My Other Blog

Hi all,

By now most of you have probably figured it out, but I'm not really into maintaining two blogs these days. I have been focusing on building up my health blog instead, and most of my regular life happenings are being included there as well.

Embracing Balance

I know you aren't all interested in my menu habits, gym days, or food porn but within that is a lot of fun regular stuff too. :) Check it out.

Monkeying Around

I finally hooked up the scanner, so here's the photo of me and the little resort monkey in Punta Cana. So cute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!

Today is Arron's birthday! Woooooooooooooo!

Our plans for a little night out on the town got shafted by the Navy (of course!) so instead he had himself a boy's day when he got back from a couple of days at sea yesterday. Beers, chips, F1 on the big TV, Kartbahn (go-carting), and video games. Good times. (I went shopping.)

For a giftie he ordered himself some sort of fancy guitar thingamajig. It's a port thingy to connect his guitar to his computer and it has all sorts of different settings so he can record music and be a rock star in the basement. He'll have to explain it. But that's what I got him. :)

There may be cake or something later today. If he's a good birthday boy.

Tourists Can Finger Paint

OK, so when Lex told me to do the finger painting at our resort I thought maybe she was a little crazy. haha. I mean, finger painting isn't usually an adult activity. Maybe she'd been hanging out in the kids club while on her vacation last year. :)

But low and behold there it was on the daily activities sheet. Finger Painting!

I sort of forgot about it, but one day at poolside a large crowd was gathered so we checked out what it was...and sure enough it was the finger painting class. Of course I was too late for the free first class, so I ended up paying $10 to sit in on the second round (nice setup on their part....get everyone all interested then throw a price tag on it).

The teacher was a hilarious Mexican guy that spoke about a zillion languages. He was funny and completely trashed on everyone's artistic skills. "oh, that's terrible." "geeze lady, give me that." "holy crap, what are you doing?" Totally worth the $10 for the comedy alone. The fun painting was just a bonus. Of course, he touched up everyone's work so we didn't take home a totally amateur piece of trash.

Super cute bathroom art!

Fuzzy Pants

Mr. Stoopy has been feeling a little left out of the blog lately, so here's some current photos of my furry little man...
