Friday Five

Good Workout

Last night I drug myself to the workout room and put in almost an hour and 45 minutes on the elliptical ~ 10 miles. Wasn’t planning on it…but the Real Housewives of New York helped me get through!

You know, I really like Alex. I think she’s my favorite. Maybe it’s because she’s the only one with kids around the same age as mine, but she seems just more “no frills” than the rest. And, I really wish Jill & Bethenny would make up already!

Glee

I finally watched this week’s episode of Glee last night ~ ode to Madonna.

Dear Glee,

I’m “Crazy For You”.

I thank my “Lucky Star” that you came into my life.

I want to tell the world to “Open Your Heart” and watch you if they aren’t doing so already.

I was beginning to think my week was “Borderline”, but after watching you, it’s FANTASMIC!

Thank you for showing me “Where’s The Party” on Tuesday (or Thursday!) nights.

Your trying-not-to-be-so-“Material Girl”,

Amy

Autism Speaks

Tomorrow morning we’re heading to the Rose Bowl for our 2nd annual walk with Team Intuit. It’s supposed to be gorgeous this weekend and I can think of nothing better than doing a 5K for a great cause with the sun shining, the blue skies surrounding and the beautiful San Gabriels in sight.

If you would like to make a donation, please click here.

Thank you!

Rx: DVDs

On another note, a good friend of a good friend just received the devastating news that their 3-year old son has been diagnosed with Acute Childhood Leukemia. My friend, Alicia, is looking for friends to donate their gently used DVDs (suitable for 3 year olds, of course) to this sweet little boy to help him as he goes through treatment at Denver Children’s Hospital. Once he is through his treatments, they will be gifted to the hospital so that other children can enjoy them during their stay.

I know that we have more movies than we know what to do with, so we’ll be packing some up and sending them off.

If you’re interested, please leave a comment, e-mail or Facebook me and I will let you know where to send them.

Again, many thank yous!

A new, healthy recipe coming your way this evening. This one is for my friend, Lisa and it comes from one of my new favorite blogs! Lisa, let’s see how it compares to Sabor’s soup! It looks muy delish!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Can’t figure out how to turn the text black on this post!?!
