It is very difficult to maintain a blog when you are a tad OCD. For some reason I'm just realizing just how OCD I am on certain things.<br />
<br />
Troy wishes that I was OCD with organizing and house straightening, but unfortunately I'm not. My OCD actually makes that part harder. As in when I get a magazine - I need to read it from cover to cover - typically also have to read the oldest one first...take that into account, with the fact that the magazine I typically read comes once a week - and my down time is about 5 minutes a day - leads to a stack of magazines by my bed. And don't even think about asking me to throw them away....even if I'm a few months behind, I need to know what happened with Blake and Miranda, and whichever Teen Mom is in trouble, or was.<br />
<br />
So with running a blog - I'd like to recap our day to day lives - at least the fun and crazy and memorable stuff....BUT I don't always have time to get what I want typed out....then when I have the time, I want to go back where I left off vs. starting with where I am....and once again - that stuff just stacks up - just in my brain, and not beside my bed. When I can't do it in order, I just stop, as you can see in my lack of posts. In all honesty, does it really matter if I tell you about my August Myrtle Beach Vacation before what happened in June?? To you no, to me, it's kinda like the end of the world.<br />
<br />
So in 2016, I pledge to continue the blog, in some way shape or form. It may not be in chronological order but it will be a bit more active - and less advertisements, and more about us.<br />
<br />
Why I love to do reviews and giveaways, it adds additional stress on me, and sometimes I'm too worried about hitting the time lines than the actual reason for the post. I've learned in reading other's blogs, that I enjoy the personal ones more than the ones that offer reviews and giveaways. I want to know that "Molly" is stressed, trips while getting dress, and sent her child to soccer practice with ballet shoes - I mean that's what makes us human right?? (and why I am not Molly, I may have done all of the above at some point in time).<br />
<br />
So here's to 2016, and getting to know the BOAT a little bit more....even if it's out of order!<br />

I myself in more ways than one. Right now I feel "Captive" to this crazy lifestyle my family has put ourselves<strong> </strong>in. I leave the house at 7 AM and typically return around 9PM still needing to feed the family, bathe two kids, double check homework, clean (did I mention our dishwasher has been broken for 6 months??), put kids to bed, pack bags for the next day's activities...oh and then I work on more work from home until who knows when....to wake up and do it all over again the next day!<br />
<br />
My captivity has nothing on Ashley Smith's experiences from 2005. She was held captive in her own apartment by a man who had escaped prison and had been on a killing spree in the process.<br />
<br />
Her book, also written in 2005 has been made into a movie by the same title, "Captive" and was released on 9/18/15.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before I received the book to review I had heard this story but not in full detail. Ashley had actually spoken at one of my church's women's retreats, but I had not attended. I was intrigued by her story, but never got a chance to read or hear more. I was excited to finally read her book. I read it while at the beach with my family and I could not put it down. It was an easy read, and I wanted to continue to read to find out what would happen next. I knew that Ashley survived her captivity but I didn't know how or why.<br />
<br />
I honestly felt like I was in her apartment with her, pleading with Brian Nichols to let her go, let her go see her daughter. Let her turn her life around. I was trying to find ways to help her escape, help her break away but in all honesty, Ashley needed Brian as much as Brian needed her.<br />
<br />
Reading her book makes you question your own lifestyle. Are you purposeful in what you are doing? <br />

<b><em>Overview</em></b></div>
<div>
<em>CAPTIVE, based on a miraculous true story that drew the attention of the entire nation, is a thrilling drama about the spiritual collision of two broken lives. When Brian Nichols - on the run as the subject of a city wide manhunt and desperate to make contact with his newborn son - takes recovering meth addict Ashley Smith hostage in her own apartment, she turns for guidance to Rick Warren’s best-selling inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life. While reading aloud, Ashley and her would-be killer each face crossroads where despair and death intersect hope. </em></div>

I have already read the book that helped her get through her captivity, A Purpose Driven Life but I want to go back and re-read it and see if I am able to pull more out of it.

