Happy Valentines Day everyone! I think it should be renamed Tasty Food and Sweets day DF made me a Kona Cafe breakfast this morning. He made the macadamia nut pancakes with the macadamia nut butter and pineapple sauce! Yum!! He also bought a Red Velvet cake which is my favourite. I think I will be freezing a lot of it. Can you freeze cake or will it get freezer burn? I guess that means more cardio for me this weekend since I was suppose to be eating clean

Margie - Glad you were able to get a good price on a hotel room! I Googled the Big Final Four and I still couldn't figure out what it's about

Sue - Sounds like a yummy Valentine's Day dinner!! DF does most of the cooking for us. I usually make the salads or get take out. I'm not very skilled in the kitchen. Btw, I love your training "assessment".

Lynn - Hope you don't get too much snow!

JPFamilyMom - I'm a summer girl too. I like the snow for a couple of days around Christmas because it makes everything look pretty but after that...

Kate - So nice to see you over here!! Very impressive mileage for January!

Dave - What's a PassPort card?

Well I missed yesterday to say Hello to all my friends here and Happy Valentines day.

Mark and I spent the day together. He made me a design wall. Not exciting or typical diamonds, flowers etc but just what I wanted. We went to Lowe's for my V-day present and purchased some rigid insulation foam. He put it together with caulking and bent some metal for a frame and today we'll cover it with batting so I can put up quilt blocks and design my quilts without having them on the floor. I know to some not very romantic but a gift that I truly wanted and will last forever. In turn I made a cake with strawberries, cream, tuxedo strawberries, steak, salad and scallop potatoes for dinner along with some sparkling wine.

We didn't walk but may head out today, weather has been better than normal with the warm sun helping us at least feel warmer if no temp wise.

Dave, I did start the process of applying for a passport and was going to get the card too but alas we didn't have enough money to go on the planned trip so I never got one. It's on the list of things to do this year.

Bunnyfoo, I think you can freeze cake but your right about freezer burn, it may have a bit of that. I know brides freeze cake but after a year it's not that great. I don't think Miranda froze any of her wedding cake.

Well my coffee should be ready so I'm off. Enjoy your day, I too have a 3 day weekend so it'll be great.

Good morning y'all.

Erica and I got married in Okinawa Japan. I was in the USAF and since we didn't have a freezer we put the cake top in the squadron freezer. We were going to eat it on our 1 year anniv. Well buy the time that came around it had been eaten by hungry troops searching for food on a night shift.

Denise is Mark getting a laugh over this stimulas bill, it will increase the employment in one way for sure, they have to hire people that can understand it. So far as I can tell the congress and senate couldn't get through the 1000 plus pages so they just passed it to get rid of the problem to them.

I joined Face Book yesterday. That was interesting.

Erica is feeling puny so we are going back to bed.

Have an awesome day y'all.

Oh ya, he's still screaming at the TV. We;re keeping our fingers crossed about the economy. Spring seems to be coming and with that our hopes for business. January is typically a bad month for us - just after Christmas so we hope that race season - now that it starts today will help with work. He does do a lot of race vehicles.

I sent you a link to my facebook page album for Disney 1/2 pictures - what little we took. Eva is on there too. Robert from DR.com etc.


Have a good one.

Good Afternoon Team!

Nice day here today, was windy earlier, but that died down (unusual that it was windier in the morning than in the afternoon), so we took dogs for a short walk (1.23 miles). They were happy since they missed a walk yesterday. We only got an inch or so of snow yesterday, but it was ugly all day. It is now melting, there are some drifts from the wind earlier, but you can see a lot of bare ground.

Dave - for Erica - hope she feels better soon!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Scott H]

Like Lynn Says,

Playing at the Adventures Club Bar and came up with these.

OK I have not named this one yet as I just concocted it: OK came up with a name Bimini Twistini - Bimini is a fovorite Dive location, would go well with a fish sandwich on Bimini Bread, conch chowder, and side of rice and peas, no problem mon, life would be good in that one particular harbor.

Bimini Twistini
2 oz Key Lime Rum
1 oz Coconut Rum
2 oz pineapple juice

Shake with Ice serve in Martini Glass with a splash of grenadine

Oh, I wasn't sleeping last night and saw a very touching show , it was called Marathon Love, very moving and very fitting for Valintines day, I thought it was very good. One part made me think our our team mate Jennifer , as they showed the Boston Marathon route passing Wellesley. Without spoiling the story it is a very touching love story.

Hi everyone!

I went to church in the morning, had brunch, and then went for a five mile run in about 40 minutes.

Hope everyone had a happy V-Day!

Hi TEAM!

Snowing – 30 degrees feels like 24 degrees – it’s still winter in Michigan.

I was a slug yesterday, but I did get in a nice 4.4 mile walk today.

Margie - Glad you were able to get a good price on a hotel room! I Googled the Big Final Four and I still couldn't figure out what it's about

Vicky, My DD said it is basketball You know where they throw that big ball in the little hoop thingy. Oh no I think the popcorn is at baseball games. Just wait till Hagen is older Nana will get with the program!!!

Erica-hope you are feeling better today!

Mark - screaming at the television?

