Time for a bunch of pictures from the last week #2.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it was -400 degrees on Saturday night in Park City we probably would have taken a sleigh ride.  Instead we just took a picture with the horses and named them Rupert and Everett.

Just practicing some upward dogs by the door.

You have to admit this dog has pretty good yoga form.

Too cool for school.

Catching snow flakes is her favorite thing to do lately.

Please tell me that you crave Wendy’s chili and baked potatoes when it is snowing outside.  Okay, it is probably just me then. 

IMG 7520

Still rocking the santa pajamas.  They are just too cute to not wear year round.

My favorite meal at home lately.  My skin is slowly but surely turning orange from the absurd amount of sweet potatoes that I eat each day.

IMG 7492

The coolest salt and pepper ‘shakers’ at our table the other night.   We all decided that it is so much nicer to have a little scooper to use instead of the normal shaker.  We have very deep conversations at dinner.

IMG 7532

I really liked the scooper as you can tell.

Why waste time with bread or hands when you can just put your head down and lick the jam off?

Random: I can taste the difference between all of the different brands of whipped cream at the store and have developed strong preferences and an order of operations for when shopping under duress or at a store that doesn’t carry my brand. :0

Another big snow day here!

Random…

My hub and I are both Navy brats. His Dad was a submariner and mine was a skimmer (navigator in the days of celestial nav).

Last night my hub came home and said, “I saw a ship with really bright lights on the horizon. I wonder what it was, and it’s a question for your Dad.”

I reached down, picked up my phone, called my folks though it was 3 hours later, and sure enough…

Dad was awake and explained what Scott saw. He taught us about the various lights, uses, positions, etc.

I went on a crazy sweet potato kick towards the end of last year and ate so many that I haven’t been able to even look at them since. Just a warning to consume them in moderation otherwise you will end up like me! I’m in a bad place with sweet potatoes.

I had an awesome run last night. Only four miles but it was the best four miles…. ever? I think so!

I’ve had pizza for my last three meals and am already looking forward to having it again for lunch.

The Santa PJ’s are a must, our daughter loves Hello Kitty so naturally the Hello Kitty Christmas PJ’s are still being worn these days. Who can resist catching snow flakes, huge favorite of mine!

Random comment – dealing with an IT band injury, no running in a couple days and I’m going crazy. Any help is appreciated!! I’m about to go to the home remidies of multi colored pasts and black magic to remedy this LOL.

Weston still wears his Christmas PJs too. I figure you can wear a reindeer on your bum until at least March :)

I love the Wendy’s Chili/Baked Potato combo! But you have to pour the chili on top of the plain baked potato to make a Wendy’s Chili Potato.

Reply

Crazy snow/sleet/rain/mess here today, luckily work closed so I don’t have to try to drive anywhere.

Random fact, I like snacking on fake crab – by itself. It started in high school when I was in cross country and we ate such healthy snacks as tubs of frosting. Luckily that habit didn’t stick.

Reply

Random fact – snow day today! No school!

Hahahha that last picture of brooke with her face in the plate is priceless. Random fact: I want pizza and I’m more than tired of this freezing rain. It’s really cramping my style.

The other morning my dad woke up and found all the kitchen cupboards open, usually the cat does that, but she was in bed with me all night (I sleep with my door closed). We still have no idea why they were open haha

Reply

haha love that last picture! My little kids {I babysit for} would literally come sit next to me in the bathroom if I let them. Kids are too funny!

Reply

I’m so hooked to sweet potatoes right now too. Our bodies must need it this time of the year.
I drove from Chicago to Cincinnati yesterday in this horrible weather in a soft top Jeep Wangler (my BIL was driving). Scary to say the least, but we made it!

Reply

I am surprised that I have yet to turn orange from the amount of sweet potatoes I consume! And yeah, once you have kids, you can no longer go to the bathroom alone – always find you! lol

Reply

I LOVE Wendy’s chili and baked potato too! It’s my new favorite thing. We just got a Wendy’s built by our house, so between the chili/baked potato and their frostys, I’m in trouble. It’s super modern and nice too, so it makes me feel like I’m going to somewhere a little fancier than just Wendy’s. ;)

I love how Brooke is trying to catch the snowflakes – so so cute!

Reply

Random: I am on day 3 of my AdvoCare 24 day challenge. So far its going pretty good…..has anyone else done one? I will probably go home and eat a sweet potato for dinner after seeing your picture. I haven’t had one in a while.

Hahaha that is exactly how I eat my breakfast too ;)
Random… Ummm I am really craving tacos and it is only 7am. I am trying to think of what time it is socially acceptable to go start hunting down some tacos…

At least you will have a nice glow from your sweet potato frenzy! =)

I played the recorder with my nose for my high school basketball talent show. Used to do karaoke every Thursday night when I lived in heritage halls at BYU. I am kind of a quiet person.

Random Facts:

1. I have never eaten a sweet potato in my life.
2. Even though my son is almost 17 years old, he still feels the need to bother me when I’m in the bathroom. He can be in his room for hours without a peep, but as soon as I go in the bathroom he suddenly needs to talk to me. Never fails!
3. I played the piano for three hours last night. I often go months without touching my piano, and then one day I will sit down and play my heart out. I still have every single piano book since I started lessons when I was five years old, so I take them all out and play all my favorite songs. It brings back a lot of old memories!