This is perfect for my house because Brynnleigh's older brother, Owen is at the age where not everything is fun...at least until he gets there. It may hit home to some adults too, it's very easy to get wrapped up into all the negative vs. the positive.</span></div>

Imagine my surprise to do a pre-screening of the movie Saving Christmas. I was even able to participate in a live teleconference with Kirk Cameron, but unfortunately I had Brynnleigh's Parent/Teacher Conference at the same time.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">This Christmas, have your family join with Kirk Cameron’s family and dive headfirst into all the joy, dancing, celebration, feasting, imagination, and traditions that glorify the true “reason for the season.” </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px;">KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS</strong><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> is an engaging story that provides a biblical basis for our time-honored traditions and celebrations, and the inspiration to stand strongly against a culture that wants to trivialize and eliminate the faith elements of this holy season. So take in the splendor; take in the majesty; take in the story. Take it all in… and let’s put Christ back in Christmas! </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px;">KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS</strong><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> is in theaters for a limited engagement beginning November 14 for two weeks only!</span></span></span></div>

<a href="http://www.savingchristmas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/trailer_f.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></a> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Review:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had not seen the trailer for this movie so I really did not know what to expect. I got worried in the beginning as it started with Kirk Cameron sitting in front of the fireplace talking about Christmas - I was worried that was going to be the whole movie - listening to him talk. I as glad I was wrong! I don't mind listening to Kirk talk, but I wouldn't want to pay movie theater prices to do so. : )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.savingchristmas.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/SC_0033.tiff%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://www.savingchristmas.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/SC_0033.tiff%20copy.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It did go into the movie which took place in the home of Kirk's sister during her annual Christmas party. Everyone was having fun and enjoying themselves except for the sister's husband - he had run off to get away from the madness. Kirk locates him and they discuss what was wrong. Turns out, the brother-in-law, Christian was upset that people had lost the real meaning of Christmas and their focus was on things other than items from the bible. He mentioned Christmas trees, Santa Claus, materialism and more. It was very interesting to see Kirk relate it all back to the bible and how it really does work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.savingchristmas.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/SC_0103.tiff%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://www.savingchristmas.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/SC_0103.tiff%20copy.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do not want to give it all away but I was shocked at how well it all fits together and does relate back to that first "Christmas story." I was actually shocked at how Kirk was for enjoying and celebrating the Christmas holiday as we see it now since he is so liberal with his religion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not sure that I would want to pay to see this in the theaters but I did take a lot away from this movie and think it will do great once it is on DVD.</span><br />

I played every sport I could and even tried to talk my parents into letting me play others (ahem football and baseball).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I remember the days watching my brother playing football and basketball and the other parents asking me if I couldn't wait to be a cheerleader for my brother's teams....and yep I laughed at them...or ignored them. I WAS NOT GOING TO BE A CHEERLEADER....I wanted to play football and basketball....not jump and yell for those playing why would anyone want to wear a skirt and cheer/scream for someone else???</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my eyes, cheering wasn't a sport...period the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I got older and of course was still playing sports and making fun of cheerleaders who claimed they were doing a sport I swore up and down that none of my kids would EVER be cheerleaders and that I would let them play football and baseball even if they were a girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With that being said.....let me introduce you to my 4 year old Brynnleigh...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">who ONLY wants to cheer.....and honestly does a pretty good job at it too. At the ripe old age of 4 she is in her second season of cheer and her first season of competitive cheering....as in doing stunts!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So yep, this Mama is eating her words and will proudly support her little cheerleader in this SPORT that she has chosen! (But with that being said - I DO still need to find someone to help me with her hair and makeup)</span></div>

