I Feel Great... Easter Goodies.. and Dolly Parton! =)

I am amazed every day at how much better I feel!  Wednesday will make three weeks that I have been on Weight Watchers.  I have only lost 11.2 pounds, but I can NOT believe the difference it has made in how I feel.  Maybe it's because I haven't eaten anything fried in 3 weeks... maybe it's because I haven't had any sugar... I don't know, and I don't care, because I like it!  Not only do I physically feel better, but my attitude is better.  I have been in the best mood (minus a sad spell here and there.. for other reasons)!  I know, I know... for those of you that know me... that's a big deal!!  =)  I can't wait until the next weigh-in on Wednesday!  I'm hoping for two pounds... or maybe three... or four!  That reminds me of something Dolly Parton used to say... "I wear a size 6 shoe, but a 7 feels so good, I just go ahead and buy an 8!"  I love Dolly Parton, by the way.  One of my favorites of hers... "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know that I'm not dumb.... I also know that I'm not blonde."  Ha!

So, I'm gearing up for Easter goodies this week at the bakery!  I have several cake and cupcake orders, and will have a mixed box if I get enough people to order one.  Let's hope!  =)

Steven and I are probably going to take the girls to a big Easter Egg Hunt over in Valdosta on Saturday... if I get all of my caking done on time!  I think it said they hide 24,000 eggs!  That should be plenty of eggs to drag the sweat out of my two... and once the sweat starts rolling, the party is OVER!  They are, after all, MY kids... =)  We don't thrive in the heat.. not when there are Wiis and Playstation 2's to be played, movies to be watched, and couches and loveseats to be held down.  PRIORITIES!!

However, they did request a trip to the track to ride their bikes... Saturday AND Sunday!  So, of course, off we went... I don't think we were gone an hour... hour and a half TOPS either time, but hey, a little sun is better than no sun, I guess.

Sunday night, I decided a little treat was in order...

So, we made chocolate-covered pretzels and pretzel haystacks!  We used milk chocolate, white chocolate, and every sprinkle we could get our hands on, and it was FUN!!  Then, they ate said pretzels until they both had stomach aches... but hey, what are parents for?  I mean, there were pretzels in there... pretzels are healthy... right??
