The weekend, as many weekends, was less than spectacular, but much needed. This particular busy season of employee benefit plan audits, while not the worst, has been pretty challenging. The business of these audits is high volume and low dollar, much like a personal tax return. There are a lot of components to manage and stay on top of, so needless to say, weekends, when I don't work, are a think to look forward too.
This particular weekend I have decided to finally once again re-engage in working out and worked out both Saturday and Sunday. I'd say the highlight of this weekend was today. My best friend, Chad (see picture) and I went to Williams Sonoma this morning for a baking class. The class was supposed to demystify the secrets of baking great cookies. Well, Williams Sonoma is a great store with lots of cool thngs to buy, but this morning, the person in charge of the presentation was not well prepared, and in my opinion, really just gave us lessons in how to ice a sugar cookie. She had pre-made the dough that she rolled out and didn't tell us any of the products that were actually sold at the store. At the end of the presentation, she asked if there were any questions, and so I asked, "So how do we make the cookie dough?" She told us to follow the recipe! Can you believe that? Wow! Anyway =)
After the cooking class, Chad and I went up to Palo Alto to go to the Stanford Shopping Center and we ate lunch at P.F. Changs up there. There were so many really cool things to buy, but I withheld for two reasons (1) I need to save and (2) I want to lose weight before buying anything new. By the way, WE NEED TO RESTART THE BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE!! The rest of the day was nothing of interest, T.V., reading your blogs, watching some stuff I had recorded and making my dinner (Chicken Florentine that I baked in the oven---yay for me--and coleslaw)
I hope all is well with each of you and thanks for the comments on my blogs so far. I'll start adding comments
Sounds like you had more fun than we did this weekend. We looked in vain for a car and then tried to wrestle with a tired and cranky James at church. Super fun! Our highlight was the 2 hour nap that we had after church and going to the park across the street after our nap to catch the lovely weather and let James get his wiggles out before bed. He likes to go to the rock path and try to eat the rocks when he thinks we aren't watching. Silly kid.
ReplyDeleteway to go on starting your own blog, I am so excited to see what is happening in your neck of the woods. It sounds like you are gung ho about losing weight, but starting the whole "biggest loser" think is a crock of crap. Who is to say anyone will continue it this time and who is to say that any one will pay up??? Yes I am a little bitter if you can't tell (HA HA) I won fair and square and got JACK CRAP!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove to you all.
Good to see you too are blogging now, I really am glad to get of glimpse of the life of Trevor! I too would love to restart the Biggest Loser. Mary really was the only one of us to really stick with it the first time around, she should get something for her effort! But I need something to keep me motivated, so if your in, I'm in!
