comfort zone

i have a comfort zone or maybe bubble that i like to stay in....i always hesitate when something new is placed in front of me. lately i have been testing my comfort zone and trying things that the old shannon would not do. i think about this quote and go for it...b/c after all, what do i have to loose?

monday's should always start off with something pretty....these pretty much fit the bill.

my daughter's favorite song isn't old mcdonald had a farm or twinkle twinkle little star...it's not hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog from the mickey mouse clubhouse or ring around the rosie. nope, not my 3 yr old. when we get into the car, she strictly wants me to play eminem (or rather M&M) and rihanna love the way you lie.....i am sure her teachers will really appreciate that when she sings it at school.

coming soon...

these pics serve as a reminder that fall is right around the corner.....

on another note, jazzercise was a success. i actually really enjoyed it. i think it would do the company some good to "reinvent" themselves/aka change the name from jazzercise. it's just a dance workout class that last an hour and it works your butt off! and for the record, there were no sweatbands or leg warmers in the room (i was kind of disappointed)! we did however, do an occasional jazz walk but no jazz hands ;)

i'm wishing....

for a happy monday.....and that i don't fall on my face tonight at jazzercise b/c my neighbor is making me go (yep, i said it- jazzercise...i bet you thought it ended in the 80's...i'm practicing my jazz hands as we speak).

cooking part II

or rather take two!! good thing i have another year to perfect my skills....see i'm all smiles in the pic b/c i think i have mastered the empanada (which is seriously a fancy word for hot pocket)...until my husband reads the recipe and says we're suppose to have 12 and we only have 6. whoops! reading the instructions correctly is always a plus when cooking. they had twice as much dough as they were suppose to but it didn't ruin dinner. i am not giving up on my quest. i want to try them again and this time, i should lay off the wine until dinner :)

ps. seleta, thanks for my bracelet...i love her ;)
