I’m taking Saturday off!

15. Cook home meal(s) (45/143)

February 23, 2009

Friday night I made spaghetti and Malek made garlic bread.  Carb loading for our 5K on Saturday.

The Mardi Gras 5K was OK.  It was very windy and cold in the morning.  5 mins before the race started the sun came out…and THE HILL took it’s toll on my race time.  I definitely didn’t [...]

#26 – Try a yoga class / tape

February 19, 2009

I finally tried out a yoga class!  I’ve never done yoga before and Amanda’s neighborhood community center offers classes on Tuesday night.  So I figured why not?!  It was a great first yoga class!  All the stretching really helped my sore muscles from Monday’s weight class.  Not sure I’ll go every week, but I think once a [...]

#65 – Dinner at Truluck’s!

February 17, 2009

I received a gift card to Truluck’s for my birthday and figured what better time to celebrate at Truluck’s then for Vday!  So Monday night Jonathan and I headed to Truluck’s for a post valentines day dinner (We wanted to avoid the craziness on Valentines Day).  For the occasion I wore my awesome red dress that my dad [...]

   For Valentines Day Malek prepared a wonderful dinner at home. 
We started the night off with wine and several cheeses: extra sharp white cheddar, Gouda and feta cheese with pita bread.  Jonathan seasoned the steaks and potatoes and cooked them on the grill while I enjoyed the couch and cheeses.    I love my [...]

#97 – Take Sarah to the dog park at least once a month (17/33)

February 4, 2009

Last night Sarah and I went to Old Settlers for Malek’s football game.  I brought her favorite ball and gave her free reign on the neighboring field.  For the next hour we played ball and I chased her around.  Great exercise for the both of us!

Carnaval Brasileiro!

February 2, 2009

This past Saturday was Carnaval Brasileiro!  Ever since I heard of this carnival I’ve wanted to attend :  the costumes, the bold colors, the samba music, and reckless abandon!  It’s an annual Brazilian style Mardi Gras celebration held in Austin, TX.   Definitely an experience I recommend everyone try at least once if you can.  We had a ball!
