FLIPpin’ Awesome Giveaway

Hey everyone! How’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 he’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 🙂

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 🙂

The plan for today is:

-3 training appointments

-Weights (upper body)

-Post office

-Clean downstairs

-Make raw strawberry tart for Thurs night girl’s night

-Insanity

-Back to work

Before I go…

here’s that giveaway I’ve been hinting at 😉

Remember my Christmas gift from the pilot??

That would be a Flip cam.. and I’m in love with it 🙂

    If my tv could do anything, I would love for it to record everything I do and then allow me to go back in time when I do or say something that I wanted to take back.



  2. Melissa Strickland on June 1, 2010 at 9:13 pm

    If my TV could do anything, it would pay my student loans, fold my laundry,record and reply all the precious moments I have been experiencing with my two young children, and allow me to play detective in any law and order episode I wish!! Thanks for having this giveaway!! I love your site and your spirit is awesome!



  3. Danielle on June 1, 2010 at 9:15 pm

    It would let me hop into The Biggest Loser and get my booty kicked by Bob…I wouldn’t mind that at all (have you seen how gorgeous he is? ;))



  4. Niki on June 1, 2010 at 9:16 pm

    If my TV could do anything I would want it to grant me smell-a-vision so I could smell everything that I see being made on the food network!



  5. mel on June 1, 2010 at 9:16 pm

    If I could do anything I would jump back to my honeymoon in Belize last August…laying in the hammock drinking a glass of red wine..yum!



  6. Meg on June 1, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to transport myself as a member of a live studio audience of any TV show past/present. I would make sure to have been at the series finale of Friends!!!



  7. Christy on June 1, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    If my tv would let me do anything, it would take me next to all the biggest losers and let me work out with them!!!



  8. Emily N on June 1, 2010 at 9:19 pm

    I would like my tv to be a central vaccuum so I would never have to dust or vaccuum again. It would sense when there are dust bunnies or dirt (anywhere in the house) and quietly suck it in and dispose of it.



  9. Alexis Peterson on June 1, 2010 at 9:19 pm

    If I could do anything in the T.V… I would like to hang out with Stacey and Clinton from What Not to Wear for a day and get wardrobe advice!!!! <3



  10. Lynn B on June 1, 2010 at 9:21 pm

    If my TV could do anything, it would let me travel in real time all around the world so I could experience all that life has to offer! And capture if of course…. on my Flip camera 😉



  11. Maria on June 1, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    I’m very sensitive to noise and hate it when the tv is really loud– I wish that my tv could only be heard by the person who’s watching it, so that I can’t hear anything while he/she is watching it



  12. Donca on June 1, 2010 at 9:29 pm

    If my TV could do anything I would want it to let me travel around the world with the different cultures. Especially Bizarre foods or other travel channel shows. That would be so much fun.



  13. Heidi on June 1, 2010 at 9:32 pm

    If my TV could do anything, it would make my son and I delicious, nutritious meals on command and print off coupons for local organic farmers!
    Thanks for doing a give-away, I don’t comment very often, but find a lot of inspiration from your blog!



  14. Katie H. on June 1, 2010 at 9:38 pm

    I would want my TV to teleport me to the Gilmore Girls set so I could join the cast.



  15. Sally on June 1, 2010 at 9:46 pm

    I would want my husband to come home from deployment if my TV could do anything.



  16. Meggan on June 1, 2010 at 9:46 pm

    If my TV could do anything, I would get it to cook for me. It would be yummier and healthier than anything I do…



  17. Katie F. on June 1, 2010 at 9:49 pm

    If my T.V. could do anything it would tell me where to buy any of the outfits I love from the shows.



  18. Jenny on June 1, 2010 at 10:03 pm

  19. Laura on June 1, 2010 at 10:08 pm

  22. Missy on June 1, 2010 at 10:26 pm

    If my TV cuould do anything, it would help me teach the people that ask for advice but dont listen to it, how to be healthier!!
    and meet bob and jillian!!



  23. Melissa on June 1, 2010 at 10:27 pm

    I would love for my tv to automatically record my fav shows without me telling it to so that I can’t forget to set the Tivo.



