Random Thoughts

I was doing some searching on line and found some great affirmations for abundance.

1. I prosper wherever I turn and I know that I deserve prosperity of all kinds



2. The more grateful I am, the more reasons I find to be grateful


3. I pay my bills with love as I know abundance flows freely through me.

Number 3 is the hardest for me. It is a hard concept to feel positive when paying bills isn’t it? But…we can do it!

Also blog hopin this weekend! My own personal hop is the green button!

I posted earlier today that I would be doubling up on my exercises because I did not feel good yesterday. I did the first P90X workout Legs and back and immediately popped in Kenpo and things did not happen the way I anticipated. That is life right?

I actually felt really great and could have done the Kenpo but ended up having to leave my house, really quickly, with the kids and did not get back until 9:00pm. Do I want to work out at 9pm?
Well I do all the time with my hubby but he is not here tonight so, NO, I don’t want to work out at 9pm.

Tomorrow is suppose to be my rest day so now I am rethinking my week and taking yesterday and rest and doing Kenpo X tomorrow and starting my new week on Friday and will be on track again.

No need to stress, life happens and we are all good. If I don’t have this attitude all I do is stress and give up because “it’s just too hard!” But its not too hard, it’s just life AND life happens!

Happy exercising everyone!

So this is my plan for today!

Yesterday was suppose to be Legs & Back and then AB Ripper and today is Kenpo X. I am going to do the legs and back here in a few minutes when my son goes down for his nap. Later tonight I am going to do the Kenpo when I put the kids to bed at 8pm. kenpo is my favorite of all of them so far so I am keeping this for later when I may not feel up to it as much.

I don’t suggest doubling up on these very much but I feel much better today after my great night of sleep so today I am going to tackle my two workouts!

It is way to easy to get into excuse habits and I am afraid  that if I do not push myself today then it will be easier to slack again later!

Have a good day lovely readers and Happy exercising!

I found a way to make coffee with my broken peculator (it’s slow but works)! Good thing I don’t have to be at a job in the AM or I wold not be able to make it this way.

Picture first, then I will describe:



Today is one of my very best friends 40th birthday so I wanted to find an age related positive thought! Just remember Laura that you will always be OLDER THAN ME! It may only be by 3 months but your are still older! Love you!

I found quite a few quotes I wanted to share!

“Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.” ~Robert Southey, The Doctor

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” ~Satchel Paige

“There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I’m sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.” ~Author Unknown

“You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.” ~Douglas MacArthur

Have a wonderfully positively positive day!

Aren’t they pretty?!

For 60 (I halved this)

6 c of HOT water
¾ c white sugar
2 scant teaspoons salt
½ c salad oil
About 12 c flour (maybe less maybe more) For half of the recipe I ussed 7.
4 eggs
3 TBSP yeast. Note: if fast yeast just add dry to the flour. If slow yeast it has to be dissolved in good warm water with a bit of sugar until it swells and rises. Fast yeast is tiny granules, while slow yeast are tiny round balls. Anyway read on your package)

If slow- 1 c of the water (good warm water, not too hot as it will kill the yeast but if it is too cool it will not rise). Add the 2 TBSP of the 3/4 C sugar and the 3 TBSP of SLOW yeast. Put this directly into the pan you will knead the bread in and then lets it rise. It will bubble and rise to the top of the water.

In a mixing bowl beat the eggs, the oil and the sugar and salt until it is creamy and then begin to stir in the flour. When it is too stiff for the mixer, put it in the yeast mixture and stir. Then add the flour a cup or two at a time and stir and then knead the dough. For good buns don’t make the dough too stiff, it should be a bit sticky. Knead it really good (about 100) good turns. Cover it and let it double in size; knead it down and then when it rises a second time makes little balls, roll them and place them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. We don’t use PAM (non-stick spray) or oil. The parchment paper is wonderful to remove baking. Let them rise (double in size) and bake the buns at 350 degrees for no more than 20 minutes.

I add a small amount of butter on the top immediately after taking them out of the oven.

They were tasty!

My next venture is to find an awesome whole grain recipe. Anyone have one? I know I can make this same recipe with wheat flower but I don’t want wheat, I want a whole grain that won’t be dry.

Happy baking!

I think I may try this book to see if it has a good whole grain recpie in it. The whole grain bread we buy is now $3 a loaf. Ridiculous!
