Oscars Hang Over..

Okay I am really not hung over, not one bit..

But hung over in the sense I stayed up to watch the whole thing!

When did I become so old that staying up till midnight to watch an awards show is like a night out??

Anyway, I love the Oscars. I love movies, actors, actresses, I love stories and that's what they are too me.

I normally don't watch an award show, start to finish but this Oscars was great. I thought Ellen did an amazing job as a host. She had me entertained from start to finish.

I mean...



Come On, best picture ever!!! So stinking cute!!

To her handing out pizza.

Jennifer Lawrence is by far one of my favorite actresses, just because she is so damn real! I love her!



Matthew McHottie one and well deserved. I now have to go and see Dallas Buyers Club!



But his speech is what stood out the most for me with his 3 things he does every day..

"Something to look up to, something to look forward to, and someone to chase"

I loved this! It rang through to me. And when he said the someone to chase and it was himself every 10 years, YES! That is it, that is what it is all about! I want to live by these 3 things. Here are mine..

Something to look up too: My Father in Heaven. I know he is looking down on me every single day making sure I am doing everything right. He is watching me, running with me and so proud of me. Everything I do I know I am doing for him.

Something to look forward to: I think my something to look forward to every day is the end result, the finish line and the starting line. I think every day is something to look forward too. I look forward to making my family proud and making myself proud. Right now my looking forward is about my running and work. I love forward to just succeeding and staying on this path.

Someone to Chase: Well I am going to take his and say myself in 10 years, and then 10 years after that. If I look back 10 years ago now, I was 18, just starting out, starting college, really starting life. I never thought I would be, feel or look like I do now, so I am chasing myself each year, because I want to continue to look back at how far I have come, not wishing I was there again.

So all in all I loved the Oscars. Those who won were very well deserved. I know have to see 12 Years A Slave, Dallas Buyers Club, Frozen, Nebraska, Philomena and Gravity.

If you watched the Oscars, what was your favorite moment??

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
