what's eating ashley (grape)

ya, lame title.  who gives.
i tried to be cool like the movie "what's eating gilbert grape"
but alas, i've failed.

oh well.  bigger and better things now.
i am now a gluten-free lady as some of you know, if you've been reading
the blog lately. 
let me tell you one thing, when your tummy growls at 11:00 AM and you
aren't quite ready to eat lunch simply because chicken and black beans
and carrots don't sound quite appetizing...this is my fall back.

Gluten-Free Rice Cakes
These bad boys fill my tummy up and tide me over until its lunch time.

yeah, my computer screen is massive. no biggie.

told you they're legit.

they're even Vegan to boot.

this is me looking stellar. as usual

go try something gluten free, then you'll know how i look so stellar all the time. (wink)

i love kungfu Panda, and kung fu Panda 2 was just as funny.
i am loving all of these animated shows lately.

megamind.

Don't forget, the GIVEAWAY too.
You have until next Tuesday (May 31) to enter.

(thanks Rebecca Black .  Your nasal voice and ever-so-clever lyrics are constantly finding their way into my head on a weekly basis...mainly on Friday)


This weekend I will be doing this:


working The Scrapbook Fair for the company I worked for, Crate Paper
This is me, gettin on my way to the show.

I also have a date with this guy tomorrow:  Cybex Arc Trainer

I'm gonna be completely honest.  It's been MONTHS since I've worked out with this machine...but I went last night and I killed about 39 ish minutes on this bad boy.  I am sore from ab to toe.  This is the best workout you can get.  Trust me.  I LOVE this machine.  We are pretty good pals, and it keeps me in shape (besides ROUND that is)

I'm feelin good.  I have started yet ANOTHER strict workout routine.  And trust me, I am going to be keepin ya'll informed.  I need to have some "support" so I figure if I post some before and after photos and chart my progress that it'll help keep me motivated.  (I hope I don't scare anyone)

I also wanted to share a sneak peak of a senior photo shoot from earlier this week.

meet: Kelsey    (homecoming queen + volleyballer + seriously funny lady)  

What are YOUR weekend plans my dears?!
