The rest of Spain
The motorcyclists have free reign in Spain and bike through traffic no matter how tight the fit! I was amazed and kind of scared for them.
Our second day in Spain we decided to park downtown. We probably would have been better off parking at the castle again because we drove in circles almost yelling at each other until we finally found a parking ( Read more... ) -
Spain 2009, Part I
Why were we in Spain? Last year my dad took Mike and I out to eat on Mike's birthday. While having a wonderful dinner at The Four Seasons they mentioned they were going to Spain in 2009, they got a villa for 2 weeks (for the price of 1 week) http://www.spainvillabythesea.com/ and ( Read more... ) -

Chocolate cake in a mug recipe
I can't wait to give this recipe a try! And I might not have to wait too long because it comes with healthy recipe alternatives!!!
Speaking of healthy.... I have been having a tough time with getting this pudge to budge. I have been tracking points but easily go over my points. Grrr..... This past week I started to do Core and bam! It is ( Read more... ) -
Mere reflections....
Today I was chatting with a coworker of mine, she is older than me with a 39 year old son and is raising her 3 year old grandson. We got into a conversation about how she has become so much more sensitive to how we shouldn't just expect our kids to know better when they are only 3 years old than when her older children were young. I chided with ( Read more... ) -
Yumminess....
Just happened across these yummy muffins. I had to share them with you. At only 100 calories (they are small) and 6 grams of fiber it was only 1 point!!! Can you say quick, low point breakfast for me?!?! I got the frozen ones at Randalls and am going to seek out the mix so I can make my own.

Last night I finished reading The Last Lecture. Wonderful, sad, eye opening..... I will definitely be reading this one again and again to keep perspective. I was surprised when Mike said he wanted to read it too. He rarely reads books.
I should be done with The Cave sometime soon. It is almost painful to read sometimes, the way it is structured ( Read more... ) -
Rubik's is part of who we are....
My mom is in California staying with my brother Gerhard. She just wrote to everyone a little glimpse into her day of watching his family run around, playing with the kids and whatnot. She then mentions how she was sitting there and looked up to see a Rubik's cube sitting at her desk in her room while everyone slept. She didn't put it there ( Read more... ) -
Ottoman....
I can't tell you how excited I am about getting these ottomans.
I was at my niece's house this past weekend and thought these were just great. When I found out they were only $30 and a great storage unit for the Wii components. Well, I just had to get not 1 but 2!!!! Maybe Mike will like them even more than me and we will order 2 more.... Ha, ha ( Read more... ) -

I just finished reading The Lovely Bones. While not one of the best books I have read, it was a good read and made me cry. I sort sympathized with the mother in the book for a little while but then I totally didn't understand what she did in the end, how she could leave her children behind and not see them for what, 5+ years?!?! The story took a ( Read more... )
