I just wanted to make a post wishing everyone a happy Memorial Day. Today is a great day to honor all of the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I did a post yesterday about all of the freebies you can find on Memorial Day, but I also wanted to let you guys about the free E-cards that you can send to your friends and family today. Tons of sites online are offering free Memorial Day cards.

There are tons of other free card sites that allow you to send Memorial Day E-cards as well as print some pretty cool cards and images. Check them out online by performing a search. You’ll be surprised by what you come across!!

I started my diet today. I know it’s kind of strange to start on Memorial Day being that there are a lot of events and stuff going on. Plenty of opportunities to fail, right? Maybe! I think that it was a good idea to start today. If I can get through this day I can prove to myself that I’m strong enough to stick with this diet through all of the barbecues and free food! I actually don’t have much planned for today, so it probably wont be as much of a challenge as one may think.

Now that I’ve started my diet, my next step is to start exercising. That really is the hardest part. I think it’s easier for me to not eat than it is for me to stick with exercising every day. I’ll probably start off by walking and doing some things around the house. If I stick with it for a few months I’ll buy myself one of those small treadmills. I’ve always wanted one but I didn’t want to waste money if I wasn’t serious about dieting. Hopefully everything will work out great. Yaaay!!

I was doing some shopping online the other day and I came across the cutest bag. When I saw it I immediately thought it would be perfect for those times when I have to pick up a few things from the market. I’ll admit that I’m not the “greenest” person in the world, but I definitely try to do the best that I can when I have the opportunity. I know a lot of people use the recession as an excuse not to be green but I think that’s kind of lame.

I remember last year I used to always watch this green network on television and they would show how Green shopping wasn’t really anymore expensive than regular shopping. And you get the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping your environment. I said all of that to say, I really think bringing your own bags to do shopping is a great idea! It cuts down on the plastic and paper bags we waste.

I wanted to take some time out today to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day. I know this day means a lot to many people, so I wanted to let you guys know that I hope today is a wonderful day for you all. Hopefully you realize it’s more than just a day off of work! I really don’t have any plans for today besides relaxing. It’s actually still Sunday for me because it’s only 2:30am. I know it’s technically Monday, but since I stay up so late every night I don’t consider it the next day until at least 6am!

I think I’m going to sleep in on Monday morning. I’ve been getting up early every day for the past week and it would be nice to sleep in until at least 11am! It might also be nice to light a candle and take a long bath. I can’t remember the last time I did that! I wish I had planned ahead to have a barbecue, but since I didn’t we’ll probably just have a small dinner. I’m just so thankful to be able to spend this day with my loved ones. I hope you all get to do the same.
