something to do
New and Old
I always tell myself to take it easy and pace myself for these things. But then when the time comes, and class starts, I get so excited, go a little cray, and then it hurts to be alive by the end of the day. I’ve already learned so much –lots of new moves for upcoming…

Cranberry avocado salad
It’s rare for me to have a case of the moan-days, since I love being able to spend the day with Liv. We’ll do the usual thing (play, read books, go on a fun adventure. meet up with friends or just take it easy) and yesterday, I only had one thing in mind that I…

Apple tart for one
Yesterday, I got to teach the Tabata class at work. My friend, who has it every week, is recovering from a triathlon and said, “Hey Gina, will you teach today?” Um, is the Pope Catholic? Even though I’m not new to Tabata, the class is very structured with specific moves for each round and recovery…

{meat}loafing around
Instead of my 4-miler, we had a bit of a fiasco. We were at Sabino Canyon and the Pilot twisted his ankle walking in from the parking lot. The poor guy has been hobbling around the house, and will probably have to make a doc visit soon :/ He offered to take Liv home and…

Sometimes, late at night, the Pilot and I will look each other in the eyes and we know. Froyo. “Do you want to go, or you want me to?” Thank goodness BTO is open late, aaaaand they have an awesome variety of dairy-free flavors and tons of toppings. I think we’ve mastered the art of…

Quick shrimp and quinoa stir fry
I took about 30 minutes yesterday to prep some goodies for the week: Ballz Steamed eggs and quinoa and dinner was one of those one-pot wonders where everything came together to make a delicious, quick and satisfying meal. I just threw some ingredients into the pot, said a silent prayer to the cooking gods, and…

Come glide with me, let’s glide let’s glide awaaayyyyyyyy… I’m playing with the gliders on my lunch break because instead of Zumba, I’m teaching a glide class this afternoon. It’s my first time, so I want to make sure I have enough moves in my back pocket. The whole family is joining in on the…

Friday, it’s good to see ya. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! We’re wrapping up 2 weeks of night flying with the Pilot, which was after him being gone for 2 weeks, so I’m excited to hang out with him again on a regular basis. This week, he’s come home in the middle of…

I was like Christmas today. First, I got to sleep in. The Pilot has been flying and working nights all week, so I haven’t seen him very much. He got home past midnight last night and we were all in bed, I gave him a groggy smooch and passed back out, and this morning, I…

It was a day full of good things. First off, I found a new {air-conditioned!} place to take Liv during the day: the library. I had a card in Orlando since I loved to borrow books on CD for long commutes, but forgot to get one a new one in Tucson. We remedied that today!…

I can’t believe the Olympics are over! It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve really gotten into it -I’ve always loved the Olympics but am not usually home during the day, so I missed quite a bit of the last couple summer Olympics. Since I’ve been here playing with Liv, I’ve kept…

Planes, things and reps
“Oh, I smell you’ve been cheating on me.” As soon as Bella finished running laps in excitement when I picked her up from madre’s yesterday, she stopped to smell the lab scent that covered me, belonging to Jeni’s dog, Whiskey, who I canoodled with all weekend. (Had to type out the full story because it…
