C and R "No we aren't married!" Hahahaha
Monte getting into trouble. Someone left the guest bedroom door open long enough for both the boys to get in and of course Monte found the ribbon on x-mas presents straight away. The evidence was presented this morning. God I hope that was all of it. I hear nightmare stories about ribbon being wrapped around intestines. He seems to be doing okay though. What can I say we Hansens know how to party hardy.
Hubby and I stayed up and played Magic (I TOLD you we are geeks!) so that I could finish the riesling. We couldn't fit the bottle back in the fridge with the stopper so i HAD to finish it. In retrospect I think I have smaller stoppers from Mandi and Torrence somewhere. Ah well. I paid for it with a severe headache this morning. A called and bailed on swimming so tomorrows tri should be interesting to say the least. I think Su may have paid A off ;) So that I will be of no concern on the swim leg.
Looking For That Special Gift?
Give a gift that helps out one of my fave charities! Turpentine Creek!
They have opened an online store now Suhweet!
I have been down to Turpentine Creek a few times with my family and husband. We have pictures with BamBam, Heather, Joann, and KC.
I fell in love with Vada on my first visit and on our next visit Kenny. White tigers have always been my favorite cats and black leopards are a close second.
If you are looking for an interesting place to visit on your next vacation Eureka Springs Arkansas is an awesome little town! And as an added bonus you can stop by and visit my kitties and even schedule a photo shoot with one of the tigers or cougars! (If you do end up at Turpentine Creek please say hi to Patricia the secretary for me!) We miss you Patti!
If any of your loved ones love big cats any of these items would make an excellent gift and you would be helping out these wonderful animals too!
If you are still looking for something for me I am of course partial to the items featuring Kenny :)

The calm before the storm
It is supposed to snow 5-6 inches tonight. But luckily it is all supposed to hit before 7AM. Just in case I brought work home for tomorrow.
Tomorrow night is the big housewarming party. 30 people have RSVPed that they are coming. I guess we are going to find out what our capacity is!
Randy is here tonight. He got to drive through the snow that is coming our way. He brought Ruth's famous cookies. I doubt there will be any left for the party tomorrow. I think I ate half of them myself tonight.
Haven't found a permanent solution on the pool but I am going to swim Sat with A so at least I will get in SOME sort of swimming before the indoor tri this Sunday. I am definitely going to need to work off all the food I will eat tomorrow!
The cats have been up to no good tonight. They were terrified when I vacuumed and of course they haven't experienced the doorbell yet so that freaked them out. But of course once they realized it was their friend Randy they warmed up. Now they are lounging around per their usual routine. I am sure they will be crying when he heads for bed as the one room they are not allowed in is the guest bedroom. So of course that is the one place they want to be :)
We just finished a VERY close game of Catan. Of course I lost again! But I seriously almost won. No really.
Hopefully I will have lots of fun party pics to post tomorrow. For now here's more of the cats.

Random Photo Blogging
Hubby Playing Video Games. Ahh how nice it is to be done with everything around the house...for now :)
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Okay I realize it is Wednesday but in my search for songs you know U2 was going to come up! Sunday Bloody Sunday may very well be my favorite song. But that is not why I am posting this vid. I am posting it because Sunday I got my hair chopped a wee bit and before it was chopped it was starting to look a bit like Bono's in this vid :) HAHA no really it was getting out of control!
This pic doesn't really show off the new do but it is as good as you are going to get for now.
Space
I am now officially sitting back and enjoying all of the space I have in my new home (with a brew nonetheless)! Last night we finally got everything put in its place and all boxes were finally unpacked and/or stored away forever.
IT FEELS GOOD!!!
Of course there will be more cleaning of the regular ho hum variety etc. but that can wait until Thursday :)
Oh and I also cleaned up the blog a bit. IE viewers should now see the links at the top of their page again and the local blog list should be showing up. Why can't you all just get Firefox huh? ;)
Tonights run went well. I was feeling defiant and refused to do most of the hill repeats. I feel justified because I was the only one who did 4 loops tonight. And let me tell you the one hill repeat I did do wreaked havoc on my hind quarters. I feel like I went to Susan's Butt Camp! Dang! My body was just not happy about hills tonight!
Got in around 8.5 miles. Who knows how far the two hills and the bathroom detour were. I need to be less OCD about my splits anyways.
They went something like this though ;)
loop 1 (2 miles) 15:45
loop 2 including bathroom trip 18:28
loop 3 17:54
hill 1 "easy up" 2:18
down 2:27
hill 2 hard up 1:44
down and to the mile marker 4:10
loop 4 17:51
Thanks to B2 for doing the first loop with me before everyone showed. B and CK wimped out on that. And big thanks to SU for being defiant with me. I would have seriously regretted doing 4 of those killer hills and I was glad someone else agreed with me. Plus who the heck wants to do repeats on ice? NOT ME!
So I am liking the videos although I would prefer to be able to just add audio clips sometimes. Anyone know of a free site for that? I haven't been able to find something good yet. I am getting frustrated as half the songs I would like to play either don't have videos up or the videos SUCK. Musicians if you are going to make a video to go with your good music, PLEASE make it a good video too!!! I am a huge OASIS fan but let me tell you, so far the videos I have looked at from them...COMPLETE CRAP!
On that note I am off to bed kids. Hopefully the search for a pool and gym will progress forward tomorrow!

