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

    I would love me TV to be able to let me reach in and get a bite of all the delicious foods they make on the Food Network! I am always watching wishing I could just have a little bit of everything! It doesn’t even have to be the Food Network, even the Magic Bullet infomercials make foods that I want to try!!



  2. Melissa on June 1, 2010 at 10:44 am

    I’d have my TV automatically be able to tell me where to get the lamp/shoes/outfit/rug that I like from various shows.



  3. Alyssa on June 1, 2010 at 10:45 am

    I don’t have a TV (I would waste too much time/too much trash on it), but I wish TVs everywhere would have a watching “time limit” for kids!



  4. Kat on June 1, 2010 at 10:47 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would let me sample the food, try on the shoes, and let me smack all the idiots that make it on the news for dumb stuff ๐Ÿ™‚



  5. Kat on June 1, 2010 at 10:47 am

    I’m right there with you and the fashion – hello sex and the city! – I would love to reach in and grab articles of clothing at will to frolick in!



  6. Jessica @ Jessica Balances on June 1, 2010 at 10:47 am

    If my TV could do anything, I’d like it to transport hotties from shows into my home. For instance… Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl would be MORE than welcome in my room. ๐Ÿ™‚



  7. babs on June 1, 2010 at 10:49 am

    I would definitely want my TV to allow me to jump into it and go to the location it was showing. Can you tell I’m a bit jealous (and in need of) the tropical vaca you and the Pilot recently enjoyed ๐Ÿ™‚ Instead of studying for the bar exam!



  8. raluca on June 1, 2010 at 10:49 am

    Hi there ๐Ÿ™‚

    So, if my TV could do anything, it would let me step in whenever persons runs away from the psychopath in a horror movie in order to show them the way out of the misere rather than let them run directly into the killers’ arms, like they always do lol!



  9. Katie (Sweet Tater) on June 1, 2010 at 10:51 am

    totally lame but true: i wish my TV had smell-o-vision.



  10. Krystal on June 1, 2010 at 10:51 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to to bring the people who do the workout shows right to my living room in person. Thank goodness for DVR ๐Ÿ™‚



  11. bonnie on June 1, 2010 at 10:51 am

    If my TV could do anything, I’d want it to let me reach in and grab whatever dish my favorite FoodTV chefs are making. If only!



  12. Nicole on June 1, 2010 at 10:52 am

    If my tv could do anything, it would let me jump in whenever. I would taste the delicious foods from the food network, snatch all the cute outfits that celebs wear and experience different countries whenever I wanted ๐Ÿ™‚

    Great giveaway and question! xoxo



  13. laurie on June 1, 2010 at 10:52 am

    if my tv could do anything, it would always have the show I am in the mood for on with NO commercials!!



  14. Ashley on June 1, 2010 at 10:54 am

    If my TV could do anything it would let me take DVRed shows from my friends DVR (just in case I forgot to DVR them).



  15. Carrie on June 1, 2010 at 10:55 am

    If my TV could do anything Bret Michaels would pop right out and give a concert in my living room ๐Ÿ™‚



  16. Aya on June 1, 2010 at 10:56 am

    If my tv could do anything, I would seriously consider first having a destination vacation channel, and then with a click of a button, being able to transport there in a matter of seconds. THAT would be ideal for quick getaways, and some authentic sushi. ๐Ÿ˜‰



  17. Lauren @NoFauxFood on June 1, 2010 at 10:56 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would turn all those awesome make-overs on HGTV into my apartment ๐Ÿ™‚



  18. Erin on June 1, 2010 at 10:57 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to jump into it and experience whatever I was watching. Think: Travel channels expose on the Greek Islands, a chat with whoever was on Leno, tasting Paula Deans latest creation..mmmm….



  19. Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 am

    I would want to reach into the TV and grab whatever clothes/accessories on the celebrities that I wanted.



  20. Hailey S. (Adventures in Health) on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would be able to taste all the yummy foods that I see and not have to cook them myself!!!



  21. Dynamics on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 am

    If my TV could do anything I wish it would fast forward through the commercials and stop exactly where it is supposed to. Imagine all the time we would save!



  22. Heather on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 am

    If my tv could do anything it would transform my apartment into something on HGTV…

    I would also be happy if it dusted and cleaned my floors.



  23. Heather on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 am

  24. Raphaela on June 1, 2010 at 10:58 am

    If my TV could do anything, I’d definitely travel to the locations shown on the Travel channel. I watched a special on Italy the other day and thought to myself, how flippin awesome would it be to just get into that gondola and take a tour of venice on my day off.



  25. Jen on June 1, 2010 at 10:59 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would love to get free samples from all the comercials. Free samples of everything from food, to cleaning products to perfume! It would be EPIC.



  26. Emily GG on June 1, 2010 at 11:00 am

    If my TV could do anything it would be my closet (take cloths/accessories from whoever I wanted), it would be my kitchen (hellllloooo food network), and it would be my personal trainer!!!!



