Good morning!
This morning I woke up to a pleasant surprise—a two-hour delay at work! Perhaps I need to drink some hot chocolate and build a snowman. š
Actually, the roads are just icy. So no snowman for me :).
Just a quick note to let you know about a format change for the blog! I’m not going to be posting all my eats for the day anymore; rather, it will just be highlights so you only get the good stuff. š Don’t worry, you can still look forward to random thoughts, lots of pizza pictures, healthy and no-so-healthy recipes, and gentle ribbing of silly American Idol contestants.
I’ll leave you with this picture to cheer you up if it’s icy where you are too:
Clearwater Beach! One of my fave places in the world and where I will be lounging in exactly two more months. Sorry if this image made you sad rather than cheered you up. But remember my Target rant about the bathing suits? I have decided to look at this entire winter situation differently, and embrace Target’s plot to sell out of their bathing suits before the rest of the stores even come out with theirs, thus eliminating all competition.
I’m on to you, Target. But I might as well join the ranks of your swimsuit-buying customers and purchase one now, then put it on every night and kill two birds with one stone:
A) it will motivate me to work out and B) it will remind me that sunshine and beaches do exist, just not at this particular moment in Indiana (well, ok, beaches do not exist at any particular moment in Indiana).
Be back soon! I’ll let you know how that swimsuit-buying expedition turns out!
It is freezing here today, so that picture DID cheer me up. But also made me jealous that you are going there. š
I want to go to a beach! It’s much nicer to look at beachy pics than cold and freezing rain pics š
Have a great day!
Oh, I’m soooo jealous. I could totally go for a beach trip right about now (anytime really)!!!
LOVE THE BEACH!!! I want to go now!! People who have access to beaches all year round make me jealous! š
ooo the beach how I miss theee
i want to be on a beach right now! the mountains are great, but the ocean is where it’s at š
Target has some really cute swimsuits right now, my sister bought two last week!! I joined a gym yesterday!! Woo hoo for me, bound to lose it and tone it!! Good luck on shopping, its so hard to shop for swimsuits when its freeeezing outside!!
YAY! What gym did you join? š
ahhhhh beach/ocean/sunshine/warmth, I miss you. Right now, I’d settle for just ONE of those things!
I feel you on the bathing suit shopping….I procrastinate EVERY year and then when I really need one, it’s slim pickings. I LOVE Target’s suits! I like Victoria’s Secret, too (they have a TON), but it stinks because you have to order them online and never know how they’ll fit.
I’m jealous of your upcoming vacation!! Hopefully by then it will at least be breaking 50 degrees here. š
Don’t you have a little bit of lake front beach up North? Granted it’s never going to be one of those tropical stick an umbrella in your drink type of beach, but you’ve got more beach than we do here in Iowa.
Good luck on the shopping! Be sure to reward yourself by wearing it in your living room and sipping on piƱa colada. Even if under a blanket, you can still make your own summer!
ahh this picture made my day!! <33
hope youre having a terrific day lovely lady
We’re supposed to get some freezing rain tonight so I’m all for imagining places that are WARM!
lol I noticed walmart selling “olympic” bathing suits the other day.
I wont lie, I almost bought one.
That beach looks beautiful!!!

Gorgeous photo! It made me happy and LONG for the beach. š Soon, I hope! Love the idea of trying on your bathing suit every night! LOL – if that doesn’t get us moving NOTHING will! š

BEACH TRIPPPPPP- what a motivator. seriously. we gotta ROCK the bikinis..in like 6 months?
=D
Two month till vacation.. I’m counting down with you. Mine starts March 13th. Yahoo!! But I won’t be swim suit shopping for Italy. Looks like you’re going to have a blast!! Some heat to look forward to while the rest of us are still getting artificial sun.. listening to sounds of waves crashing, and pretending that the tanning bed is is the best lounge chair ever!
I love the delicious looking eats. Keep it comin š
I may not be ready for a swimsuit, but I’m so ready for a nice day at the beach!
that beach looks amazing! i cannot wait to get a swimsuit and migrate somewhere warmer š
Wow that beach looks incredible. I sure wish I was there. Paris is so cold and unfriendly in the winter….
Superb inofimatron here, ol’e chap; keep burning the midnight oil.
