Paint the Town Ruby Red

We celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday this weekend in Arkansas! Since her name is Ruby and her birthday is February 13th I decided to go with a Ruby Red theme.

I made a candy buffet with all red and white candy. It was easy to find the candy since Valentine's day was right around the corner.

One of my best friends, Amanda, is a florist and she did all the flowers for me. I found the vases on sale for $1.50 at Michaels after Valentine's day. They were on the 70% off rack. The flowers turned out beautiful!

The Birthday Girl!!!!

I took this with my cell phone so it's not good quality, but you get the idea.

The matte everyone signed!

Mardi Gras in NOLA

So I kind of fell off the clean eating and exercising thing here in the last couple of weeks. I went to New Orleans and there is nothing clean about that place. From the provocative parade to the YUMMY, YUMMY, Unclean food! Although I didn't eat well while I was there I did workout. With that said I did not gain a pound, but I also did not lose a pound.

Last week I was sick. I have been eating a lot of soup, bread, and crackers. Not clean soup, bread, and crackers! I haven't worked out at all cause I haven't felt good. Today I got on the scale and I haven't gained or lost. That's good, but it's time to get with the program again!!!

I will leave you with a few pics from NOLA!
