I decided to take Laura up on her kitchen challenge, and of course being the “last minute” person that I am, I picked almost the last day to do the organizing!

The last time I actually fed cereal to a baby was more than year ago! Yeah, I am not proud.

Apparently I WILL actually try anything!! I don’t recommend this!

Yes, I like tea, and apparently the Tetley people has all my money now!

Ahh…. so neat and organized! Yey! Thanks Laura!

Since I was like “yey” big, I’ve loved watches, obsessively. In my lifetime, I think I’ve owed easily more than a hundred! They weren’t all ESQ and some were, admittedly of the $10 variety, but no less, I love watches!
Recently however, I have been put on a bit of a watch ban by the powers that be (ahem, mousehunter), and so I feel like I might be suffering from a little bit of withdrawal since I think that my last watch was bought about one and half years ago!! oh.the.injustice!
Anyways, I have to say that while I am attracted to those with, umm, high price tags, I am unnaturally fond of Fossil watches. No, this is not a Fossil review, but I honestly I think their styles are cool and the prices are very good, especially for addicts!!
So… which do you like?

- this one is very much my style, silver, bold, but pretty

- also loving the brown (though, I am not really a gold person per se, but it’s pretty!)

- cute!

- it’s been YEARS since I’ve owned a leather watch, but this is tres cute!!

- also fond of this one… my more “earthy” side, I guess!

First, pick the color tube that you would like, and drag it to the base of the hill…

Next, line up in the very chaotic queue…

Hey, where did my tube go??

Oh no, it’s all tangled!

Ok, there you go… I got it out for you!

Umm, this is a bit high!

Scream your way down the hill… and REPEAT…

The main reason that I started playing squash was because my husband did, and I thought that it could be something we could do together… that was about 8 years ago… now I play it because I really enjoy it!
Because…
1) It’s indoors. Not that I am an “indoor” kind of person, but I do live in the great white north and as such, I enjoy the warmth of an indoor sport!
2) It’s high impact. While I am not at the stage where I slam into walls and whatnot, the game really works out all your muscles!
3) It’s competitive. Now, my husband must be the king of competitiveness… he would even compete against our kids (seriously!), and usually I really could not care less about winning, but I do enjoy a challenge, so I will often try to beat him, just so that he does not win!
4) The court is private. Which, for me, means that I don’t have to wear a hijab, or dress modestly, and so the mousehunter gets the added benefit of being able to check out my “assets”! haha
5) Rules are simple. And also, because I play only with my husband, I made a few minor changes to the rules so that I get a very slight advantage!
Today for the first time in, umm, was it 8 years, AND yes, with my “modified” rules, I WON a game!!!!
Come on people… congratulate me!
