Purple shoes for Zumba (see the blanket of pollen on the ground? Not so fun) this button on the Pilot’s new wheels (I got scary excited when I saw it. The button transfers the balance to the back part of the SUV, perfection for tailgaiting) and a tamale. Party in my mouth. Our family tamale…

You know the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and his Windex? That’s me and the foam roller. It helps with everything, from sore hamstrings to a broken heart. I tell everyone that it “hurts so good” – that is, if you like a little pain. So I wouldn’t recommend it in every possible…

I’m finally back home for good- lots of fun and running around today! Work, car shopping and a party at a friends’ house. In between classes, I came back home to grab a sweet potato with almond butter, and take a smoothie back with me. (my #smoothieaday was mango, spinach, Sun Warrior, hemp seeds, almond…

Slow cooker shredded Mexican chicken
A glass of wine and jammies = pretty much the best way to cap off a Monday night. Or any night, really. When are you too old to wear the PINK collection? Actually, don’t answer that. Some other highlights from the day: –The Schweaty May workout Mom came over in the afternoon to hang…

The Pilot’s girlfriend
I’ve gotten a few requests about giving relationship tips, dealing with deployments, how the Pilot and I keep from fighting, stuff of the like. My only real relationship tips are: you’re a team, don’t nitpick the little things that don’t really matter, and do something everyday to show the other person you love them. As…

The sound of silence
We enjoyed last night’s taco dinner sans the usual background music of the TV. Our satellite provider was having some issues, so we turned the TV off for the night. I can’t believe how peaceful it was without it.. but I will be excited to catch up on Giuliana and Bill later today 🙂 Work…
