I don't know if I'm really going to count my weigh in for this week. I was bed ridden for almost 6 days terribly sick and really wasnt eating much and I'm sure I will put it back on this week since I'm back up and around.
The mashed cauliflower experiment went horribly wrong... so wrong that I dont know that I can ever eat regular cauliflower again lol Seriously, it was disgusting. You can ask Dave... he even looked surprised as I spit a mouthful of it in the sink. And the smell... ugh I know cooked cauliflower isn't the most pleasing of cooking smells, its on the other end of the spectrum from, say... Bacon, but dear god my kitchen stunk, which is odd because I steam the stuff all the time to eat.
Not terribly much to report for this entry, because of being sick there are no interesting hiking or walking tales to tell. The highlight of my week was actually obtaining Adam Lambert tickets, he will be performing in Charlotte, NC on my birthday. After many refreshing attempts on ticket master AND being told on the phone it was sold out (3 minutes after they went on sale) I finally got the computer to tell me there were 3 tickets. So, Dave, Amanda and I will be making the road trip up in July to see him. With all of Dave's travel he has enough reward points to get us a free room at the Crowne Plaza so thats extra cool.
This weekend is the Skunk River Bike Rally. Dan and Dave will be running the cornhole tournament while I do duties as photographer for the organizers. We are donating some of our candles as door prizes and I will have samples there at the cornhole tent, but since I didnt pay to be a vendor I wont be "selling" any (plus I will be too busy for 10 hours of the event taking pictures) but I have had some coupons printed to hand out. Hopefully I won't totally exhaust myself, but I will have Sunday to rest.
I miss walking, but until my lungs tell me its ok, exertion is the last thing I need right now :(
Oh... and I've decided I want to figure out how one grows black peppercorns

Rainy Days & Mondays & weigh ins always get me down

I know, I know... We havent gained, I should be jumping for joy :) Last week was difficult, between Dave's neck pain, my hand pain and post funeral things to do, we didn't get to walk at all.
Dave got a semi workout yesterday, his parents got some new furniture and gifted us their old (well, not "old" its less than 4 years old) couch and loveseat, which was awesome since our couch broke and the cats had killed the upholstery on the loveseat. He went to his parents to load up and he and his dad bright it back and he had to move the old stuff down to the basement.. so he did a lot more than I did.
Saturday and Sunday I got to indulge in one of my favorite past times.... watching the Food Network. Dave and I both agreed Giada was rocking the cleavage on her Mother's Day episode.
We haven't had red meat in about 3 weeks, and we were both really wanting steak, so last night I made filet mignon with béarnaise sauce, baked potatoes, and baked garlic shrimp. I am very proud of my picky eater of a husband, not only did he TRY the béarnaise, he really liked it!! Those of you that know Dave know that's pretty amazing.
We enjoyed our dinner and settled down to watch Julie & Julia (to round out our weekend of food tv) and both of us loved it. If I had to break it down, I would have to say I enjoyed the Julia parts more than the Julie (although Dave and I both adore Amy Adams), Meryl Streep was just too funny. I am going to need to find a biography on her and read it.
Sometime this week I will be attempting to make mashed "potatoes" out of cauliflower, Dave has agreed to try it even though he hates the stuff so I can't wait to see how that goes!!
Today is a really really really rainy day, flash flood watches everywhere, so I doubt we'll be walking tonite, and we already have plans tomorrow night, so it looks like at least Wednesday before walking resumes....
On an upbeat note, the conclusion of the Doctor Who 2 parter with River Song was awesome... Stephen Moffat is subtly throwing things in that will culminate in the finale in June (I HATE that a British TV season is only 13 episodes long). Sad thing is, the US is 2 episodes behind what the UK is showing so I really don't have anyone but Dave to speculate with since we are watching them ahead of BBCA, totally frustrating!!!
