Tinsel Hair

As much as I love all holiday decorations and wintery things (SNOWMEN!), thereโ€™s one thatโ€™s not really my fave:ย Source tinsel. Itโ€™s made a comeback in the holiday decorating world over the past few years, but I canโ€™t help but think of how hard it would be to clean up (especially with an artificial tree) and…

End it in pizookie

Any night that ends in โ€œpizookieโ€ is a good one. After the dance show last night, the Pilot and I each munched something random to hold us over until we determined what the rest of dinner would be. [I had a couple of sweet potatoes with goat cheese, and I have no idea what he…

My day in one photo

Here is my day in a picture. Hereโ€™s what it says: -I overslept -Couldnโ€™t find matching socks to save my life. The best I could do was two pink ones -Had to race home in between classes because the Pilot locked himself out of the houseโ€ฆ and he was wearing shorts in 40* weather. Poor…

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…

I die for Thai

San Diego created a monster. I had my first Thai experience, and since then have been dreaming of wrapping everything in rice paper and dipping it in peanut sauce. So when I was trying to figure out dinner last night โ€“we usually go out, or get takeout on Saturdays- I said: โ€œDoyouwantpizzafordinner orโ€ฆ would you…

‘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…

a better Bella

What a fabulously lazy Sunday We slept in and then met up with the fam at Millieโ€™s Pancake House for breakfast. Itโ€™s pretty much the spot for brotherโ€™s breakfast, so the boys go there often, but I havenโ€™t had a full meal there in years. Millieโ€™s is a cute little place, and I love that…

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 Iโ€™ll get up around 6:45), so usually I sleep until he leaves for…

T-giving recipe radar

Itโ€™s definitely back to the grind over hereโ€ฆ [Egg sandwich + Larabar taken to work] and it feels good ๐Ÿ™‚ I taught two classes (and assisted one) this morning, and am back home for a little lunch break before Zumba and Tubing. This is what it looks like.. when a refrigerator cries I scraped the…

You stay classy, San Diego

After an afternoon of driving, the Journey station on Pandora, lots of reminiscing and goofing around, many stops to stretch my swollen ankles (and randomly seeing a friend of mine at a California gas station!) we made it ๐Ÿ™‚ Itโ€™s absolutely GORGEOUS here. Itโ€™s been quite a few years since Iโ€™ve been to San Diego…

Gym Class Etiquette

Weโ€™ve probably all been there: trying not to give the stink eye to the two people chatting in spin class holding our breath as the guy who wore an entire bottle of cologne to the gym is next to us on the treadmill Source a little shocked when someone stops in between sets during weight-lifting…

BB and Oats

Morning! How are ya? Hope your day has been lovely so far <3 While I was yoga-ing my little heart out last night, the Pilot was doing some of this: watching the Wilcats dominate last nightโ€™s bball game. Tickets are pretty impossible to get, and a friend from work couldnโ€™t go, so he took my…
