BodyPump

I tried a new-for-me class at the gym today.  BODYPUMP.
LesMills BODYPUMP™ is the original barbell class that strengthens your entire body. This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls.
After today, they should name this class "BodyBUMP" because cause THAT is what I'm gonna have on my head tomorrow... who knew there was an art to getting the big barbell back down to your waist when its just been suspended over your head! 

Oh and to avoid any confusion... the above picture is NOT of me... I look just like this, but with brown hair... just saying :)

White Chocolate Peppermint Rooibos Tea



When I heard about this tea... I wanted it like a fat kids wants a Butterfinger! I just got an email from Teavana promoting both the tea and their free online shipping with no minimum purchase.  Its a great deal!

Sadly, when I read the ingredients, this was no longer an option for me since I don't eat sugar. I'm allergic and bust out in fat.

If you do not suffer from the same affliction that I do, and this description sounds good to you, gets your immediately!
Inspired by decadent Holiday treats, this rooibos mingles rich, creamy white chocolate balanced exquisitely with cocoa bits and the flavor of crushed candy cane pieces. Surprise your senses with a gifted cup of this calorie and caffeine free rooibos perfect for sharing with family and friends. 
Richly sweet, creamy white chocolate with a delightful peppermint finish
Free shipping lasts until October 27th 

... just saying.

Bedroom Excitement... part deux

I was able to take this gem home with me from an old estate. It needed some major TLC and I was just to 'mom' to do it! It does have all 5 drawers, but I got anxious and forgot to take a true true before photo.

BOT, how do I love thee!

I scored at the library today... which to listen to first!?! I ended up going with Rob Lowe.  Major crush on him after watching Brothers and Sisters!

Although, spending such little time 'commuting' these days might have me just parked in the shade with the car on :)
