Tuna, Tomatoes, and Noodles

Yesterday morning, just as I was about to walk out the door, the most hilarious mishap occurred. Sometimes you really wish a video was constantly rolling to capture such moments. Joanne: “I gotta go”. Ted: “I WISH I could go. I have to stay home with HIM!” … Ted was teasingly referring to Shane who was eye balling him, tongue hanging out and HUGE rope ball toy at his feet. This rope ball is about 7” in diameter with two rope extensions on each end. Great for playing tug-of-war. At THAT moment, Shane grabbed the toy, swung it into [...]

Tinkering with Tofu

Last night I went to an adult CPR class. Interesting. This is required for my Running Coach certification in June. I’m excited about that! Wednesday night, I have the First Aid class that I have to attend. Last night’s class went from 6 until 9 pm. There were 15 people in attendance. We covered a lot of material, not just CPR. I formed a very special bond with my man. I must have done everything right because I’m CERTIFIED! The workout: 30 minutes on the E.T., a quick 25 minute leg workout and a 5.19 mile easy run with Shane. [...]

A GIVEAWAY Bar Accessories Needed

The worst thing happened the other day. I’m always in a rush and I will never, EVER learn that bad things happen when I’m in a rush. I was taking a photo of wine when the plaque you see behind those glasses suddenly scooted forward knocking the glasses off the shelf. That would have been a minor catastrophe if I had been at our bar. But I was in the eating area where the NEW CARPET had been installed about a month ago. Oh yeah. You guessed it. All over the carpet. Luckily there is a pattern and the pattern [...]
