A look into my productive day...so far!

      I leave for the beach Saturday morning with my Mom and Aunt and the rest of my Mom's side of the family will be down there or meeting us later. I am leaving tomorrow afternoon and headed home so we can leave bright and early Saturday! I am really hoping this Oil Spoil thing will not impact my time of soaking up some sweet rays on the beach. I already dislike gas and oil companies for their greediness and I really don't want to add another reason to STRONGLY dislike them.

     I decided to take some pictures today of things I have been doing! (be prepared to be bored)

     I woke up this morning and finished packing my clothes and beach bag, I only have my cosmetic bag left to pack!

I also made my famous Tuna Salad! I absolutely love tuna and chicken salad. During my time from Ole Miss to Alabama my parents made me get a job for a bit and my Mom had a great idea for me to work at a Deli/Catering business. It was actually a smart move! I learned so much about cooking and catering. I have friends that visit for football games and friends that come see me just to spend time with me and I can't help myself from making finger foods or baking!

The Tuna Salad only takes :
  squeezed tuna from a can (make sure it's tuna in water or albacore tuna in water)
  chopped celery
  Mayonnaise
  Lowery's Season Salt
  Apple Cider Vinegar

It's absolutely wonderful and So-So Easy! Here is the final product!

I also cleaned the Kitchen! I have a pet peeve about leaving my place a wreck when traveling for more than a couple of days! However, my brother will be there so I know when I come back it will NOT look like this!

While I was cleaning and making tuna salad I watched the Today Show through my bar opening! I am crazy about the Today Show! I still wish Katie Couric was still there!




I also sat at my dining room table and my To-Do list for the next two days and had breakfast. I also included a list of things for the beach that I might forget!



    I also wanted to remind everyone about Recycling! I have been trying to do my part in "Repower America" It's an Organization that Al Gore headed up about five or so years ago and it's amazing. These bags are less than a dollar at almost every grocery and department store.   They are easy to fold up and put in your purse or just keep them in your car so you already have them when headed to the grocery store! Did you know you have to use oil to make plastic bags? Did you know it also takes more oil to recycle them? Did you know that small animals can ingest the plastic bags and die if not properly thrown away?  I'm making a small contribution  and you can too by buying these bags and re-using them. Did you know that I have a link to "REPOWER AMERICA" at the bottom of my blog, so go check it out and learn more and start getting active in saving the planet! WE CAN SOLVE IT!

    While I was in Montgomery this past weekend for Memorial day visiting friends, I finally shopped at a "Fresh Market." I could honestly spend hours in this place. I also think it would be a cute daytime date. Fresh Market is just like any other grocery store but BETTER! I made my friend LU- LU eat there for lunch twice! I had a sandwich with chips and fruit the first day. The chips were so good and they only have 1 gram of sugars and starch with less than 12 grams of carbs! I'm officially addicted. I had to buy another bag to bring back to Tuscaloosa with me! These chips are great with salsa and they are also organic! This would be great to serve with salsa for a snack or appetizer on my newly renovated patio/balcony!

I have been at work and after some filing I decided to give my self a pedicure.....I mean I am going to the beach!

Well, that is about it..........I finished my blog for the day while working and I am about to call it a day here at the office and head to work out for hours on end!  I visit my two little girls tomorrow morning from my Big/little Sister program, did I mention how sweet they are?... and we're baking tomorrow!  I hope to make an entry or two while I'm away but if not, I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and great week next week! Wish me well while traveling and pray the oil situation doesn't get any worse! Love ya'll!
