Multitasking

Hope that everyone out there had a fantastic Valentine's Day. I am fortunate enough to have spent it with my Nathaniel, and our House Monster, Tabbitha. Thanks to all for your birthday well-wishes - can't say that I feel any older (yet!), but in due time, it will come. Let's face it - it'll HAVE to come, unless I'm some weird clone or something... which I can promise you that I'm not. And if I were, I probably wouldn't tell you anyways. So there. :) And now we'll never know, will we?

Ha!

That aside - thanks to everyone out there! Hope that the Tri-Bloggers Swim Challenge is going GREAT to all who started their swims today. I myself have a beast of a swim tomorrow - but its not the 40 X 100s that I was hoping to accomplish for my challenge... I'm sure that Coach Jen has something up her sleeve, though...

Overall, today was most excellent. I wish I could be "brilliant" or come up with something totally original to write about - but I can't. I am in chocolate overload, and the (not one, but) two glasses of wine that I've consumed have gone to my head. (Even though I love wine, I really don't drink much - except for on special occasions). Nathaniel made the best brownies ever... and with each batch he whipps up, they taste "muy delicioso!" (horrible spelling - sorry!)

After completing my workouts, getting a hair cut, and returning from Barnes & Noble, Nate and I settled in with our dinner, wine (for me, the poor guy has a 6 am brief, so he stuck with Diet Coke! He can't drink 12 hours before a flight), and lots of chocolate. Iron Chef, Battle Chocolate was on - and we had a great time laughing, joking, wadgering bets on the chefs, and simply spending fun time together.

(FYI: Iron Chef Cat Cora was defeated by some young whipper snapper who utilized various elements of molecular gastronomy. Yeah. Now I really feel old.)

Fantastic Valentine's Day AND birthday... and the fun just won't stop!

Sunday, I've got my race (hurrah!) - and the we're going out for Sushi! (yum). To be continued...

And I'll leave you with this: a most excellent photo of yours truly, multitasking. Please note - I have a hard enough time talking on the phone and concentrating on other things as it is... In this miraculous photo, I'm actually talking on the phone while simultaneously unwrapping a present from my Mom (who is pretty liberal with the tape). Very talented indeed.

Incredible folks. As I'm a klutz with two left feet, me + phones + any other task = certain disaster. (I've had friends who can ride their bike and talk on their phone at the same time. Yikes! I have a hard enough time driving my car and talking on the phone. The phone and bike thing would equate to a broken leg or broken bike on my part....) Anyway...we know it happened tonight... here's the proof! (And Mom and Dad: I LOVE the rugby top - thanks!)


If you looke really close, you may even catch a glimpse of The House Monster. Always lurking...

Happy Valentine's Day to You and Yours.