I have missed blogging....seriously! I think about it a lot, but thinking and doing are two completely different things. I need one of those tape recorder thingys (am I dating myself here??) that will record what I say, type it and post it...oh and add some cute pictures of course! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have tried to schedule myself a time to do this and a time to do that but then I realize that I'm too scheduled and just throw it all away and live my life! It may almost be time for me to admit that I'm doing too much....I'm not ready yet...but maybe soon. I mean I think I can do it all....isn't it normal to work full time an hour away, have 2 part time direct sales jobs, have two kids involved in multiple sports (O - soccer, baseball, and tae-kwon-do, B - dance, cheering, & little kicks after school) which of course I'm the team mom, and event planner for their teams?? Oh and I'm also training for a marathon and attempting those other motherly/wifey things....ya know, homework, dinner, cleaning....spending time with the hubs. (well actually he cooks and cleans most of the time...but I still attempt to look like I'm doing it every now and then!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So with all that said...I DO want to keep blogging...and I do want to give you something you want to read and relate to....so the BOAT will be back up and running....I can't promise super long awesome posts all the time...but I can promise you a glimpse into my crazy life and give you some laughs along the way!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Oh...and in case they never make it on here....I have written some awesome blog posts in my head....I mean can you imagine what goes through my head during an 18 mile run??? I swear I really need one of those tape recorder things...that would be multi-tasking at its finest!</span><br />

I must say it was a great tool to be able to take something that our 7 year old son loves (and loves to talk about) and relate to daily life experiences. Some of these subjects are difficult to talk about with your kids and this guide made it so simple! Each subject has a bible verse/excerpt, a discussion relating this to the movie, and then a way to relate back to daily life and discussion questions to help start the conversations! Honestly I enjoyed reflecting on it all by myself as well!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Kids are obsessed with super hero's and special powers and this is a great tool to explain to them that everyone has powers, it is just a matter of whether they use it for good or evil! I cannot wait to go back over this guide once we have seen the movie and see how the discussions change!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">This is what got me thinking the most from the discussion guide:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">"Before he died, Peter's Uncle Ben told him that with great power comes great responsibility." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">We all have power, but do we use it responsibly?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">We touched on</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Powers, which ones we each have and how they can be used (both good and bad)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Someone who is needed - don't let yourself feel like a nobody when you are somebody, treat others as somebody's too</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Time, it's importance, time management, prioritizing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Be yourself, don't try to live someone else's life (using your talents and powers to be you)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Make good choices, consequences of bad choices, what items are out of your control</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Sacrificing - how to achieve our goals and dreams, what things do others sacrifice?</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">This discussion guide makes me want to go back through our other family movies and see how I can make a discussion guide for those as well!</span><br />

