Results Fitness: 10 Days to a Better Body I got this DVD from Netflix and OMG this is a great workout but tough! It consists of two 30 min workouts – one for upper body and one for lower body and you are to alternate them every day for 10 days. I have done each one twice now but not consecutively. I did the lower yesterday and the upper today and am going to try and do one segment every day for the next 10 days and see what happens. It is hard! I almost feel like crying when I am doing the workout and I really sweat!...

So a couple Saturday’s ago we finally saw Julie & Julia and I loved it!  I read the book and had a hard time getting through the first part of it. I don’t know what it was but it was hard for me to bond with the author. I have to admit though, by the middle of the book I was hooked and had to see it through.

I love to bake and I like to make apple pie but wanted to try something different. I’ll let you know how we like it after we dive into it tonight. My photographs aren’t nearly as good as Alicia Paulson’s but I try. I...

We didn’t do too much decorating for Halloween this year. We got out the witch doll that Ralph got for Bella years ago. Sofia and Dante made some decorations that we hung in the living room. Sofia made the ghost, the pumpkin bat and the spider and Dante made the Zombie head. They were great! Ralph suggested they make a haunted house together. He helped Sofia by carving out a box and painting it and let her decorate it. It turned out pretty cool. They were working on the graveyard/pumpkin patch on the side but didn’t quite finish it. We have some great ideas to make it even better...