Need to get with it
I need to find a pool/gym with the quickness. I was spoiled at the apartment with a free pool and fitness center.
If there are any east side clevelanders lurking out there now is the time to show yourselves! I need your help! I don't want to get stuck with a crap gym/pool and the membership fees that go along with it.
Anyone have any input on the downtown YMCA? The membership fees are a bit pricey but you get free access to all other greater Cleveland YMCAs...
My primary need in a gym is a good 25 yard to 25 meter pool. Secondary is some good spinning classes. A bonus would be an indoor track. I would just suck it up and join Peak Performance down in Broadview Heights but it is a bit expensive and the drive might kill me. So I would much prefer to find something closer to Euclid or Downtown.
Any feedback/advice is much appreciated! I would really like to settle on this today or tomorrow as I need to get back in the pool before the indoor tri on Sunday!

Prepare to Drool
Presenting a photo documentary of the Hansen candy making extravaganza 2005.
The tallies are in and we made a s*^tload of candy! :)
I would have to check with my MIL but this is my estimate.
246 Turtles
191 Buckeyes
175 Logs
86 Peanut Clusters
23 Coconut Clusters
12 Pecan clusters
2 trays of white mint chocolate (white chocolate with broken candy canes)
1.5 trays of rice crispy treat milk chocolate
50 dark mint chocolate Santa molds
lots of dark chocolate mint mini holly molds (much too small to count!)
28 white chocolate bell molds
24 white chocolate tree molds
4 green chocolate tree molds
12 big green chocolate holly molds
9 big green chocolate wreath molds
20 small green chocolate wreath molds
I don't think I missed anything.
This year we skipped out on doing rice crispy Santa molds and I think that saved a TON of time. Those molds are a PAIN! Way too many bubbles!.
As an added bonus we were much quicker and tidier this year. The whole process start (rolling out buckeyes and caramel (MIL makes the buckeye mix beforehand)) to finish (boxing candy and cleaning up) went from 10 AM to 10:30 PM. Not too shabby! Of course I was exhausted all the same.
This chocolate is divine. I may have tasted a bit more than my fair share yesterday. I will have to hide the extra chocolate from myself until the housewarming party.
I am going to let you in on the secret to wonderful tasting homemade chocolate. It is all in the wafers! The best melting chocolate to use is Merckens (Not sure about the spelling). Lucky for us we have a shop that sells the Merckens wafers nearby. You don't use any wax with these things! Just melt and dip and/or pour. 100% Tasty!
I slept in this morning so I am looking forward to a solo run later and lots of organizing in the home "office" :)
It snowed more last night so I will also probably get out and do some shoveling. I am under the impression that our street does not get any professional plowing done, ever. It was a sheet of ice last night while the rest of our towns main streets were fine.

I want to know
who the heck called my cell at 6:20 AM this morning with restricted ID?
Whoever it is, they suck! It made me think the roads were bad and I was getting out of the hour drive to the group run. But no it was just someone wanting to call and wake me up with dead air. So I am making my tea tying my hair in pigtails and putting in my contacts. Ready to head out for the TNT morning running.
Then...making candy ALL DAY LONG! This is a huge affair. We supply what must be about 20% of the greater Cleveland area (this may be slightly exaggerated but we probably make about 20-40 lbs of candy) with delicious chocolate but once a year. This is a tradition my MIL and GMIL (grandmother!) have been doing for years. Since my MIL actual daughter is no longer in the state I have become a part of the tradition. The end product is so worth the 10-14 hours of candy making! I just hope there is enough this year now that I have made more friends that need candy!

