After a very busy, social weekend, I feel like I am just playing catch up today. Normally I get ready for the week ahead on Sunday evenings, but we were celebrating 4th of July with family and friends until way in to the evening. Then I had to teach at the gym this morning so I am just now really getting things knocked off my to-do list.

Normally I do a Menu Plan Monday post, but we have so many leftovers from the weekend, I am just going to point my crew in the direction of the fridge and say “good luck” if they tell me they are hungry.

And I thought about getting motivated and joining in on the Monday Motivation post at eMoms at Home, but my list is too long and I don’t know if I can hold myself to any sort of leverage today. I think I am just going to work until I drop - whatever doesn’t get done tonight will have no choice but to wait until tomorrow.

The blogging birthday bash at my other blog, Essential Keystrokes, was a hit and I just posted the list of winners. Now it’s time for me to enter a contest! The ladies at Pinks and Blues Girls Blog have another fantastic set of prizes to give away. I love the Vera Bradley bag and since I am such a purse girl, how could I pass it up? Plus, there is a Coconut Body Butter from The Body Shoppe to go with it - one of my favorite scents.

Here’s hoping that the rest of the week can be relatively quiet and I can get caught up!
