Weekend Recap w/ Fun Facts!

January 15, 2012 4 comments

These past few days have been event packed!

I’m sort of happy that it’s over, but at the same time sad that it is.

This morning I worked from 9-3 and was a little sluggish. When I got home, I literally crashed a couple of hours later.

After my much needed nap, I feel a bit more energized. I also woke up to a nice dinner prepared by my amazing husband!

Tonight’s Dinner:

Salad with organic tomatoes & ranch dressing. Brussels Sprouts & Potato stew along with 1 slice of cheese pizza topped with nutritional yeast.

I also drank LOTS of water. Because of my busy schedule this past weekend, I have been neglecting to hydrate myself properly. Going to have to fix that as my skin is suffering from lack of water.

Lots of photos to upload, so I’m going to do a quick recap of my weekend. Enjoy!

Friday Night

Old ancient computer was put back to work.

Fun fact: My husband Long built this computer himself back int 2002 and named it Mini Mordecai.

Not so Fun Fact: Our path to Golden Gate Bridge was under construction, so we couldn’t ride across it today.

It was warm and sunny = perfect cycling weather.

When we arrived back, we walked to Tofu Noodle House. I ordered that one.

My Sister and I.

Stay Tuned for her Guest Post. She will be writing about her journey to meeting her weight loss goals. It’s going to be a great story that you don’t want to miss!

I will be doing her final measurements tomorrow morning. We are both excited!

Fun fact: People used to call us twins when we were kids. We still get it sometimes today.

Saturday EVENING:

My sister and I drove to visit a friend, Soeun, for her birthday.

All three of us have birthdays in January.

That’s her beautiful baby Aveah (Pronounced “A-Vee”). He’s such an adorable baby. Very sweet.

We treated her out to Thai Basil.

PC at Heart

Whoa yesterday was a super busy day (I say err type this statement a lot!). I have loads of pictures to upload, but I am going to wait on that until later today.

I’m trying to set up Window’s Live Writer up on my desktop PC, which will make editing and uploading much faster.

Right now I’m using a Mac and Ecto isn’t working for me. It’s so slow, and the editing tools are a little prehistoric.

When I was blogging in the past, I had a PC and I LOVED WLW.

I took a year off from blogging.

Now I’m back and I’m missing the benefits of using my PC.

___________

Breakfast:

Coffee + 1/2 cinnamon raisin bagel topped with 1/2 a medium banana and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Congratulations to the 49er’s!

If you have a blog, what editing software do you use? Do you prefer Ecto or Window’s Live Writer? Other?
