Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
I read an article in the NY times about HIIT interval training but it also mentioned how people who have rest days show more progress, scientifically measured down to muscle fibers etc.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we need to incorporate them more for sure. Apparently one day a week isn't cutting it.
DeleteGlad you have at least a smidge. We'll take that. I think we do need to incorporate rest more often. We rarely give our bodies enough time to heal after the impacts so this should be a good week for us and should be something we practice a bit more often.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that smidge might've rescinded a bit after doing that side lift and my feet were at that weird angle. So back to ultrasound and massage today. I've gotta try to get that spot in my arch to release. Stupid ass foot. If you'd told me I'd be this young and feeling so damn old, I wouldn't have believed you. :-\
DeleteI hope you get your foot issues worked out in time for your vacation.
ReplyDeleteBurgers last night. Trying to think of something for tonight. We don't really have much in the way of "vacation" spots - we get away for a weekend here and there, but hubby doesn't get much time off and if he uses a day here and there it really eats into it so we kind of have to make do with little mini-vacations. My favorite place is a little lake up in the mountains - we get a cabin and everyone else fishes and I read and look at the scenery. Something about all the green (instead of the dry, brown here) is just so soothing to me.
Mmm, burgers. That mountain retreat sounds like a good deal. It's good to be surrounded by green and get in that fresh mountain air!
DeleteI need a vacation too, yo! After all your posts about Hawaii, we've been thinking about going. Hopefully this year? Maybe? :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't getting a new mattress so fun? I bet you will sleep like a baby!
We had chili last night and I gotta say, I just love it with green onions. I use them in most of my crock pot dishes at the end and it really adds such a nice flavor and texture. My favorite place in the whole world is the NorthWoods of Wisconsin. I've been to Europe and on cruises and nothing compares to being in a lakehome for me. One of the pictures on my sp page shows a rainbow over the lake of the home we used to go to every year. I've never felt more peace than when I'm up there.
