Hello February!

It's Sunday and we are just finishing up cleaning the house a bit.  Ryan finished sanding a wall in the front room so that he and his dad can paint later this month.  The bird feeders are full, lunches are packed, and pretty soon we'll be getting our Super Bowl dinner together.  We used to make loaded nachos ever year, but this year we decided on chilaquiles - inspired by a dish we was on a Rick Bayless show.  Should be tasty, and not too far off from our nacho tradition.

Yesterday we went to Lancaster to the central market.  We got some breakfast sandwiches and greek cookies, found a table runner we liked, and made sure to pick up some treats (stroop waffles and scones) for home.  Ryan enjoyed a cup of "Mean Cup" coffee and I got a tropical smoothie.

After the market we headed to the Park City (not the Utah Park City!) mall.  Ryan had some issues with this phone, and this mall had the closest Apple Store.  It was packed, and about 85 degrees in there.  Ryan was discussing options for his phone with an employee, and I was playing with one of the iPhone 6's on the display.  After a few minutes I got a familiar feeling of my head feeling funny and feeling weak.  I knew I had to get out of there so I tapped Ryan on the shoulder and told him I was going to step out for a minute.  He asked me if I was feeling ok, as I made a "so-so" motion with my hand I apparently began to fall.  The next thing I know I'm waking up out of a funky dream and Ryan is looking down at me along with the Apple guy.

Fortunately Ryan was able to "catch me" and lower me to the ground, making sure I didn't hit my head (or belly).  He said I was only out for a few seconds.  The staff handled it well, brought me some water and a chair, and the day was pretty uneventful after that.  I felt normal again after a couple minutes.  I do have a bruise on my back when I kinda leaned/fell into the table, but I'm thankful that Ryan was there to protect my head and belly.

We had lunch at Zoup! and headed home.  Ryan went for a run and when he got back we made some salmon burgers for lunch.  They turned out really good, we will definitely be making them again.  

This week is our last full week before our trip to Sarasota, FL.  Can't wait to get down there!
