Boys and their Toys

I'm not sure how your better half is...but my hubs loves his toys, especially when A. it's a NEW toy and, B. the new toy has anything to do with a board.
Last week Marc went with me to a work event, and as I rushed home to pick him up, I ran inside and noticed this big long box, but didn't have a clue why Marc's name was on the package?? In a frenzy to get out the door, Jeff says "Did you see Marc's stick!?"...Umm...What??!! (not what I excepted my Father-in-Law to ask...ummm...ever. haha!) In total confusion I shook my head and as I ran out the door he tried to explain but I'll i got was, "He'll show you with his board." As I got into the truck, I immediately asked Marc about his "stick". Thus the mystery of this stick was solved. My lovely husband has been on this health kick, not only by eating better but he's also been working on his fitness AND apparently he's been researching this new toy called the Kahuna Big Stick. He says it's totally for working out, but I think he got it for more of a fun factor. ;) I mean, who am I to judge when I get just as excited for a new purse and say, "I really needed it" when I really mean it was cute and I wanted it. Anywho, this Kahuna Stick is made for long-board skateboards, so it's like paddle boarding, but on land! Funny thing is, Marc's riding my long board I got for my 21st Birthday (I'm glad someone is using it!). So, ever since Marc got his new toy, he's been asking me to take some video of him so he can share it with the Kahuna Big Stick facebook page....tonight I finally got home before the sun went down to take some video of him in action. It's actually really neat to watch and Marc claims it's a great workout! Enjoy the videos...Oh! and Ride Hard and Carry a Big Stick! ;p

His feet are switched on this one (that's why he's going slow), but I just love his smile at the end of the video so I had to post it. ;)

Celeb spotting!! Looks like Matthew McConaughey has a Kahuna Big Stick too!!

You learn something NEW everyday!

If I had a refrigerator, you know what would be on there? My husband's report card. Yup! I am one proud wifey and I'm gonna brag a bit about my hubby. I have never seen someone study as much as he does, he has received straight A's every semester he's been back at school. He just recently finished his first semester at U of LaVerne, and got an A and a B+!  Seriously, he is so dedicated he took a test on our wedding day, no joke. Although, the computer gets more face time than I do lately, I know it's worth it and he is doing something that he wants to do and that makes me very proud of him. :) 

This summer he took a technology class...eerrr, uhh...well something about computer operating systems and a bunch of other stuff he told me about that is way over my head. BUT, I did listen to one thing he informed me about! While I've been trying to face-lift the blog, I noticed blogs I read have this symbol and it sometimes reads RSS. I never really understood what it was until my incredibly smart hubby told me what it meant; Really Simple Syndication, in simpler terms it means, web feed. It's a way for publishers of blogs, news, etc.  syndicate content automatically. It's a benefit for readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. It's great for a blog because if you aren't an avid blog reader (like me), you can subscribe to a blog by simply clicking on the RSS icon and you'll receive an email every time there's a new post. Pretty neat huh!? I learned my something new that day and added the RSS icon to our blog, see it on the right hand side? ;) I feel like a techy now! Make sure you subscribe if you don't visit our blog all the time! Oh, and if you do stop by, make sure you become a "follower" and leave a comment, anyone can comment even if you don't have a blogger account. I hope you like the new face-lift!
