Mi Bella Vida

On Wednesday I went down to Peachtree City to take my sister’s senior pictures and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It had been raining all morning and I was afraid that we wouldn’t be able to go out and take pictures but the weather was on my side! The sun came out and we had wonderful weather despite being so incredible hot throughout the shoot. I’m still doing something editing but I thought I was post my favorite pictures from the shoot

I had such a fun time. We plan on doing another shoot in the fall and I can’t wait!

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

Every week day I wake up and do the basics…make the bed, brush teeth, and make breakfast but once all that is done its time to get my day started. I LOVE to start my mornings with a good cup of tea and going through my bookmarked blogs. Today as I was going through one of my favorite blogs, MadeByGirl , I saw that she had posted a link to another blog and I am so happy I clicked! I love, love, love, love this blog. This girl is so creative!! She  made me want to go to Peachtree City and steal back my sewing machine from sister! I’m gonna do that by the way, take my sewing machine back once I get a house.

The name of the blog is Saidos da Concha and she is from Lisbon, Portugal. She makes her posts in Portuguese and English so that’s pretty cool. I thought I was reading Spanish until I came across a word that was not Spanish and I was like ‘ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I knew that was spelled differently.’ Blonde moment, I know. Anywho, she has a wonderful Etsy shop that makes me want to spend the little money that I have.Go check her out and try not to spend your all money!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I did! I saw Harry Potter and went to Marietta Diner on Friday. It was fun catching up with the boys. Saturday was a wonderfully lazy day Sunday I went to Hartwell, Ga. Chris’ great aunt Inez turned 90! We went to a birthday party for this spunky little lady! She does not look 90 at all! She’s sharp too!

Today is Day 7 of the South Beach Diet and so far so good. I haven’t had any more withdrawal symptoms. I’m feeling alright but I’m really tired. Since I’ve started the diet I have had a hard time sleeping at night. I’m not sure if they are related or not but I would love a good night’s sleep so that I can wake up early.  I have been sleeping in all this past week. I don’t really like sleeping in because I feel like I’m wasting my day. Sleeping in also keeps me from going to the gym.  I don’t have the motivation/desire to go because it messes up my eating schedule. The worst thing we can do is mess up my eating schedule, I get angry. I need my food.

I have also started to study for the GMAT again. I put the book down for a while but its time to pick up the book again. I have been doing well on the drills in the book but I have yet to take a practice test. The English part is easy but the Math part is going to kick my ass.  I won’.t be taking the test till about December.  I want to ensure that I will get a good score. GA State has a median score of 602 for their business program and I am aiming at a 625. I need all the studying I can get if I want a 625.  Wish me luck.

I think I will be trying new recipes this week as well. My friend has asked me to make him some Green Tea Ice Cream and I think I will have the time to do it this week. I also have another recipe in mind. A friend of mine gave me her recipe for Greek Yogurt and I have yet to try it.  I’m hoping to give both recipes a try this week.

How was your weekend?
