Team Vixen - Dec. Limiter Challenge (Page 63)

OMG!!!  Those are so cute!!!!  Did you cut them to shape or bake them like that?  And is that a candy cane stick I see?  I LOVE candy canes.

Edit:  Cake/sugar TOPPAGE a close second to liquor toppage   ie. Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.

Ok question,

I've been reading about those foam roller things,  how do you use them, do they work and what/where exactly are they good for?

Thanks!  I'm so glad it's over!  I baked the cake up in circle cake pans.  Then cut each circle in 8 wedges.  Yup, candy cane trunk.  They went over well!  

Liquor is most definitely quicker, I'm breaking it open soon!!!  What a day!

Hi Mel!  How did the party go?

Yeah!  Looks like at least 4 Vixens planning on Hyannis. Kristin, Beth, Erica & me.  I will sign up this weekend. I will need the encouragement when the runs get longer and the weather colder.  I think this thread needs to continues at least until then.

Ya know, I really would consider this too. I actually signed up for the marathon last year but couldn't go because of injury. But, I'll have closed on my house the week before and will be using those last 2 weeks of Feb to move. How about you all run the race, then pop on down to Jersey and bring a pickup truck or two?

Ha!  Nice try

those are great!  soo cute!

It went well, hubby made wooden christmas tree puzzles and I painted them green.  We took those in for the kids to decorate with stickers and crayons (they each got their own to decorate and take home).  THey turned out really cute.  We also had them make rudolf puppets out of paper bags and then they got to eat. (read sugar buzz ).  That was it and that was enough.

YEs they work... they are great for releasiong muscles and especially the ITB which can be difficult to stretch properly but Ive used it for glutes, hammies, calves, back... there are lots of possibilities!

What kind of stuff do you do with them?  Is there a site or something that you like that could show me the "moves".

Hi Mel - Im trying to find you some pictures or video online of what to do.

I had a physio and personal trainer show me how to use them but I dont own one so I dont do it often enough to give good instructions!

Yummy, cakes.

Cool roller info.

Crazy story- My husband had me get a gift for his Secret Santa at work while he's outta town. So I did and put it in a nice gift bag all nice. The gift included chocolate. I set it down on the floor in the living room and went into the other room. Came back and the dog had knocked over the bag, gotten the chocolate box out, bit off the top, unwrapped one, and ate it. Crazy dog. She seems ok so far. Guess the dog like peppermint chocolates  

So, you're in this challenge and then you have the nerve to post those.  You are evil.

Oooh I LOVE peppermint chocolates... especially where there is dark chocolate involved...

I make my own peppermint paddies, very dangerous can't make them often.   I too LOVE peppermint and dark chocolate.

Ok question 1: Whats a peppermint paddle?

Question 2: How does one make these?

Q1: Peppermint paddy, like York peppermint paddies.  Middle is minty paste like consistency covered in chocolate. Very lovely.

Q2: I will find you the recipe and post it later.

(We dont have York peppermint patties here... but I know what they are!!! Yay!!!)

The recipe would be AWESOME!!! I think I know what Im going to be making next week

Ooooo, looking forward to that recipe! 

ebshot - 2008-12-19 11:47 AM After a SUPER LONG day of baking and parties in pre-k and K, I am having an entire serving of wine, if not two servings!!  I am so glad today is OVER!  I have one more class party to get through on Monday and I am home free!  Okay, not really, I am double booked on Monday too, class party for Alex (2nd grade) and craft in Cole's class.  Ugh.  I forgot!  When will it end???? Come hell or high water, I am running tomorrow!

Good thing you picked up that wine the other day then!!!!

LazyMarathoner - 2008-12-18 8:29 PM Hey Vixens. My ear is still not good so I had to cancel my swim. I tried to run and had to stop early. It's frustrating. Even if I can swim again there is no way I can do the full amount I committed to. I'll see if there are sick adjustments so I don't drag the team down. Sorry guys I'll still hang out here even if I can't keep doing my workouts.

No worries!  We still love you!    How's the cold weather???  Yuck.  It's supposed to snow tomorrow here.  Lord help me.
