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, it would be serving me super healthy meals that I don’t have to prepare! I would love to have a personal chef deliver well balanced meals to keep me going 🙂



  2. Dianette on June 1, 2010 at 11:22 am

    If my tv could do anything I’d have it clean up and makeover my room like all those remodeling shows do



  3. Callie on June 1, 2010 at 11:23 am

    I would want my TV to let me sample the delicious food I see on the Food Network – YUM!



  4. Anya on June 1, 2010 at 11:24 am

    If my TV could do anything, I wish it’d allow me to jump inside my favorite shows + hockey games! It’d be fun to experience that, haha 🙂

    Looking forward to the raw strawberry tart! That sounds so delicious!



  5. Heather on June 1, 2010 at 11:24 am

    I wish my TV would have the ability to tell me when a show and/or movie is not worth my time. Then again, I guess that would defeat the purpose of TV and advertising…ha! 🙂 Maybe I wish it had the ability to say “you’ve watched way too much trashy reality TV marathon today, please turn it off and go do some yoga or take a walk!”



  6. Sondos on June 1, 2010 at 11:24 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would automatically censor unsuitable material that I don’t want my kids watching. Their little brains are so impressionable! 🙂



  7. Courtney (Greeneyedrunner) on June 1, 2010 at 11:25 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would help me raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by paying me to work out. That is, it would have a channel with pilates, corepower yoga, zumba, and weight training courses that I could earn money by completing!



  8. sarah on June 1, 2010 at 11:25 am

    i would love for my tv to allow me to have a kitchen like some of the food network chefs – so jealous! mine is tiny 🙂



  9. Evelyn @ cheers2healthy on June 1, 2010 at 11:26 am

    My magical TV would be a walk-in TV so I could experience it in real life! Hopefully it’s on the Travel channel at some tropical paradise 😀



  10. Laura on June 1, 2010 at 11:26 am

    if my TV could do anything it would be SMELL-avision. I lurve the Food Network, and the only thing that would make me love it more would be to be able to SMELL all the lovely food they cook. Love your blog, G Money!
    ~Laura



  11. Julie on June 1, 2010 at 11:27 am

    My TV would have a built in internet! So I wouldn’t have to run back and fourth from the TV room to the computer room!



  12. Christina on June 1, 2010 at 11:28 am

    I have to agree with smellavision. I would love to smell all the deliciousfood they are cooking on the Food Network!!!



  13. molly on June 1, 2010 at 11:28 am

    if my tv could do anything, I would be able to, um, meet mcdreamy. Haha



  14. jeri on June 1, 2010 at 11:28 am

    If my tv could do anything, I’d want it to have the ability to let me jump inside during Packer football games to spectate and travel shows to experience some fabulous new places.



  15. kt F on June 1, 2010 at 11:29 am

    If my TV could do anything, it’d only play shows I was interested in! I wouldn’t have to flip through channels 😉



  16. ari on June 1, 2010 at 11:29 am

    my tv should give me all the cooking appliances on the food network so i can cook like them 🙂



  17. MonicaW on June 1, 2010 at 11:29 am

    If my TV could do anything it would have the biggest loser trainers jump out of the tv and train me while letting me eat the food network food like Paula’s at the same time!



  18. Lisa (lisa at home) on June 1, 2010 at 11:29 am

    If my tv could do anything, it would pick out the show I wanted to watch automatically in accordance with my preferences… I hate surfing. And also, I would love if on all of the shows, you could press a button and the stores and prices of all of the items on a show !



  19. Jaime on June 1, 2010 at 11:29 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would like it to push me from the sofa after more than an hour of staring at it. 🙂

    Great giveaway Gina!!



  20. Cristin on June 1, 2010 at 11:30 am

    If my TV could do anything it would allow me to sample all the food on Top Chef!



  21. Judy on June 1, 2010 at 11:30 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would reach out, grab me and drop me on the set of GLEE. With a singing voice that is not as tone deaf as the one I walk around with now. Great blog!



  22. kate on June 1, 2010 at 11:30 am

    I wish my TV had the ability to let you scroll over an outfit and see where to get it and for how much–you know, like a magazine. My bank account probably wouldn’t love that though 🙂



  23. Melissa on June 1, 2010 at 11:31 am

    I would have Lauren Lake from HGTV come into my house and do all of my interior decorating. I’m so BAD at coordinating and making choices!



  24. Shelly on June 1, 2010 at 11:31 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would let me jump into TV shows that were made in the late 80s and early 90s. I would hang out with Zach Morris at Bayside, and rock their amazingly hilarious outfits!



  25. Meg on June 1, 2010 at 11:32 am

    If my TV could do anything, I wish it would act as my personal chef, stylist, and trainer! I’d have the Food Network, fabulous celeb stylists, and Jillian and Bob from The Biggest Loser on my side 🙂



  26. Beth on June 1, 2010 at 11:32 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would want it to play new movies (ie SATC 2) without having to go to the theater.