I am having sooo much fun! It really in an exceptional company to work for.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are a TON of </span><a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/alacks" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thirty One</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> consultants out there and I want to stand out. I want people to make people happy and help them find the one thing that makes their life easier or less complicated!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/684188451623633/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Facebook group</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> that I am using to help show all the different options for each product and help my customers and friends find what they are looking for. I also list any sales or announcements so everyone is aware.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, a little different than some Thirty One Consultants, I am trying to do a few fundraisers. I would like to do one a month or more! This allows to get out and meet new people plus help our local community. I donate a portion of my profit back to the organization!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would love for you to join my group and gather new ideas to help make your crazy life less hectic!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, a special that I am doing is the Thirty One Bunny Hop...it is only open to the first 12 people and will run from 4/1-4/12. Each participant will win one of the following prizes:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any item in the catalog at 1/2 off (3 winners)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what do you have to do?? Simple...share the Spring 2014 catalog (I will mail you copies, or you can view </span><a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/alacks" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">online</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">) and collect a minimum of $100.00 in orders (this is super easy). Have everyone pay YOU for your order (they need to pay for direct shipping since there is no hostess), they can pay by cash, check, or credit, but when you submit your final order to me I only accept credit or debit cards. Turn all orders into me by April 12, 2014.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The prizes will be drawn at random on 4/13/14, HOWEVER, whoever has turned in the most in sales will be able to PICK which prize they want!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Use this time to shop for Mother's Day, birthdays, end of year teacher gifts, graduation, or maybe something for yourself!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When you spend $35 you can get the All Pro Tote & Pro Duffle for just $25! Great for the gym, soccer, baseball, or any other kids sports!</div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">Inspired by the death of Cameron’s close friend who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith: “Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Going back to the beginning—literally—Kirk investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives … and our eternities. <b><i>UNSTOPPABLE</i></b><b> </b>will prompt audiences to consider the role that pain and suffering has in our lives, as they affirm their personal views on faith, and encourage conversation starters about God, suffering, and hope. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
In theaters for only two weeknights (Sept 24th and Oct 3th, 2013), <b><i>UNSTOPPABLE: A Live Event with Kirk Cameron</i></b><b><i> </i></b>sold a staggering 260,000 tickets and reached a theatrical gross of over $3.2 million dollars. In just two nights this independent project sent a loud message – audiences want thought-provoking and meaningful entertainment. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Kirk Cameron is best known for his memorable role as “Mike Seaver,” a cultural icon of the 80's, with his mullet hairstyle, cool glasses, and wisecracking comebacks. More recently he enjoyed much success with the No. 1 grossing inspirational film of 2008, <i>Fireproof, </i>and his recent documentary, <i>Monumental. </i>Kirk and his wife, Chelsea, were on-screen sweethearts during their <i>Growing Pains</i> years and are the founders of Camp Firefly, where terminally and seriously ill children and their families are provided an all-expense paid retreat (</span><span class="ecxMsoHyperlink"><span style="color: blue; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://www.campfirefly.com/" target="_blank">www.CampFirefly.com</a></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">).

I made the mistake of turning this on with both kids (6, 3) in the room. There was not a problem with them watching the movie, but it made it difficult for me to watch the movie. This is a movie that makes you think so you need to pay attention. I also was a little turned off at the beginning with the talk of death of a young man. I just had some friends lose a newborn baby and being a mother it was not something I wanted to think about.</div>

My favorite part of the whole movie was when he showed "The Pitch". None of them wanted to hear him out or do what he was asking and you could see the frustration on Kirk's face. It showed the big picture of how people look at things and want to focus on different aspects.</div>

I love that this was a Liberty University film...Liberty is only a few hours from us and it is a great school.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I hope to re-watch this film alone to be able to take it all in.</div>

Mass!!We were lucky to have tickets to see the <a href="http://www.richmondspiders.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">University of Richmond</span></a> basketball team play last night. These were not your average tickets, these were court side....as in inches from the court...as in let me wipe the sweat off your brow. It was phenomenal! We took O with us since he's big into basketball right now and he loved it! Unfortunately we thought it was a bit too close to bring B with us....I could just see her running out to help the cheerleaders or even the players so she stayed with Missy and Papa.<br />
<br />
U of R defeated the #13 ranked team U. Mass, so it's always nice to see your team win and even better when they beat a ranked team!<br />
<br />
We hope to be able to do this again (ummm....like every game please!). I didn't get my usual ton of pictures because I was trying to make sure none of us go slobbered by the ball or a player. Next time I may take the risk! These were perfect seats for awesome pictures...no random heads in the way or anything!<br />
<br />
O got to hold the ball during the under 12 minute time out....he thought it was the coolest thing ever!<br />
<br />
So here you go...my raw, unedited pictures from last night (sorry folks...I'm no fancy dancy photographer, I don't edit my pictures which is why I take a ton!)<br />

