Little of This, Little of That

February 7, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hey everyone! It’s a chilly here in south Louisiana! I hope everyone had a fab weekend. Mine was busy with lots of driving. In case you need to catch up, Friday, I finally did my accent vlog. Saturday, I talked about the reality of my move which is coming up very, very soon. Yesterday I was super busy, drove back to NOLA just in time to catch most of the Superbowl, then went to bed. Sorry guys! But I am back!

Oh, also, I was featured in a guest post on Melinda’s blog! You can check it out HERE.

I DID manage to run yesterday though! Bobby and I did our first long run since Disney, and our last long run before the Mardi Gras half marathon next Sunday! It was an absolutely beautiful day! Not a cloud in the sky, about 56 degrees, absolutely gorgeous. We did 8 miles, fairly easily. It’s so funny how that doesn’t seem like a very long run to me anymore. yeah, marathon training screws you up like that.

Did everyone watch the Super Bowl? It was sad for me, because this time last year, my awesome Saints were taking home the trophy. It was such a fun night, very magical for the city of New Orleans and all Saints fans!

Here is the Super Bowl post I did last year: ‘Aints No More. 

Also, this is an e mail I got, a short video about the Saints championship season. It made me cry! VIDEO.

As sad as I was, I am glad a team from the NFC won. I am also glad a quarterback who hasn’t had the chance to win before got the win. (Sorry, I am NOT Big Ben’s biggest fan. He is a creep.)

This weekend marks a fun time for us, as we are running the Mardi Gras Rock n Roll half marathon again! We had so much fun last year, we thought we would do it again! I ran with Karen last year, and we will be running together again this year. Here are my recaps from the race and weekend from last year, go check them out! Go HERE and scroll down to “Mardi Gras half.”

One last thing, Bobby went by our new house on his way to the coast last night. It was locked, of course, but he looked in the windows and we have appliances, and the wood floors are all down! YAY! He took a couple pics of the outside as well:

of course the one pic I REALLY wanted to see, is blurry. Way to go Bobby. They still have to do the railings, the shutters, and the front door will be black.

I think that’s all the updates for now. Have a great afternoon!

QOTD: What was your favorite super bowl commercial? I liked the Doritos one!

    So excited for your house! 🙂

    Didn’t watch all the commercials, but the doritos ones were awesome, also the darth vader one.

    Love the porches–so fun!

    • Heather says

      February 7, 2011 at 12:27 pm

      thats my favorite part!

    Is the garage in the back of the house? That’s Jeff’s dream: he hates when you pull up to a house and all you see is garage. The porches are just beautiful; I love front porches. They are a rarity here; a lot of cookie cutter pre-fab houses from the 50s in these parts.

    • Heather says

      February 7, 2011 at 12:28 pm

      yes 🙂 we have an alley behind our house for the garages. the neighborhood basically forces you to put a porch on the front so you will be social with your neighbors and not hide out in your backyard which i love!

    i liked the doritos one too! i’m so jealous of your upcoming race. it’s totally on my running bucket list!

    • Heather says

    You’re house is beautiful! I bet you can’t wait to decorate. I actually didn’t see an entire commercial. We did girlie activities at the super bowl party I attended while the guys watched the game. We did however watch the half time show. 🙂

    • Heather says

      February 7, 2011 at 2:39 pm

      sounds fun!
      the halftime show was cool, but I thought the vocals were awful!

    I actually didn’t watch any of the Superbowl or commercials! When the Giants won 3 years ago, it was definitely the happiest time in my life. I’m so glad a “new” team got to win!
    The house looks great!

    • Heather says

      February 7, 2011 at 2:27 pm

    You’re house looks gorgeous! I think so blurry picture and all 🙂 I am jealous of your wood floors! I would love to have wood floors (esp in my kitchen – I love how it looks), I have all tile. in the non-bedroom areas.

    • Heather says

      February 7, 2011 at 3:15 pm

      thanks, we close the 19th! I cant wait.

    I love the porches on your house! It’s going up fast!

    I honestly didn’t pay attention to many of the Superbowl commercials, but I did watch the game! Usually it’s the other way around, but I went to a big Packers bash this year.

    • Heather says

      February 8, 2011 at 9:34 am

      thanks!
      haha my mom and I were joking, do you go to the bathroom during the commercials or the game? usually its the commercials but we didn’t want to miss any good ones!

    wait, what? is that a porch on BOTH levels!?! whoa, that is so cool! I’m wondering, is that a southern thing? i’ve never seen that before…we don’t have that here in New England. a lot of people have a big porch on the ground floor and maybe a balcony on the second floor but not another porch level. that is SO cool!!!! Most houses here are “salt boxes” or “colonials.”
    good luck at your half this weekend. I’m glad Grenn Bay won too, Ben is a TOTAL creep. Last year’s win was a big deal for us too because Ryan’s dad has been a Saints fan his whole life! have a blast this weekend!!!

    • Heather says

      February 9, 2011 at 10:17 am

      haha yes it is a southern thing, I LOVE the look. most of the houses in my new neighborhood look like that, or some variation of it. that was a requirement. the master on the 2nd floor with a door going out to the balcony!

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
