My 30 Day Journey to Physical, Mental and Spiritual Fitness: Day 8 thru 30 + Update

I would like to start by deeply apologizing for seemingly falling off the face of the blogland right in the midst of My 30 Day Journey to Physical, Mental and Spiritual Fitness…. If you would give me just a few more minutes of your time… I promise you that I will make my best attempt to set the record straight point by point…

1. Somehow in the midst of the Blogger system updates, I was unable to post in blogger using my hotmail account. After doing some preliminary  research I thought that it was an issue using my company computer; so I continued journal for a while but I lost motivation after not being able to post and reaching my fitness goal.
2. Yes! I did reach my goal, but it was short lived.
3. Read #2 again… I learned that reaching, obtaining and maintaining Physical, Mental and Spiritual Fitness is definitely a journey and not a marathon.  It takes everyday to maintain this level of fitness.
4. I am going back to square one and implementing ways to make this a way of life for me!  I will share them as I journey along the way….

Do I still have your attention… I do???? Wonderful!!!! Well, I have since learned that one must possess a gmail account to log into to blogger and that I really miss blogging… I really miss sharing my thoughts and ideas and all that has been going on in my life! 
This lil’ ole piece of the bloggy world houses so many precious moments in my life and I have got to get back into the habit of capturing them here…

Now, that we have all of the preliminaries out of the way I would like to share a few exciting things that have happened in my life since I last posted!!

• My brother-in-law got married and I was able to fit comfortably in my dress on the day of the wedding!!!! What a feat and the wedding was absolutely stunning!

Until Next Time,

My Christmas Closet

With the current economical times that we are facing; now is a great time for us to swarm the clearance racks and discount stores. This past weekend I started a little Christmas shopping

at the one and only Burke's Outlet. Here is the link: http://www.burkesoutlet.com/. This is one of my favorite stores because it does not matter the day of the week or the time of the year... you can always find a good deal... that is if you know {quality}.

Well, as fate would have it the dots rolled on last Wednesday, May 27th. {If you know what I mean by this statement you are an avid Burke's shopper and if not visit the website above}. So my goal was to find the items with the green dots because those items were 95% off. Here is the results of my finds:

Can you believe I got this for about $1.25?

Harvest perfume, Lotion and Bath Gel Gifts Sets

Coffee Mug, Address Book, Shopping Pad and Pen Gift Sets

Huggable, Lovable Bears...

Clothes, Clothes and More Clothes

More gift sets....

The grand total for all of the items seen above was less than $60.00. I am now preparing these gifts for my Christmas Closet.... I can't wait until I find my next best deal ever. Some say that I have a special gift or {anointing} on me to find such great deals... I say..........I dido this quote!
