February is almost over!

First I saw this ad and I thought it was a misprint as it reads "Ground Beef Chub", but apparently that is the tube of meat and it wasn't supposed to be "Ground Beef Chuck" like I originally thought. Still makes me giggle. Chub. bah ha ha ha
Second, I like to buy stuff from amazon.com, because it is so dang convenient. So the other day, I bought some mixing bowls, a spatula and a silicon basting brush. My shipment came in two boxes and since one of the boxes contained everything but the brush, I decided to document me opening the other box, because frankly, it was a GIANT box (in fact a bigger box than what held everything else).

Here is said box unopened.
Here is the packing paper.
Here is Nova sniffing the packing paper for scale.
And finally, here is what was in the box. I love amazon, but come on! they couldn't find a smaller box?? Good thing I got free shipping (I love the super saver shipping!)
And finally, I have added a picture in my side bar of the Bike-A-Thon 2009 tracking sheet. I think I will update it every Friday or so, but as you all can see, I AM CURRENTLY IN THE LEAD! It is not a big enough lead to be comfortable, but it is making for a more exciting 'thon!!

Classes

I am thinking I will take another PE type class for the next session of Community Ed. The only questions is which class...

My options are 1. Pilates & 2. Body Conditioning/Weight Training.

1. Pilates - I am currently in it, and it is a good class. But theoretically I could now do it at home, but will I? Pilates is also once a week from 8-9p for 6 weeks.

2. Body Conditioning/Weight Training - I currently lift weights 1-2 times a week, but don't really know what to do, so just copy people in the room. BC/WT is TWICE a week from 6-7p for 10 weeks (may have a week or two off, I don't know). And the cost is $5 more than Pilates (but it does have more classes).

What do you all think? (You know all 5 of my readers) Pilates or BC/WT??? Post it in the comments, because the poll I made would not work. : (

Oh and there is always the control option, which in this case would be not to take any class and just sit on my couch and watch tv on the night(s) I would be exercising.

Updates

As the world knows, I kennel Nova at night. Well, I always felt a little bad about it, BUT I know now she is okay with it. Last week, I stayed up WAY too late baking and when I looked around to find Nova, I couldn't. Until, I looked in her kennel and VICTORY!!


She also went in there the other morning when she got scared of the blow dryer, so now I know she is okay with being kenneled and I no longer have to feel guilty about locking her in every night.

And here is what I was baking.... one ugly king cake! But it actually turned out better than I expected and was devoured completely.

Back to missing pets...
Friday I came home and could not find KPP. I looked under the couch, under the bed, in between the covers, in all the closets, behind the washer and dryer, behind the fridge and in the office. And after all those places had found to be empty TWICE, I started to freak out a little, but then I remembered that she has been a fan of opening doors and drawers, so I started searching in cupboards... AFTER I looked in all of them, I looked up and noticed there was still one cupboard left, above the fridge...
And sure enough, there she was, comfortably napping on my cookie cutters.

I included this picture, because you can see her tongue.
And my final installment...I went down to Provo yesterday and met up with Darth Maul and Stone Cold Steve Austin (posing as a construction worker). It was quite strange.
Then they had to pose with my Dad, to see if there was any resemblance. Darth Maul is blocking SCSA, but let me tell you, there is some resemblance.
Well, that is all for now blogging world, until next time.
