. not that they are in too sad a shape when i buy them, most of the time i can't figure out why they were on the reduced rack. you can't beat the prices!!
my latest baking success has been this buttermilk coconut chocolate chip pie. its a recipe from coastal living, and super easy! it got rave reviews from everyone who tried it. i think this will be my new signature dessert. besides cupcakes, of course! speaking of coconut, of which i am a big fan, i had this coconut cake at this place called henpeck market in franklin, and i was just blown away. it was so good! now i am on a mission to make cupcakes that are similar.....we'll see how that goes.
well, that's all i've got for now! talk at you soon!
