Ok. I have to admit, I feel just a little over-the-top excited when I get the rare chance to get out and have some fun time. Luckily, I haven’t robbed a bank. Yet.

Pinterest Fail ~ sharpie written words baked on a coffee mug
I like Pinterest. It’s fun. A total time suck, but fun. I used to pin everything that I saw and liked, thinking ONE DAY I’d actually make to do whatever fun/yummy/crafty to-do the pin was about. Yeah. Right. I’m not super crafty. And lately I really just haven’t had time to get real fancy in…

pv.body wear for my 2013 shapeup!
No, I’m not necessarily doing one of those ‘blah blah lose weight, get in shape’ resolutions. But I am finishing what I started. You see, this year I started working on my weightloss goals and working towards getting back to a healthier me. So far I’ve lost just over 30lbs. It was A LOT of…
