A Southern Accent

I am still alive! It's been almost a week since I've posted, and not because I haven't had things to say, simply because life has been hectic and by the time I drop into bed at night, it's all I can do to see what my friends are up to on Facebook , post some comments and watch my soaps I DVR during the day. It probably wouldn't be wise for me to post this late at night anyway, as nothing would come out right. I'd probably start writing about Reva and Josh or something and totally lose you. So what have I been up to? Lots of freelance work for Mrs. Kettlebell , a quick mini vaca with my sis and nephews at the lake at a luxury condo my uncle rented for the summer (fun!) and lots and lots of meetings at work. Oh, and planning for my upcoming weekend getaway to NYC!!!! I'm also working on an inspiration board for a back-to-school party right now and hope to post that soon. My girlfriend Penelope works for this great party-planning site called MyPunchbowl .com...

I was at the beach all weekend at my in-laws house, so needless to say I ate really good food all weekend cause my mother-in-law is a fabulous cook. Then I had to stop by the fish market on the way home and picked up some fresh grouper, slaw and a key lime pie. I cooked all of that last night with a homemade tomato pie picked up at the Morehead City Farmer's Market and yumm.... So, now I'm back to trying to work out every day. It's so hard, but we have a gym downstairs at work, which makes it much easier. I've recently also picked up a kettlebell and I'm loving this thing. I was introduced to kettlebells through one of my friends and freelance client and her fitness center Rapid Results Fitness . These things will kick your butt - the first time I used them, my thighs were sore for two days. Katherine Heigl swears by them. The great thing is you only have to do them a couple times a week for brief periods of time (about 20 minutes) to see results. Here's a post...
