Team Peeta or Team Gale?

The Hunger Games

I thought it was a great book. I know it's been a hot read for everyone but it took a while to work it's way to the top of my TBR list.

WOW! That's all I can say.

And if you've read about Katniss, Prim, Peeta and Gale, which team are you on?

Team Peeta

or

Team Gale

It's a tough choice for me. Like between Chocolate Ice cream or Coffee Almond Fudge. They are both yummilicious in their own way. I think I'd have to say I choose...

both

Okay, I know you're not supposed to be able to have your cake and eat it too. But, I say throw caution to the wind. Have both and enjoy for them for their distinctive differences;)

No, not really. But, it's a super tough choice. I guess I'll just have to move on to Catching Fire and then MockingJay.

So, if you've read the book(s), which team are you: Team Gale or Team Peeta?

SOMETIMES I SUCKETH

I gained 3.6 pounds from Christmas to New Year's. I was running and trying to watch what I ate. I guess I wasn't watching it well enough, OR maybe too well, at least when it went from the table to my fork and straight into my mouth.

But, I'm trying not to beat myself up about it---too much. It's hard during the holidays to stay on track...ing. I'm working on it though and I hope I'll have better news next week.

How 'bout you, did you gain any weight over the past week of festivities? You know, misery loves a little company :(

Pigeons Galore

I know a lot of people who raise birds in the city. A lot of people have chickens so they can gather organic eggs. But, I also know some people who raise pigeons.



Aren't these birds beauties?

A Veritable Smorgasbord

A Veritable Smorgasbord is a typical Danish meal. And, we celebrated over the holiday with a family feast. (Smørrebord in Danish)

We ate so much I gained over 3 and 1/2 pounds in one week. And believe me, it was easy to do. Just check out the spread on this table.

I tried to be selective while picking out my favorite Danish sandwiches, which always happen to be open-faced - at least in the true form of the feast. But, like I said, it wasn't so good for my die...t. :(

Friday I'll be talking about my roller coaster ride with my weight.

How 'bout you - any eating challenges you were able to overcome during the holidays?

Carrying a Little France Around With You

Cats 2011

On New Year's Day we celebrated with a little music from an old favorite.

Lars and Mackenzie played a piece together and we sat around and listened while they shared their sheet music.


How did you ring in the New Year?

Monday Movie Review - Opal Dream

Opal Dream is an Australian film, so if you like foreign films, you might like this-especially since you won't need to read subtitles. This is slow in the beginning, but the story builds and in the end it's all worth it. Not your typical Hollywood film - in some ways.

It's based on the book Pobbe and Dingan. A story about a little girl's imaginary friends who end up causing a lot of trouble for her family - especially her father.

I really enjoyed it and think you will too. So, rent it and let me know what you think.
