null - Ok click on that if you have a minute and tell me which you think would look cuter on me.... I am thinking of going super short......
Here are my fav's -
1. Charlize Theron
2. Lisa Rinna
3. Maggie Gyllenhall

I don't look good with longer hair, I just need to stop being lazy and go to the hairdresser more than 2 times a year.... ;) I need a style a really really love. I did love the last one, but if I am going to have short hair, I want it to be fast enough to do it 5 minutes!
Sorry - this is an annoying post, I know.... But I am just at a loss as to what to do!

Thanks Han!

So Tuesday night I picked up Hannah (2) and she kicked me under the kneecap with her awesome super hard and pointy dress up shoes. OUCH!!!! My knees are bad enough already and that is a SUPER sensitive spot that always hurts to touch anyway... So, I spent a while with ice on it that night and decided Wed a.m. that I could go ahead and walk on it. BAD idea - after 45 minutes on the treadmill it was throbbing so bad I had to stop - and after 2 hours with ice I still couldn't walk on it...
THEN I decided to still go walking with a friend Thursday morning (I don't get to see her nearly enough) and then go to Wal-Mart. By the time I got home my knee was toast. I am sooooo frustrated! I would give anything for a body that would let me do everything I want to! So... instead of my siper hard Friday workout that I look forward to all week I am laying on the couch with more ice.
Oh well, such is life! Hopefully I will be good enough to start again by Monday!

Just thinking....

After reading THIS post I did a lot of thinking.... Trainer Momma described my home growing up to a T - except that my Mom did NOT have stashes of candy anywhere - there was simply no candy in our home growing up. If we went to a cousin or friends house we would head straight for the candy bowl for a "fix". We didn't trick or treat either - so we got candy very rarely.... So here is what I have been thinking about - why do I not love candy so much that I can't be trusted around it? The Trainer Momma does - my brothers do.....
Here is what I came up with - as soon as I could cook my Mom would let me make cookies and such about anytime I wanted. So when I was stressed or just wanted something sweet I would bake! My outlet became cooking instead of treats. Although baked goods are still the hardest things for me to say no to, at least they satisfy more than a butterfinger I guess.
I loved baking oatmeal cookies, carrot cookies and whole wheat banana bread - some of the same things I still bake when I am stressed or craving sweets. What I am trying to figure out is if that is better or worse.... I have been known to eat an entire pan of Nutella Cheesecake brownies when I was depressed - I am sure a Snickers would have been better than that..... I usually am pretty good at self control, but for sure baked goods are the hardest things for me to deal with!
