Up Late

Here is a list of memorable things that made up my day. Its important to remember the little things...
1) I got to sleep in!
2) I made myself an Oatmeal Pancake from the South Beach Diet book. It has been SO long since I have had one and they are so delicious! I spread 1 tbs of peanut butter and spenda on it.
3) I got a free 8 oz coffee when I bought gas tonight!
4) Hannah & Marcia & I had a girl's night. Hannah made yummy salad with avocado & chicken.
5) I had some creme brulee from TJ's...so yummy!!! Of course I had to add it to my calorie log but I didn't go TOO much over. :-/
6) Us girls watched a Lebanese chick flick with subtitles. It was PG and a nice movie, albeit a little strange. We felt very international and sophisticated to be watching a foreign film.
7) Matt and I are both up quite late because we had coffee late at night. Its always nice to be up late with him, since usually he hits the sack around 10.
8) Tomorrow is FRIDAY! I am running 11 miles tomorrow. :)

Fabulous weekend

Even though I ate too much, this weekend was lots of fun. Hannah came over on Saturday and helped me make my house nice and clean! Then the two of us couples dressed up and went out to dinner. We went to the Pink Door, which is an adorable little restaurant downtown, near Pike Place. I thought I should post a few pictures of our night...





And here is cute photo of Matt on his hike to Mailbox Peak, early on Saturday. I couldn't go because I had to work! :(

Running, burning and bleeding

I just got back from a 10 mile run in the Seattle area. I just loved it! Unfortunately I was a bit of an idiot and wore some brand new shoes on the run. I am now bleeding and full of blisters! When I finished my run my garmin told me "Congratulations! You won"...then..."You've finished workout." It made me feel so good. I was still about 1.6 miles away from my house and of course since my feet were hurting so bad I had to just take off my shoes. I then walked all the way home barefoot! Thank goodness for 60 degree days!

I am so happy that I just burned 1000 calories. So now I am eating blueberries with a little half and half and splenda. YUM!!!

Tonight I am headed to G & A's for a home meeting. So I think today will be a pretty complete day. Tomorrow Matt says he has a surprise date for me! How about that! Can't wait!

Life on Wednesdays

Wednesdays are my easiest day. I am not sure why that is. Usually I end up having "easier" clients and the day just zooms by. I am always really happy to get off work at 2:00 and then I usually do some exercising. Today it was a little sunny! It actually rained in the morning but when I was about to run the sun came through the clouds and it was a very relaxing run. I love that!

My little kitties are driving me crazy. Two nights ago Flash knocked over my bedside light and alarm clock at about 3am. Later that morning I found him sleeping in the dryer on all the clean clothes! Right now Leo is crying at the slider door and scratching it (bad sound!) so that I will open it and let him out. Of course if I do he will sit there and decide if he wants out or not and let in all the cold air. Of course.

This evening may be a little boring and lonely because Matt is working. I may go to Costco with Pete & Hannah which would be awesome because I need new blueberries! We go through those $7 bags of frozen blueberries in less than a week. They are an excellent evening snack! And speaking of blueberries and am eating a vegan blueberry muffin that is only 210! I had one this morning but I just had to have one more. They from TJs. I love them!

On more thing...not to be long...haha...but I set up a skype account this morning and was wondering how do I find people to talk to. Any insights? Thanks!

Computer photos by request...

Here is a photo of my husband playing with our new computer for the first time. This is for you Joy! Yes the computer is big, but it doesn't weigh that much. We can easily move it from room to room. But of course that is because we have strong muscles. :) And the operating system is Windows 7.

New Computer!

Yay!!! It came today! I promised mom that I would post on my blog when I got a new computer. And its here! Yay!!!

This week has gone by so fast! I was sick for the first two days and then on Wednesday Matt and I went skiing. Now its Friday, and we are going skiing again tomorrow at Steven's pass. Can't wait!

Just a few quick notes...
-I have a web cam now, which means that I can get skype and maybe talk to Joy someday! Joy, let me know if ya want to.
-I made fresh oatmeal cookies this afternoon which were devoured at the home meeting (some by me, unfortunately)
-I discovered today while watching a PBS cooking show that some people have a certain genetic dislike of cilantro. Sometimes it makes the cilantro taste like soap. This is very eye opening for me because I have friend that dislike it and I have never understood why.
-Yesterday I watched the Star trek TNG episode where the Ferengi get stranded in the delta quadrant and I remember months ago watching a Voyager episode about those same Ferengi that had settled on a planet. This was a light bulb moment for me, but I am sure makes no sense whatsoever to any of you reading this.
-I ran three miles today even though I had a headache and am still super sore from snowboarding/falling/working out.

Well I have to say again that am so glad that I have a computer!!!

Weekend update

Awesome Ellen has allowed me to use her computer. However, I am being entirely rude by using it at her house while there are lots of people over, so I had better make this short!

For all you that asked about the computer, we got it on Costco.com and it is an HP. It is 17.3 inches wide. That is all I know. I also got an external hard drive which is Peter is loading with all my stuff from my previous dead computer.

My running has been brought to a swift halt with my present state of being infected by a virus. Yes folks, I am sick. I hate being sick. All I do is blow my nose, sanitize my hands, drink water, take Zycam, and lay around. I tried to do some weights while I watched Star Trek this afternoon, but that didn't last long. I am SO BUMMED OUT!!! I really want to do great on this race coming up, but so far I have been SLACKING.

On a brighter note...I lost a pound this week!!! YAY! And Now I will bring to an end all this rudeness and get off la computadora. But one more thing...I finished my book Pride & Prejudice which was awesome!
