evening all! we're about to head off to bed but just wanted to post. rod very cool tree. one trick to getting the lights to be captured is to take a picture without flash before sunset and with lights on in the house. try to give the tree some lighting from the outside windows and inside lights and then try the picture without the flash. that seems to be the best bet for me to try to capture the tree...flash always washes the tree out, i refuse to take flash pictures on the tree because i pretty much hate almost any tree pictures with flash that i see. so if you guys won't be home this wkd til after dusk, maybe do it on the wkd. marcy, yummy for cookies. apple, glad you got to get to your class today. everyone..yes the brie was seriously divine..a once a year pleasure!!
so today was a typical day...busy at work and we had a birthday as well ... the last one in our team til march thank goodness!! my coworker made pretzels as it was a german oktoberfest theme...and my boss made really yummy looking chocolate cupcakes that went really fast. we got a fruit tart as a 'cake' for her as well...and then another coworker got her cream puffs from this new popular place locally. somehow i managed to not eat any crap today but had a tiny sliver of the fruit tart and ate all the fruit and like 1/2 of the tart part. we had lunch out and it was supposed to be sushi but they were closed, so we ended up at thai which was yummy. i got a mango chicken shrimp sauteed combo and asked for minimal oil. really didn't eat any rice. then i went to my trainer after work and did circuit cardio and fat burn (aka 1 minute step ladder cardio, 1 minute light fast arms, 1 minute abs, 1 minute arms, rinse and repeat three times)..and then 30 minutes of straight arms and shoulders with heavy weights. drank my protein milk after and went to Trader Joes to load up for the week. came home and made us TJ's pizzas, mine with some shredded turkey breast on it for extra protein. i got greg some light eggnog yesterday as he loves the stuff for holidays, and he puts a little rum in it so we shared a glass of that with some dark chocolate for dessert. i had a few sips of the eggnog as i'm not a huge rum fan but it was tasty!
now it's bedtime and tomorrow i seriously need to buckle down and order some holiday gifts online. argh! i'm so not into it!! sounds like everyone had a good day...yay! nite all.
