Girl's Night!

Tonight was one of my favorite nights of the month--Girl's Night! Once a month the girls night girls get together and go out to dinner. We've also been known to take a weekend getaway together. Girl's Night is one of our favorite traditions and one the we can't do without. Tonight's dinner was at the Citrus Grill in Draper, complete with live music, good food and great company. I'm already counting down the days until next time, ladies :)

LOST Premiers January 31st, 2008

We are hopeless LOST fans and have been waiting since last MAY (yes, May) to see what happens to our favorite castaways. They left us with such a wicked cliff hanger last year, that we didn't think we would survive the wait. Fortunately for us, we did. So we turned on the New Year's Eve Dick Clark thingy about 10 minutes before midnight on New Year's Eve, and in the last commercial before the ball dropped, they aired the Season 4 trailer. We were mesmerized, as it was the first time we had seen it. Since we have DVR, we rewound the trailer to watch it again, and were so engrossed in it that we completely missed the clock striking midnight. Basically, we totally missed the entrance of the new year all because of Lost, and we were actually OK with that. We turned back to the Dick Clark thing at about 12:05, just in time to hear Ryan Seacrest say "That was amazing. Really amazing. It's amazing because there is confetti everywhere. Dick Clark, back to you. What do you think of all this?" Then Dick Clark said, "It was amazing. There's confetti everywhere. Amazing. Back to you Ryan." Then Ryan said "Yes, this is truly amazing." So basically, we didn't feel like we missed a thing.

Just so you don't feel like you've missed out, here is the LOST Season 4 Trailer:


It just gives me shivers. 25 days to go...

New Year's Resolution #1 - Eating Healthier

It's that time of year. Christmas is over and it's time to get serious about our goals for 2008. While we try to eat healthy on a regular basis, I will admit that we had a whole lot of "off days" over the holidays :) But that's what the holidays are for, right? Well, starting tomorrow, we are getting back on the wagon, waking up early and going to the gym every day, eating the healthy foods and avoiding the bad ones. Unfortunately, this will involve spending less time with some of my best friends, cheese and chocolate. However, I will get to spend time with some old friends that may be feeling neglected (sorry spinach and chard, we've been apart too long).

Look for some great healthy recipes that we've come up with on our food blog at http://barbandjohn.com/food/. Here's to a happy and healthy 2008!
