O – H – I – O!!!

Went to the Buckeyes/Miami game on Saturday. Not only did we score awesome
seats (Row 1), but we made it on ESPN! Look – that’s me!!! J Brad is to
my left, and my cousin (gray hat) to the left of him.

GO BUCKS!!!

Yum! It’s the first harvest from our neighbor’s garden…he’s so kind to
share!

Deceptively Delicious! Chocolate Chip (with Chick Peas) and the Oatmeal
Cookies (with zucchini & banana purees) were a hit. I also tried the Cous
Cous – which includes adding carrot and squash purees, it was very tasty
too. We’re 3 for 3 so far – more results to come, I’m sure.

So my usually non-picky eaters have become well, picky. Basically they are
choosing to not eat their dinner, but then of course, want dessert. I
received this cookbook as a gift and haven’t had a chance to make anything
yet so I thought I would give it a try. Deceptively Delicious. My thought
is – if they don’t finish their dinner completely, they can still have a
dessert and be happy, and I will be happy knowing the dessert they are
eating is actually good for them. We’ll see how it goes…I think I’ll try
the Oatmeal Cookies (made with banana & zucchini puree) and the Chocolate
Chip cookies with Chick Peas.

Enjoyed dinner out this evening – went out of my comfort zone for my
favorite Tuscan pasta and opted for lamb chops…delish!!! It was a very
satisfying choice.

Attended ‘Wicked’ with a bunch of gal pals – very good show, I highly
recommend it!

Mango season! Yum – one of my favorites! When I lived in Mexico (study
abroad) it’s popular to enjoy chilled mangoes sprinkled with fresh lime, and
a pinch of coarse salt. Try it, it’s delish.

The Boss brought in Chik-fil-A for lunch today…their nuggets are the BEST!
I ate way too many.

Whaa? My only thought is, “Why only 30% off?” I assume ‘lame’ is not what
I think it means.

Success! (PS 139) Woo Hoo, check ‘em out! I’m up to 3 miles now – and I
was a total skeptic about these shoes. They are comfortable to run in and I
was just a little sore the next day…I could notice a difference running in
these vs. standard running shoes. However, on day 2, my ass, thighs and
calves were on FIRE! Keepers.

This is an interesting combo; Tide-to-go and batteries. The conversations
between the Marketing departments of these companies would have been
interesting I’m sure.

I hate when this happens. You should see the floor rug…ugh.

Life has been crazy busy lately. To de-stress I decided to start running
again. We’ll see how long it lasts – 3 knee surgeries and running doesn’t
always fare well on the joints. But…I’ve been eyeing a pair of those new
resistance walking/running shoes that are all the rave (I hear) but I’m not
going to allow myself to get them unless I keep this up. So far so good –
however, I did have to stop to take a picture of this – it had me laughing
at the corner. It’s a little hard to read since it was taken with my cell
phone and due to the glare, but underneath STOP it says “Hammertime.”