  27. AnneW on June 1, 2010 at 11:32 am

    If my TV could do anything it would take me on vacation to any of the cool places on the Travel Channel or the Food Network! I could just step right inside and be in Greece, Hawaii, or New Zealand!!



  28. Katie on June 1, 2010 at 11:33 am

    If my tv could do anything I would want it to tell me to get my lazy butt off the couch and get up and enjoy life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  29. Jayna' on June 1, 2010 at 11:33 am

    I would have my tv screen pop up with my to do list for the day. I would love a programmable tv to my specifics complete with sparkly sounds and uploadable photos. I know it sounds far fetched, but seriously. In this day and age, people wil spend a bit more to make things customizable!



  30. Lindsay (Summit Sandwiches) on June 1, 2010 at 11:33 am

    If my tv could do anything, it would be my own personal stylist. And it would tell me when what I’m wearing is: a) boring, or b) ridiculous. I need help in the fashion department.



  31. Talia on June 1, 2010 at 11:34 am

    I would def want my TV to cook me the food they show on Top Chef! YUM 🙂



  32. Whitney @ Whitinspired on June 1, 2010 at 11:35 am

    I’m going to take a cue from you and say if my tv could do anything it would be that if I saw any outfit, on any channel, that I liked, it would somehow materialize in my closet…for free of course 🙂



  33. Barbara(Blood,Sweat and Heels) on June 1, 2010 at 11:35 am

    Hi Gina~

    If my TV could do anything, I’d REALLY like to watch Food Network and be able to taste a bit of this or that! YUM-O!

    B



  34. Brigid on June 1, 2010 at 11:37 am

    I just wish my TV got better reception! Oh the joys of living off broadcast. But if I could get a TV endowed with special powers, I’d want one that vacuumed and tidied up while I lounge on the couch. 😉



  35. Ashley S. on June 1, 2010 at 11:37 am

    If my tv could do anything, it would warp into an ATM and I could dispense as much money as I wanted ANY time!



  36. Caitlin on June 1, 2010 at 11:38 am

    I think I would want the tv to make me as talented as the atheletes that I’m watching…to be able to dunk, spike, swim like an Olympian. Yes please!!

    Cait



  37. Christie on June 1, 2010 at 11:38 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would pull a Jillian Michaels on me and yell/”motivate” me during my workouts to recorded shows. When I sit out during a super bendy yoga pose or quit after the 12th rep, the TV would tell me to KEEP GOING! 😉



  38. Lexie on June 1, 2010 at 11:39 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would know my voice and rewind, pause, fast forward, etc. when I tell it 🙂



  39. Ryane on June 1, 2010 at 11:39 am

    It’d be aaaawesome if I could actually SMELL the amazing dishes I watch on Bobby Flay or Giada….. YUMMMMMMMMMMM… oh and then if it served the food to me too, that’d be another little bonus : )



  40. Tori on June 1, 2010 at 11:40 am

    If my tv could do anything, I would want it to actually create the dishes I see being made on Food Network. Preferably the ones Bobby Flay makes. Yum!!!!



  41. Julia on June 1, 2010 at 11:41 am

    I would want my TV to send me samples of what I’m seeing on Food Network!



  42. Cristina on June 1, 2010 at 11:42 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would be able to smell and taste the delish dishes that I always watch on TV!



  43. Katerina on June 1, 2010 at 11:42 am

    If my TV could do anything, I would make it turn off automatically if it is on for more than an hour a day. Seriously!



  44. Alison on June 1, 2010 at 11:43 am

    If my T.V. could do anything, I’d like it to not let me turn it on when I have other more important things to do. A procrastinator’s worst tool!



  45. Sana on June 1, 2010 at 11:44 am

    If your TV could do anything, it would let me be the star of my own reality TV show!



  46. Raya @ Raya Runs on June 1, 2010 at 11:45 am

    If my TV could do anything, it would be to make me famous!



  47. ashley nicole on June 1, 2010 at 11:45 am

    if my TV could do anything, it could teleport me into the beautiful places in shows, movie, etc. that these celebs enjoy, make me the yummy, healthy food, and dress me to look fabulous while i’m there…i’m high maintenance 😉 i know!



  48. Carly @ The Road To Health on June 1, 2010 at 11:46 am

    If my TV could do anything it would be to provide me with the delicious meals on my table that I see on the cooking shows!



  49. molly kinkade on June 1, 2010 at 11:46 am

    I wish the TV could trasmit smells!



  50. Allie on June 1, 2010 at 11:46 am

    if my TV couls do anything, i would like it to respond to my voice. i imagine this technology is not too far in the future!
