Good morning all and Happy Monday,
The weekend was very nice. Valentine's Day was almost perfect. We started the night at an Italian Joint in Oak Park, Ciro, that had eight seats, scratch made everything, the owner was cooking 10 feet from us, really good handmade pasta and gravy, and even better focaccia, fresh buffalo mozz, and pesto. We finished and walked outside to picturesque snow floating to a fresh 1/4" on the ground. We then went to a stand-up comedy showcase. A couple of the comedians were funny. Then back home, we took the dog to play in the snow, had a heart shaped small chocolate truffle cheesecake I made, and went to bed

I can attest that the clips make the world of difference. I think REI has TIEM cycle shoes on sale right now.

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,
We had pretty much the same weather. Cold snow rain wind, repeat. I did hit the gym 2 times. Yesterday I did my first Pilates reformer class. I liked it but at $30 a pop I can live without it. I watched a couple movies on Netflix, The founder, The stranger, and Back in Action. All good but nothing over the top. I was lead to believe the stranger was exceptional but I must have missed something.
QOTD: In Pittsburgh we go to baseball games for fireworks and free give aways. We have not had a good team since the 70's. We do have some exceptional players but they do not put money into the roster, so we end up in the bottom every year.
Accountability: I held it together I did have 2 Post Malone Oreo's all weekend. Those were my only cheats. I thought they were worth it till I read the label and saw all the poison that is in them.

Good morning, everyone!
That dinner looks great!
This week is winter taking its last big punch at us here in Chicago. I don?t think it will get much above 15 until Saturday. But next week is 30?s and 40?s and we have some travel in early March.
I had another indoor triathlon this weekend. Swam 460 meters in 10 minutes, cycled 9.27 miles in 30 minutes and ran 1.74 miles in 20 minutes. All beat my distances from January. Also, didn?t lock myself out this time, lol. I?m curious as to how much faster the lock in shoes would make my cycling.
Marilyn had a nice trip to Wisconsin, they actually spent 6 hours at the spa on Friday evening. And they won the tournament, so they qualified for nationals in San Diego later this Spring. I?m joining a different tennis nationals in Phoenix next month, so don?t think I will accompany her.
The Clawdaddies didn?t show up until Saturday night, so that will be next weekend?s project.
QOTD: I love to go to games, but don?****ch on. TV much
breakfast: bagel
lunch: catered
dinner: tenderloin
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
it was a busy weekend here. We ended up running to Sam's Saturday. They had a dozen roses for less than 5 bucks so I got some of the orangey salmon like colored one. They are so pretty and smell so good. It's better than after v-day chocolate. It made me happy.
not a lot major planned for the day. We do have to get groceries. We're supposed to be 63° today and 17° tomorrow. Not getting above freezing for at least three days. We want to get out a little as possible. My sinuses are not liking this up and down. I feel like **** in that department, it's also not good for chronic pain I might add.
QOTD: I used to but not so much now. I watched in the late 80's when I was a kid up until the big strike that soured my opinion of it all as a kid. I have met Nolan Ryan as his daughter lives here. He is a really nice guy in person and was very gracious. I couldn't tell you much about the players today.
B: eggs and coffee
L: PP shake
D: chicken with some kind of veggie
this is a bracelet I started. Have altered it a bit since but it's basically looking the same,
said roses...
Mona moo not being lucky at all.
Good Morning menu gang. The long weekend was nice. Didn't do all that much, but Friday we did have some nice sirloin steaks, white clam chowder, and a seafood boil that we found at Price Chopper. I decided I didn't want to drive to Smithfield, RI to the seafood place so we just went to the Webster Price Chopper they have a pretty decent seafood department considering it's a supermarket.
The snow/ice/rain on Sunday sucked and now the next few days are going to be very cold with high winds.
We have an internal BAU audit that starts at 9am and goes the entire week. The third party guy who does it is the uncle of the vice president of the company. No one seems to think this is an issue, but whatever. The guy is a pain in the butt and nitpicks at the smallest things. Like we have backup alarms on both of the pickup trucks we have and one wasn't as loud as the other one so he put that down as a finding. Anyway it should be a fun week.
QOTD: With Baseball season almost upon us how many of you watch it? I'm honestly not a fan of Baseball I feel like it takes forever to complete a game. I'll watch football and basketball; heck I'll even watch hockey. But I've never been able to enjoy watching baseball. I will root for the Red Sox if they are going against the Yankees in the World Series, but that's about it.
B: coffee and egg over easy with a slice of avocado and pork belly
L: ham and cheese wrap
D: baked chicken thighs
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!