Driving Home with Elizabeth
Thank goodness NPR was there to entertain me on the way home tonight! I waited to leave until about 7:30. The drive was only about 10 minutes longer than usual but the roads were a mess. Gotta love living in the snowbelt!
Since I hit about every red and I had the camera out from taking pics of the car that went a bit astray I took some video of the conditions so all of you in sunny places could get a feel for good ole Ohio driving in the winter! Don't worry all I did was sit the cam on the dashboard and hit the go button. Not dangerous at all!

More Driving
Watching these I realize I probably should have given some commentary. Then again I don't like the sound of my voice so you will have to settle for NPR!
And more
Note the wonderful plow job on my street.
I think I missed taping the Dave Brubeck interview for you all because that was on the highway. How I do love his music :) It inspired me to play tonight but alas I decided getting organized for the house party was more important and have been putting away our CD collection. At least I have been listening to good tunes in the meantime.
SNOWY!
It has been snowing like a mother since I got in to work today until about 30 minutes ago. The roads are not that bad but all the traffic reports I have seen are terrible.
So I have been tidying up my office, cleaning other coworkers dishes, doing a virus scan, etc.. All in an effort to keep myself busy while sitting here waiting until traffic is a little more sensible to drive in. I would throw on my running clothes and go run but none of the sidewalks downtown are cleared and there are plenty of cars swerving all over the place making me want to avoid the roads. And I think sitting in traffic for an hour is just pointless when I can at least do semi-productive things around here. If the traffic doesn't get better in the next 30 I may go eat somewhere downtown...
I am hoping once I get home that I can get out into the snow for a quick run and then I think I might just make a snowman. Ahh the joys of owning a yard!!!
Met one of the neighbors last night (and her dog). She seems nice. I think a lot of the neighborhood is dog homes but she pointed out a few cat friendly homes, said she had noticed my boys in the windows. Not too surprising although they are a wee bit big for the ledges.
On a running note I am skipping out on the Buckeye 50k in jan. I am going to hold off and do a 50k next winter or summer 2007.
For all you people out west I am going to be in Arizona (Scottsdale) for a week in January and I want to run on some good trails. Any recommendations?

Aha!
Through clever deductions I located the bedskirt. Lo and behold it was actually in a semi logical place. Someone decided it should go in the linens closet with all of our extra sheets and bedding. Imagine my surprise finding something in a place it might actually belong! Wonders never cease to amaze! (did I get that right Eostre? I almost wrote wonders never cease!)
Last night I got in a quick run to the video store and back. I went a little extra around the next block to check out those houses and holiday lights. Nice houses but none of them have cute enclosed porches like all the houses on our street :)

Has anyone seen my bedskirt?
Your mission, should you choose to accept
Your orders are: to find one, missing bedskirt
The whereabouts of said bedskirt have been unknown as of 11/12/05, the day of THE MOVE.
Obvious locations have been checked (like in the box with the rest of the bedding)
We're counting on you to find said bedskirt before the housewarming party or we shall be forced to buy new bedding.
Best of Luck

Went to the new Tuesday Locale again tonight. Once again got there early enough to do a loop with B. I forgot my contacts so I couldn't see much but the trail. It was still pretty warm, I started in shorts and a long sleeve but changed into a short sleeve after the first loop. If it hadn't been so windy I would have opted for the sports bra only. It is going to get cold quick though. I could feel it.
Right when we started B says he thinks I will like the Mizuno's, I am like how the heck did you know I got Mizuno's? Thought to myself there is no way he checks my blog so how the heck did he know about the shoes, I just got them last night! This proves that there is a difference between men and women. First thing the boyos check out is a runners gear. He noticed I had Mizuno's on right away. Bizarre, but then again without the contacts all I could see were white blurs where my feet should be.
The shoes felt good throughout the workout. The ball of my right foot was a little sore but I think that is just my feet, not the shoe. We shall see how they shape up over the next week.
B2, Su, and CK show up as we finish the first loop so we head out for another 3 loops with some hill intervals on the 2nd loop. This week we did 2 on the first hill and 2 on the last hill. Dang the last hill is a heck of a lot longer than the first!
Boring Stats:
loop 1 (2 miles): 17:05
loop 2: 18:02
loop 3: 0:55, hill 1 up: 1:01, down: 1:21, up:54, 14:04 continuing loop, hill2 up: 1:44, down: 2:12, up: 1:35 continue loop: 4:16
loop 4: 15:14
Total around 9-9.5 miles in 1:18:28.
I am happy with it.
Totally forgot to mention that Sunday I went with CK and checked out a local cyclocross event. Holy Crud! Those people are seriously hardcore! Pics to follow.
