miscellany monday

happy monday everyone – i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s miscellany monday party!  check out carissa’s blog here and join in on the fun. 

{one} hot and spicy.  i’m watching the food network’s the best thing i ever ate: hot and spicy.  and i want to try everything that they are listing...it all looks really good.  i love spicy foods, not fire engine hot, but something that has a little kick.  do you like spicy food?  my favorite foods are from Jamaica (i.e. jerk chicken or pork)…most of the meals have a little heat to them.  i also love thai and indian curry entrees…i love the flavor and the spices. 

{two} working out.  i went to the gym after work today and had an amazing workout.  in my opinion a good workout is when you workout your entire body and your clothes are covered with sweat.  i went to a class tonight that combines martial arts and self defense movements with cardio training.  i left the gym feeling physically exhausted, but i was happy that i burned a lot of calories.  i’ll be back to running tomorrow.   

{three} giveaways.  i’m super excited to let you know that there are 3 giveaways going on right now for various gift cards.  good luck everyone.
