I just broke the glass carafe part of my french press.

And I almost cried.

Not because I broke it. But because it means it will be a few days (at least) before I can replace it & make french press coffee again.

*sigh* Maybe that means I’m a little bit addicted.

Maybe.

Perhaps this one is a bit extravagant…

This one is cute though…

Good thing they sell replacement parts.

CQMissional recently took a trip to Colorado…we had a great time!

We stayed at Silver Cliff Ranch, where we helped out around the camp, and had lots of time to play in the snow.

We shoveled some snow:

Cleaned some cabins:

Helped serve meals:

Went snowshoeing (we also went skiing):

we even drank chocolate milk:

It really was a good week of relaxing, playing in the snow, and just hanging out. Someday we might just go to Colorado and never leave…

So we talked today about how we haven’t given a “here’s what we did today” kind of update in awhile.  So, without further adieu…

Tonight we went for a walk.

(Nice update, huh?)

But on our walk we ended up at Swan Lake, a really cute little subdivision just down the street. A handful of houses surround a small pond called “Swan Lake.” And there are two swans in the lake (along with some geese & ducks.) They had a contest recently to name the swans & some local school children named them Penelope & Cobbler.

Did you know that a female swan is called a “pen” & a male swan is called a “cob?”  Get the names now?
Think about it for a minute.  Now do you get it?

Isn’t that cute!

So when I started going to Curves a few months ago I had no idea what I was in for. And aside from the obvious things (getting in shape, etc.) I have also discovered some AWESOME* arrangements of some of my FAVORITE* songs!  I mean, who wouldn’t want to work out to techno versions of Mmmmbop, Achy Breaky Heart, & my personal favorite….  the theme song to Forrest Gump.

*there may be some sarcasm in the above comments.
