Wha'd Up Wednesday

Our birthday was last Thursday and we got a few things.  At this age we basically get whatever we want when we want it as we are making our own money but we each did get a few things.  

Twin 1 got some cash, Tim's card, Starbucks card, chocolate bar, box of Charleson Chews and her co-workers took her for a Sundae at lunch.

 Her hubby took her to Swiss Chalet Saturday when he got home from being away along with a Starbucks Gift card.  Her in-laws came over for a BBQ and gave her some shirts and made her this ice cream cake they roasted marshmallows over.

Twin 2 got some cash, golf balls, a biking shirt (pretty cool.  Has pockets in the back for convenient reach around while on the bike).  She was treated to a nice breakfast in Mtl with her traveling buddy and lunch with a few co-workers.  Her hubby had a little personal size cake waiting for her when she got home from Mtl and cooked her supper.

This coming weekend Twin 2 will host her annual Birthday BBQ Bash. We have six July birthdays in our immediate group so every summer in July we all get together and celebrate together.  Should be a good time.   

Tip Tuesday

Go soft.  To avoid shin splints, get off the pavement for a few days and run on a cross-country course or unpaved bike paths.

Motivational Monday

Meal Plan Example

Warning these meals may become repetitive as I like to penny pinch and instead of buying everything for every meal I buy lots of one and have the meal a few times to use it all up before it goes bad as we are eating "fresh" now.
