Day Off!

ok! So Today I am off of work, so I planned this relaxing day of just hanging around the house with Cooper. I woke up this morning with Adam at 4:30 AM, NOT my favorite thing to do, but since he will be gone for the next few days I figured I should do it. I even made him a lunch for today while he is doing Land Nav-which, by the way he called earlier to say he passed with a 100. This Land Nav course is the one that 70-80% of the guys have to re-do, and re-dos are on Saturday mornings so we try to avoid those! ; ) I am super proud of my Marine! :)

I actually decided yesterday that I would go to the gym today also. I am getting tired of spin biking everyday in my basement so I decided I'd go for a treadmill run-which I HATE, but I need a change of scenery. I am planning to go to the gym every day this week for that very reason. Hopefully, it will re energize me to exercise every day. It makes you feel so much better! So, I got out of my comfy pjs and put on my cold running gear with extra warm layers over to walk from the car to the gym entrance. I CAN NOT wait for it to warm up out here! I got into the gym and thought , ok I will just do 30 minutes since I haven't run in a while. Well, let me tell you that spin biking is nothing compared to running, don't get me wrong spin biking provides its own tired feelings but running is COMPLETELY different, and I had forgotten. I only got to 3.9 miles in the 30 minutes first of all, and to make matters worse I was SOOO out of breath it was unreal. My face was soo red, I looked like all the blood in my body was in my head. I just can not wait for it to warm up outside and get REALLY, STICKY hot. That is when I LOVE to run! When I walk outside and can feel the heavy humidity-its just great!! It energizes me-assuming I have some H2O nearby ; )

So, after my morning run I came home and got ready for my dentist appointment. I really love the dentist, the office, the people everything about it is great! The Inauguration was on while I was in the chair so I was forced to watch a portion of it. I will always remember that while I was getting my teeth cleaned, the inauguration was on. Funny fact. So, to my surprise the one cavity I have, that has been filled twice because apparently it is in a hard to reach spot-has to be filled yet AGAIN! (refer to picture-third molar) ughhhhh....I hate having that needle stuck in my gums, If it weren't for that it wouldn't be soo bad. But, since this dentist is like WAYYY advanced maybe they'll have some new technique that will be better. I hope! I am going to hope that they do!

While Katie was here she was talking about how she wanted to make a Tiramisu, when we went to Cheesecake Factory, she got Tiramisu cheesecake and it was YUMMY, so it made me want some too! So, here I go to the grocery store to test out a recipe for her. Maybe she will make it for her Birthday if it is good!

Ingredients:

Sugar, Cool Whip, Vanilla Extract, Coffee, Ricotta Cheese (?weird, I know?) oh and of course Lady Fingers Here are the Lady Fingers with the coffee on them

Layer #2

OK, Here it is Katie it looks super yummy and now it just has to refrigerate for 4 hours!! I will have to wait to eat some! I will let you know how it turns out though

So, now I just have to add this little picture in here of Coop, while I was making my dessert. This is what he does 80% of the day. He's just a little cuddlebug!
