G.T.L.

For those who have not seen the MTV horrific show, Jersey Shore,
G.T.L. = gym - tan - laundry {at least i think}
I saw the train wreck of a show once, so don't quote me.
But now that summer has arrived i am more in the mood for G.T.L.

no more white pasty, vampiress for me... next to boyfriend, i am Casper.

i am so excited for the pool to finally be warm enough to swim in, and days hot enough to lay out in the sun and enjoy a good book. i always need to work on my laundry skills, i have tons of clothes so i am terrible with making them all clean until i have about 5 loads to do.
Lastly, gym. Last night boyfriend and i went to the gym and did some cardio, i believe it was the first time in 2011 i was at the gym and actually got a good work out in :)

G.T.L. love xoxo

Yesterday was Mother's Day,
Happy Momma's day to the best woman I know.
I spent the day with her, first at church, then at her home. I made her an excellent meal, which preparations started for on Saturday:

1st went grocery shopping
2nd boiled potatoes and eggs
3rd mixed up potato salad - refrigerate
4th mixed up pie fillings {apple and blueberry}
5th filled pies, put on top crust and baked
6th clean up the kitchen!

Sunday all that was left was to slow-cook the pork :) cooked in A&W Rootbeer - YUM! let cook on low for approx. 7 hours, put on hamburger buns and PERFECTO. Served with corn on the cob, salad, baked beans and potato salad. Let's just say everyone had one happy full belly.
Top it off with apple or blueberry pie {yes, I had a slice of both -a very small slice of each}

All in all, and excellent day :) Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's DAY!!

TWILIGHT

after many, many hours today, i have finally finished my Portland trip video.
