miscellany monday: how bout them browns?

 
1. Monday Schmunday and Adam's officially another year older as of yesterday!

2. We celebrated his birthday with my family on Friday night, complete with pizza and my attempt at a Boston Cream Pie (request from the birthday boy).  He loved it, I thought it was okay, although I'm not really a fan to begin with.  I'll post the recipe later today, it's fairly easy to make and if someone is a huge Boston Cream donut fan, they're bound to love this cake.  Me?  Give me ice cream cake...and a spoon.

 
3. We're both finally feeling about 90% healthwise.  Still have a lingering cough but compared to last week, we seem to be in the clear, finally.  Vicks will be sad to know that their Dayquil sales will be suddenly decreasing this week.  I'm surprised we're not immune to that stuff yet.

4. Um, THE BROWNS?  Need I say more??? I don't know where that came from, but we showed up to play...as a team...and to win.  It was a phenomenal game.  And come on, we beat the Super Bowl champs, maybe there's hope for Cleveland after all.

 
5. Speaking of Cleveland, they're talking on the radio about performing witchcraft to curse LeBron James.  Gosh, this guy outta be dreading the day he has to come play at the Qagain.  I can't even imagine how much security they're going to have just to protect him from his former fans.  He deserves it though, for his 'decision'.

6. We're planning to go on our honeymoon to Mexico in December, along with hitting up a water park with our friends in November.  AKA, I need to make Jillian Michaels my new best friend for the next month.  I just got her 30-day Shred video and so far so good.  I will say that she is without a doubt, one of the most annoying workout instructors ever.  Her voice, her demeanor.  But, that's what the mute button is for right?  Her workouts are fast and easy enough to follow without the sound, thank goodness.  Hopefully I'll see the results everyone else seems to be getting.  Of course this is highly dependent on the dog.  Try working out in sneakers in your living room with a 12lb furball attacking your legs because well, you're wearing SHOES.  You must be about to take me for a walk, right?

7. I still don't have a Halloweencostume, helppppp!  Ideas please!  What are you dressing up as this year??

I have the Shred DVD. And I agree - sometimes I want to slap Jillian through my TV screen.

Check Target for costumes. I believe they may have even clearanced them this weekend. My husband and I have zero time to think about it, so we bought Fred & Wilma Flintstone costumes at Target last week (when they were on sale, but not on clearance. Boo for bad timing.)

Hahaha Dixon does the same thing Ricki does... Shoes = Walk. No matter what else is going on, and he goes bananas. Gosh. Let me know how 30 Day Shred works for you, I've had it for months and it is still sitting, unopened, on my dvd shelf. Oops.
