All and nothing

Today was one of those days where I felt busy all day, but donโ€™t feel like I accomplished that much. Hereโ€™s to more productivity tomorrow. I did get in a workout (Zuuuuuumba) and went to hang out with my work friends for a little while. Iโ€™m on call this week, so since I didnโ€™t need…

Mental health day

I think itโ€™s pretty apparent from reading the blog that the Pilot works a lot, and works extremely hard. Even when heโ€™s home on the weekends, heโ€™s been working on house stuff (lots of master bedroom, office and nursery furniture assembly lately) since we moved in. He had a couple of extra days off work…

We were all over Tucson, running from doc appointments, elf errands, BX, grocery store, PetSmartโ€ฆ and I only took a few pics throughout the day :/ My lunch from Reneeโ€™s Organic Oven:   Tonightโ€™s dinner: (rotisserie chicken, Alexia fries and salad with beets, arugula, goat…

Workout quickie: Stability Ball Blitz

Maybe I should have just braved the eye claw. Iโ€™ve worn contacts since 4th grade, and really havenโ€™t had any probs with them until now. They discontinued the style Iโ€™ve worn for years, so Iโ€™ve been trying to find another brand/style that will work. The eye doc gave me a pair thatโ€™s fantastic, but you…

3 Little Javelinas

is a lovely childrenโ€™s story that was read to pretty much every Arizona child while they were young. Itโ€™s like a southwestern version of โ€œThe Three Little Pigs.โ€ Even though Iโ€™ve always known about javelinas, Iโ€™ve only seen them from afar. A guest walked into my tubing class today and said โ€œI saw a wild…

“Baby, it’s cold outside” workout

I donโ€™t think Bell has a problem with her sporadic walking schedule since the weather has changed. We still play around the house to get the crazies out: sheโ€™s a fetch pro yesterday, we chased around the yard (she went into full on sprint mode! see the dirty paws?) and today, we snuggled on the…

Pucker up

Guess who I got to kiss today?! Viesa! I was so excited to see her furry face. We went over to hang out with little Meg, my doula friend (Viesaโ€™s new mom) and her family, so we got to cuddle Vies the whole time we were there. Love it <3 Of course, when we got…

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving

and all through the house not a Gina was cooking neither was her spouse.โ€ What was supposed to be โ€œcookstravaganza as soon as I get home from workโ€ turned into โ€œletโ€™s watch Family Guyโ€ instead. I may or may not have fallen asleep.   Itโ€™s a good thing I work better under pressure ๐Ÿ˜‰ Work…

Lovely day for a tour

Itโ€™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…
