Mac’s Groom Day

Daily Life!, , , ,

Hey there! Hope your day has been going great. I always love Wednesdays. I do a ‘sorta long’ run on Wednesday mornings which jump starts my mood.

IMG_3345It’s also trash day, which means my house looks extra clean after all the trash has been taken out! And it’s the day the grocery ads come out for the week….I know I’m a nerd, but I love looking at the ads for my local stores. 🙂  Today was made even better by some deliveries that finally made it to my house!

New Rykas, anyone? haha I decided to splurge on my Jazzercise shoes since I’ve been investing so much time and money on running stuff lately. I found these Ryka Hypnotics on sale and had to have them. This is just a preview though. I didn’t even have time at lunch to try them on!

And last but not least, today was slightly out of the ordinary because Mac had an appointment to be groomed this morning at 8 a.m. So that meant he got to leave with momma today!

He loves riding in the car, but always tends to get a little finicky once he realizes that something is up. He obviously knows it isn’t common practice to leave for work with me, so the car ride over to his groomer was filled with panicked/excited whines. And since we were running early, I tried to get some ‘before’ shots of him in the car. He couldn’t sit still…

Crazy boy! But when I picked him up during my lunch break, the groomer gave him a great report and said he behaved like a complete gentleman. 🙂

He is so fluffy and pretty! Mac was also beyond happy to be home, so he decided to rub his face all over everything in celebration.

And now he’s so happy to have mommy and daddy home tonight to give him all the attention he thinks he deserves. 🙂

IMG_3355I do love my baby boy!

Tonight we are just relaxing and getting some house organizing done. It’s amazing how cluttered my house can get between the weekend and Wednesday night.

We’re expecting lots of rain and thunderstorms overnight tonight and into tomorrow. I love me some rainy sleeping weather! So I’ve already made up my mind that running must happen tomorrow in the gym. Sigh…oh well. I’ll get some speed intervals in to help pass the time on the dreadmill.

Have a great evening! Nighty night!

 

Little Chewbacca

Daily Life!, , ,

Happy Tuesday!! It’s been a busy, busy day around here, so I haven’t had much time to check in before I head off to teach Jazzercise all night. SOOOO I thought I would share some adorableness that I call Mac, aka Chewbacca.

IMG_3338He’s REALLY furry right now. Like out of control fuzzy. But not to fear, we’re going to the groomer tomorrow morning!

IMG_3335He’s so excited. He hid under my clothes in the closet this morning to show me how ecstatic he is about going to the doggie spa. 🙂

IMG_3340 IMG_3343It was like some weird, creepy horror movie scene. I couldn’t find him, so I started slowing pulling my clothes apart to find him. ha!

So we’ve been calling him Chewie the last couple days since he basically looks like the son of Chewbacca. I’m still trying to decide how short to get his hair cut. I think it’s still too cold for his summer puppy cut. But a good trim up all over is definitely necessary at this point!

Next on my to-do list after his groom? Getting my own hair cut. I have split ends on top of split ends. It’s a problem.

Well I hope you have a wonderful evening. I’ll be spending it with my Jazzer ladies – can’t wait! See ya later!

Chelsea’s Jazzercise Baby Shower

Daily Life!, Jazzercise, , , , ,

Hey there! Hope your Monday is going swell. Mine’s been flyin’ by, and I’m ready for a night of relaxation!

So yesterday I promised a recap of what else I did with my Valentine’s weekend. And it just so happens that I attended a fabulous baby shower for a fellow Jazzercise instructor!

Chelsea’s Shower Class

IMG_3317So, when you are a Jazzercise instructor, you don’t get the typcial ‘shower’ for special occasions like weddings or babies. You get the Jazzer treatment and of course, this centers around a fun, themed Jazzercise class!

IMG_3303Here’s Chelsea. Ain’t she cute with that little preggo belly? We celebrated her gender reveal with a Jazzercise Plus, 90 minute, class on Saturday morning. And it’s a BOY! Woot!! So Baby Boy Taylor is on the way this summer. We danced to lots of baby-themed songs to celebrate the expecting momma.

IMG_3305 IMG_3293I sure hope that I can still rock the stage when I have kids one day. Most instructors dance all the way through their pregnancies, so I won’t throw in the towel until my doctor says I have to! Chelsea rocked through the class with ease with the help of a few other instructors.

IMG_3291 IMG_3297I came as a student to class because I wasn’t sure how my morning run would leave me feeling. Sometimes I can feel great after a run, and sometimes I feel like I need to vomit for about an hour. Luckily my Saturday morning run left me feeling good! I was sore, but good. 🙂

IMG_3322So after this run, I ate a quick Greek yogurt and bagel in the car on the way over to the center. I was afraid my stomach would be upset, but everything settled fine, and I made it through the class without too much pain!

I was mostly looking forward to the treats though. 🙂  What baby shower would be complete without cupcakes and goodies?!

IMG_3308 IMG_3310Yum! All this sugar was definitely what my body was craving after that 90-minute class. I had a cupcake right away and a pretzel. Oh and a mustache shaped rice krispy treat!

IMG_3319Ha! All in celebration of the little boy that is on the way. It was a great class, and I’m so glad that I made it in time to participate as a student. It’s always refreshing to be in Jazzercise classes as a student. Makes me really appreciate the other instructors and how hard they all work!

IMG_3316And congrats to Miss Chelsea and her hubby on their baby boy. She’s 20 weeks along, so we have 20 more to wait to see this little bundle! (And P.S. Dede we missed you terribly!)

Well have a great night everyone. I’m off to enjoy an evening at home with my boys. I’ll see you tomorrow!
