We had a great time this weekend ziplining with Canopy Tours NW on Camano Island. Dave was happy to get the opportunity and Mandy is just glad to be alive. We brought a video camera along and captured the fun. Take a look!
Heck Yeah! Science Says Eat Dessert for Breakfast!
Well this is just amazing.
A new study found that dieters who ate DESSERT with breakfast every morning lost an average of FORTY POUNDS more in 32 weeks than dieters who didn't.
Why? Two reasons. One, if you eat dessert in the morning it spikes your metabolism and gives you all day to burn it off. And two, it fights your dessert cravings.
As cheesy as that title may sound, we found this list to be pretty powerful - and accurate! Enjoy!
1. Get enough sleep - It makes you smarter, nicer and better problem-solver. You’ll also have fewer traffic accidents, fewer health problems and a stronger sex drive. And, according to Web MD, you’ll even lose weight and live longer. Technically you can live on 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night, but you’ll live better if you get 8.
2. Say yes with enthusiasm - If you’re going to be on the committee, tell them you’re delighted. If you take the kids to a water park, be the first one to jump in. There are absolutely no benefits to being lukewarm. Enthusiasm is contagious and it increases the likelihood that things will turn out fabulous.
3. Say no without guilt - If you can’t get excited about something, don’t do it! Nothing sucks the life out of a project or outing faster than begrudging participation. You’re not doing anyone any favors by agreeing to something you loath. When you say no, you open the door up for someone else to say yes.
4. Smile at people - It’s free and works wonders. It makes you look younger and more attractive. It also gets you better service in restaurants, boosts your immune system, and relieves stress. Scientific studies show that smiling can actually trick your body into changing your mood. Smile at 20 people a day, and see what happens.
5. Assume people are nice - Sure, you’ll get burned a few times. But you’ll also be right 99% of the time and you’ll save yourself a lifetime of worrying about who is trying to do you wrong. Imagine how nice it would be to go into every interaction confident that the other person is on your side.
6. Recognize your own power - You’re part of every experience you have. Whether it’s your family, your work or your church – you’re one of the people who sets the tone. You have the power to make every situation better or worse. You don’t have to dominate, just decide that you’re going to be an additive person not a subtractive one.
7. Be grateful - Gratitude is like a gateway drug, it leads you to other things, most notably happiness. Think about every miserable person you know, and you’ll see a total absence of gratitude. We tend to believe that something good has to happen for us to be happy, but that’s not how it works. We’re grateful first – grateful for the promotion, the healthy baby or vacation. It’s the gratitude that floods us with joy, not the event. If you want to be happier, start being more grateful. Make a list of the good things in your life and put it beside your bed. Read it before you go to sleep and right after you wake up.
MOVIES!
Here it is - Your list of...
GREAT MOVIES NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE SEEN!
These were submitted to Dave and Shari by phone, email and facebook on Tuesday, June 7. You guys put together a pretty impressive list of under-seen flicks! There's a little of everything here.
These are not all "family friendly", which is why we link to movie info - you know, so you can make parent decisions and stuff. We've put them in order of ratings so it won't be hard to stop when you get to the less kid-friendly stuff. Interestingly, there are no G films here. And a lot of R.
And we're pretty sure there isn't a single person who will like all of these. So use your own taste and judgment and such. But you knew that.
* We tried to give proper credit to everyone for their picks. If we mis-labeled or linked to the wrong flick on any of these, drop us an email at dave.shari@yahoo.com and we'll fix it!
Our Coyote
This Coyote often hunts for breakfast outside our studio window. Sometimes, when we sound particularly flummoxed, it's because we're watching this going on outside. But only sometimes.
Sometimes, we see the coyote catch breakfast. But not this morning. The snow seemed to make the hunt pretty challenging.
Grandma Ruby's Death Weenies!
Okay, not really..... as long as you don't eat them every day you should be okay. This is a recipe from my Southern Granny Ruby although there are many different versions out there.
* * 1 pkg small cocktail wieners, (I used little smokies)
* * 1 pkg bacon (I use the center cut....a little less grease and fat)
* * Brown sugar
Cut bacon in half (or thirds), wrap around smokies. Secure with toothpick, place on old cookie sheet. Sprinkle liberally with brown sugar.
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, until bacon is crispy and brown sugar has caramelized
***These are really messy and will destroy your good cookie sheets so use the old ones your kids have already destroyed!
Well this is just amazing. 
We all know that the color of roses have different meanings. But do you know the SECRET MESSAGES behind the number of roses you get from your sweetie?
Dave's Mother, Robbie, filled in on the morning show and brought in some pictures of Dave as a kid.
