    Hope you feel better soon.

    My neck and shoulders tend to seize up whenever I'm not keeping my upper body mobile enough. It's been showing the last few weeks as I've increased cycling and running...and slacked off aerobics. Waving my arms around for an hour a few times a week really helps keep me looser up there.

    I wish Mr Brandi did stuff like that! He did give me a shoulder rub though.

    Day three and it still hurts. But getting better. I have been just taking it easy. No bike rides ,scooter rides, or vollyball.
    I have been cooking though. making brownies right now. Homemade brownies.
    Recipe as follows-
    1 cup butter
    1/2 pound unsweetend chocolate
    3 cups of sugar
    5 eggs
    1 tbl. vanilla
    1 1/2 cups flour
    melt butter and chocolate together, let cool
    Mix eggs and sugar till fluffy (only wooden spoon)
    Mix chocolate butter in egg mix
    add vanilla
    add flour
    put in greased 9x13 pan
    bake 375 for 40
    DO NOT OVER BAKE
    These are the best brownies I have ever had in my life. Very rich but it is a special week you know with dh turning 50 and all. I think it is a good excuse and he's not complaining!

    Nuts?

    Brandi - glad to hear you're feeling better. Angry tense muscles take a while, durn it!

    Do brownies cure migraines? I left the office with one, and still feel woozie.

    Ever put in Frangelico (sp?) and roasted chopped hazelnuts (I find putting the nuts in a heavy duty freezer bag and using a hammer works best - on the floor)? Makes really tasty brownies. Or pecan praline liquor and pecans. I pitty those allergic to nuts.

    Oh I love frangelico! And Nuts! I am trying that next time!
    I feel better today. I still have muscle pain but not nearly as bad as it was. But today we are going camping for the weekend and it is still in the upper 40's at night. Which is chilly to us here in Cali. So hopefully my shoulder will be kind to me. I have a lot of layering clothes.
