Wha'd up?

Its not Wednesday but we haven't been around lately but What'd UP?

We have been trying to start a "business" called Preparation Matters which has been taking up all our time and that is why the blog has been silent. 

Our running buddy CF made us some bday cookies and they were delish!

Pearl had a Birthday too this month and she turned 4

It was Rhubarb season and we tried out some new recipes.  The Rhubarb and pecan scones didn't stay together much so we gave up on them for now to sell. 

And here is a pic of Baby Onyx that our friend found on his phone from 5 years ago which I didn't have.

39

 

We turned 39 yesterday this is our last year before the big 4-0!

This year we are running a 10k and at 40 running a half

This year we hope to get our business going, we have it out there and started.

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Wha'd up?

Twin 1 and her posse went to High Head in Prospect on Sunday morning.  The sun was shining brightly but still chilly around the coast. 

Pearl injured Onyx while playing.  Pearl looks sweet but she is super rough and intense.  She got a little cut in the chin which bled a bit but she was fine.

☺Or should I say Tick Tuesday

Its tick season again, although I don't think they went away as it was a semi mild winter.  Twin 1 has found one so far on one of her dogs.....and yes we pulled out some hair too.... It was actually Pearl who found it on Onyx as she was sniffing at her stomach and Twin 1 went to see what Pearl was sniffing at and it was a Tick.

Twin 1 has been told the trick is to Lint Roll yourself and the dogs when you get home and if they are not imbedded yet it should pick up the ticks on the sticky roll.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER WI

Today is Sister Wi's 3.....4(?) birthday LOL While it shouldn't be too hard to keep track as she is 5 years younger than us, after we turned 35 we lost count of our age so therefore lost count of hers.  But yes, it is her 34th birthday today. 

While Mom & Dad were up last weekend we had a little party for her.  We had the honors of making her cake.  Every year growing up Mom always made her an elephant cake and that's what she requested this year so an elephant cake is what she got..the Twins version.

 Yes, that is an elephant.  Look how happy she looked when she got it!

A close up of the elephant.  Looks a little more like snuffleupagus.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER WI!  WE LOVE YOU!

Wha'd up?

I know, I know....we have been MIA.  I can't promise we are back but we are today :-)

What has been going on?  Well not too too much.  We are still running 3x's a week with our BRB (Best Running Bud) C.

We made Zucchini Lasagna.

As Asburn is closed now for dogs we have been spending more time at the lake.

ALTHOUGH last night it was flooded after all the rain.  No crossing this bridge for a few days.

Twin 1's co-worker got her nails done and they turn color when she is cold/warm.  Its pretty cool!

One of Twin 1's dog has started sucking on blankets.  What a sookie baby...but so cute.

Twin 2 is going to MEXICO in a few days!!!!

UPDATE:  We got the storm, a little later than expected.  Winter is back.

Today

Winter is still hanging around a little bit.  We were supposed to get a nor'easter last night but woke up to green grass.  Now its supposed to come today and it all depends on what weather person/station you listen to.  I guess we will see when it happens.

We've still been running when its fit.  The trails were clear and last Saturday they were some parts clear and some still snowy/icy. 

We move up to 10/1 and after a few weeks we will be moving up km's at least one run a week anyway.

Twin 1 Won

Twin 1's work was doing a Step Up to Heart Health Challenge to see who could get the most steps between Feb 14 - Feb 28 and Twin 1 Won!

She 'walked’ away with a total number of steps being 202,569!!

The other totals

- 180,209

 - 139,993

 – 131,987

 – 110,660

 – 109,359

 – 122,996

  – 99,137

The motivation was a gentleman at work came in the lunch room the very first day bragging about how he was going to win blah blah blah......yeah he was the one who only got 110,660 but good for him! 

Twin 1 would like to thank her running buddies Twin 2 and CF and also her dogs her make her get out as well. 

The prize was to be a gift card but the committee was too sick to go out and get one so she got $50 Cash!

The Oven Handle

Twin 1 asked her husband if he would fix the oven door handle as one side was very loose.  We assumed it would be easy but we had to look up on You Tube to see how it was done.

Apparently you have to take the door off the oven and all apart.

 And still 40 min later.....

But it is now fixed. 

It would have been an opportunity to clean the oven but she did not.
