Amy's Current Workout Playlist Revealed

Hi everybody, just in from a few mile workout and put together a new playlist for the week or so that I workout too.  For me the music I hear completely makes or breaks my workout, thats why I usually work out alone, its therapy, its where I get lost and block out the whole world for about an hour a day.  

So, as I was downloading and mixing my list for the week, I started wondering what certain other people who's blogs I follow work out too and went to many and searched for a playlist and couldn't find anybody with theirs published so, I hope this might start a trend, and if you blog yours be sure to let me know, I want to hear it!

So, for this week whats Amy sweating too?

Here goes:

What makes you Beautiful, by: One Direction

(I kick it off with this, I love boy bands, I know rather cougar of me but, I cant help it I do, another reason I love this one is my best friend is always talking about how her High School daughter is dancing around to it all the time (hi McKay) and she is such a fun girl it makes me smile, I can just see her rockin out to it!)

Party Rock Anthem!

(does this need an explanation?  I mean come on you have to shake it when you hear this and you know it!)

Call Me Maybe By: Carly Rae Jepsen

(Girls can I get an amen!  This is Jaycie Claire and I's favorite song right now!  Many dance parties happen in the kitchen to this!  It also makes my "inner Goddess" giggle those that know Mr Grey know what I am talking about {wink})

Glad You Came  By: The Wanted

("technoish" but not over the top)

Drive By  By:Train

(Gotta love Train, well except live on the Racheal Ray show, did you hear them last week? not so great, almost didn't make the playlist this week)

Footloose By Kenny Logans

(I can't help it, I love this song and I always will, so there, and with the new movie out and Jaycie Claire all gaga over it too, I puffy heart love it now! This also makes me think of Jason Coon, those of you who didn't know the younger Mr. Coon may not know he is a fantastic dancer! (I know girls, my motto, if they can't dance you don't want'em!) I will never forget being at a dance in High School, we went to neighboring schools and never really met but, I was at the dance with one of his classmates, (again, I know idiot move on my part) Jason was pretty much running the dance floor and I remember thinking dang, I should just go out there and dance with this guy, but again waaaaaaay beyond my confidence level at the time!  Oh if I only knew then what I know now the great wall of China wouldn't have stopped me!  Hah)

ok back on track, up next.....

Wild Ones By: FLO RIDA

(back to dance and techno)

Domino By:Jessie J

and cooling it down:

Don't Stop Believin' By: Glee Cast

(I Love Flash Mobs and the one Ohio State did to this in the Student Commons is the best I have ever seen, You tube it, the kids and I watch it all the time, Jaycie has most of the moves down and Tucker plays the drums!  So Funny!)

California Girls  By Katy Perry

(Oh how I love So.Cal. puts me there everytime!)

American Girl By: Tom Petty

(Gotta Kick it old school in every workout!)

I Gotta Feeling:  By: Black Eyed Peas

(again cue the Oprah flash mob)

Glamorous By: Fergie

(Girl Power at it's finest!)

We Are Young By:Fun.

(and this is a slow down because by know I am dying!  I love how it is almost like a symphony playing or something!)

Well, thats it right now, how about you what gets you to put your workout shoes on and JUST DO IT?

 

P.S. I know this is over the top girly but, I own it, don't judge, I'm a Girly!!

 

Sweaty Hugs,

Amy

 

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for...........

NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM!

That's right, the Coon household is a huge fan of ice cream (except health fanatic Tucker) but, this is about paper ice cream today.  Designed by my cute friend Elizabeth Kartchner for American Crafts and it's called neapolitan,perfect name! When I saw this line in my lss earlier this week, the scrapbooking studio, I had to have it and use it asap!

Its got a ton of color which, I am not really known for, except when it comes to spring lines, I think after the long winter I just crave color and Liz's line satisfied my sweet tooth!

First, is a layout about our newest six year old Jaycie Claire:

Ok huge draw to neapolitan for me is it matches the new MJ spring line perfect!!!  And most of you know, Jaycie Claire and I love our MJ! (poor daddy's wallet but, we can't help ourselves!)  How did you know Liz?  Was that planned?  Either way thanks for doing that!  hee hee

Next I made some fun mini albums to sell at our beloved WISHES!  These will go up in the shop this weekend hopefully.  Here's a peak at some of those great unique and meaningful mom day, teacher and grad gifts:

in love with the pinwheel embelies and those wooden buttons are some of the cutest I have ever seen!  Look for some little wishes bracelets made with those real soon.

I also did one more larger album with the recent Easter photos of myself and the Coonkids but, I can't show you because I am thinking I am going to submit that one to magazines, wanting to get back into the publishing game again, so maybe you will see it in print {wink}, if not I will be sure to put it up here at a later date!

So go buy some ice cream!  both the dairy and the paper kind!  Your gonna love it after a long winter.

Hugs, beautiful messes, and Best Wishes,

Amy

 

Jaycie Claire "I'm a little 6 Now"

Our newest 6 year old as of February 15th.  These are her 6 year pics I took at my parent's farm on their bridge that goes over their front pond.

And as the title says that is how she describes herself, a "little six" she has said that forever now about whatever age she is.  She has her whole kindergarten class classified as little or big six's. ie "Meg is a big six or Nathaniel R. is  a big six", followed by "I am a little six" I think it is because she is so tiny and not many believe her when she tells them her age so she feels the need to explain.  She is actually a whole head shorter than almost everyone in her class, but the girl has spunk so it doesn't phase her a bit!

Love you "Marge!"  

and you Rock the "little six, girlfriend!"

Love, Mommy

Easter 2012

Hope everyone had a fabulous day yesterday.  We certainly did, got to spend it with family and the Coonkids were overjoyed to get to see Cousin Abby.  The 3 of them have such a special bond, you could put them in a room for a week together and they would never stop finding something to play with each other.  Love that!

Took some pics of the Coonkids before we left yesterday morning and I love how they turned out, I see a mini book with these is our future.  Enjoy:

even got one of Jaycie Claire and I that I love, that never happens.

Notice Jaycie and I's Boots, we are both addicted to footloose at the moment and they all wear cowboy boots to dance in, that is all Jaycie Claire asked the Easter Bunny for, and mommy too!

and my little Eddy Haskell, this is what the majority of our pics really look like, LOL, good time Charlie has to get his squirley faces in every chance he gets.  Oh he keeps me on my toes.

I am off to WISHES today for a major restock, I will have pictures of what we are taking for you to check out soon.  You are gonna love what we are bringing in.  So fab!

Best wishes and a Beautiful paperlife,

Amy
