Aside from the
fun blogger get-together on Saturday, there was a bunch of other fun things going on this weekend. Let's recap... shall we? :-)
Saturday evening we headed to Chanhassen for sleigh rides with Jason's co-workers. There was a pot luck and lots of great conversation. And, we got to ride the sleigh right at sunset so we could see the colors of the sky and the stars overhead. It was beautiful.
Sunday we slept in, had some breakfast (which was actually lunch, since it was noon!) and headed to the gym. Jason does his long runs on Sundays; I think he ran 8 miles this time. I spent half my time on the bike and half on the elliptical. It was a "great workout," the elliptical doesn't lie (even though it says that every single time!) :-)
Our walk back from the gym was beautiful. The sky was an incredible blue color. It just makes it that much harder for me to wait for spring! I love these bright winter days though... bright blue sky, shining sun, and bright white snow. Minnesota is especially beautiful on these days.
These hand drawn signs were hung up all over our apartment community. So cute! I love the
"A little lemonade will cool you down!" You can bet that I will be supporting these little entrepreneurs on the first day of summer.
Jason and I tend to play a lot of
Mario on the weekends. We have already beat the game (well, all except for one level that I HATE and we haven't been able to beat yet, so we started over.) Anywho, we play a lot, and Jason hardly ever dies (I do... a lot, but I'm ok with it.) We beat a level and went to the next and both exclaimed "where is Mario's hat?!?!" Seriously! Where did it go!? We were baffled and SURE he had a hat on prior to this level. So, Jason googled it and found out that if you have 99 lives and you complete a level, Mario looses his hat. He gets it back when he dies again. Interesting. A reward for getting 99 lives means you loose your hat? Hehe. I like it whether it makes sense or not.
Speaking of Mario, Jason has called me
Yoshi for as long as I can remember. I have no idea why, but now Yoshi is my favorite Mario character. Friday after work Jason went to Target to get a few things and brought this guy back for me. I love when he just randomly does nice things for me like this. Now this guy sits on our TV and watches us while we play Mario. :-)
I actually scrapbooked this weekend! Yesssss! I feel like it's been WAY too long. I made this cute Autograph Book which I will take with me when we go to Disney World. I love the ribbons... they are my favorite part of the whole project.
While putting together a photo album scrapbook (to be photographed and shared soon!) about our trip to Napa from last year, I turned over this Jamba Juice business card to apply adhesive and found this little note. So great. I love when meaningful phrases just smack you in the face! I mean, right there, there it was! I couldn't even ignore it! So, today, however you see fit, take Jamba Juice's advice and, "Go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is."

YOSHI IS MY FAVORITE TOO! That should not be shocking at all to you. He's always been my favorite. I'm always Yoshi when we play Mario Kart :)
1, I like that you got jason running in the background of your great workout picture.
2, I am jealous of your sleigh ride, sounds so romantic even if so many were there.
3, Your pic of the apartment looks like a post card. How much snow do you have now. (Everyone asks me)
4, can those kids possible know how long they have to wait for summer. Maybe they do a lemonade stand the day the snow starts melting
5, You know when someone does something really good you say "hat's off to you"....100 lives, Maybe Mario is just congratulating himself
6,I like the blanket Yoshi is on in the picture. Hmm, looks hand made with lots of love!
7, If you miss any Disney character autographs, give me a crayon and the book, sometimes they visit me and maybe i can hook you up (when no one is looking)
8, I am staying on the ground with the rest of the nuts!!!
love you!
