Popsicle Passion #1

Okay, let me start by saying that I really enjoy the super summery treat known as the popsicle, but sugar water isn't the best food choice even on the hotest of days. When I first saw the Zoku personal popsicle maker, I knew I just HAD to have one - then I saw the price. . . guess I didn't need it after all. Not to long after that I saw a similar product at Target for 1/2 the price. Now, that's do-able! Overall, I've been pretty happy with it - only a few issues of not being able to get the popsicle out of the metal mold. Just had to share one of my new favorite good-for-you-pop!

Kabobs - My Way!

On Saturday we bought kabobs at the Eastern Market, and tonight I thought, "I can do that!" and I did! They took a lot longer to cook on my little stove-top grill thing, but in the end I was quite impressed with my little bacon-wrapped chicken kabobs.

Indulging my Sporty Side

Thanks to my friend, Marin, I got to enjoy a wonderful game at Comerica Park yesterday!

Parking: FREE (compliments of the Hard Rock shuttle)

Tickets in the 20th row between dugout and home plate: $11

Beautiful weather: FREE (compliments of my wonderful Heavenly Father)

Hot Dog Value Meal (hot dog, chips, small drink): $5

Souvenir Tiger logo napkins: FREE (compliments of my Tigers)

Over three hours of fun and sun and giggles and laughs and preparations to yell and drop to the ground if a fly ball even came near us (to distract others so Marin could catch it): PRICELESS!

Not a bad day for a very non-sporty girl!

So do not feel like it. . .

How is it that with a wonderful Easter break opened before me, I CANNOT get myself motivated to start on my rather ginormous ToDo List? It really shouldn't be that hard, but the spirit isn't that willing, and the flesh is quite weak!

Oh, well - I'm off and running. . . just not that fast. . . and with socks that don't match!
