Who Needs Magic, When You Have LeBron?

Wow, last night was amazing. I have no voice, got bear spilled on my head several times, and chanted MVP all the way home.


{video of everyone celebrating!}

Whether you are a basketball fan or not, I am sure that you heard about LeBron's buzzer- beater.

Being in the arena last night as that shot went in with one second left was unbelievable. This guy is UNREAL. As the shot dropped in, the place went crazy. The madness was unlike anything I had ever seen before! We didn't get home until 2:30 a.m. but it was worth it. Here are some pictures!

Yes, we are all witnesses.

The legend and my secret boyfriend :)

Hubs' secret girlfriends :)

The view from out seats.

We won!!!!!!!!!!!

For the rest of the weekend, hubby and I are attending a few cookouts and also finishing up some long overdue projects around the house. I reminded hubs this morning that if he works hard we work hard, we can play hard haha. :)

But at the same time, I am feeling a little guilty because I get these random project ideas into my head and then want them executed immediately.

For example, while waiting to check out at Home Depot a few days ago, I picked up a magazine and while flipping through, I saw a picture of a bedroom that I fell in love with. So the next thing I know, we are buying paint, I am ordering a new duvet cover and pictures, and we are re-doing our whole bedroom. I get inspired easily. :) Is anyone else like this? Please say yes. I really hope that I'm not alone!!! :)

But to my defense, that's what hubby gets for dragging me into Home Depot for hours in the first place. Looking at hardware, doorknobs and lawnmowers isn't really what I would call thrilling, so I have to resort to other forms of entertainment.

So I cracked

and bought a scale this weekend. I haven't owned a scale in over a year. This means that I won't be able to make false claims about my weight anymore. I'm actually going to have to hold myself accountable.

Also, just this morning, I ordered this butt kicker DVD which came in highly recommended by a few friends and coworkers.

It's a 20 minute workout every day for 30 days. I will probably do it every morning before I go to work. Easy enough. Right?

Probably not. From the reviews I read, this is grueling. [For ex: "This is an all out balls to the walls fitness regime that is very painful, grueling and intense."] Did they just say balls to the walls? haha.

So my copy should be arriving in the mail next week. And once I get started, I will keep you posted on my progress. My temporary inability to squeeze fit into my clothes will hopefully be just that: temporary. Fingers crossed.

There you go! My new and improved tush kickin' workout plan!

Now if any of you have any good healthy recipes that you are willing to share, my thighs I would appreciate it. :)

Edited to Add:
Why am I doing this? A lot of people kind of rolled their eyes at me when I mentioned embarking on this 30 day program. I'm know I'm not overweight, and I don't think I'm fat. I'm a small person. That said, I can't button some of my favorite jeans, and that makes me mad. I also cannot make it up three flights of stairs without getting completely out of breath. I don't necessarily want to lose weight, but I want to have a more defined and more toned shape. I'd like to have a great body and I want to be healthy.

Hello, 2009

Hello loves! I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year celebration! I think ours counts as awesome because we spent it with good friends and food. So, in the spirit of the New Year (and the fact that I just turned 25, ugh), here are my resolutions that I absolutely have to keep:

1. Use eye cream every day
2. Go to bed by 11 every night (weekends are exceptions) Force myself to eat more fruits
3. and veggies
4. Cook dinner at least once a week + overall become more domestic...Don't laugh, I'm serious!
5. Go to church regularly
6. Wear the clothes in my closet that still have tags on them
7. Take cooking classes
8. Call my parents every other day
9. Work out regularly.... also pretty much just get healthy and fit
10. Try to relax more
11. Hangover-free in 2009
12. Try to be more punctual
13. Be a better friend
14. Travel, travel, travel
15. and last but NOT least…. Be the best wife I can be :)

So there you have it.