I have my Passport – You can get them at US Post Offices. The Passport Cards ($45 for 16 & over) are cheaper than a Passport ($100 for 16 & over) plus you have to supply two passport photos – but I think there are some limitations that apply to the card like you can only use them for land (no air travel) travel only coming back into the USA from Mexico or Canada. But you can fill out all the paper work on line, print, and save time at the Post Office. http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738_2.html

 

[Scott H]

Yep time for us to renew our passports, I like having a passport over the card, works for us and our travel, if a card fits your needs might as well save the $$$.

we gotta get those photos done, our Post office also will do the pics for ya, also the renewal is only $75 I think.

 

[Steffwalks]

Good Afternoon Team!

It's been a busy weekend for us. We have been on the go.

Had lunch with my DD and Grandson today. it was a lot of fun.

Final 4....definitely basketball...or uhm, college hoops! I am impressed Margie that you got a room at all!!! It's the Superbowl of Basketball!!!

I thought the passport card was only good for Canada, Mexico and the Carribean, but

Turned out to be a pretty nice day. I got the supplies so I can start my seedlings for my garden!

Short walk today!

Y'all make it good!

 

[funwalker]

Hi TEAM!

Scott, You are correct - the Post Office charges a $25 fee that I included. Some Post Office will do the photos - ours do not and that cost is extra.

We gotta get those photos done, our Post office also will do the pics for ya, also the renewal is only $75 I think.

Connie, getting a room was not easy!

Final 4....definitely basketball...or uhm, college hoops! I am impressed Margie that you got a room at all!!! It's the Superbowl of Basketball!!!

I am thinking of doing the Brooksie Way Half Marathon October 4th - anyone else doing it? Hummm Detroit is about two weeks later.

It has been a long stretch of days for me. As you know Thursdays I am gone with work and school for well over 12 hours and usually get to bed around midnight. Well, Friday morning came...I got a call from my boss at 3:30am to tell me about the tragedy and she said I needed to come in and help get our volunteers off to Buffalo and help call people in for back up support here in Cleveland. So I was up and got to work in the 5:00 hour sometime. It was an emotional day and tough for us, as one of our office girls went to go stay with a family of the deceased. She has been thoroughly trained for this, but she was still a mess as she was leaving. We ran the office that day with only 2 full timers and a part timer and I worked for over 11 hours (long day for me). I had taken Valentines Day off because we were going on a road trip for Jordan's birthday, but ended up going into work for a couple of hours because of everything. Then we left around noon for Lexington for a Slipknot concert Saturday night, then visited Jordan grandparents yesterday. Drove home and hit the hay. I did manage to get 3 miles in on the hotel treadmill yesterday, but needless to say I haven't had much time for exercise in the last week. I did get to read some posts though...

Margie - Jordan and I were just talking about the Martian Half yesterday. He thinks I should register. We would probably stay somewhere on Telegraph. I know that area since I used to live off of Warren Rd. BTW...The Boneyard on Telegraph and Warren has the BEST ribs you will ever have.

Vicky - Kona Breakfast sounds great!!! I looooove that butter. I'm half tempted to just to make some of that butter and get some premade Hawaiian Rolls to eat today. YUummmmm.

Dave - How cool that you guys got married in Japan. How awful though that they ate your wedding cake!! I guess you guys were understanding, but even a hungry troop should have had more manners than to eat that up! And whats this about banning running skirts?!?!?!

OK...off to pick up my mom and hit the gym. I might have a race to train for!!

 

[windwalker]

Hi Eva, the thing about banning running skirts was to pick at the "Skirt Nation", over on DisneyRunning.com. They are the ruling class over there. You know how you darn princesses will just take over and make us guys walk the straight and narrow.

Yes maried in Japan on friday the 13th. We had to wedding days since the first one was rejected since I didn't have my birth cert over there with me. The church wedding was Dec 13th the official day with birth cert for proff of citizenship was the 23rd of Dec. We use the 13th as our day to remember.

Time to head off to the gym, workout and renew my membership.

Have a super morning.

Happy Panda

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Team!

Looks like a nice day here, need to get out for a good walk, have not done much at all over the weekend! Scott is off today - so may send him out for a good run while I take a good walk! It will be the best day of the week, so need to take advantage of that!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Steffwalks]

Good morning, Team!

Scott, I saw "Marathon Love" too. I thought it was great!

Not much going on today. Just the same old stuff. I have cross training, so I guess I will go get 'er done!

See ya!

 

[Scott H]

Eva, did think about your job when the news came on, Very sad.

Margie, I think you are correct about the Limits of the Passport card, would definatelly not work for us, besides, on the few ocassions when you passport gets stamped is a thing I like Kewl for memories.

 

[funwalker]

Hi TEAM!

Eva-
I hope we get to meet up - I am going in on Saturday, signed up to work the Expo but do not have the details. Because my DD and My Little Hagen are going I wanted one of the hotels across the street - (mile a way) from the start.

Scott- I like my regular Passport too! Just getting the Card for Hagen until he is 16 though.

You lost me on this one? Then we are to ignore as you posted this here by mistake

banning running skirts was to pick at the "Skirt Nation",over on DisneyRunning.com.

I went to the gym this morning. Did 5-miles on the bike - an easy lower body workout; I kept the weights the same but only did 3 set of 10 reps - then 3 more miles on the bike. So I have a head start on this weeks training.

Yes love I was bored and started a rumor to pick at the skirt nation, they beat me severly and even put my panda avatar in a skirt over there.

I need to have some real nice weather to get my mojo back, I've been working out but not feeling the love.
