I’ve seen so many blogs with models like this one, I had to join in the fun! 

 I don’t look remotely like this; other than the glasses, the hair and eye color!  LOL!  But I would love to be this thin, and wear a little red dress!  (I LOVE the color red.)  I will get there!  Sexy and Sassy!  LOL!

I LOVE Dory from Finding Nemo.  So does my five year old daughter.  She should be a little fish herself because she loves to swim.  And this summer she has given up the floaties and dashes back and forth across the pool.

I think it’s because of her that I even get my exercise in!  I was doing laps in the pool with her yesterday.  We swam for a little over 30 minutes, and it felt good.  It’s been REALLY hot here in Glendale, Arizona.  We hit 113 yesterday.  Victoria (my five year old) and I went swimming close to 7 o’clock and the sun was pretty much gone.  But it was still H-O-T.  So a dunk in the pool is what we gals needed.

My family (hubby, 3 kids, 2 dogs, me) is pretty new to Arizona; we’ve only been living here for three years now.  Originally we’re from Chicago, so desert living is REALLY different!  We miss home, but we really like Arizona.  Can’t complain because the winters here are AWESOME.  And we get through the summer heat by staying in the A/C and JUMPING IN THE POOL!  Woo hoo!

I had a very OP day yesterday, and have started today off pretty good.  I didn’t have to cook dinner last night because hubby was working, and the older kids were at football and volleyball games.  So it was just Victoria and I.  I went to the freezer to grab a frozen dinner.  I was like, what am I doing, need to check the points first!  Hello! 

So I looked up the points, and this meager frozen dinner was like 9 points!  I SOOO knew that I would still be hungry after consuming that, and would not have any points left to eat something else.  I made a nice tossed salad with red and orange peppers (LOVE THOSE) and made pork chops.  Calculated out to 5.5 points and I was VERY satisfied with my meal.  I was so proud of myself!  And I of course had to celebrate with a bowl of ice cream (2 points) because I had the points to spare!  I had a sinfully delicious ice cream by Breyer’s (spell?) called Triple Chocolate.  It is sugar free, and had little bits of chocolate inside.  Yummy!  All the flavor, none of the guilt!  So yay me for a better choice!

Hope you are all having an OP day, and thanks for stopping by.
