Summer has me feeling kind of lazy when it comes to the blog. Cooking in a hot, tiny kitchen and sitting at my computer editing pictures are basically the last things I want to be doing. I'd much rather be lounging with a good book sipping lemonade. Or under the umbrella at the beach listening to the waves. Or off on vacation somewhere....
I also feel like my blog is having an identity crisis lately. Is it a healthy living blog? Or more of a food blog? Should I stop using blogger and switch to Word Press? Should I change the name to something in English so people can understand me when I tell them what it's called? Oh decisions, decisions....
Later this week, I'm flying up to visit my mom and dad in Maryland. I hope to catch up with old friends, spend plenty of time relaxing and just soaking in the comfort of being home. My little trip couldn't come at a better time. I feel like inspiration has been a little lacking lately and a change of scenery will be just what I need to get the creative juices flowing again.
And, because I feel the need to prove that I haven't fallen into a black hole, here are some pictures of what I've been up to lately....
I bought a new headboard for our guest bedroom. It's beige linen fabric and it was love at first sight...which is why it was worth renting a HUGE pickup truck all by my little (5'3") self and hauling it home.
I attended a Chevy Fit 4 Life Tour event yesterday put on by GM In The Southeast with a group of girls from my blogging meet-up group. It involved a bootcamp class at Lifestyle Family Fitness in Hyde Park Village, followed by lunch at Fit Life Foods, an art class at Painting With A Twist and finally, Yoga in the Park. It was a long, busy day and I was sweaty and sore at the end of it - but in a VERY good way!
Here are some photos I "borrowed" from the Tampa Bay Lady Bloggers Facebook page, courtesy of Caroline:

Reading magazines at the hair salon today and came across this tasty photo. It's going on my must-make list!
