Treats and Snow!

Today was treat day at the office!
I made these little caramel apples out of grapes I found the idea on pintrest

I think they turned out cute and tasty too!

The Barbie House Christmas Decor.........
I added to the tree again ;-)

The top white sprigs

I think I like them they have beads that glisten.
Just have to adjust to it, since its really different.

WE got snow Saturday!
It was so pretty to wake up too.....

Big flakes and I love how wet it was so it stuck to all the trees.

Gracie loved it, she just couldn't figure out why it was coming from the sky ha ha!
Too cute Gracie ;-)

We also had the coolest full moon last night.
Monday the 16th, and I saw 3 accidents on the way home........hummmm
Its so pretty!

Wish I had more on the workouts but its been pretty lame.
With study and the holiday prep, its just been pure laziness :-)

Bunch-O-Selfies!

The Barbie House is ready for Santa!!!!
And I got myself a new Christmas sweater!
I just couldn't wait to wear it though :-)

I also got my New Years top, that I will wear on the day of the work Christmas party. It's lovely jeweled and sleeveless, I love it.

I tried it on with a jacket and belt, just to see how I liked it.
Love. It.

This was the pink plaid scarf I got last year, decided I like it with the color rust......am I crazy or what?

Good news! I got a new stop watch for my Yoga Teacher Training!
Bam, $15 bucks at Walmart.

I don't like shopping there but I found it online and they had just ONE left in the store.
Mine.
All Mine.
What I like is that it is not super duper big, and that it got 31 pretty good reviews.
I read reviews, do you?
 
What I have to practice is timing per second my poses just to be sure I don't run over a 1 hour and that I get them all in.
Whew!
 
As for workouts this week.
 
It has not been pretty with my study time and trying to finish Christmas shopping.
Sounds like an excuse huh?
