away for the weekend: random 5 friday - buried

random 5 friday - buried


buried...


in snow...


Yep - it's February in Vermont -

Which is okay with me.
Because - you know, it's kind of hard to ski and snowshoe without the snow.

The other night after a stressful and s-l-o-w drive home from work, I walked in the door asking-
"So, did you buy the winning lottery ticket today?"
Greg: "No, but I ordered a winning dinner."
Me: shrug  "Yeah, okay, that's almost as good."
-because - having a husband who understands when that whole cooking dinner thing is just not happening,
is kind of like winning the lottery.

This week I've been drinking Jillian Michael's detox water.
I'm really  not sure what it's for - 
or why I'm drinking it - I saw it on Pinterest and thought-
Yeah, okay, why not?
I'll let you know next week when I'm feeling fabulous

Although - that's likely to have nothing to do with the water -
next week I will be on vacation :-)
and not a moment to soon -

All week I've had this song playing through my mind
Yep, it's an oldie, but I can't get it out of my head




Have a wonderful week!

    Hope you enjoy your vacation and have a fabulous weekend, Karen.

  4. How I long for some of that snow here in the dry California mountains. But I won't complain, spring is bringing new life to our canyon. I really enjoyed the randomness of your Random 5 post.

  6. That is one of my favourite tunes. The snow photos are gorgeous, I never minded driving in it at home but if we have flurries here I stay home. How sweet of your husband to think to order in-

  7. that truck is deep in the snow. i remember a past post where you showed him. i love a good old truck. i am giggling at you drinking the drink. are you suppose to see results or what? i always think about doing a drinking cleanse, but wonder what will it do for me ... i do have to eat in the AM ... not sure if it is low blood sugar or what. i don't have any issues that i know of ... but i get hungry. so i can not imagine working off only fluids for a week or less. no fun in my book. kind of yuck. like you know how folks say that you have to wait 7 years to get rid of bubble gum that you shallow ... i can imagine that it take that long for items/fluids to get through you. you know??! happy weekend to you!!

  15. I HATE snow, but LOVE that first shot. I did do a little cross country skiing to try to embrace it. Blah, blah, blah. What a fantastic name for a blog. Happy travels. Hope it's to someplace warm.

  16. My daughter turned me onto Jillian Michael's week-long quick start program last year, and I felt super healthy and good after eating all the healthy food for a week. (I still make her veggie soup recipe almost every week and heat it up for lunches.) Hope the water has you energized for a GREAT upcoming vacation!

  17. Gosh, that is a lot of snow! I tried but didn't get the winning lottery ticket either. Someone in CA is much richer now though!

    Have fun on vacation!

  21. Have a good holiday. We've got to get out of here is one of those tunes that just rolls around in your head for all day. Why did you mention it?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Goody - vacation! I hope you feel fabulous - either from the water or just utter relaxation. Love the buried truck and birdhouses.

  25. Lovely shots of the snow...it's been a harsh winter for you folks. I am in western pa and while we have had precip on almost a daily basis since mid november, sometimes it is snow and sometimes rain so we have not had the deep snow to deal with ( nothing over 6-7 inches at a time here )

  26. oh yay, vacation!! let me know how that detox water is, i pinned it too but haven't tried it! beautiful pics and awesome to have a husband to know just when to pick up dinner!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Going somewhere to escape the snow and cold or is it a staycation? Either way, sounds wonderful. And bless your hubby's heart for being so thoughtful. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh goody, vacation, always a good thing. And let us know how fabulous you feel after the detox. I have wondered about those concoctions!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh my buried in snow, not so much fun. Having dinner fixed or bought so you don't have to cook...Priceless
    Enjoy that vacation.

  30. Hi Karen, First time visiting. Wow! you guys are having a long winter.. These transitional months are tough. I live in Seattle and it's gray until May and by then we are all tired of the gloom. Your husband was very considerate. We all have those days! I need to check on the detox water.. sometimes I add these things into my diet and not sure if they really help or not.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  31. Anytime I hear the word, "Vermont", I think of "I'm Larry...and this is my brother,Darrell, and this is my other brother, Darrell." Oh, the days of great sitcom.....Bob Newhart, where are you?

  36. OH MY! LOTS of snow!!!
    Love the buried truck and hopefully those houses for rent will become unthawed soon for spring arrivals. :)
    Vacation??? Well, what a better time to get away. Hope it's to someplace warm.
