Lovely day for a tour

It’s a gorgeous day today. Slightly cloudy and cool, perfect to leave the door to the backyard open so Miss Bell can run amuck and ideal for the Tour de Tucson, which started this morning. El Tour de Tucson is a huge road cycling event, held the weekend before Thanksgiving, and as many as 9,000…

Bo is back?

I am a bit of a cranky pants today. Two nights ago, I hardly slept at all, and last night, I woke up twice and then again when the Pilot woke up. He always gets up an hour before me (5:45 and I’ll get up around 6:45), so usually I sleep until he leaves for…

The walk that wasn’t

Bella doesn’t even know what she missed out on. Whenever I ask her if she wants to go for a walk, she goes ccrrraazzzyy. She runs around, and as soon as she sees the harness, I have to catch her to actually put it on. She’s fine with the leash (and will even sit pretty…

Check out how creeptastic the Pilot looked! *shudders* His first time wearing guyliner 😉 Hayley and I were painted up, too: Tonight was the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration and parade downtown, so we definitely…

Look who’s here 🙂 My good friend Hayley from Hotlanta, in town for baby shower weekend! I was so excited that she said she’d be able to make it and spend the weekend with us. In Valdosta, she and her husband were our neighbors, and Hayley and I spent many days out by the pool,…

Still not quite there

Instead of my usual Thursday of teaching and Zumba, I spent the morning testing out the Schweaty November Workout, so it will be ready to go tomorrow! It was certainly schweaty, and please let me know if you have any current workout song faves to add to the playlist. I took today and Saturday off…

Nature’s candy

Such a glorious fall day <3 The weather for the farmer’s market was perfection so the Pilot, Bell and I walked around to check out all of the goods- it’s been a while since we hit up our favorite Sunday farmer’s market. They had the usual fare: salsas, preserves, tea, ethnic foods, local honey, organic…

Sunday morning

Lovely view Tempeh bacon Brunch for two <3 Since the only remedy for a lazy Saturday night is sleeping in (?), we slowly got up, were covered in morning kisses from Bella, and I made some bfast. Tempeh bacon <—if served on one plate, it isn’t as obvious that I’m the only one eating it…

Hope it’s been lovely so far <3 Something very surprising happened after breakfast this morning… Cereal satisfied for longer than it takes to refill a bowl.. again.. and again. It was my second time trying these strawberry flakes I picked up the other day: [This morning was my…
