type='html'>I have been really off my normal routines for a few months and it&#39;s time to get back to my old self. I need to get back to my blogging, working out, sleeping better, getting back in shape, eating healthier, and cutting the alcohol intake. It has been a crazy few months for us. We bought a house, (our first), which is really fun and exciting but it has also been stressful. I also traveled to Hong Kong for work for two weeks in the middle of all of this and now I&#39;m getting ready to go for another two weeks. I have so much to catch up on and so many posts to share!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today, I want to share some helpful links that I have come across and that I am using to get myself back on track. Starting with eating better and holding myself accountable for what I eat. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eatingwell.com/&quot;&gt;Eatingwell.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What I like about this site: The meal planner. It allows you to search for healthy recipes and add them to your menu plan. You can plan the whole week and then view your shopping list which is really nice! It will also total your daily calories and this is helpful if you are trying to lose weight and need to create a calorie defecit. You can also calculate your BMI and it will tell you how many calories you need daily to maintain or to lose weight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivVriZzVi-56ltWAXiHrxiwpjVPu38zK9jgAabbVh88U6lcWLNQnCBEF-5PsLApdh_ZdZH6bkVHuPKuE4b9sAL8TUufN9VyBobC6FtyUh90SJDRJDVDK78Cv-hdYE2TxXmqu3a55NGvl8/s1600/Picture+1.png&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 367px; height: 400px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivVriZzVi-56ltWAXiHrxiwpjVPu38zK9jgAabbVh88U6lcWLNQnCBEF-5PsLApdh_ZdZH6bkVHuPKuE4b9sAL8TUufN9VyBobC6FtyUh90SJDRJDVDK78Cv-hdYE2TxXmqu3a55NGvl8/s400/Picture+1.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622735659494306754&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href=&quot;http://caloriecount.about.com/&quot;&gt;Calorie Counter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;What I like about this site: you can add your own recipes and analyze them so it will break down your nutrition information by serving. It&#39;s really great for me to copy and paste recipes that I want to try directly into here and then get the information so easily. Like many other sites, it too allows you to track your meals, excercise and weight loss progress, however, it is a bit more user friendly than some of the others I have tried to use. It also gives you in depth analysis of your progress and you will be surprised how detailed it is in evaluating your food. It also has an app for the iphone and android.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGSU9AAX-w-oc6oPo9oNDY0UaHIK76Zg3PLWto5LxcQT3xVgyuV7E3zcy0DWp9v9TG6rFa2bBxeqzu64davwUOEDLNvKh9D4K4Br0ilQwPRoJayOwpVpkLqQBZlAHyiPCeUGp9Y6G5tM/s1600/Picture+2.png&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 235px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGSU9AAX-w-oc6oPo9oNDY0UaHIK76Zg3PLWto5LxcQT3xVgyuV7E3zcy0DWp9v9TG6rFa2bBxeqzu64davwUOEDLNvKh9D4K4Br0ilQwPRoJayOwpVpkLqQBZlAHyiPCeUGp9Y6G5tM/s400/Picture+2.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622737565979968290&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next group of links relates to fitness. I wanted to share this new iphone app I found today and also a blog post that has a great ab workout.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://runtastic.com/&quot;&gt;Runtastic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I downloaded the app for my iphone but they also have a website. It is a GPS for outdoor or indoor tracking. I used it today to go for a run around my new neighborhood which I&#39;m not very familiar with yet so it was amazing. It works as a GPS while recording your route on a street map of your neighborhood, tracks your speed, distance, calories burned, and saves them by date so you have a journal of your workouts. It&#39;s my new favorite discovery! I ran 2 1/2 miles today and I felt great so I&#39;m going to be using this one a lot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTGf1zOxEv65C4ZvgCS5nktmg52QqypSdM8-lO1iwNd_IEXwylA1l-bs7Lh0F3dCEp-v1ZuflodlCvq1ZJVYTkCMlsJl-86sBj-AI8Tv_XVKI8RJRUxKbE6ZiIqFHLCfXgDeEGF-aL8Rk/s1600/Picture+3.png&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 236px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTGf1zOxEv65C4ZvgCS5nktmg52QqypSdM8-lO1iwNd_IEXwylA1l-bs7Lh0F3dCEp-v1ZuflodlCvq1ZJVYTkCMlsJl-86sBj-AI8Tv_XVKI8RJRUxKbE6ZiIqFHLCfXgDeEGF-aL8Rk/s400/Picture+3.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622743881071270802&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href=&quot;http://followthelita.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/my-fav-ab-workout/&quot;&gt;FollowTheLita&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a fitness blog I follow and today I came across this post with a video of her abs workout. She posted these P90x videos  off youtube and let me just tell you...they are not easy. I tried them today after my run and I can really feel it. I am going to start incorporating them into my work outs 2 or 3 times a week. Go over the FollowTheLita and check out the videos she has posted under my fav ab workout.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m really tired, it was a long productive day and I need to get some sleep before I start my week all over!

