You have been such a blessed love to us for such a long time.

We love your sweet bear cub body.

We love your gentle temperament.

We love how spunky and excited you can still be.

We love how you love a good car ride.

We are so very lucky you are still with us today.

Happy Birthday Bear Cub!

Now let’s go get you a Mc Donalds Burger

We ditched all necessary chores and instead did what made us happy.

I got in a beautiful ride along the coast:

There were lots of surfers out:

And Jack came along:

Jack and I  caught up while riding and stopped along the way to take it all in:

Just a perfect ride!

Afterwards Bill and I met up

We walked downtown for a beer and lunch:

We were fortunate enough to get to Doggie sit a special guy today……

Please Meet Braeden!

He quite possibly could be the handsomest Lab I have ever seen

And the sweetest!

Hope you are having a great weekend too filled with lots of fun and not many “to-do’s”

How is it that I have so little to do but keep so busy?

In a nutshell, Pepsi and I did some hiking with Khrystle and Sade:

I  taste tested some of the Honey Milk:

Chocolate is VERY good folks.  Pick some up if you can!  Great recovery drink with lots of protein and no junk added like other protein drinks.

And Bill and I joined my sis and her hubby for a great cookout feast.

Delicious appetizers:

Some smoked salmon:

My plate with a bit of everything:

Family is Good!

Hope you enjoyed some family time this weekend too!

What was the most favorite past of your weekend?

It turned out sooooo good.  Granted it is not wild salmon which would explain why it was so buttery tasting but sometimes you just have to eat what you are craving.

So good! Especially on a big salad with hummus.

Before I made dinner though I did something I have not done in ions-YOGA.  I think Averie at Love Veggies and Yoga has inspired me!  Granted it was just 25 minutes of Hatha Yoga from Yoga Download but it was amazing.  I forgot how much I LOVE it.  Thank you Averie for inspiring me to get my Yoga mat out.

Today I finally woke up feeling a bit like my old self.

Started with a warm cup of coffee and computer time:

And then felt energetic enough to go for a run!  It had been way toooo long. 

I felt pretty decent though Pepsi was not too spry.  Sometimes she seems like a young girl and other times she seems like an old girl.  Today I was running with “old girl.”  Makes me sad.

Came home.

Got ready for work.

Walked to work with my lovely ladies, Debbie and Julie.

Drank my green monster and ate my fiber cake:

The rest of the day went by in a blur.  Sometimes teaching is just one crazy episode of action after another.

And now, I am sitting here in my living room relaxing and getting ready to make something to eat.  I think lots of grilled veggies are on the agenda tonight.

After I completed my short yoga session I mentioned above, I realized it was something I had been missing from my daily routine.  I am going to try to do a few yoga practices each week again.

Is there something you feel is missing that you would like to reintroduce back into your routine?
