Hooray for President's Day!

We got to take today off work because of the holiday and decided we'd head into town and go to an early show-- we figured there would be a lot of people sleeping in because of Valentines day. . . and then today being a holiday, so we figured we had a pretty good chance of getting in and getting seats close to each other. Bobbi, Lexi and I all went to the movie, "Valentines Day."

Awesome theatre-- but probably the most worthless movie I've ever spent money on- really, don't waste your time. We had fun just hanging out together though, walking up and around the upper west side-- I love the upper west side; this is where I use to live-- probably my most favorite place in the city. I had to sneak into Betsey Johnson. . . one of my favorite stores! They have this awesome perfume that I love. . . so I had to go get a whiff of it to perk me up after that blah movie! haha Also, we are doing a work out challenge at our house. . . to whip us all back into shape before swimsuit season! We all put in ten dollars, and then we put a sticker on here. . .

. . . every time that we work out. We have to work out for at least 30 min. in workout clothes, and break a sweat for it to count. Walking around the city doesn't count. At the end of this month. . . whomever has the most stickers wins a gift certificate for whatever they want. . . and since there are four of us, it will be for $40.00. For further motivation. . . we all have come up with an idea of what we want. . . so we can keep our "eye on the prize" as further incentive to get us out of bed early in the morning to workout! I haven't been dying to go shopping for clothes lately. . . but there is one thing that I've been considering shopping for. . . new perfume! There have been a couple I've fallen in love with lately, and mine is just about out. . . but I can't choose between them. . . one, being the Betsey Johnson-- so I had to go remind myself how much I like it. . . because I keep going back and forth between that and Juicy Couture's Viva la Juicy:

or. . . ?

I change my mind almost every day. . . but I still have two weeks. . . and I have to keep waking up early and working out, because the competition is getting so close I can't afford not to!

Here's our President's Day Dessert:

This was another new recipe. It tasted kind of like a Ginger German Pancake, drizzled with a strawberry and raspberry syrup, topped with whip cream. Mmm I actually really liked this one!
