Let's Talk! Snow days, New Years resolutions & germs.....

Hey everyone!  Happy Saturday!  Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.  I'm spending my day today visiting my parents, filming & blogging.  I'm actually a week late posting this.  I wanted to post it last weekend, but my cold has just started to settle down.  I've been trying to rest as much as possible to get better.  I'm going on 2 weeks with this crud.  Ugh!  So I do sound a lot better.  Still stuffy, but better.  

Anywho, I wasn't going to post this because it's been a week since I filmed the video, but I figured why the heck not.  

Enough blabber!  On with my topic!

About 2 weeks ago, we were shut down by extremely cold weather with sleet.  Here in Louisiana, that doesn't come very often.  For 2 days we were instructed to stay off the roads.  We are just not prepared for that type of weather here, so of course panic mode comes in.  LOL!  The Monday before the freeze I went to my local Fresh Market for a few of my normal essentials.  It was packed with people stocking up on whatever they could get their hands on.  One lady had her buggy half stock with wine.  She clearly said, "I'm gonna be stuck inside for 2 days!  I have to have something to do!"  LOL!  That made me giggle.  

Well, I don't know if you would call our snow days "snow days".  It was more like "sleet days".


My schefflera plant bit the dust.  She'll come back though.  I lost her once before.  She'll take some TLC this spring.






My poor landscaping.  Most of my plants froze.  Like I said, lots of TLC this spring.

Along with our cold days, I acquired my second head cold of the month.  And this one doesn't seem to want to go away.  

Besides all that, I've been doing very well with my New Years resolutions.  Except for the past 2 weeks.  My doctor ordered lots of rest and no exercising.  I'm done with that.  It's back to Jazzercise for me on Monday.  One of my resolutions was to attend Jazzercise 3 times a week.  I've been doing really well with that.  To give me more motivation, I went shopping for new work out attire.  Old Navy has a good selection at a great price.  My next resolution was to put down the phone and read.  I've always loved to read.  I have a pretty nice selection of books.  But the last year, I haven't been reading much.  My time consists of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & Candy Crush.  Curse you Candy Crush!  LOL!  So I've got back into reading before bed time.  I've also been reading on my lunch at work.  It's so calming to read.  It takes my mind off of anything that may be on it and focuses on the story.  I'm currently reading City of Glass from the Immortal Instruments series.  As well as listening to Hidden from the House of Nights series.  Love me some audiobooks.  Makes my drive to work a lot easier to deal with.  And lastly, I've been wanting to redecorate my house for a few years now.  But never set my mind to it.  This year it's getting done.  

I think that about covers it.  That's basically what I've been up to this last month of January.  I'll link to some of my work out attire below if anyone is interested.  As well as the books I'm reading.  

Have a great weekend everyone!  Talk to ya'll soon!

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou
