Cotorra!
That's what I've been called! Last week I saw this pic on a blog and I just loved it.
I love the wood and white with the green as the focus point. Then on Sunday I found this at my fav place... TJ Maxx. I found it in the clearance section all the way in the back! It was only $7. I just had to get it.
On Sunday, a mass for the 1 year anniversary of my grandma's passing was said and for some reason after her passing I have grown very fond of birds... I don't know why. I think maybe she liked them or for some reason they remind me of her... anyways, I think she also called me cotorra sometime. I don't know where I am going with this... but finding the ceramic parrot felt good, kinda like a hug from my grandma. Maybe I am crazy, but I am so happy with my new "pet".

My Own Dressing Room!
A couple months ago I saw a posting on a dressing room. The couple had an extra room in their house and the wife decided to make it her dressing room! How great is that?! Well, since I do live in a studio with not even a bedroom... I can't quite have that... but I do have a small closet room!
A trip to Wal-Mart got the decorating juices flowing... I got a $3 poster, a $7 frame and a $10 rug. I also moved a lamp from the "living room" and waaalaaa! I got me a dressing room!
At one point I was upset with myself for getting the red dresser instead of the black one. It has been two years since I changed my bedroom decor from red to green to blue... so the dresser stood out like a sore thumb (literally!), but when I saw this pic it all fell into place!
I also thought the framed poster made it more glam than a mirror could. I already have a full length mirror so I won't be missing out on anything. What do u think? I love it!
It also makes me want to keep an organized closet. Which the actual closet part is still a WIP, but I will keep you updated on any progress.

Biggest Loser: Week 9 or 10
I am a bit late with the last post of the Biggest Loser... and the challenge was 10 weeks but according to blogger I am on week 9... so I don't know where week 9 went...but the challenge is DONE!
How did I do? ... FABULOUS! I lost 8.6 lbs or 5.13% of my body weight! I was the biggest loser on my team. Wooo hoo! That last week I lost .6 lbs. I wish it would have been more, but I won't let that cloud my great accomplishment!
As I changed into my work out clothes right before the final weigh in, this game/fight song was on the radio in the locker room. I don't know the song and I've tried asking people by humming it, but no one knows what I am talking about... anyways, I felt like a fighter getting ready to go out there!
I am so glad I joined this challenge, it has really helped me change my views on the gym, working out, and on people. I use to feel very intimidated, but now not so much. I can't say that I am a gym rat, but at least I am not "afraid" of going in now.
I plan to continue watching what I eat and only splurging once a week. Also, I hope to continue to work out at least 2/3 times a week. So far it hasn't gone so well because of work, but I hope not to lose all the lessons learned. Even after the chanllenge adrenaline leaves me I hope to keep the lessons. BUT if not, I will always have "pretty blessed" to remind me.
