It's a holiday in California - Cesar Chavez day. Since I'm a guv'mint worker I get the day off. Which means I work twice as hard tomorrow to cram 16 hours of work into 8....

Yep, she is a weimaraner. She has long toes because she is trying to grow opposable thumbs Actually, she is perfect in every respect with the exception of allowing us to cut her toenails. We have tried everything short of taking her to the vet (well, we actually had them try, too) and knocking her out.

Enjoy the holiday.

I signed up for a months worth of spin classes because the century that I plan on doing is only 9 weeks away. It is cold, snowing, and blowing, so I can't attack the training schedule.

Wish me luck tonight!

What is for dinner tonight? I think a chicken pot pie sounds good - homemade. Who's cooking and what time do we come over?

You guys all actually cook a lot, huh? I did more when I was married and not working, and I kinda miss the relaxation of cooking with some time to do it.

But, I know a lot of you work, and train, and seem to cook...I just find it a challenge.

I have today off, technically is it my "saturday".
Lunch was a breeze today, we had pizza last night at work, after all it was Doctors day, so I bought pizza for the unofficial party that we threw. And as luck would have it, you buy enough pizza, you get leftovers. SO leftover pizza today for lunch..my favorite too. white garlic cheese pizza with green olives and pepperoni...also bought a spinach, ricotta and artichoke pizza too. The white pizza I think wins hands down all the time. And the doc's wife brought us cake, one girl brought in homemade cookies and chocolate. And the coffee pot was filled and fresh all day..
Tonights dinner is going to be pork chops, stuffing and mashed potatoes and sour cream. Dessert will be either the PB cookies left over from last week, or a zinger. Remember those little treats?
I prefer brownie crusts..centers are ok, but give me a crunchy edge piece any day.
And as some of you shudder, yesterday I placed an order at Performance for some new tires. Price is right and it was double points weekend. The biking shopping season has started. OK, so it goes on all the time, but it's spring time, shouldn't that be the official start of bike accessory shopping? I need an excuse to justify my indulgence in biking attire and accessories..
oh, and i love my new kitchen aid mixer
my flight of ideas to add to this thread are thru..

I love to cook, although it does become a challenge not to repeat myself every week, meal-wise. If I didn't cook, the 80 yo parents would eat nothing but fast food, frozen dinners and a lovely variety of crap.

Flybye - have you seen the Peticure? I'm tempted to buy one, but I'm afraid it would be another failure in the toenail department.

Oh, and the spin classes will help. A few years ago I took a months worth of classes, it helped me immensely.

I think tonight will be vegetarian night, so perhaps polenta lasagna?

It's Cesar Romero day here.

I take it back. I did cook all the time for my folks when they were still alive. Wonder why I blocked that out?

Anyhow, moving soon to a house a lot closer to work. Maybe I will cook more.

a lovely variety of crap.

OK, OK. I was in the store last night, and along with my usual lovely variety of crap I picked up some actual items to cook. I am pulling out the crock pot this morning. We will see if it cooks something for me by the time I get home tonight.

Now, back to the much more entertaining world of spouse pics. Brandi, there is something Dennis Quaid-ish about your DH, around the mouth. That is very different from: he has a pretty mouth...
