Wait dance

Hey everyone! I’m sorry for all of the blog down time yesterday. The blog crashed the server, so the hosting company shut it down. My awesome web wizard was hard at work fixing the problem and making changes, and since I’m not techie at all (if I touch the blog, something catches fire and then…

Slow cooker rotisserie chicken

It’s always hard to leave for work on Saturdays, when the Pilot and Oliv are home. ย  At the same time, it’s pretty amazing that they get a daddy-daughter day each week.ย  (Look at her face! “Yeah, just chillin’ in the pool with my daddy. You know”) Yesterday, while I was Zumba-ing, they spent the…

My skin is turning orange

Ok, salmon can’t really do that, but I’ve had a lot of it this week:ย  It’s funny because way back in the dieting days, I avoided fats (even healthy fats) like the plague. I like to think I’m making up for lost time. Not only do they taste amazing, but I notice a huge difference…

Vacay workouts

When I go out of town, my workout strategy varies, depending on what kind of trip it is and how I’m feeling. If the trip is for blog or work-related stuff, it’s pretty much like my normal schedule (whatever normal at the time may be), if it’s a family trip, I fit it in where…

Walking into spiderwebs

How’s your weekend going so far? Yesterday was Family Friday at the squadron bar. It was great to catch up with the wives (the theme was Hawaiian BBQ) and hold Livi while she sucked on cantaloupe- she LOVED it- and we all had a lot of fun. Last night was also my last Friday night…

Mite-y

Have you tried this stuff before? Vegemite! It’s huge in Australia, and I’ve become good friends with a girl who is staying in Tucson from Australia for a while. Yesterday, I asked her if she liked Vegemite, and she said, “I have tubes of it in my room! I’ll bring you one.” Today we had…

Make it happen

Hey! How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? We had an awesome, restful and low-key weekend over here. Yesterday, the Pilot told me to go get a massage (twist my arm, eh?) and it was probably the best I’ve ever ย had- my hair is still greasy from the oils, haha. After my experience with prenatal…

Nice things

-My friend Katie saving me at work yesterday. When I first started (a little over a year ago), I quickly learned that since our schedules change throughout the day, we need to be prepared for anything. Weight room, teaching, Zumba and pool all have different outfits/shoes. Well, I *thought* pool was my last class yesterday,…

Music Monday playlist

Good morning! Happy new week to ya ๐Ÿ™‚ I think we all woke up with a case of the “smushy face” over here. Sometimes when Bella wakes up, half of her face is smushed up and we’ll call her smushy face. I slept horribly last night. I have no idea if it was the wine…
