My weekend

Friday morning my team of fatbusters went to use our free 1 month certificate at the local gym. I had to take my rider/friend home and fix her sewing machine so it would sew then go home change my clothes and head to the gym. we were supposed to meet there at 9, but i told them i may be late. guess what, i was the first one there and had to wait for my team mates. After a tour from way too excited Matt, we started on the first day of working out. I did a little stretch, then we got on elliptical. and then on to other machines. OK, let me tell you right now, I hate gyms. I couldn't wait to get out of there. It makes me feel like all those skinny people are looking at and saying go get skinny first, then come back here. I know they aren't, but that is just the way I feel going in there. I could wait to get out those doors. One of my teammates feel similar, so he is gonna burn me a disk he has, and I will walk more. I don't want to go there again.

So after i got home, i ended up taking a nap and slept till John woke me up at 430. we went to dinner at that place we like to go to. I brought my camera and took some pics, so i will post them up. Its called sips bistro, and we really like it there. I had a Caesar salad and for desert, we had a chocolate fondue. Now that was fab. and I figured I could duplicate it at home. Since it was my birthday weekend, John let me pick what ever wine I wanted for dinner, so I chose a local Sangiovesi. it was just as yummy as the last time I tasted it.

Now, here is the where the money gets gone out of our checking account. Our big screen projection tv finally refused to stay turned on. we would turn it on, and then after a few minutes, it would turn itself off. I had told john that when i get my yearly bonus check next week, we could go buy a new tv. that got pushed up a week. We went to costco and bought a 47 inch LG lcd HD tv. it was 200.00 off the regular price. we also had to buy a stand. Yes, folks, we spent a large part of the bank today. and on Monday morning, direct tv will be here to turn my tv to a hd set up. cha ching! there goes more of my bank. but, we will have a good picture to match our new tv. until then, we have to work with a remote that wont work so well with this tv. its only a day, we can suffer through it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

last night for dinner, we finally had some fresh crab that John found at our local store. last weekend, we drove for five hours to share a crappy frozen crab. next time we are gonna do a little more investigating before we leave. So after dinner, I recreated the chocolate fondue with what we have here in the house. I made the chocolate with some port and baileys mixed in to thin it out and give it some extra zip. for dipping, I cut up a banana, put three strawberries, and some bread like cookies. it was really good.

whats in store for me today? John is gonna make me breakfast, then my friend is coming over and I will show her how to finish her quilt. I am so proud of her. maybe if we get it done and she lets me, I will put a pic of her and her finally finished quilt on here. So have a great week. I'm gonna do my best to have one.
