Some thoughts and discussions from me.

Good morning!

I don’t have too much time to write up a post this morning – I’m on my way out the door to teach a core class. But I do have a couple things I’d like to share with you (quite literally!)

First – some birthday recapping. The day was great, thanks to Shane being such a sweetheart, calls, tweets, and texts (and comments from you all!!) from friends and loved ones. Instead of a long recap – let’s take a short cut with a collage recap, shall we? Open-mouthed smile

1. Bible reading and Niko cuddling right when waking up

2. Cards and gifts when waking up

3. Card from Shane (the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, etc. is a running joke between us and Wheel of Fortune [Pat: who’s in the audience with you today? Contestant: My BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL WIFE!!  – I told him if he ever gets on Wheel, then he needs to use 5 “beautiful”’s haha)

4. GIFT!!!!!

5. Breakfast of two eggs, toast, and kraut

6. Coffee in the mug my dad gave me

7. Mid-morning yoga and Coconut H2O

8. Post-yoga bliss face

9. Mid-afternoon Niko walk on a gorgeous day

10. Beers out at Shine after teaching/training all day

11. Dinner out – Ruby trout over pesto roasted potatoes, with a side of coconut sauteed kale

12. Dessert out – Ice cream sandwich made a coconut/nut/date crust and coconut milk ice cream

A great day indeed Smile

Thank you guys, too, for the lovely birthday comments on yesterday’s post. To show my appreciation, how about a giveaway?

Ya’ll know I love my popchips. I’ve already waxed poetically about them in this post. But my all time favorite flavor (well, maybe tied with sweet potato) is – Katy’s Kettle Corn. A little sweet, a little salty, a LOT yummy. They’re Shane’s favorite, too.
