Salsa Cardio Tonight!

Just back from another workout at the Y. I'm really enjoying this "Salsa Cardio" class. Actually - it kicks my butt which is exactly what I need right now. We're in the CRAP season of dark at 4:30 yet no snow so I can't really hike, bike, x-country ski or snowshoe after work right now.....so this is good! I'm actually USING my Y membership! I didn't know if I would or not since I haven't been a member since I was about 8 or so...I'm really enjoying it so far.

My arms, however, are like rubber chickens. I kid you not. Tricep (t?) pushups make me watery....but they're getting easier which is a good sign, right?

It rained ALL day today. WTF? It's November 28th. HELLO. I live in Duluth for chrissakes....where is the snow? Apparently it's all in South Dakota and Western MN - heading our way? Perhaps. I would love a snow day about now.

Did you all have good and yummy Thanksgivings?

Quick recap:
  • Made pie (pictured below)
  • Ate turkey, fixin's and pie with Steve's family
  • Drank much beer & wine
  • Slept like a rock
Friday:
  • Putzed around
  • washed car
  • Drove to Austin
  • Ate George's Pizza (delish!)
  • Drank beer
Saturday:
  • Walked at the Nature Center
  • Made roasted yams & parsnips in a maple glaze
  • Ate lots of turkey, fixin's, pie with my family
  • Drank lots of beer & wine
  • Played RACKO
  • Didn't sleep like a rock at all
Sunday:
  • Ate yummy breakfast (My mom rocks!)
  • Visited my grandparents
  • Watched the Vikings
  • Ate homemade lasagna
  • Drove back to Duluth
  • No beer or wine
  • Slept almost like a rock
To you get the pattern?

THAT'S why there was Salsa Cardio tonight!!

oh yeah, that would've been fun!! It was kind of whirlwind of eating and visiting relatives....I'll have to remember to fill you in at Christmas time - are you going down?

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
