Happy Valentine’s Day!
Do you feel my contempt for the “holiday”? It’s not that I’m against the idea of love – I just… think it’s so sensationalized. I did send my kids to school with Valentines and I did get flowers from Dan, but BAAAAH- HUMBUG. Maybe I’m just not in the mood to celebrate this year, because I don’t remember feeling so “blah” about it last year. Or maybe I just have a cold, black heart. Did you celebrate?
In any case – here are 3 things unrelated to Valentine’s Day.
1. I made pancakes for dinner last night and they were AMAZING.
Not just any pancakes – Greek Yogurt Pancakes.

I was tempted to make them for dinner again tonight because they were that good. But, then I dropped the rest of my eggs on the floor when I opened the fridge tonight and that was the end of that dream.
I’m going to play around with the recipe and post a version of my own later next week. Be on the lookout!
2. I have banned myself from buying new running shoes until June. I simply don’t need them – but that doesn’t mean I don’t look at them. OFTEN. (if doesn’t help that I get emails from both Running Warehouse AND Roadrunner Sports) This of course does not ban me from buying shoes for B. Which is exactly what I did today. His next pair of running shoes…
Aren’t they pretty? I bought them solely on how they look – they have gotten really great reviews (for kids and adults).
3. The hubby and I are going on a real date tomorrow night. We’re going to see Imagine Dragons…
Ummm… are there really stuffed animals and Lou Diamond Phillips in that video? What the?
We’re also planning on eating a full meal sans kids (well, except this one I’m carrying around) — it’s the first time we’ve been out in a while! The show is at the House of Blues, which I like to call Paula’s Place. Surprisingly I’ve NEVER been there!
3 Random Questions:
1. What’s your favorite breakfast food for dinner?
2. Have you ever banned yourself from shopping? For what?
3. What’s the last concert you went to?

Hee! There’s a place near the bar on the right side of the stage that has a perfect view and perfect spot under the A/C, which you might need since I saw the show is sold out. *So proud* you’re going there!
I might have to check out those pancakes you speak of. I’m on a pancake kick.
Those pancakes look delicious!!! I haven’t had pancakes/waffles in a loooong time and I doubt I’ll be having them any time soon. It’s tough to make pancakes for yourself when you live by yourself.
I don’t think I’ve ever banned myself from shopping for something. I probably should though.
I’ve heard Imagine Dragons puts on an awesome concert! You’ll have to do a review. The last concert I went to…hmmm…it was 3 or 4 years ago and it was Billy Joel & Elton John.

My two-year-old nephew loves Imagine Dragons. He can sing every word to Radioactive and even does the heavy breath. It’s so cute!

Lol! Was he at the show last night? (there were actually kids there — and they didn’t go on until 10!!)
Tie between pancakes and omelettes.
I am currently banned from shopping. It’s not going well. See –> 3 pairs of shoes I ordered online yesterday. Oops.
Imagine Dragons!!! Love them! Have the best best best time!!

You need to try this pancakes — ummm maybe find a vegan alternative to yogurt? Lol. OK, maybe not.
The ID show was really fun – I have a feeling they will be playing big venues soon!
Pancakes for dinner = awesome. Plus it doubles as dessert! Win win.

Yes – and they are actually healthy! 20+ grams of protein. Woo-hoo!
Too funny! I am going to see ID tonight in Asheville with hubby! We have a very fun evening planned, and I am so excited for it and to see ID and Atlas Genius. I didn’t realize they would be in Fl before NC. I look forward to comparing concert notes. Did they play “The River”? I will freak if they do. Hope you had a great time. Now I’ve got to go get some miles in before Eli’s basketball game and going on to A’ville so I will not have that hanging over me this weekend.
They might have played they song — they played almost everything and there were a few I didn’t know! It was a good show – you will definitely enjoy them
How did those miles go? I hope you ran a few for me
