Quiet Saturday

It was a beautiful morning, so I took B to the trail park, and we walked hard for about 40 minutes. I had to carry him for part of the way, because he started to lag so far behind, and he just stopped at one point. But after I carried him for awhile, he seemed to bounce back and was able to finish the walk.

Then it rained pretty hard, and now it's nice again. As they say, if you don't like the weather here in the PNW, just wait…it will change.


Since hub has been sick, I've been trying to find things that he can eat that contain a lot of Vitamin C. So as I was wandering around the Safeway Thursday night, I bought a box of Cuties Clementines. Now, I honestly don't enjoy eating fruit normally …it just doesn't appeal to me...but I do try to eat 2 pieces a day just because I know I'm supposed to... because it's healthy. But when I tasted one of the clementines...Wow, talk about delicious! They are now my new favorite fruit. And low in calories too.

I also just ran across a website called Caloriecount. It's kind of cool…you can put in everything you eat. They have a large database of foods, including a lot of brand name foods. You can also put in all your activities, and it will track it for you as well as keep a running tally of calories burned just based on your BMR. So you can compare your calorie intake vs. your output.

Right now we're watching the Men's curling match for the Gold Medal. Again, I'm rooting for Canada. Except one of the guys from the Norway team, the one that throws the rock, is pretty freaking cute. He looks like a model. Hub says he thinks the guy's lips are too thin, but I think he's just jealous.

Anyway, nothing very exciting here. We're gonna watch a pay-per-view movie tonight, since we still can't go anywhere because I'm sure hub is still very contagious. He still has a fever of about 100 degrees. Needless to say I'm using a lot of hand sanitizer and crossing my fingers that I don't get what he has.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Be sure to wash your hands!

  1. I like the calorie count site too! The last time I bought the bag called Cuties, I was surprised to find that they weren't clementines, but actually mandarin oranges. I wonder if there is an availability problem here! I just assumed that "Cuties" were going to be clementines. They were OK, but not as good as clementines.

  3. Cute in curling, did you see the Canadian curler, Morrison. Can't remember his first name at the moment. You should google his pic... OMG such pretty eyes! Stepping away from the computer to catch the drool sliding down my chin.
