top of the morning


Howdy all.

I'm road tripping this week, but I just wanted to pop in and say hello.

I also wanted to tell you that I finally got my exercise act together last week and logged some significant walking miles. However, for each mile I walked, I treated myself to a frozen chocolate chip cookie dough ball leftover from the great cookie bake-off, so I'm not sure if it counts. I think it's probably a wash, but now that I'm out of cookie balls, maybe I'll make some headway on the healthy living front.

Or maybe I'll just move on to the tub of dark chocolate cherry almond clusters that somehow made their way into my Costco cart last week.

Only time will tell.

Have a wonderful week!

  11. Dear Teresa, I think Costco has little helpers that sneak things into carts. Sam's Club does too!

    Have fun on your road trip! I love a good road trip! My girlfriends and I are already planning our return trip to the Farm Chicks show in June & I can hardly wait!
    Have you tried the dark chocolate covered blueberries from Costco? They were sampling them before Christmas and I about died when I tasted them. They were so good!

  24. I'm sure all of that walking stirred up some endorphins and made you feel great...cookie dough or not! Love your photo, it's so serene.

  25. Well, it was DARK chocolate,
    which is healthier, right??
    And in my book, best with a
    glass of red wine for antioxidants
    and ultimate healthy treat.

    Awesome pic, btw!

  26. I just stumbled upon your Blog. Being a nature lover and doing a blog here on the shore of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, I must say I found your photo on the January 9th. posting really really nice. I guess anything with water makes my day since here at the lake it is seen almost in every posting and such a part of my life. Thanks for that photo. Jack
