Random goals + TABATA THURSDAY!

All I have for ya from yesterday are pictures of my dessert: (red wine and a “baked” apple with cinnamon- a little butter, cinnamon, chopped apple, microwaved for 2 minutes) and our Bollywood costume: a gorgeous printed skirt, jingle belt and an anklet. I got to teach Zumba, assist Hip Hop and assist Bollywood- it…

Chip dance

Whenever the Pilot flies at night, I try to bring on the rain so that his flight is canceled and he comes home. So nice, huh? Last night, in typical Gina fashion, I did the rain dance, and the chip dance.ย  I was just going to have a couple handfuls but then I dominated the…

Fig, goat cheese + asparagus salad

It’s dance week at work. I always get so excited for dance week because we offer extra classes, taught by professional choreographers and dancers that come stay at the resort, and have a little recital so the guests can perform what they’ve learned. The dance fitness instructors always do a number, too, (this time it’s…

8/21: Thoughts from the week

-Thank you so much for all of the awesome car seat tips and recommendations! I’m excited to check out the brands the you listed and decide soon. Little miss is getting to be too tall for her seat, and while we’re going to keep her rear-facing as long as possible, she’ll be more comfortable in…

How do you like your almond butter?

(Besides the direct transfer from spoon to face) Thank you so much for all of the kind words about Tucker’s return. Within minutes of putting the post up, my friend Carrie found him on Craigslist! He’ll be back home with my family today. Social media is an incredible thing, indeed.ย  While I waited for news…

Looking for Tucker- found!!

No *real* post today.. I’m in a sad mood and have been in a bit of a funk. No run this morning- I looked at my planner last night to see that I had an early appt so I quickly texted my friend to cancel some other things and my family’s dog, Tucker has been…

Time for a toddler seat

Liv wants to walk more than anything. She pulls herself up on whatever she can -whether it’s a stable surface or not, like a pillow- and takes a step away from it. She hasn’t quite figured out the whole strength/balance combo when it comes to walking, but I love the way she just goes for…

Running or snoozing + Jump Rope Strength Workout

I’m running right now. Well, I’m *supposed* to be running right now, so let’s hope that I actually woke up on time, got dressed and made it out there. A friend is meeting me, so that’s always good motivation to not be a bad friend bum and get myself up and at ’em. I don’t…

Things I can laugh about now

(Head’s up: some of these are a little gross, but the Family page is also the TMI page) -The fact that Tom and I used to celebrate when we would get Livi to fall asleep before the Jewel lullaby CD was over. (Sometimes we had to play it two or three times before she would…

5 Years

You know this thing we have going on? I kinda like it.ย  The way you smell like jet fuel when you get home from a flight, the way you know to catch me when I jump into your arms, the way Olivia smiles at you and kicks her feet because she’s so happy to see…
