Friday Confessions 7.13.12
I confess....that last Saturday, I ran the Coon Dog Day 5K, just barely. It was hot, and I wasn't ready for the race, and I did not like it. But, I hung out with friends, and at least burned some calories.
A few hours after the race I was content to float down the river on a tube, and I confess that I really love tubing. It was a perfect day. I didn't see any snakes (didn't look for any), and stayed in the middle of the river. I go into panic attack mode when I get too close to the bank. All I can do then is go in circles, like a freakin' idiot. But, I mastered the art of staying in the middle this year. Of course, having a really nifty paddle helps! The next day though, Sunday, I was really sore - from running and paddling! But it was the best kind of sore.
I found out about a new sports watch that may hit the market this spring. I blogged about it this week, and you can check that out here. The watch has a very cool safety feature, and is lighter and sleeker than other GPS watches on the market. I confess that I pledged to back them, and would love to see them get all the funding they need. They have a Kickstart campaign going until July 14.
Hubby and I celebrated 18 years of marriage this week. I confess that I still find it hard to believe that we have been married that long! After we agreed (I thought) to just have a meal out together, he sent me roses - the card read "I believe in miracles since you came along".
We made Sugar-Free Flourless Peanut Butter cookies in our baking group this week. I'm try to eat lower carb right now, and I thought this might be a tasty treat. With the key ingredients missing (sugar & flour) I should have known they would be NASTY. They weren't just nasty - they were gross. And I confess that I served them to all my residents anyway,and offered them to staff too - without telling them that I thought they were horrible. I don't know why I keep trying with Splenda. I don't like it, and never will.

Tubing looks like such fun. We don't have rivers big enough to tube in our here, at lest not ones close enough to make it worth while.
ReplyDeleteI love tubing - if you ever get the chance - it's worth it. Especially on a really hot day! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteFloating down a river in a tube sounds like SO much fun!! I would love to try it sometime!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! What a sweet note to get after your first date...no wonder you've stayed with him for 18 years! :)
Tubing is so relaxing - I hope you get to try it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow, 18 years; nice! I would love to go tubing. That would be great in this heat.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of our 18 years! Thanks for reading my blog!
DeleteI first tubed in college - back in the late 80's. That makes me feel old. It is very relaxing - and fun, especially when you hit some nice "rapids".
ReplyDeleteWe've been talking about going tubing all summer. I guess we should just make it happen.
ReplyDeleteThe card from your husband is too sweet!
What a fun post.
ReplyDeleteTubing looks like so much fun! I haven't done it in years and now I so want to.
ReplyDeleteI do think Splenda has an awful after taste.
ReplyDeleteI haven't found any recipe that can hide that fact.
