Did you get your exercise in this week?   I fizzled a  little as the week went on. The holiday break will be most welcome for me.  Ted mentioned last night that we have a lot of resting and wining (that’s the white or red type not the “ , , ” type) to do in the next couple of weeks.  I said “ GREAT! Do we get a rest from our workouts?”  He said “Well, we don’t want to do that but after the workouts, we can take it easy”.   Ted is such a killjoy.  

So far this week I’ve covered about 20 plus miles.  That would be some running, jogging and walking. I’ve spent 35 minutes on the Elliptical Trainer.  Total body has been thoroughly worked out with weights.   I’m in good shape going into the weekend and looking forward to a longer run on Saturday.   It’s expected to be a cold one. At the time of our morning run, the forecast indicates 12 degrees.   Fingers crossed for an unexpected heat wave by Sat. AM.  No matter what the weather, Shane has to get a lot of exercise since we have our party Saturday night and if  he isn’t worn out, he’ll be too excited when guests arrive. 

Goosing the Moose…..Speaking of Shane, he has been attacking my Christmas Moose…

POSTAL SERVICE….

I’ve said it before, I just LOVE getting mail.  It’s the greatest feeling when opening the mail box to see a mysterious box in there.  It’s not so good if the box isn’t addressed to me .   Yesterday, the box WAS addressed to me  .  How exciting!  I knew what it was and I couldn’t wait to open it.

Yippee!  The treats I won at Lick my spoon (great site by the way so make sure to pay a visit!).

So I open the post office mailing box, and find this pretty little box. 

I looked at it from all sides.   I struggled with the bow.  It was tied so securely.

Finally, I managed to untie it.   Look what I found….

Does it get any better?!!! All these Sweet and Salty pretzel treats.  Everyone has a different sweet chocolate coating.   Everyone decorated with different sweet treats.
