I signed Elliott up for a cheer clinic at one of the local high schools.

I figured it’d be a nice way to introduce her to cheer…afterall, she wants to be a cheerleader when she grows up.

Here she is at about 2.5 years of age.

We spent Halloween ’07 in South Carolina with Lolo & Lola. I wanted a costume that was easy to pack and travelled well….found this at Gymboree for cheap. Perfect! She loved it.

I hope she enjoys the clinic. She says I have to stay with her for the whole 4 hours in case she gets thirsty or needs to go potty…..

Should be super cute.

Since we’re cheering this morning, I wanted to share a few of my morning rituals {deodorant, coffee & exercise duds} with you that, I feel, deserve a little rah! rah!

{Dove Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena}

LOVE it! If you’re looking for a new anti-perspirant might I suggest this.

Sweet. Clean. Fresh.

My Mom brought us some of Starbucks {Tribute} Blend to celebrate their 40th year.

Wow…I am older than Starbucks. Wah!

The house smells amazing when this is brewing and the taste is undeniably that of the famous {green circle}.

Certainly a must in the mornings {along with deodorant!}

Speaking of deodorant, I haven’t been very successful in the {sweat department} lately. Most mornings I don yoga pants and a dri-weave top of some sort, but more often than not I don’t get out and move. I’ve been lazy and I need to spring into action! I think that the reason I haven’t gotten out and hit the pavement is because I feel like I have to do a {big} run. Like 5 miles…but I don’t. I just need to get out there. 2 miles a few times a week is OK. I need to be OK with that, too.

So, to get me pumped up, I got a new {orange, my fave} Under Armour tank yesterday at TJ Maxx. It’s super comfy, fits well and keeps everything {in place} if you know what I mean, ladies.

$15 on clearance.

Here is the same one in pink. I LOVE the back…

If she’s not incentive to get out there and sweat, I don’t know what is!

Going to celebrate {Ash Wednesday} with a nice big salad and at least a 20 minute jog this evening.

The iPod is loaded up.

No excuses!
