Her Post- The Day I Had My Soul On Wheels

Hope you all have a better day than me. Mondays are not the devil for me , but today my body wants to rest and just take it slowly. The other night was a full moon night. Me and hubs were turning and tossing in bed like two sausages on a grill, so maybe that’s the main reason of my bad mood.

At least we both had a great weekend. Saturday we had to restock our oh-so-empty fridge. The grocery list included brussel sprouts (obviously), 2% yogurt, milk, whole wheat bread, kiwi, a chicken breast, potatoes, eggs, tuna and others (and my “ Once a week” Diet Pepsi, but give me a break). We also had plenty of tme to do laundry and then watch Will Smith in " I, Robot". Tell me one single person who doesn't LOVE Will?

                                

Sunday was even great. Since I’m naturally a morning person, hubs had get up earlier than usual and once we had everything packed we headed to a nearby park for some bicycle lessons . I am not gonna lie, I was mortified. Seeing all those little children with their fancy smancy bicycles made me realize that I’m not going to be 80 years old and still not knowing to ride a bike.

C. is the best teacher ever and I knew that. He was kind enough to run beside me and give pieces of advice. Finally, I’m proud to say that I didn’t fall, not even once and by the time we had to return the bike, my little soul felt free and confident on wheels. 

Her Post- Weekend Recap and a Fun Video

Monday morning doesn't bother me too much. Especially when breakfast looks like this...                                                                                                                                                                                                        



Strawberries are pricey thesse daus, but my mood is priceless.

It means I get to have a fresh start. My Monday morning begin with an intense leg workout that included some pylometrics . Don’t worry for my neighbours. A nice couple moved a week ago in the downstairs apartment and they already doing renos. Today will be another day of History Press. Thank God my PMS is no longer around here.

Saturday it was time to fly away for a couple of hours. We went to see the Aeronautic show and we had a blast.



They seemed happy up there, but I wouldn't want a vibrating motor right under my butt while my legs are hanging from that high.

Make it snappy, will you, because little doorfs are good wrestlers too.


I sneaked behind police man's back and went for a ride...Almost. Cause kids were standing in row for a similar photo, so I had to let it go. Instead, we break our necks trying to follow some awesome flying machines.

We became ecstatic when the men waved us and I was screaming on the top of my lungs. Everyone had a ripper of a time as you can see for yourself here ...

                                                     

Did you had fun during weekend or did you miss the boat?

Her Post - The reason Japanese live longer and it's not because they know Kung FU

Sunday we went all the way till Japan.

We have loved to take a real trip to The Land Of Rising Sun and witness the great show of cherry blossomed season. You’re probably sick and tired of me sharing my passion for nature, so I figured it out that One more post on this theme isn’t a big deal. Right?



Saturday, was my active rest day. After church, we went to our favorite park. It wasn’t a particularly sunny day, but we wanted to spend some quality time together, since we both have to study for our exams.

As we entered in the park, a warmer light made its way through clouds. With no specific route in our mind, we were prepared to just move until our legs dropped. Fortunately, it wasn’t the case. I turned my head and there it was…The Japanese Garden.

They seemed very absorbed, but do not let them full you. I bet they were ready to a one on one fight for some good CO2.

A small garden surrounded by a small fence, with small paths to walk on. Are japanese people that small?? And what do you get when you put together a nice weather and some blossomed trees? A bunch of couples that had their own tree to laid down and just…kiss. There was some sort of unspoken rule that the last people who arrived must find another tree.

We spotted a good one and laid down over our jackets. Soon after, we did some pictures and enjoyed our snacks, while taking a light tan.

Poor Buddha. He looks like he lost like 20 pounds of belly fat and he now poses like  a drug dealer:
" This stuff is good, I can smell it"

My sammie was stuffed with salad, tomatoes and melted cheese. Just like japanese eat.

How about you? Did you get to see the real deal?