I&#39;ll be the first to admit that self control in the shoe department is not something that I pride myself on. I guess that&#39;s why I ended up with two new pairs today!!! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Call it a mental illness if you will but I just loose all control when shoes come into the picture. Like for example today.... I walk into the store and as I&#39;m approaching the shoes I can feel the A.D.D take over. I don&#39;t know where to look and I&#39;m all over the place. I also know very well that once a shoe is on my foot and I love it, I am simply not leaving without it! Therefore, in an effort to control myself, I am not much of a browser. I only enter a shoe store when I am there to purchase and I have to decide that in an environment free of shoes (so that my decision isn&#39;t swayed of course)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last week was my birthday and I was given money from both my parents and Drew&#39;s so it only made since that new shoes were on the horizon. The first thing I said this morning when I opened my eyes was, &quot;I am going shoe shopping today&quot; When I got there, I really did have every intention of only buying one pair, I really did but I like I said, I loose control. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So there I was sitting in a pile of boxes debating if it was ok to buy three or four pair when I spotted this beautiful pair of Rachel Roy boots. The minute I put my foot in, that feeling came over me! I immediately ran to a mirror to marvel at they&#39;re beauty, leaving my purse and coat on a seat unattended. Luckily other people shopping for shoes today were honest because they could have robbed me blind and I would have never noticed till I went to pay. I&#39;m actually just assuming other people get swooped off to the happy shoe place I&#39;m in and don&#39;t even notice how neglectful I am of my belongings. Anyways, I am really excited about them if you can&#39;t tell. I even had to put them in my trunk on the way home so that I didn&#39;t reck my car staring at them the whole way home!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

The going back to the gym part is really the easy part because I really like to work out. I love being at the gym, I love being sore, and I love the way I feel after a good work out. The hard part is that I really like to cook as well and I like to try new recipes. Most of the recipes that look good and that I want to try are not the healthiest. They&#39;re not terrible usually but they&#39;re not the kind of things that work for me when I&#39;m trying to get really lean. I could make them healthier, but let&#39;s face it, they just wouldn&#39;t taste the same. I&#39;m not going to a totally strict diet just yet, but I am trying to be better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;Saturday night, I made my boyfriend&#39;s sister in law&#39;s salmon recipe and it was really tasty!

style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;1. add flour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;2. cut butter into small pieces (make sure butter is cold)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;3. add butter and shortening and pulse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;4. add ice cube to 1 cup water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;(make sure not to over mix it, you don&#39;t want your butter to be too warm)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;7. when dough start to clump together, remove from the food processor and wrap in plastic wrap.

