Look what I found at the local Wal-Mart.
Chobani!! I was grabbing some other yogurt and looked up and – BAM! – there it was. I only let myself get 2 just in case I didn’t like it. I got strawberry and strawberry-banana – which I tore into as soon as I got the groceries put away. And oh goodness gracious is this stuff good. I’m in love.
Dear Chobani, thank you for coming to my neck of the woods.

I was out in our garden tonight picking the first batch of green beans. It is a fairly small collection but I found tons of little buds just starting that will be ready shortly. We also have 1 pepper starting to grow and one nice medium size tomato. Not bad for our first attempt!
Oh and I had a little helper tonight too. I had Grux out in the yard with me and I was keeping an eye on him to make sure he didn’t get into the basket of beans. Well one time when I looked up he was sticking his head in the basket and there was something green in his mouth. So I told him no and chased him away from the basket and went back to picking. Well, when I picked up the basket to come inside I looked down and there next to the beans was a long blade of grass. Grux wasn’t eating the beans, he was adding his own harvest! Such a silly little guy. Doug and I have determined we have our own little farmer on our hands.
So I’ve been trying to ramp up my gym routine a bit lately. Other people are starting to notice the results of my work (woohoo!) and I’m totally encouraged to keep kicking it up a notch. I’ve been wanting to start lifting weights and hitting the weight machines but I never really know what to do.
So I got this:
I’m a little scared.
I’ve seen this book on quite a few healthy living blogs and finally decided to give it a shot the other day when we made an Amazon order. I haven’t started it yet since it just came in the mail but I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.
So I started doing the 30 Day Song Challenge on facebook and I thought I share my picks here. So here are days 1-10.
Day 1 – Your favorite song: Crush by Dave Matthews Band. This way hard because I love so many songs but I really, really love this one. So it wins.
Day 2 – Least favorite song: Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. I hate it so much I refuse to go find the video.
Day 3 – A song that makes you happy: My Sharona by The Knack.
Day 4 – A song that makes you sad: Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler. No video – no sadness here!
Day 5 – A song that reminds you of someone: Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band. Reminds me of my awesome husband 
Day 6 – A song that reminds you of somewhere: Two Step by Dave Matthews Band. From Deer Creek. I adore Deer Creek (Noblesville, Indiana – it is the Verizon Wireless Center now but it’ll always be DC!).
Day 7 – A song that remind you of a certain event: Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters. My first rock concert was Red Hot Chili Peppers with opening act Foo Fighters. I’d been to country music concerts before but this was my first rock show (and my first show with friends and not my mom).
Day 8 – A song that you know all the words to: MMMBop by Hanson.
Day 9 – A song that you can dance to: Canned Heat by Jamiroquai.
Day 10 – A song that makes you fall asleep and feel relaxed (more the relaxed part): Break Free by Dave Matthews Band.
Happy Saturday! Grux is loving this summer weather we’re having now. We were out watering the garden (more on that soon) and he was chilling in the shade. I walked over to try to snap a picture of him rolling in the grass and he popped up right as I snapped and I caught this. It is so very Grux.
