Too Tired

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

Hi guys!
Let’s get down to business. The answers from yesterday’s game are:
1. Donkey kick
2. Plank
3. Bridge
4. Jumping Jack
5. Calf Raise
6. Woodchop
7. Roundhouse

Yesterday was busy. And I am paying the price today, because I just feel beat. Like, mentally and physically busted. I still have another bootcamp and noon today, so I am laying low until go-time!

After all of my activities yesterday, I made my last stop at Jugo Juice where I got 24 oz. of heaven. Complete and udder heaven. I also got a shot of wheatgrass- my fave.

This week’s book is Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin

I really only chose it because the story takes place in Boston. So far, it’s a good read. I like books that take the point of view of several characters.

This week’s nail color:

Kind of awesome that the purple is called Save the Date…

And, before I go wake up this lazy bum…

to take her for a walk so that we can both stretch our legs…

I leave you with one question: Will you please leave a comment on this blog post? Something? Anything? What do you hate? What do you love? What is bothering you? What did you have for lunch today? Do you like you job?

Ok, that was about 8 questions. I was just trying to get the ball rolling…

On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.

The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.

Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

Breakfast this morning was another english muffin with peanut butter and a half banana

Oh my goodness did I lay on the peanut butter..it was a gooey, yummy, delicious way to start my day (that, and about a pot of coffee)

I am off to run errands (Registry, Safeway, ~~mall~~)

How is everyone getting their week started?

Starting Easter weekend

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

I have some serious catching up to do. Especially with food pictures. Because I eat a lot of food. A lot.

Last nights dinner was quick as painless.

Chicken strips with broccoli and quinoa. For the chicken, I cut the breasts into strips, dipped them in egg, coated in cornmeal and baked at 350 for 15 minutes. Yum.

It was obviously a great meal, because Layla wanted every bite.

Then, Tyler and I sampled quite a few of those cookies I mentioned yesterday. They were all-too tasty. And I love them.

Mmm, chocolate never goes wrong in my eyes

We watched the third Harry Potter movie and were off to bed. I finally finished Fifty Shades of Grey and have moved on to Loce the One You’re With by Emily Giffin

Thank goodness for Facebook, I got some great suggestions on what to read next!

Oh, and I finally changed my dang nail polish

Easter festive!

Speaking of Easter, I gave Tyler his basket early. 1) because I suck at holding on to presents because I love giving them, and 2) because some of the candy in that basket was for me and I wanted it!

I.love.easter.candy.

This morning’s breakfast was nice and hearty because we were going for a hike with joe, Twyla, and all the doggies. I had oats mixed with 1/2 mashed banana, raisins, cinnamon, honey, almond milk and almond butter.

We drove to the mountains for our hike and I was able to get some b-e-a-utiful pics.

And my water dog..

Tyler had put some chicken in the crockpot before leaving, so dinner was practically made when we got home (and finished painting the living room!!!!!!! Yay, no more painting for a LONG while!!!! Jen is happyyyyy!)