<br />
I've had my struggles, issues, and mountains to climb as I'm sure we all have but a tragic event took place maybe 10 miles from my work that has made me think and realize that my struggles are nothing but petty.<br />
<br />
Meg Cross Menzies was tragically killed Monday morning during her morning run with her husband. When she sent her three precious kids off to school that morning no one knew it would be her final goodbye, her final kiss, her final hug.<br />
<br />
Her husband who works for our local police force attempted to save her until medics arrived but God had other plans. I'm not sure why he works the way he does, but he felt that it was her time.<br />
<br />
She was hit by a doctor at 8:15 AM Monday morning, who had a blood alcohol level of .11.<br />
<br />
This Saturday what started as local event has now gone worldwide and all runners and non runners are dedicating their run to Meg's Miles. I haven't run in a month, but I will be out there Saturday running for Meg and running for all other runner's who's lives were tragically ended too soon.<br />
<br />
Please join the Facebook Event <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/489458451159627/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Meg's Miles</span></a> if you would like to donate your Saturday run. There is more information on this site should you like to also make donations or find out more about the tragedy and the families needs. Please use the hashtag "megsmiles if you post on social media.<br />
<br />
Please please please use caution when running, biking, walking on roads and please as a driver keep your head up and DO NOT get behind the wheel if you have had anything that would impair your judgement.<br />
<br />
Always tell your loved ones you love them, and kiss and hug them as much as possible, you never know when it's your last!

I have been gone for awhile....and I've hated it. I just had to step away though. EVERYTHING had gotten crazy and I felt like I was being pulled in 100 different directions. I would go one way in hopes it would help get me back on point only to find out that that way ended with 100 more directions. I had to let go of something, and at that point it was the blog (and a lot more that you guys didn't see).<br />
<br />
I fully expected to go all gung ho after Christmas which got pushed to after New Years which got pushed to now.<br />
<br />
I put all these crazy expectations on myself that I eventually just gave up because I felt like I had failed when in reality I was expecting the impossible.<br />
<br />
I want to be the best, the biggest, the top of everything and well that's not always possible, nor is it important. I take the simplest thing and analyze it back to it's beginning features or further if possible. For example...I don't run to the store to by my kids a pair of jeans....I look online at EVERY store I have access to so I can find out who has what styles at what price. Then I go to the store, to buy, AFTER, I have researched the best coupons for that store. So instead of running into Old Navy to buy the $10 jeans, I go to Crazy 8's to buy the $7.99 jeans with a 20% off coupon. So in just 2 hours (minimum, cuz then I get sidetracked looking at the dresses or coats) I've saved us $3.61. Yep, my time is worth a heck of a lot more than $3.61.<br />
<br />
I just felt stuck, not sure what to do which way to turn. I felt like I could not get anything accomplished, my mind was racing 100 times a second and in 500 different directions. I couldn't focus. I had a running list in my head, at work I need to do this, at home I need to do this, O needs this, B was missing this, I need to post this on the blog, oh crap I forgot to do this. NONSTOP. Sleep...what is sleep? I would stay up staring at the computer or TV in a trance just so I didn't relax to fall asleep to remember ALL the things that I had not completed or pushed to the side. Then of course the next day I was tired and not to my full potential. It was a vicious vicious cycle to say the least.<br />
<br />
With all of that going on I had myself surrounded by people who were negative. They were mad at the world, nothing was good enough or right....and it gets contagious. I caught myself complaining about how much people were complaining. They didn't care about things so why should I. Well that's all great until you go to lay down at night and realize that you really do care and realized that you shouldn't have put something off because it didn't fit in what YOU wanted to do at that time.<br />
<br />
So even though some of the things I want may be unattainable or impossible. I'm not giving up, I'm not walking away. I will still try to be the best at what I do, but with a bit more flexibility and reason. I am trying to stay organized, and writing to do lists at home, work, everywhere so I can make sure I prioritize and accomplish. I am setting attainable goals (and a few dream goals just in case) and I'm getting my fight back! I'm doing my best to ignore the unpleasables and trying to turn their negativity to positives.<br />
<br />
So, the struggle, it's never ending and constantly changing, but I am not letting it suffocate me any longer...I'm fighting back and eventually I will win.<br />