  24. Kristie S on June 1, 2010 at 10:31 pm

    If your TV could do anything, what would you want it to do?” I would love to be able to reach into the TV and taste all of the delicious food prepared on TV.



  25. Vicky on June 1, 2010 at 10:32 pm

    If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to be a guest teacher on the show “Shimmy” on Fit TV. I’m a bellydancer so it would allow me to share the joy and beauty of the dance with a wider audience 🙂



  26. Christine on June 1, 2010 at 10:43 pm

    If my TV could do anything, I would want it to magically transport me straight into the living rooms of all the people I love who live to far, especially my little nephew who will be born half-way across the country next month. This little flip cam would be perfect for capturing all the new moments with my new puppy or for taking when I visit my new nephew and can watch him on video! Thanks for offering such an amazing contest, Gina!



  27. Annie on June 1, 2010 at 10:43 pm

    If my TV could anything, it would let me go into the TV and grab Candice Olsen from Divine Design in Canada and bring her to my house and make it look spectacular! That would be AWESOME.



  28. Kelly b on June 1, 2010 at 10:48 pm

    It would take me away to any place that looked good to me on the travel channel



  29. Erin on June 1, 2010 at 10:49 pm

    I would love for my TV to be 3D! I’m a nerd and have to see all the 3D movies at our local IMAX theater. I love 3D movies!



  30. Michelle on June 1, 2010 at 10:52 pm

    I would have to echo being able to go wherever the travel channel takes us!



  31. Kasi on June 1, 2010 at 10:54 pm

    If my TV could do anything it would play the perfect playlist to keep my 15 month old happy on days when I do everything imagineable to make her happy but it still doesn’t work!



  32. Nicole on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 pm

    I would join the cast of the office!!



  33. Michelle in Alaska on June 1, 2010 at 11:03 pm

  37. Erika on June 1, 2010 at 11:22 pm

    If my TV could do anything it would help me stay on track fitness wise – as in after so long of it being on, it would automatically start a workout/stretch segment to help me stay on track, then resume reguarly scheduled programming…good reminder to stay moving and not sedentary…..



  38. Morgan @ Healthy Happy Place on June 1, 2010 at 11:26 pm

    if my TV could do anything, I would want it to magically know what shows I want to watch, record them all for me and delete the commercials. When I walked in the door, it would play my shows automatically commerical free! yayaaa



  39. Lindsey on June 1, 2010 at 11:27 pm

    If my TV could do anything it would be able to read my mind and automatically DVR all my favorite shows because lord knows I forget all the time! haha



  40. Amanda on June 1, 2010 at 11:32 pm

    If it could do anything – I would have Jillian Michaels on instant live accessability to kick my butt!



  41. tonjatoi on June 1, 2010 at 11:38 pm

    wow awesome give away! I wish my TV could remember the shows I like and (like itunes does) recommend other shows I might be interested in or even remind me to record the shows I already enjoy but always miss.



  42. Laura on June 1, 2010 at 11:47 pm

    I wish my TV would allow me to jump into some of my favorite shows (especially Gilmore Girls!) and spend a day in it, with my favorite characters. I’d love to be able to walk around Stars Hollow, eat at Luke’s Diner, and hang with my favorite Gilmore girls.



  43. Dayna on June 1, 2010 at 11:51 pm

    If my tv could do anything I would want it to give me taste-a-vision so I could taste all of the awesome stuff that I see on the food network!

  45. Angie on June 1, 2010 at 11:58 pm

    If my tv could do anything I would be able to reach through it and slap Heidi Montag. What is she thinking staying/ever marrying Spencer Pratt. I feel so bad for that girl!



  46. Ashley @ Grindz on June 2, 2010 at 12:24 am

    If my tv could do anything I would make it bring a Biggest Loser workout to my living room. I’d love to experience it just once!



  47. Ashley @ Grindz on June 2, 2010 at 12:25 am

    PS. I know my entry is late, but it’s still only 6PM in Hawaii!



  48. michelle on June 2, 2010 at 12:43 am

    I would have it go to work for me, heh.



  50. MichelleT on June 2, 2010 at 1:12 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to walk right through it to the oil spill and magically know how to stop the oil from leaking AND clean up all of the damage without further hurting our environment.
