Fallen off the face of the Earth!

It may seem to most of you that Jaryl and I have either fallen off the face of the Earth OR like most people by March have thrown our new years resolutions out the window. Well BOTH of these are wrong. For the past couple weeks I have been fighting an awful sickness. Some thought it was mono, others Strep, pneumonia, the flu……and after an expensive trip to the doctor (this was an unfortunate first for us because I am not insured.) We found out….. NOTHING. As per usual. Doctors are rarely helpful. But I am finally coming out of it and ready to catch you up on the month.

We have tried these things….. (In addition to the first time going to the doctor un-insured)

AN AMAZING GAME called DICECAPADES!

Brandy and Jaryl took me into Uncle’s Games on one of my sick days so I could pick out a game! This happened to be the first thing I saw when I walked in the door! It had 133 dice (Pictures, numbers, colors,  all shapes and sizes). I cannot even begin to describe how awesome it is. 2-6 players OR teams! It includes drawing, trivia, races, sit-ups, dice stacking and other crazy contests. Pretty much blows Cranium out of the water!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil for YOUR FACE??

That’s right. One of Jaryl’s coworkers was talking about her new beauty secret to her clear and glowing skin…… Extra Virgin Olive Oil on her face…. She said it cleared her acne up like that.  I had to mull it over for a few days. I mean  how could I put oil on my face and expect it to clear my acne?? So finally I got brave enough to do it (after watching several instructional videos on YouTube with teenagers. Really funny stuff.). I have been applying it nightly before I go to bed and when I wake up my skin is smooth and it is definitely clearer!  Best part of all is no chemicals! Jaryl is trying it next.

Pintrest

I finally got on Pintrest……but I have no idea what I am doing. So I have not logged on since.

Facebook Timeline.

I got home a couple days ago and Jaryl excitedly told me that he switched his facebook to the new Timeline. I was so mad! We were a team! How could he go to the dark side without consulting me first?? I just get so annoyed everytime facebook changes it’s format. I can’t even count how many times I have had to re teach myself where everything is. (Remember when there was no stalker feed?). So the point is if Jaryl jumps I jump. So I have timeline now too…..but I don’t have to like it.

Chick Chick Boom!

Battle royale! Two teams of chicks (play with a friend or a computer!) use venus fly traps, bombs, weights, pianos, lightning and other things to destroy eachother! The last chick standing wins. Use defense tactics, power ups or if you prefer just yell at the television! Chick Chick Boom is available on the Wii shop channel. It’s a grand old-time.

Some other things we have tried are Pink lemonade Emergen-C, Pour over Coffee, Chipotle, and Jaryl hand-washed our car!

We are still working hard at writing some new plays and trying to start our own theatre group!

338 Pages!

It’s been a great week filled with new foods, activities and goals! I started off the week by deciding to only have a sugary treat on Saturdays. And I made it! Week two here I come.

The second biggest thing to happen was that my copy of Something Blue by Emily Giffin finally came in at the library. It is the second book to Something Borrowed which was a book that I flew through in one week. Well the big news is that I read all 338 pages of Something Blue in ONE day. Not only that but I worked two jobs that day! I think that’s pretty amazing. ALSO if you have not read these books I think they are pretty amazing and addicting. The movie Something Borrowed with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin was good…but check out the book first.

Jaryl also took some big steps this week in new life goals. He had been studying like crazy for his personal training certification and plans to take the test next month. Besides that he is pursuing new careers and making plans for our future theatre.

Here are some of the foods we tried this week!
 These have 6 grains, including Quinoa! Delicious!

An energy drink filled with green tea and no added sugars. It did the trick when I had to be up at 4AM! Plus I love anything peach! This was my first ever energy drink.

A delicious substitute to a sugary fudgsicle. (Although we try to avoid artificial sweeteners like splenda) These ones taste like chocolate stars!

Today we saw The Secret World of Arrietty. Jaryl will be telling you all about it later tonight! ALSO stay tuned next week for some crazy adventures with….. THIS GUY!
