Something you definitely want to include in your Packinglist
So I have put the link of this website at the left side of this Blog so that you can alway's find it easily here on this site, or else you can have a look at
it directly by clicking the The Universal Packinglist link.
'BTW isn't that one of the many great reasons
to list HP's Happy Blogspot as FAVORITE
that way always being able to easily find
your Packinglist that way....?'
(You can simply list it as
favorite by clicking on the
yello Post-it memo)
And while you are at it, you can also include
a handy little Tripod in your packinglist,
because if you are on vacation with your
Digital Camera Equipment to take
beautiful Photo's, you don't alway's
want to carry a heavy Tripod with you...,
and now you don't need to with this handy little Tripod that you
can use for your Canon PowerShot Moments,
you can find here below:

Darn Monkey!
Yesterday was a sick day for me. I had a really bad RA flare up and didn’t sleep the night before and was in pain until I could get my hands on some predisone!!!! What did that mean?… my 6 day straight plan was thwarted. See Monkey insert Wrench! It’s all good now because my body had a chance to recover a little yesterday and I feel well enough to attend my Zumba class tonight…WITH slight modifications.
I am really missing my Yoga classes I think it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve attended…my flares have been in my shoulders and wrists which make it impossible to do downward facing dog and lots of other mat poses…I may have to look into some restorative classes before I return to regular classes. Booooo! But I will do what needs to be done.
Sweet hubby has also promised a dinner out at Frontera tonight…AFTER Zumba ONLY Nice incentive huh.
Does that Monkey frequently get his wrench into your plans ?

Dining Out
Today was my first official run day at the gym, and I decided to try an interval run. The one I chose was 30 minutes of running at speeds fluxuating between 6.0 and 7.0. Considering I usually run at about 5 .8 to 6.0, this was a huge self challenge! And it kicked my butt!
The 5 minute warm up at 5.5 was like my usual “run” (which I now know is really a jog) and got me energized. I actually ran at a 7.0 for the first time!! Then, at minute 18, 1.84 miles into the workout, butt was officially kicked. I slowed down to a 4.0 fast walk for 2 minutes, thinking I would be able to jump back into it after a little rest, but 2 minutes at 6.0 and then 6.5, I knew I had to stop. I was imagining my legs buckling under me and flying across the cardio area, crashing into the very large guy on the elliptical behind me. I ended up walking until minute 25, 2.34 miles total. I was disappointed that I didn’t complete my first run challenge workout, but when I realized how much I was sweating, I knew I had pushed myself. Which is part of my 3 mile goal as well
Z got a great grade on one of his final exams from last semester, so we decided to get sushi to celebrate! We went down the street to Fish Market on Brighton Avenue. There were only 2 other tables with people, but considering the place only has 3 tables and 6 – 8 seats around the sushi bar, it was a busy night for them We ordered 2 salmon cucumber rolls, 2 yellowtail cucumber rolls, and 2 spicy tuna.
Sushi is one of my all-time favorite foods, and this fish was excellent quality. I especially loved the spicy tuna:
So pretty! Some places fill the tuna up with gobs of the spicy mayo which, while delicious, completly erases any tuna flavor. At Fish Market, they put just the right amount of mayo down the side of the roll, and the tuna was only lightly spiced, making each bite a new discovery for your tastebuds! Tuna, then spice, then the coolness of cucumber — yum! I usually order more exotic things when I eat sushi (a few months ago I tried sea urchin for the first time! Yumventure indeed!) but for a cheap, quick sushi meal this was just great.
FYI to all the sushi fans out there – Fish Market does not have their liquor license yet, so no sake or Japanese beer :( They do, however, offer some delicious looking red bean ice cream, which I will definitely have to try next time.
I finally finished painting our bedroom accent wall, hoorah! Now I just have to put the decorations back up
