I was considering digging out my pepper spray to take with me on jogs.  (While off the wagon I’ve started enjoying this.)  My boyfriend said “why don’t you just take duke?”

Meet Duke, my 65 pound pit bull/bulldog mix:

I was thinking this would be a nice,  safe way to run.  WHAT WAS I THINKING???  About half mile from home, Duke seemed distracted.  I looked back to find this little fuzzy black and white dog who couldn’t weigh more than 5 pounds following us and sniffing Duke’s butt.  I ran another hundred yards or so and looked back to see that the dog was still there as well as a yorkie and their apparent mom in her PJs.  This gave me quite a chuckle as I turned around to return the pack to their owner and continue on my run.   Once back on track, I barely make it out of eyesight before twisting my ankle!  (I’m fine).  With my new Duke-enhanced balance skills, next thing I know I’m laying on the road with red marks on both hands and my right arm and hip!  And of course my first response was to look around to make sure no one saw me!

Not knowing if my ankle would feel better or worse, I started back toward home.  When I got there, I felt pretty good and kept going past my house with Duke.  It’s a bit secluded in that direction, but was beautiful with the leaves starting to turn.  Until Duke pulled me off the road and into the woods (and almost a ditch) chasing a squirrel!  After regaining my balance SUCCESSFULLY that time, I kept going with a chuckle and the satisfaction that I could ice my ankle later and that I got in almost 2 miles.  I was richly rewarded when I saw a house at the end of my road proudly flying a flag with a picture of a Pirate on it stating “Surrender your Booty”.  Despite the road rash, one of my favorite runs so far!  I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Now, I don’t suppose it’s good to rehydrate with a margarita…

Hey everyone!!!

I want to let you all in on a little secret…..I am still 13 trapped in a 33 year old body…..LOL So – naturally- Halloween happens to be one of my favorite times of the year! Costumes, gatherings, fall weather, scary movies and HAUNTED HOUSES!!! Together with my good friend Melissa, we have compiled a list of local Haunted Hayrides, corn mazes, and Haunted Houses for your enjoyment!!!

Blood Manor – NYC -www.Bloodmanor.com – I went last year…..it was fun…..we went out for a nice dinner with friends, then walked through the city to get there…..it was a bout a 20-30 minute wait to get inside, but there were all sorts of creepy monsters to keep you entertained. It was fun- but not so scary…..

Haunted Hayride and Corn maze -New Paltz NY – www.headlesshorseman.com -I am going here this year……reservations for Oct 12…..review to be posted…..

The Bates Motel – PA – about 2.5 hr drive…..rumor has it– this is a good one….http://www.thebatesmotel.com

Bayville Scream Park – Bayville Long Island – Location is easy, on Long Island, beautiful – on the beach….I am going on Oct 17 – http://www.bayvillescreampark.com

Another NYC one……I may or may not make it here this year……I need to keep some fun for next year!!!

Happy Monday!!

So this past weekend- I went out – and really explored some fun activities around the NY area – many of which are available worldwide! I wanted to tell you all about my experiences and hope you find the time and energy to go and enjoy the splendors of life!!! These activities are great for all ages- and can be enjoyed as a trip with friends or the whole family!

Ok- so first – on Saturday – I took a paddleboarding lesson! It was AWESOME! We paddled for about 2.5 hours in a pond/lake in the Hamptons LI – what an amazing expereince! You get to stand on a large surfboard and paddle around….when we got tired, we layed on the boards and took in the rays…..we also paddled on our knees for a while…..really so much more fun then Kayaking – as you are much closer to the water. We took the lessons and then rented the boards for an additional 2 hours from Surf Hampton 631 283 8243.

SAILING NYC:

Then on Sunday night- I went sailing around NYC for 2 hours on a classic sailboat – about 20-30 people on board. Champane was included as we watched the sun set behond the Statue of Liberty. The sail was $50 and left from Chelsea Piers. Another awesome way to experience NYC…..meet new friends, relax and take a staycation…..

FINALLY -

Kandi’s Frittata!!!
A few weeks ago I was visiting my good friend and she invited me for breakfast……she happens to be my idol with respect to being an awesome MOM and housewife (as well as many other things….). This is a version of what she made! It was awesome!!! I HAD to share it with you!!!

In glass corningware dish- I use a medium rectangle dish – coat pan with olive oil cooking spray. Then cover the bottom of the pan with a think layer of shredded potatoes or sweet potatoes (for speed I use Simply Potatoes), then add a layer of any ingredients you wish……(last week I did sauteed basil, onions, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, parmesean cheese, and brocoli) [today I will add sauteed portobella mushrooms, onions, spinach and asparagus with parmesean cheese] then top with 18-24 egg whites and shredded cheese. Then bake on 350 for about 30 minutes until set and slightly browning on top. Enjoy!!!

Could it be true? Someone forwarded me an email making this claim….it was a reputable source too- so I was forced to inquire……and read on. What I found was amazing! YES it is TRUE! One ingredient ice cream- with NO artificial flavors, additives, dairy etc! MADE OUT OF FROZEN BANANAS! I read it – comprehended it- but still did NOT believe it…..how could this be? Soft serve frozen ice cream?

Take a look at this pic….

then eat clean and workout like I already do look like my minds picture of me.  Pearls of wisdom from Becky.  Words to live by. Think of myself as worthy of good health and fitness.  Thanks Becky for everything.
