Posted on January 29, 2012 by Andrea

You can read about Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3.

Sunday, January 22nd:

It was super windy when I got up and instead of putting on my shoes, I changed into my painting clothes. I got the first coat of primer up before I even had my morning coffee!

Two rooms and two coats of primer for each. That took all day and completely wiped me out! I might not have run but I did get a lot accomplished and painting is most definitely an upper body workout!

Monday, January 23rd:

It was windy again and I turned on the coffee pot. I couldn’t sit idle for long though and at lunch I headed out for a quick run. It started raining and the wind was still blowing strong. Ugh!

I completely hate running in the wind AND rain. However you gotta burn it to earn it, right? I was already dressed and already outside, so I might as well run. I did 2.5 miles.

Burnt Out

January 27, 2012

Last Friday, as I was heating up some leftover pizza, I noticed some sizzling and then a bright spot in my oven. Um. I opened the door to find smoke and a small fire taking place in the left front corner. Crap! I gave it a sec to see if it would burn out (In case it...

2011-2012 Favorite Winter Ales

January 26, 2012

Scott and I have been sampling a bunch of seasonal brews this winter because you know it’s beer season! It would be nice to be able to purchase more variety of bottles in singles for sampling. Sometimes you don’t want to invest in a six pack (or four pack) of something you haven’t tried yet. We try...

Beer Affair

Starting this fall and picking up steam this winter, I’ve rediscovered my inner beer lover. Now those that know me or have been reading this blog for any length of time will know that I have always enjoyed a great beer. However, the past few years I’ve been picking wine over beer. I would have beer...

Crab Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes

January 23, 2012

There’s been a lot of experimenting going on with crab here at the HQ. Both Scott and I adore crab and while crab cakes are tasty, sometimes you need a little more out of life. I’ve been hesitant in the past to mess around with crab because it is a pricey protein option and the...

Run January: Week 3

January 22, 2012

You can read recaps of Week 1 and Week 2. Sunday, January 15th: Rest day! There are two reasons why I took this as a rest day: Body was tired. Work needed done around the house. We’ve been really hauling butt this past week to get wallpaper removed and two rooms painted. Saturday, we didn’t get nearly as much accomplished...

Beer ‘N Eggs

January 20, 2012

This week has seen a lot of progress! Most importantly we have completed one of two of the wallpaper rooms. Hooray! Our laundry room is now finished and my washer and dryer no longer reside in my entryway. For someone who likes organization, that’s the one part of home renos that drive me bonkers. The...
