fear the froyo suit
Hi! Happy Tuesday! I’m stoked you guys enjoyed the first IDEA post. My second one will be up later today; so many pictures and adventures to share!
Since the Pilot worked late last night, Livi and I had a date together. We had dinner, went to Home Goods
(check out ALL THAT HALLOWEEN)
and Menchie’s. That’s how we like to party 😉
For the record, the Menchie’s ice cream suit is what toddler nightmares are made of.
Poor Liv was NOT a fan. I even think it made me lose her ice cream appetite because she asked for a balloon, and to go home, very shortly after CreepyFroyoDude2014.
Nightly class of red:
Spin class last night was amaaaazing. I’m only teaching one spin class each week and I always look forward to it. This week, I was so stoked to use the new Class Tamer app:
(the class got a kick out of the “whip” and “bike bell” sound effects I used)
and a recently pimped playlist, thanks to Jeffrey Scott. I added “Barracuda” by Fergie, an awesome “What a Feeling” Remix and this song:
I also had a doc appointment yesterday morning. Breakfast cookie dough cereal for the road:
They had Let’s Make a Deal playing in the waiting area and it’s the first time I’ve seen it! It reminded me of when I’d be home sick in middle and high school and basically watch TV and sleep all day. (Just typing “watch TV and sleep all day” made me drool a little.) Back in the day, I thoroughly enjoyed Wedding Story, A Baby Story (even though it moderately terrified me) and Regis and Kelly. Anyway, good news on the thumb front: no surgery! I did sever some nerves, which is why my thumb feels dead, but they said that time will help the nerves to grow back and heal. Like I said before, we will rebuild 😉 Bonus: I got a referral for acupuncture, so I’ll get to see a new practitioner. (If you live in Tucson, go see Larry or Josh at Tucson Community Acupuncture; they’re amazing.)
Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
xoxo

Something to do: This circuit workout! It’s a quick strength and cardio frenzy. Last time I did this one, I was drenched in sweat.

I used to love staying home sick to watch Regis and Kelly too! It will never be the same without Regis though, but I do enjoy Kelly and Michael sometimes !
i really like michael, but i feel like kelly and the show are entirely different now. regis was the best!
Thats great news on your finger. So glad no surgery. Awww poor Livi. Thanks for the IDEA recap.
Maybe when I visit San Diego I can take one of your classes. Have a great day.
Glad you don’t need surgery! Hope it feels better soon. I still watch Kelly and Michael when I’m home from work!
I NEVER liked those dressed up suit guys, except for Mickey/Minney/etc at Disney… 😉
that’s how liv is, too. at disney, she only really loves the characters that still look human
home goods and froyo is the stuff dreams are made of.
So glad to hear you don’t need surgery! And yes, those suits are super terrifying – not just to kids either.
Love that you end the night with a glass of red wine. That’s the best way to do it 🙂
Ahh it is too early for Halloween! Stores need to slow down. I’m still in summer mode.
same, but i love halloween and fall stuff!
Froyo is still the greatest…even if there are creepy froyo me (:
Poor Liv! CreepyFroyoDude2014 did however make me laugh out loud. I’m sure a huge relief for you that you don’t need surgery! Great news!
Hate to be a negative nancy……but I cringe a little whenever I see anyone eating frozen yogurt.