Yep, I didn't think so !<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure 97% of the female American population (and a good percentage of males too) have at least read one book or seen the first movie! I've read all three books, but have yet to see the first movie. I was still reading the last book when the first movie came out, and I refuse to watch movies before I've read the entire book series.<br />
<br />
But now, after seeing the trailer for Catching Fire, I'm going to have to watch the first movie, so I can stand in line at the theater on 11/22 to be one of the first to see Catching Fire!<br />
<br />

The Ozeri Precision Digital Bath Scale (400 lb edition) with widescreen LCD and step on activation in white was a lot more than I was expecting!

It is thin and sleek and just nice to look at. I almost didn't want to step on it (that and I didn't want to see how much I weighed!). The battery comes with the scale so it took a total of 48 seconds to install the battery and have the scale ready to go. Of course Owen had to try it out first!<br />

It was so fast to read his weight, you don't even have to wait for it to "set" itself. This will actually allow me to weigh B. At 3, she does not want to have to "set" a scale, then step on it, then wait any more than 5 seconds to jump off and get into something else! I also love that it measures to the nearest tenth of a pound. It allows you to monitor your weight so much more accurately. I have a love/hate relationship with scales, but giving me another number that I can change, and change quicker (lower of course) helps.<br />

To say that I am a pen junkie is a bit of an understatement! Pen freak may be more like it. I have at least 10 different pens in my purse right now and we won't mention how many I have at home and work. So I was beyond excited to do a review of the UGLee pen.<br />

The UGLee Pen is<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> the wonderful scientifically-designed <a href="http://www.ugleepen.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ergonomic pen</span></a>. The Ultimate Grip Pen was designed by a real physician, Dr. James Lee. These pens are sold in packs of three and in your choice of seven different barrel colors (red, pink, white, yellow, green, blue, and gray). All come with black ink and you can purchase ink refills in black, blue, and red. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I received two red barrels and one blue barrel to test/review. I was hoping they wrote in different colors but all three were the standard black ink. The first two things I noticed were the grip and how light the pens were.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The grip was soft but a bit sticky, not to the point where your hand stuck or had a residue. I was worried just throwing it into my purse....I just knew it would pick up every crumb and piece of dirt I had. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"<a href="http://www.ugleepen.com/about-the-ultimate-grip-pen/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Ultimate comfort</span></a>! The overall shape as well as the detailed contours are perfectly engineered to follow the anatomy of the hand. You don't have to grip this material, it grips you."</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"The UGLee pen only weighs 11 grams. That is less than 1/2 ounce! Less mass, means less inertia, more comfort."</span><br />

I love how these pens write - they flow and are super smooth. And coming from a lefty, they don't smear/smudge! You know how annoying it is to write something, then look back and realize that you have smeared everything because you are left handed? Yep, that's me every day. I typically have to stay away from gel pens, for this reason, plus being left handed, I don't always hold the pen to the right angle for roller ball pens and gel pens. It is so annoying to have to re-write a word or letter multiple times because you do not have the right angle! These pens are easy to hold and the ink flow is perfect.<br />

I'm not going to lie, I was a bit nervous. I mean he had to kick, and break a board, for the first time EVER! Yep, no practice, just step up and go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I watched one by one as the kids in front of him went...the first kid, yeah, it took him a few tries. The other 2-3 were pretty good with it, but knowing how timid O can be at times, I just knew he was going to tell them that he was good, and didn't need to try and kick a board.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then...it was his turn....he jumped right on up, ran over, and then.....</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yep, that's right...my little karate kid did it perfectly! We are so proud of him...he completed all of his tests perfectly. He also had to do his 17 form moves, say words in Korean, and complete the 3 steps of sparring....and every single one, were perfect!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will find out on Friday if he gets his green striped belt....and I have no doubt that he will!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Way to go O!</span><br />
