FLIPpin’ Awesome Giveaway

Hey everyone! Howโ€™s your morning going?? If you enjoyed a long weekend (yeahhhhh), here on some things that went down on the bloggy:

Summer Shape Up Week 2 Workout went up!

-We planted our little garden

and

enjoyed a lovely date night

Last night, the pilot finally got the shrimp and prosciutto penne pasta heโ€™d been hankering for:

shrimp pasta

Recipe is in *this cookbook*

I rolled with spelt pasta, olive oil, garlic, basil and tomato

spelt pasta

and we both had salads with roasted beet, onion, goat cheese and balsamic

salad

A perfect little meal ๐Ÿ™‚

dinner

We chilled at the casa, I coerced the pilot to watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (best movie EVERRRR, even with his snide commentary haha) and we called it a night ๐Ÿ™‚

The plan for today is:

-3 training appointments

-Weights (upper body)

-Post office

-Clean downstairs

-Make raw strawberry tart for Thurs night girlโ€™s night

-Insanity

-Back to work

Before I goโ€ฆ

  4. sarah on June 1, 2010 at 8:32 am

    If my TV could do anything it would be to instantly transplant me back to Hawaii when I see it on the travel channel! Especially when it’s snowing in Connecticut!



  5. kirsten on June 1, 2010 at 8:33 am

    DVR would have a button to let you automatically skip commercials instead of fast forwarding through them. ๐Ÿ™‚



  6. Sarah on June 1, 2010 at 8:33 am

    Read my mind instead of using a remote ๐Ÿ™‚



  7. Dianna on June 1, 2010 at 8:35 am

    My tv would let me join in with any big musical. From Rent, Chicago, Moulin Rouge, or classics like White Christmas and Sound of Music.



  8. Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman on June 1, 2010 at 8:35 am

    Mmm…beet salad. I love beets with goat cheese.

    If my TV could do anything, I’d have it be virtual reality, so I could experience the show as if I were in it. (And in that case I’d be thankful 24 ended.)



  9. Jessica @ How Sweet on June 1, 2010 at 8:36 am

    Amazing! Mine would send me all the delicious food right from the food network. ๐Ÿ™‚



  10. Sarah on June 1, 2010 at 8:37 am

  13. Karissa @ CardioFoodie on June 1, 2010 at 8:38 am

    If my TV could do anything I would want it to pass along the messages I scream at coaches during football season. Yes I am one of the crazy people that yells at the TV and am convinced it helps.



  14. Melissa on June 1, 2010 at 8:38 am

    If my tv could do anything, I would watch the cooking shows and it would be able to instantly make super delicious and healthy meals for me so 1-I would not mess them up, 2-have you ever tried cooking ANYTHING that takes more than 15 minutes prep time with a toddler…yea pretty tough! 3-save on my grocery bill!



  15. Laura (On the Threshold of Greatness) on June 1, 2010 at 8:39 am

  23. Kim on June 1, 2010 at 8:50 am

  43. MM on June 1, 2010 at 9:08 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to climb through the screen to Europe, beaches, and spas, anywhere that Samantha Brown visits.



  44. Mo on June 1, 2010 at 9:09 am

    Would love it if I could beckon the chefs from the food network or the landscapers from home and garden tv to come on over to my house and provide their services! Oh, and one more, I wish my tv would not allow commercials to come in much louder than the shows they interrupt!

    Thanks,

    Mo



  45. Lindsey @ Foodie on the Rocks on June 1, 2010 at 9:10 am

    I’m with the football loving gals out there.

    If my TV could do anything, it would serve as a gateway for me to go to as many college football games as possible this fall. Especially since I live so far away from my alma mater, Virginia Tech, now!!



  46. Jill on June 1, 2010 at 9:11 am

    I would want to be transported into Nicole Sherzinger’s sexy body, she is not only outrageously beautiful, but quirky, funny, confident, talented and most of all very humble.