i love food babe and her posts, but if i took everything she wrote super seriously, i’d be afraid to eat anything! i think a little froyo every now and again is NBD
Oh my gosh, the Menchie’s man really is scary! I don’t blame Liv for wanting to get out of here!
I’m with Liv on the creepy characters. I hate clowns even to this day. They are terrifying to me!
i don’t think i’ve met a small child that LIKES clowns. whose idea was that?? haha
Poor Livi! I think I’d be scared of that froyo guy too! Haha. So glad to hear your spin class went so well! I’m sure it was a blast. And GREAT news about your thumb. Let’s just hope the nerves decide to heal sooner rather than later. xo
thank you, friend!
I used to watch Wedding Story and Baby Story on TLC too when I was home sick! Also, Unsolved Mysteries (which terrified me if I was home alone) and Passions, the most amazingly ridiculous soap opera in the history of the world. This all sounds so nice, maybe I have a “mental health day” in my near future….
Yay for no surgery, happy to hear that 🙂
I love getting some spin songs from SYTYCD! It’s great inspiration.
Yes, give your thumbs LOTS of time to health. Like I said, it’s been 10+ months and my nerves that were also severed aren’t 100%, but they are SOOO much better.
“The body will heal itself, given the chance.”
thank you, hillary! glad to hear that yours are much better. when you’re in it, it feels like it will never feel normal again
Whoa whoa whoa the halloween stuff is out ALREADY?! It’s August!!! That’s scary… although, not quite as scary as that Froyo mascot. Looks like something from a children’s horror movie (if that existed).
hope your recovery goes well!
That ice cream suit is what my nightmares are made of. I don’t like people in costumes that cover their whole bodies and faces–it totally freaks me out! Mascots at sports games? Clowns? Forget it, I can’t do it.
How to you make it through teaching spin in shorts? I always end up with horrible chafing when I wear shorts. Hope your doctor appointment went well.
i usually teach spin in shorts or capris. shorts don’t seem to bother me!
thank you!
Yay for thumbkin being ok! That samba video reminds of the new Step Up movie…saw it yesterday and of course the plot was a fondue pot of cheeeeeese, acting was horrible…but the dancing was on fire. On fiiiiire. I may already have plans to rent it for girls night as soon as it’s out. 😉
ahhhh! i can’t wait to see it!
Creepy Froyo-dude made me laugh out lout. My little one has made me leave plenty of restaurants thanks to “cute” dressed up characters! 🙂 Glad your finger is ok.
thank you, jay!
Poor Liv! I hope she’s not afraid to go back! You’ll have to go back really soon to make sure she has a positive experience 😉
Congrats on the nerve report!!!!
i asked her today if she wanted to go back and she said no. poor girl!
thank you <3
I’m so glad to hear the thumb “will rebuild” 😉 And wow… that froyo suit does have a certain built-in creep factor to it. Also, HALLOWEEN? I’m just not ready… and I love the new design! xo
yay for not needing surgery! For acupuncture I see Riley at Chirpractique (in North Park, http://chiropractiquesd.com/) and he is amazing!
amazing- thank you!
Hi Gina!
I know you try and stay away from dairy..but when you go out for ice cream/fro yo, do you splurge on the real thing? I have mixed feelings about dairy because although I love it, I sometimes notice my stomach doesn’t always react well. When I do eat ice cream though, there’s nothing like the taste of the real cream/milk they use!
for ice cream, i get the real thing. for froyo, i’ll get whatever sorbet they have (menchie’s has vegan options)
i’ll just get a small serving and know that my stomach will probably not feel great, or my face will break out a little. sometimes it’s worth it 😉
What are your favorite affordable red wines?
apothic, i thee red, alamos malbec, jam jar shiraz (very sweet like a dessert wine), grifone sangiovese
if it’s red, i’ll drink it 🙂 those are the ones i pick up regularly though!
Ugh! I am so bummed I missed spin class last night! I was completely planning on going, but my poor little man broke his finger and we spent 7 glorious hours at Children’s yesterday.
i saw your instagram!! i hope he’s ok!! :/ poor guy. hopefully i’ll see you at the gym later this week!
I love love love Halloween decorations! The fall is my favorite time of the year and I cannot wait to decorate my apartment!
i was really tempted to start putting out pumpkins last night haha
sooo much Halloween everywhere! and lets talk about all the fall pinterest pins real quick…
i saw one for pumpkin french toast this morning! i was like whaaaaat?! (and then i repinned it.. haha)
That is how I party too! Fun date. Can’t believe the Halloween stuff is out there already. Too soon!
right? they keep inching it closer and closer to 4th of july
Glad to hear you don’t need surgery! And that Menchie’s costume is creepy no matter how old you are… 😉
hahah seriously! thank you 🙂
Regis and Kelly was the best! I totally thought I would watch it all the time when I became a SAHM but now I never watch it.
Ayden would have freaked about that froyo dude too! He’s afraid of everything though including the movie Frozen. Probably the only kid who didn’t like that movie! I don’t blame him though, the snow monster was scary!
Did they have the Christmas stuff out at Home Goods? I went to Hobby Lobby a month ago and they has over 10 aisles of Christmas decor already! Crazy!
that is insane! hobby lobby is way too fast with that stuff
great news on the thumb! And the froyo looked delish pity about the creepy ice cream man!
I’ve heard a lot of great things about the how to pimp your playlist workshop! I wish I was there. That ice cream man is terrifying and I don’t blame her for being scared of him!! I think I would have been too.
Your stay home sick routine reminded me so much of my stay home sick routine. I loved A Wedding Story! I can still sing the theme song. Some of the couples on the Baby Story were a little …strange 🙂
