Nuts

Over the course of my life I have traveled between California and Utah approximately one million times; I do not exaggerate.  Trust me I know the road.  I know where the best bathrooms are; I just don’t “go” anywhere.  I know where the (relatively speaking of course) best places to eat are.  And now I know where the best nuts are.2013-10-03 21.11.47

If I could stop eating them I would, but I can’t. They are that good!!

Plank Challenge

I’m not much on exercise.  We fight with each other like cats and dogs.  My Dil2 seems to like to exercise/run for some reason but due to health issues can’t.  She however can “Plank.”  So she invited all she knows to a 30-Day Plank Challenge; I can do that says I.  I saw the chart and thought 20 seconds a day and building to 5 minutes; I will do that.  There is even rest days in the 30 day challenge; I like that!  Then I tried it!!

Wish me luck………I’m going to need it!plank
