ps. didn’t realize how terrible I looked in that picture .. but it felt soo good :)

So while I was surfing Wordless Wednesday websites, I found a bunch of other memes that I’d like to participate in .. one of which is Slow Cooker Thursday. I would love to throw a bunch of things in a pot in the afternoon and have a good hot meal for dinner .. but the recipes I’ve read always sounds so .. hmm .. 1950′s fatty? They sound like they need alot of butter and will really weigh you down. So I’d like to know .. does anybody anybody out there have some lighter tasting crock pot meals?? Angelle, I have a feeling you’ll know of some :) Post comments or links!!

OH and if you want to check it out:

I can’t take a Wordless Wednesday .. I dont think I really understand the concept. I kind’ve think you’re supposed to post a picture that basically tells a story, with no explanation necessary .. but as I went through the links on Wordless Wednesday I found plenty of pictures with words on them and stories explaining them. Wordless Wednesday doesn’t have any rules though .. so I’ll never really know what it means :) Anyways .. now that I’ve broken my silence I can tell you about my picture. Rocky graduated last night from beginning training .. he did very good, and the commands I learned during his class, I’ve brought home to the other 2 .. so everybody knows how to sit now! (We’re working on stay)

I actually made it to the gym today .. for the first time in 3 weeks .. did 30 min on the treadmill (yay) which equaled only a mile and a half. There’s a 5k at the end of October that a few girls I know are joining in on .. and I’d like to try it.. 5k is 3.1 miles .. and I can get through 1.5 miles, slow, but no problems .. so I really hope I’ll be running 3 miles soon.

New TV shows started this week .. today I have nothing to watch at 8pm .. so I’m watching Kid Nation .. and they just killed a chicken :( and they showed the headless chicken flapping around :( Ugh .. I know .. thats where my food comes from .. and there’s no way I could not eat meat (I enjoy it too much) .. but still!

Alright here’s a picture to leave you with .. I’ve typed most of this with little girl sitting on my chest.

We believe its a Yellow Garden Spider, and its not too harmful .. she’s also too high for the dogs to reach her .. so we can watch and be amazed at her size and color!
