Getting Back to our Roots

February 21, 2011 12 Comments

Waking up this morning I was a bit sad to realize the weekend was over. Bill and I had lots of fun even though it was cold and rainy here. I do have today off but have lots of chores to do since we were visiting Mom and Dad in Orange County yesterday.

Here are some highlights of our weekend

Good coffee:

Our favorite so far:

Great wine:

Root Vegetables!

First time roasting in the oven

YUM YUM:

Today we are expecting the countertops guys, going to TJ’S for groceries, and I am sure another trip to Lowes in in store.

Hope you have a great day!

Are you off?

Nothing Like

February 9, 2011 11 Comments

Hello Friends!

I can’t believe how quickly time flies. I feel like I just blogged but in reality the last time I blogged was last Friday night-Crazy!

Thank goodness this week I have had my normal amount of energy again. I got up Monday morning and did Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred. I think this is my favorite level so far. I love all the plyo moves that come with it. This really is a great workout. My plan is to wake up tomorrow and do it again

This week though there has been nothing like some good coffee:

We got this little gem from our favorite bike shop. I know-a match made in heaven bikes and coffee.

Take a closer look:

Love the description.

Cant wait to try some other flavors. All of them have such unique names.

On the house front, there is nothing like…………

getting our appliances delivered!

Thank you Lowes work men.

Come to mama:

Now we just need a countertop, backslash and the microwave installed.

Pepsi seems to think it will happen soon

Hope you all have a great night and thanks for reading

Meet Braeden

Today could have been called the Perfect Day

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”

One Thing I Love About Blogging

June 28, 2010 27 Comments

Good Monday Morning Friends!

I apologize for not blogging yesterday. I honestly do not think I have EVER taken a day off from blogging since I started on January 1, 2010. I also apologize for being MIA from your blogs as well. Unfortunately, I think I may not be able to catch up on yours until later today at the earliest.

Honestly I have something going on today that is taking up some of my time and energy and I have had to stay off the computer in order to focus on it. I will tell you more about it after today

One of the things I LOVE about blogging is that people/companies WANT to give you things to try out so you can talk about them on your blog.

I was lucky enough to try some amazing things as of late that I had never heard of and never tried before.

Please allow me to share these amazing bars:

Now I know I have talked about/eaten/reviewed a lot of bars. But these bars are different because they REALLY taste like you just whipped them up in your kitchen. SERIOUSLY! Also, they do not have a long shelf life-6 weeks is the limit and that makes me think they are closer to homemade then most. They are called Jump Starter Body Fuel Bars and you can either order off the website or if you live in town you can get them at Metal Mountain Bike Shop.
