    Woohoo! What a happy list! Yay for Easter weekend! Glad you are connecting with writers at church – that must be so nice to find something you care about so much in common with other church-goers. And, as a tax accountant, I’m ashamed to say that my taxes are still not done! Goal for next week. 🙂

    I love puppies and their wrinkly heads, too! I haven’t thought about Tae Bo in years. My mom and I used to do it together and laugh hysterically at ourselves! Happy Weekend!

    I’ve heard some people say they love “Young & Hungry” and others say they hated it. I will have to give it a try!!

    Oh my gosh, thank you for the reminder that my taxes are done! I keep hearing people talking about taxes and having a slight panic, then remembering that my accountant filed them a few weeks ago. haha

    I enjoy your lists! This week I have been able to sleep until 7-8 most days, and that has made me very happy! I normally wake up between 5 and 6am, so it was been great to get an additional 2-3 hours of sleep. Although I’m not looking forward to returning to my 5-6am wake ups next week.. Have a Happy Easter!

    The foster dog looks like a cutie. 😉
    I’m loafing in the couch all weekend. I hurt my neck in a car accident yesterday getting rear ended. I’m okay just stiff and real sore.
    Have a wonderful weekend love!! xo

    I forgot all about TaeBo! I’ll have to dig out my old DVD’s. I’m excited about Easter and Family too. Have a great weekend!

    I totally thought the first item on your list was “recovering Taebo, which I imagine would also be accurate. LOL, I haven’t done those workouts in years but they are killer!

    Sweet list–hope you have a very happy Easter/weekend! XOXO and yes to dog forehead wrinkles. SO cute!

    Young and Hungry is a super cute show. I lagged off watching on FreeForm, so just started over on Netflix and finished what they had there and giggled way to much. Puppy snuggles after being out or away are the best ever.

    I am so happy to be back on our routine again. After Penelope and I being sick for two weeks, though I still don’t feel great at all, we’re back at it and it feels SO GOOD.
