A Simple Shindig at la Casa de Shannon | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2008/08/simple-shindig-at-la-casa-de-shannon.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2008. A Simple Shindig at la Casa de Shannon. Where to begin, where to begin? I want so badly to be witty and clever with this awesome concept that Auds. Has blessed us all with, but my tired little brain is refusing to give me anything to work with. (That's probably why I've managed to do 17 million things besides write this post over the last 3 days). When I first read Audrey's post about this fabulous dinner party she wanted to throw, I got very excited and spent quite a while tr...

ARE YOU READY (for a really long post)? | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2008/10/are-you-ready-for-really-long-post.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. ARE YOU READY (for a really long post)? If you are going to see the New Kids concert and don't want to know what you're in for, please do not read this post! I guess at the beginning, right? Way back in May when I first found out that this concert was going to happen, I knew. That there was absolutely NO. I'm going to cut to this past Wednesday when both of my guests decided that they were going to try to bail on me on the exact same day.a mere 3 days before show time! The crowd ...

Pushing forward | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2012/04/pushing-forward.html
Sunday, April 22, 2012. Last week I allowed myself to have a little meltdown. I gave myself one minute to cry, and then I wiped away the tears, got up, and pushed forward with a new outlook. This week I decided not to think about the scale, or formulas, or systems.I decided to just listen to my body and get it done one choice at a time. I ate what felt good. I didn't deprive myself of anything, but ate thoughtfully. I lost 5.6 lbs! I want to be able to play with my daughter and nieces. Really. I also tri...

Say what?! | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2012/04/say-what.html
Monday, April 9, 2012. I knew that at some point in the process of losing weight and getting healthy I was going to feel discouraged. It's just part of the deal. What I wasn't expecting was for it to happen 2 weeks in. The 1st 9 days of WW were great. I was committed and motivated. I was following the plan with ease, and seeing the results. And then, for no apparent reason that I could discern.the weight loss just stopped. It just doesn't make sense. So this week I'm trying something new. I'm going t...

Success! | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2012/05/success.html
Sunday, May 13, 2012. I reached my first weight loss goal. I officially weigh 5% less than I did when I joined weight watchers a little less than 2 months ago. My other unofficial 1st goal was to be able to wear my wedding rings again.and I am ALMOST there! This morning I was able to get my wedding ring all the way on my finger. It's still too tight to wear, and I wasn't able to put on my engagement ring with it- but it won't be much longer before they are back where they belong. Posted by Simply Shannon.

Thursday, July 10, 2008. Time for another round of Real life photos! This week's assignment is photos of momentous occasions. Now, on with the show. What you need to know-. I am a sinner. My husband and I lived together for 8 1/2 years before we actually made it legal. We were only engaged for 6 months.so I waited a VERY long time for that special piece of jewelry. Is the picture that I sent to my family to tell them that we were finally going to get married. Having all of those eyes on me made me way to...

Finding the light | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2011/09/finding-light.html
Wednesday, September 7, 2011. The other day my sister called me to tell me that she saw an ad in our local newspaper for a camera club that's looking for new members. She thought that I might be interested and suggested I check it out. So I went to their website and had a look. I was pretty impressed and decided to give it a try. I thought to myself "Well shoot! These people have been working on this all summer and I have 1 week to pull it off? I only had to come up with a few ideas. Totally doable!

My Rules | Simply Shannon
http://blog.simplyshannon.us/2012/09/my-rules.html
Saturday, September 29, 2012. I was very amused to find that the strongest reaction to my most recent blog came from my older brother. He pointed out to me that while I may think that I am distancing myself from organized religion, my Christian background is still very much in evidence. He's not wrong. If you want to understand me. You have to know my rules. These are the rules that I. Live by. That's not to say that I expect anyone else to agree.this is just my own personal code of conduct and t...2 do ...
