A Great Gift Idea

I came across this on line today and what a super gift idea!  You have to see the site because they offer a variety of different boxes.  The cool part is that the recipient gets to ultimately choose his/her own gift!

 I have a few people in mind, but if you recall, I was out most of the day Wednesday and pretty much completed the shopping.  

It is a great idea though…ummm, is that a Joanne hint?

Happy Hour Plans

Ted and I are going to check out Grimaldi’s as they have a happy hour with munchies today. 

We did get a head start at home.  It’s referred to as our “Get Ready and Go Vino”.    This is the bottle Jackie and Rock gave us.  It’s very nice. It’s an earthy wine that has a lingering finish. It has good “legs” as well.  It is a blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Cabernet Sauvinon. 

It’s time to hit the restaurant road. Recap tomorrow after Shane and I get back from our run.  We’re going for a minimum of 7 miles tomorrow. Depends on the weather of course.  Have a great night!

New look to wordpress

Wow! What a surprise.  I opened up to do this post and the whole look of the page is different.  Hey Guys! I REALLY like it!

This morning, yes, I did get up and work the missed chest work out from earlier in week.  But instead of doing any  warm up aerobics, I went right to weights for 40 minutes. I have to say it was only actually 30 minutes because I was foolin’ around, looking at books, la-de-da-ing it. Shane and I had a great jog/walk though. We jogged about 2.5 miles and walked 2.25 miles. 

Now for the review on the new oats.  Remember last nights post?   So I talked Ted into trying them with me and made a double batch using 1/3 cup dry per person. They do look a bit thicker and slightly darker than average oats.

 I added a peeled pear, 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 TBS organic unsweetened reduced fat coconut.

1 TBS Raisins.  I separated some oats for Ted and then added 2 TBS soy milk and 1 tsp pure maple syrup. The result from both sides:

Good… very tasty.  Not sure the difference is worth the bigger difference in price but we’ll enjoy the 2 boxes I ordered for a while.

To go with the oats, I made a VPX shake with 2 strawberries and 1/4 cup of FUZE.   

That’s the early morning report, except ….did you know…..Today is Walt Disney’s Birthday (1901) and also…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY,SAMMY D!
