HIGH FIVE FOR FRIDAY!!!

Its Good Friday, and Easter is coming.  That in itself makes it a great Friday!

Here too, is my week in review....

1.  We redid our fish tank!  We have had it for about 6 years now, but every once in a while we give it a make-over and add some new fish (to replace the ones no longer with us!)  For the next few days the boys have their chairs pulled up to the tank and they watch the action for hours!  Pretty exciting!

...better than TV...


2.  Our pellet stove!  When we bought our house, it had a pellet stove but we've never used it.  Finally a few months ago my husband figured it all out and got it going.  It is WONDERFUL.  This coming from a girl who does not like to be cold.  Ahhhh this week its been a steady 70 degrees in our house!  I'm loving it!

3.  Daffodils!!  Sure sign that Spring is here.  In Oregon, you never know what Spring will bring - often just a lotta rain!  But its still a signal that winter is wrapping up and yes, our 3 months of sunny weather are on the way!  Love too how my boys spot daffodils along our drive, getting as excited to see them as Christmas lights!

4.  YUMM Sauce.  If you live in Oregon, you know about Yumm Sauce.  From a place called Cafe Yumm.  This is the yummiest stuff ever invented.  Good on a Yumm bowl (quinoa, beans, veggies all mixed together) as well a thousands of other things.  YUMMY!

5.  TABATA.  Have you heard of it yet?  The 4 minute workout that is the best/hardest/craziest thing you'll ever do!  Its high intensity intervals (full squats), 20 seconds on with a 10 second rest, for 4 minutes.  I am serious.  The first time you do it, you use muscles you never know you had.  You get so sore.  No joke.  For 3 days you can't really move anything.  But boy what a good workout!  At our gym, The Box, we take a 2 week break every quarter, with no classes.  The break is almost over - we start again on Monday.  YIKES!  I have mixed feelings.  It will be good to be back at it, but I only did tabata once on my own so its gonna kick my behind!
