Walking around 4th

last night the hub and I made a deal, we would get up at 5:30 before he left for work and go for a walk. I roll over this morning at 6:23 a.m., as he is putting his shoes on, and realize that I had overslept. So, as tempting as it was just to roll over and go back to sleep, I drug my butt out of bed, gave the boy a kiss, put on my Nike's and went for a walk, by myself.

As I was walking I snapped this shot with my phone. I live in a historic carriage district in town and there are several houses that have these lights in their yards. I think they are so cool. Our next door neighbor even has one. And even though we admire it during the daytime we curse it at night when the bright light is shinning through our upstairs bedroom window.

EXCITED! but for only a minute. I finally put two and two together and realized that if you have this nifty sensor in your Nike shoes and you have an iPhone you can go to settings, Nike + iPod, sensor and a little voice tells you to walk around to activate your shoes and then you can sync your shoes with your workout and it will keep up with how many steps you take, miles you walk, etc. HOW COOL IS THAT!?! Well, OF COURSE mine doesn't work. I walked and walked and ran and walked and mine never did activate. What the heck? I feel like I got cheated. This, of course, will require further investigation and perhaps an email to Nike!

Alas, Mexi Rolls

Could it get any better than this? Maybe, but not likely. What are the odds that this small town in Wyoming, that we now proudly call home, has a Taco John's ? Now, not everyone here has the same respect for the Potato Ole's, cheese dip, Pizza burger and Mexi Rolls that I do, mainly people that are from Texas and just don't understand the concept of Mexican fast food. However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home. And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...

Superbowl Party XLVI

With the Superbowl only days away, and more than 100 million people gathering to watch the big event in their homes, my goal is to make your bash the party to remember. The number one thing the Superbowl does is bring people together (which could be both a bad and good thing), so fire up the grill and break out the hot wings and cheese dip folks because it's time for some football! According to an article I was reading in a Billings Gazette insert, there are some rules that you can follow to ensure your party-goers have a foolproof time. FOUR RULES FOR A FOOLPROOF TIME: 1. Give guests a choice of party zones. Who says you only have to have one viewing area? Have more than one TV set up and tuned into the game. One can be used for those die hard football fanatics who want to see every play and call of the game and the other for the chatters and snackers. A basement or a media room would be perfect for the die hard fans and then a TV in the...