Let dough sit in the refrigerator for at least a half an hour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Stock:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;1. Add chicken to the stockpot and cover with 1 gallon of cold water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;2. Add vegetables and herbs and bring pot to a boil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;3. Skim pot and then simmer, uncovered for 45 minutes, skimming often.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;4. Remove the chicken to a plate and allow to cool&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;5. Cook the broth for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;6. Use a colander to strain the broth into another pot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;7. Pull out carrots or any other veggies you want to add to the filling and discard the rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;8. When the chicken is cool enough, shred the meat and discard the skin and bones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Filling:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;1.Wipe out the stockpot and put it back on the stovetop over medium heat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;2.Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour to form a roux ( or paste).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;3. Gradually, pour 8 cups of chicken broth, whisking the whole time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;4. Whisk and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, it will look like a gravy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;5.Season with salt and pepper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;6. Add shredded chicken and vegetables and stir to combine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;7. Turn off the heat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;To assemble:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;1. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut a top and bottom piece for your dish. Like I said before, I used four individual ramekins, but you can also use one large casserole dish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;2. Lay your bottom layer of crust&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;3. Fill with chicken and vegetable filling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;4. Lay second layer of crust on top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;5. Cut slits in the top of dough and brush with egg wash.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;7. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and put crocks on a baking sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;8. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until the tops are nice and brown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;9. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;10. Dig in and go into a sleepy pot pie coma!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/feeds/496316883345224631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/2011/01/chicken-pot-pie-from-scratch.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584757042143174636/posts/default/496316883345224631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584757042143174636/posts/default/496316883345224631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/2011/01/chicken-pot-pie-from-scratch.html' title='Chicken Pot Pie From Scratch'/><author><name>Katie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07159635970625955050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeYFWSJwGXBuzEXjtWt_K6-P21JJXXEYieRtuMrULiyZaNXqT3NcTICWZMuEGYys5gd37c4pVxNo4PJT5KT3HdfL2J3WoyBE_GzaGFHQ30HtY83ZPDKdlWngc0WXjNw/s220/l_cf4525e53bd304d7148e2e2629a06f78.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQgkpINI_qhj5KklpyOyGn_NX7n7YEAdBGgumVD3Aw1HmLQJImO17Gdr7AEn2S1iaOLi-c-tE4hWIeWxB08EqX-mha_BGM2dmMTOs-X7hKniP-Voh18QGwJ7sLi433vWyXNPi_1jC_-KQ/s72-c/IMG_0035.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584757042143174636.post-1464656828340115512</id><published>2011-01-09T15:03:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-09T15:17:55.556-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="curtains"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="decorating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="frames"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="interiors"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mini shoes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Shoes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="wine"/><title type='text'>Bedroom Update</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEDZIkx1lD37DnpUPftSv7LZ9VCzNx8dj53hi0uS7ZxJZy5JSDxVdfbkEXV8879lD3CkGEYBrhPNTrDfSPrU-MsB7O89DRgBYvRmPA313KetSihNbZAfjcPpRKWvnPrKFkeVo5zyDyyw/s1600/BEDROOM.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 291px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEDZIkx1lD37DnpUPftSv7LZ9VCzNx8dj53hi0uS7ZxJZy5JSDxVdfbkEXV8879lD3CkGEYBrhPNTrDfSPrU-MsB7O89DRgBYvRmPA313KetSihNbZAfjcPpRKWvnPrKFkeVo5zyDyyw/s400/BEDROOM.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560279329817520514&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I think our bedroom is progressing well but for those who know me, you know that I&#39;m thinking about what else to do to make further improvements.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut milk, agave syrup, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, sea salt and vanilla.  In another shallow bowl, fill with coconut flakes. Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat and add a bit of coconut oil to lightly coat the pan.  Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, coating both sides, and letting soak in slightly, then dip into coconut. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden. To prepare apples, in a  saucepan over medium heat, cook apples, agave syrup, sea salt and spices until apples have softened, about 10 minutes.  Add golden raisins and cook until plumped, then add vanilla.  Place bread on the plates and top each with half the apple mixture. You can also srinkle some extra coconut flakes on top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: arial, Utopia, &#39;Palatino Linotype&#39;, Palatino, serif; font-size: medium; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 61px; &quot;&gt;This was really tasty considering I&#39;m not much of a sweet breakfast person.

It never delivers enough for all the hype! I usually am just frustrated by all of the amateurs out who are so drunk and acting stupid. There are usually fights, covers at bars, and no cabs available! That&#39;s why my boyfriend and I decided to stay in and make a good dinner and have some drinks at home. We did that last year too and after hearing stories from friends the next day, we were glad we did!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Menu for the Evening:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Filet Mignon &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lemon Risotto&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Brussel Sprouts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Many Delicious Drinks!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

It&#39;s sort of a combination of Yoga and Pilates in a hot room. I have to admit I was skeptical until I saw her site and photos of her. She is so lean and defined and she never lifts weights!

These designer Uggs by Jimmy Choo will cost you between $500 and $900. I love Jimmy Choo but for those prices I would rather have a sexy pair of heels by him, not over embellished animal print boots. The pair that the model in the photo above is wearing is $795.

