Got this in my e-mail and I had to share!

at what point does relaxation just become lazy boredom?
Ice Festival Photos
Spent some time at the Ice Festival in Old Colorado City (Western Colorado Springs). Pretty warm so not a ton of ice, but we still had a pretty good time.
“Had a good time at the local Ice Festival. It was not very cold so there were not a lot of sculptures but we were able to watch an artist create a sculpture from a block of ice.”

Daves Spicy Chicken, Beans and Rice Soup
I made this for dinner tonight out of leftovers in the fridge, pretty much because I was too lazy to head to the store. I had no plan on writing this down, but surprisingly, my family loved this so I have to record it before I forget what went into it. I prepped it after lunch and allowed it to cook during the afternoon football games and it was done by dinner. I thought it was really good, and my son said it was tasty with just a little bit of “kick” which he really liked.
Prep Time: 15-20 Minutes Cook Time: 3 hrs 30 min

10 Cups of Water
1 Leftover Chicken Carcass
1 Onion (cut into 4 wedges)
4 Cups cooked & drained Pinto Beans

2 Chopped Green Chilies
1 Cup uncooked rice

New Years Eve 2011
Had a great time last night in Longmont celebrating New Years Eve. My In-Laws did a great job hosting their party!

Quiet night in
Well it is a cold and snowy night and so we stayed in tonight. A nice meal of BBQ’d ribs (from the oven not the the grill) . Followed by my very first HD movie streamed off the internet to the TV. The boy chose Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. All I can say is I am glad this “rental” was free, because I thought this movie was awful. A few funny moments but not nearly as good the first Cats and Dogs, which in my opinion, was mediocre at best.
We then played a round of Balderdash, which I of course won. All in all a good night.