I have been living on Whole Foods salad bar lately when I am at work… After I toss in the lettuce, veggies, and some other goodies, I have been scooping a huge spoonful of mashed sweet potatoes on top and mixing it all into my salad. This probably seems weird but it is wonderful and delicious and is almost like the thickest salad dressing you’ve ever had. :)

Reply

Yes, I too satisfied a Wendy’s Chili craving on a cold snowy day on Monday. My tongue is still burnt :-(

Pink and red Christmas PJs can double as Valentine’s pajamas!

Your last picture totally reminded me of when my younger sister would have a time out in her room she would stick her hand out the bottom and cry “help me”. I would always feel so bad for her and beg my mom to let her out :)!

My dachshund stole one of my Pure Flow 2’s and drug it into his bed to sleep with it. I spent 30 minutes looking for it and when I found him asleep in his bed and using it as a pillow I couldn’t even fathom taking it away. Fortunately I have 3 back up pairs and he is still sleeping with that shoe. My doxie has great taste in shoes!

My fun fact that I discovered this week is that I will be 26.2 years old on October 17 and I’m going to run the Chicago Marathon again, which is October 12…so so close to it being exactly on my 26.2nd birthday (that should be a thing).

Reply

I really enjoy anything warm when it’s cold. Right now we are receiving pouring rain, sleet and ice and all I want is comfort warm food like soup.

A bizarre fact about LOLZ…This is taking me entirely too long. Do you feel like with blogging you have very few secrets? What haven’t I ever even blogged about…Anyways my bizarre fact is that in high school I won a dance contest at a bar (18 and up) by having the best “pop lock and drop it”. YAY for dancing on a bar stage. That was the end of that life.

Aww, Brooke looks so adorable doing yoga, and so does the puppy doing “doga”! Something random: we have close to a foot of snow at my house here in Massachusetts, so I’m working from home today. I went to take one of MY puppies out (he also practiced doga), and slipped and fell in the snow. I made the poor choice of going out in my pjs without a coat on, and was covered, head to toe in snow! I’m not a fan of being wet AND cold. But other than that, I’m OK. :-)

I seriously wear my Christmas PJs year round! No shame!

Ooohh you make me want to live in Utah!! It looks so beautiful there. I want to play in the snow too!!! It was a high of 85 in Florida yesterday. :(

i heard that it’s national sweet potato month, so it’s perfectly acceptable to eat so many sweet potatoes that you turn orange ;)

and i definitely wear christmas pajama bottoms year round. they’re the warmest!!

I would wear Santa PJs year round, too, if I had some.

Something random: My new favorite thing about the snow is that our neighborhood is deserted and I can let Bungee run crazy and free through the neighborhood.

I actually DID turn a slight tint of orange during a time when I ate to much carrots! It just looked like a really bad spray tan :lol: Not too sure about sweet potatoes though… ;)

I have never had Wendy’s chili and baked potato but friends just love it. Not sure if I have anything random to share I’m kind of boring.

I don’t think that Rachel should have been awarded the title of Biggest Loser last night…

Well something wonderful was that I ran negative splits today on my 4-miler and I felt amazing. The key to proper fueling is half of a vegetarian burrito bowl with a side of chips and guacamole.

I then almost got run over by a furniture truck as it decided to start backing up when I was right behind it.

Hmmmm something random…. I found a forgotten-box of my favorite tea (mint green) in the back of our cabinets yesterday and now I’m happily binge drinking it. delicious.

My hands have seriously turned orange from the amount of sweet potatoes and carrots I eat. Everyone thinks I use self-tanner and don’t wash my hands. It’s actually really funny. But I can’t give up my sweet potatoes!

I am jealous of all that snow in Utah! It is cold and dreary here in D.C., and I almost fell on my butt three times this morning from the ice, but we don’t get snow. Winter without snow is completely worthless, if you ask me.

I love the picture blogs! That is funny about turning orange. Happens to me with carrots. I always tell my husband “I’m gonna need to break up with carrots for awhile” when it gets really bad.

I just made a donut run at lunch! My boss gave me $10 which is just enough for a dozen donuts. I had a blueberry cake and a jelly. YES! 2 DONUTS! It snowed, sleeted and rained and I trudged to work. Worthy of a 2 donut reward.

Murphy’s Law for Runners (http://theruniverse.com/2012/03/murphys-law-for-runners/) was in full effect this morning. Especially this one: The rain will start to fall about 5 minutes into your run, and stop about 5 minutes before you finish.

This is my last week of running in Hawaii, so I embraced the rain and ran anyway!!

I downloaded an app on my phone where I can log how much water I drink and it tells me how much more I have to go for the day’s goal. My phone is usually on silent but today I was studying and all of a sudden a loud rushing water sound came from my phone and totally made me jump..yep that was the alarm going off at noon to remind me to drink more water! So funny

Random facts: I’m getting a puppy! And already I’m thinking about how I will dress her for Halloween.

Also, in a desperate attempt to get rid of a zit, I applied toothpaste to my face last night. I know, not good.

I’ll be right out.” “Okay I’ll wait out here…2 seconds later…Allie??!?! You done?!?! I’m coming!!!”