  27. Erin on June 1, 2010 at 11:00 am

    I’d want my TV to allow me to taste all the awesome foods advertised on commercials! They always make them look so good!



  28. danielle on June 1, 2010 at 11:01 am

    if my TV could do anything, it would operate completely wire free and weigh only two pounds.



  29. Katherine M. on June 1, 2010 at 11:03 am

    If my TV could do anything I would want it to allow me to try the food on all my favorite cooking shows! It’s such a tease to watch them make everything and not get to have a bite!



  30. Saraya on June 1, 2010 at 11:03 am

    If my tv could do anything, I would have it change my little boy’s nasty diapers…yuck!



  31. Laura H on June 1, 2010 at 11:04 am

    If my TV could do anything, I think I am going to have to agree with the other commenters! Love to taste recipes, grab clothes, anything my heart desired ๐Ÿ˜€



  32. Lindsay on June 1, 2010 at 11:06 am

    I would like to use my remote to shop & buy the cool things I see on TV. If I love a lamp or top then I can buy it before the next commercial. Also, to give me the abs I want when I’m watching those silly infomercials ๐Ÿ™‚



  33. jodi on June 1, 2010 at 11:06 am

    My TV is more than welcome to cook dinner for us every night…and do the dishes!!



  34. Jessica G on June 1, 2010 at 11:06 am

    If my tv could do anything, i wish it would yell back at my fiancee. He has a tendency to yell at the tv when there’s something he disagrees with. i often have to remind him that the people in the tv can’t hear him. it would be nice if there was a response from the people in the box rather than me having ot listen to a one sided argument.



  35. Clare on June 1, 2010 at 11:09 am

    If my TV could do anything, I’d want to be able to teleport to all the awesome places on TV (like warm beaches, or fun cities)!



  36. Vera on June 1, 2010 at 11:09 am

    Reach into the TV and have a bite of the food on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ



  37. Angie on June 1, 2010 at 11:10 am

    If my tv could do anything, it would be to have the trainers from Biggest Loser actually train ME. ๐Ÿ™‚



  38. Ashley on June 1, 2010 at 11:11 am

    If my TV could do anything I would want it to be able to teach me how to dance like all the dancers on So You Think You Can Dance ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Talk about fun!



  39. Chai Lattรฉ on June 1, 2010 at 11:14 am

    Hmm! I think I’d want my TV to auto-skip ALL commercials!



  40. Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin on June 1, 2010 at 11:15 am

    Mmm basil + tomato is one of my favourite combos!

    If my tv could do anything I would want it to be able to transport me to some of my favourite tv show locations (like the beaches on 90210!!).



  41. McPinks on June 1, 2010 at 11:16 am

    If my TV could do anything – I would want it to film all my moments with my son and my family without me knowing. Sometimes I feel like life goes by too fast and to see little moments like that.



  42. Morgan M on June 1, 2010 at 11:16 am

    If my TV would let me do anything, I would be able to reach on in during any food network show & help them taste test…then it would help be build a super awesome home gyms & yoga studio to work off all those extra calories I get from Paula Dean & Rachel Ray ๐Ÿ™‚



  43. Jessica @ The Process of Healing on June 1, 2010 at 11:16 am

    If my TV could do anything, I’d like it to have smell-o-vision!



  44. Lauren on June 1, 2010 at 11:16 am

    If my tv could do anything, I would want it to transport Carmindy into my living room to do my makeup!



  45. Tara on June 1, 2010 at 11:18 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would want to be to influence the storylines on shows when I don’t like what the writers are doing!



  46. Rene on June 1, 2010 at 11:20 am

    If my TV had the ability to allow me to a) smell/taste the food on the food network or b) allow me to virtually participate in cooking/workout classes where I actually felt like I was there, it wuold be amazing!



  47. Katy(Balanced Foodie) on June 1, 2010 at 11:21 am

    If my TV could do anything I would be able to watch the travel channel/food channel and be able to jump right in wherever they are and try the food/travel to the countries they are visiting and be able to return home whenever I want to! To be able to travel and eat amazing food with the snap of a finger would be a dream. I think there’s a special on Italy tonight, excuse me while I go pack… ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰



  48. Jackie on June 1, 2010 at 11:21 am

    If my tv could do anything it would allow me to jump in while tuned into the travel channel or food network!



  49. Sarah on June 1, 2010 at 11:22 am

    If my TV could do anything it would let the amazing tv chefs out and into my kitchen to whip me up an amazing dinner! It might also let me into the Biggest Loser gym for a last chance workout with Bob! ๐Ÿ˜€



  50. Cara on June 1, 2010 at 11:22 am

    I would want my TV to have a button where it can tell me where to find more info, website, recipie, how to purchase etc. Like a cross between tv and the internet!!