Pork is served on new years in Cuba, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Sweden, the US and probably many more countries as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Some other interesting facts I learned about New Years are that the celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon around 2000 BC. They celebrated it on the first day of spring, not Jan. 1st. The Romans continued to celebrate it but their calender was always changing so the Emperor declared Jan 1st the start of the new year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/feeds/948310146398732430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-another-year.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584757042143174636/posts/default/948310146398732430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584757042143174636/posts/default/948310146398732430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-another-year.html' title='It&#39;s another year...'/><author><name>Katie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07159635970625955050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeYFWSJwGXBuzEXjtWt_K6-P21JJXXEYieRtuMrULiyZaNXqT3NcTICWZMuEGYys5gd37c4pVxNo4PJT5KT3HdfL2J3WoyBE_GzaGFHQ30HtY83ZPDKdlWngc0WXjNw/s220/l_cf4525e53bd304d7148e2e2629a06f78.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcwJ6oNPmL0e6LYgqATJ4keJWCRDpgpeduagWIFCYq2gmX9aWxYbRJRZk_7xMb2jTY_WPsr5NiYIPxyGEAUREtKxldS6CrxKhWnMTM1zGs7m3ra89Es3oZUTRJltUShQ6Wol_q7UXerk/s72-c/newyeardin2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584757042143174636.post-7527323375796974707</id><published>2010-01-02T10:39:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-02T10:46:17.084-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy 2010!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKuoTC7n-U1k_YVMvpc9JvAabJcJJnDM9RYa2t8ka8CCsDWQZUTGkyMW6IHCWw58u97NvgoA5qLmZGGDmXzhwWfQIIDkvaZPJO7NZnEfa7SBHjTbEiMKa4e1Bc9iPh4-HQVdhutUce0o/s1600-h/Untitled-1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKuoTC7n-U1k_YVMvpc9JvAabJcJJnDM9RYa2t8ka8CCsDWQZUTGkyMW6IHCWw58u97NvgoA5qLmZGGDmXzhwWfQIIDkvaZPJO7NZnEfa7SBHjTbEiMKa4e1Bc9iPh4-HQVdhutUce0o/s400/Untitled-1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422167624128021026&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I decided to stay in with Drew for New Years and make a big dinner! It was not within my diet but since I rarely cheat I figured it would be okay. Also, if I&#39;m going to compete in the Arnold it&#39;s time to start the diet! New Years was so cold and snowy here in the midwest  and I feel like going out on New Years Eve  can sometimes be so over rated. It takes a forever to get a cab and at the end of the night your just frustrated. So, instead we made french onion soup from scratch with a geek salad and then for the main course filet with a twice baked potato and asparagus. Of course, we also had lots of wine and champagne. It was nice to drink too much and already be at home. Hope everyone else had a wonderful and memorable New Years Eve!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/feeds/7527323375796974707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-2010.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584757042143174636/posts/default/7527323375796974707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584757042143174636/posts/default/7527323375796974707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://willblankforshoes.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-2010.html' title='Happy 2010!'/><author><name>Katie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07159635970625955050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeYFWSJwGXBuzEXjtWt_K6-P21JJXXEYieRtuMrULiyZaNXqT3NcTICWZMuEGYys5gd37c4pVxNo4PJT5KT3HdfL2J3WoyBE_GzaGFHQ30HtY83ZPDKdlWngc0WXjNw/s220/l_cf4525e53bd304d7148e2e2629a06f78.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKuoTC7n-U1k_YVMvpc9JvAabJcJJnDM9RYa2t8ka8CCsDWQZUTGkyMW6IHCWw58u97NvgoA5qLmZGGDmXzhwWfQIIDkvaZPJO7NZnEfa7SBHjTbEiMKa4e1Bc9iPh4-HQVdhutUce0o/s72-c/Untitled-1.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584757042143174636.post-2916869822232833699</id><published>2009-12-29T10:12:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-29T10:31:16.264-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Brocade Home"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Haute Design"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="interiors"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sarah Klassen"/><title type='text'>Brocade Home</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8a5oF0J1rlw-4oVb44L8Lh9iQQC087QnE8YujergNRFNLAY00Jr7XbWFZOlLmLEg3-OqX1CWs14x-pK4Xs0d8NV3wdWSCXdoQtLnCViOhXu4A34OfC2S14ssqAY44HdLGy2DEhcZkLM/s1600-h/bh_prod124105_av.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420679230083862322&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8a5oF0J1rlw-4oVb44L8Lh9iQQC087QnE8YujergNRFNLAY00Jr7XbWFZOlLmLEg3-OqX1CWs14x-pK4Xs0d8NV3wdWSCXdoQtLnCViOhXu4A34OfC2S14ssqAY44HdLGy2DEhcZkLM/s400/bh_prod124105_av.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have to thank Sarah &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;Klassen&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sarahklassen.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;Haute&lt;/span&gt; Design&lt;/a&gt; for posting these lovely images!
