Anxiety - we all feel it to an extent

Superbowl Champs

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Superbowl this past weekend against the New England Patriots. 
This is the first Superbowl win for Philly.  Great job guys. It was a great game.  Very enjoyable.

Twin 1's Superbowl Bets

There are some New England fans in Twin 1's office and every year she is making bets on the Superbowl.  Here are this years bets with 3 gents.

Gent 1  – NE wins he gets 6 chocolate dip donuts,  PH wins I get 4 chocolate bars

 

Gent 2 – NE wins he gets 12 pb cups ,  PH wins I get his wife's macaroon cookies (so good!!!)

 

Gent 3 – yesterday it was $5 but today he comes over and days “so I hear you sometimes do bets with PB cups”.  I asked him if he would like to change the bet.  He said well then I would have to make you some if I lost and I can’t bake.  I said how about then if NE wins you get 12 pb cups and if PH wins then I get $5. 

 

The bets are all shook on.

 

I told them I won’t be here Monday as I’ll be home making PB cups.

 

They said if NE loses they will all be taking personal days on Monday and wont be here either.

CND Vinylux Review

CND Vinylux is a polish we learned about at our hair salon.  The bottle said it will last 7 days.  Every time we put on polish it starts to chip off in a few days so Sister Wi bought the Denim colour polish and the top coat that goes with it (because apparently the top coat was what made it last for 7 days).  Twin 1 decided to try it and followed the directions closely to see if this actually stays on for 7 days.  

The first step was to apply 2 coats of the colour you want (Denim blue).  It went on very thick and smooth.  She waited to make sure it was dry before putting on the 2nd coat.  Then when that was good and dry she finished it off with the Top coat.  Again, very nice, smooth and thick when applied.  It was a very pretty color and next was to wait 7 days to see the final outcome.

7 days later

As you can see there was some chipping on some fingers.  So, it did not "last" for 7 days.  Although it didn't last like we had anticipated, it did last longer then a normal polish without a top coat but I think any nail polish and regular top coat lasts just as long.

Very pretty colors but for $10 a bottle not sure we'd pay the money for that particular brand of polish.

Cheese & Bacon Pull-Apart Review

Twin 2 was on the hunt for a pizza for her husband at Costco one day.  They didn't have any made but she found this Cheese & Bacon Pull-Apart, which she assumed would be as tasty as pizza. 

WRONG!  While it looks like a tasty pizza bread and the first bite was good, the aftertaste was not.  We think the problem is it's not real cheese that is used.  It's a powdered kinda cheese and tastes like the fake nacho cheese that you'll get a hockey game or something at the concession stands.  We ended up throwing at least half of it out.  This will not be bought again and we give it a big thumbs down.  It was quite a disappointment. 

We Can All Work On This

2017 Gambles

If you can recall last year on New Year's Eve we got together with our husbands and made monetary bets (because our bucket list wasn't enough and we LOVE gambling!).  Here's how we fared out:

Bet #1: Every 5k Twin 2 bikes/run/walks with hubby, hubby will place in trust for Twin 2 $1  (Hoping that will be at least $365 at the end of the year lol). - Grand Total of $103

Bet #2: Twin 1's hubby will give Twin 1 & Twin 2 $100 each if she reaches 2017 km in 2017 by biking or running (yes, we're trying this again). - NEGATIVE

Bet #3: Twin 1 will pay her hubby $100 if he weighs 185 lbs or less at 8 pm on December 31, 2017. - NEGATIVE

Bet #4: Twin 1's hubby will give Twin 2 $10 from every pay and Twin 2 will match it on December 31, 2017. - Grand Total of $100.

2/4.  Not bad.

How Did We Do?

2017 Bucket List Recap

Every year we like to look at our yearly goals/bucket list to see what we actually accomplished.  

1. Bike to Chester - NO
2. Wear leggings/dress - NO
3. Buy a foam roller - Yes, Twin 1 received one from a friend...maybe this year the goal will be to actually use it more than a handful of times.  Twin 2 bought the roller ball massager which she still hasn't reviewed on here for you. 
4. Finish JM 90 Day Body Revolution by mid February - So close but no cigar however, we did complete a three month strength training program in the spring, so it is possible.
5. Bike/walk the Salt Marsh trail - Yes, with compliments of CF suggesting we do one of our Saturday morning 5k run out there.  We plan to go back to see more.
6. Run another 10k - NO
7. Check out the Designer Outlet in Bayers Lake - NO - its just around the corner but we can't seem to "find the time" to go LOL
8. Run in shorts/sports bra (probably not at same time) in summer - NO
9. Finish reading Hillary Clinton's book "Hard Choices.  The book was an impulse buy 2 years ago and it's voluminous - NO 
10.Bike to work (Twin 1) - Yes, once Twin 1 gave up her car she was biking to work in the fall until it turned cold.
11. Do 1 unassisted pull up (Twin 1) - NO
12. Bike 2017 km in 2017 - NO

  3/12. We're terrible.
