What's your real age?

I am 27.6 years old, but due to my unhealthy, not-so-fit, busy, stressful lifestyle, I am 34.2 in Realage. YIKES!!!

I found this thing the other night. Take the Realage Survey. It's kind of scary (if you don't exercise a lot and aren't so healthy, like me), but it's actually really informative. Within the last year or so, I have seriously fallen away from my exercise regime and have gained some weight. I have also done several stressful "life changers," like oh . . . getting married . . . buying a house . . .

This was sort of a wake up call. If my body is 6 years older than it should be now, imagine what it will be like when I'm 50? Oh dear.

Let me know what your results are after you take the test.

Adendum: So, I'm not sure if this was cheating or not, but I went back and changed some of my answers. I pretended that I've never had chest pains and I realized that I had checked 2 or more of my family having breast cancer instead of one. I honestly didn't change any of the questions about my diet and exercise (that really would have been cheating). My Realage is now 28.3. That makes me feel a little better. James is of course a few months younger that his current age at the Realage of 27.1.

'Tis the Season . . .

... for making SUGAR COOKIES!!!!

Here are my contributions to Thanksgiving! The cookies, I must say, not only look pretty, but they taste yummy, too!

. . . and lil' smokies in a blanket???

I'm also doing lil' smokies wrapped up in bread products.

We've never had these for Thanksgiving before. Maybe they are a new appetizer. Maybe they are meant to supplement the turkey. Um . . . . maybe Grandma just thought I needed to participate . . . (Actually, she said they were a free sample at Sam's Club the other day. I'm sure she went back to that table more than once.)

I was given a package of the lil's and three containers or pillsbury bread products. Grandma explained very carefully how to cut the crescents in half and then wrap them around the lil's. Well, Grandma only gave me one package of crescents and two other packages of non-matching breadsticks. They all taste good, but they don't look very uniform, sorry.

Happy Turkey day!

NaBloPoMo has gone . . .

. . . down the toilet . . . I guess I have failed at trying to keep up with this November craze. I just can't do it. I'm so ashamed . . . Not really, I don't think it's that big of deal. Please don't be worried about us. We're fine. We just don't seem to manage getting to posting every day. Oh well.

Our house is pretty much back together now. It's dusty and dirty still, but it's pretty much finished! Yippy!

Have a happy thanksgiving.

Only a half day of school on Wednesday.

I love short weeks like short buses!
