So it was little bit windy last night…
I guess quite a few people near our neighborhood even lost power — including our gym!!!
It also wreaked havoc on the neighbors’ Halloween decorations. GIANT SPIDER IN OUR PATH!!
Pippa and I ran an easy 3 & change before I went home to do this quick WOD from my wonderful WOD Genius app:
Since I was working out on the cold hard cement of our back patio, I chose to do burpee deadlifts with dumbbells so I wouldn’t have to drag out a mat. Finished in 11:23!
I knew something felt weird!! MY PANTS WERE ON BACKWARDS THAT WHOLE TIME!! Haha.Oh well. Not really noticeable, but I couldn’t figure out why my pants wouldn’t stay up. I thought it was all the weight I’ve been losing. Kidding!
After my morning piano students, I got cracking on a big platter of cookies for Kevin to take to work tomorrow. I made two of my big faves from Two Peas & Their Pod: Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip & Pumpkin Gingersnap.
I challenged myself not to eat any cookie dough while I was baking. I’m actually a huge believer in tasting the batter, but I tend to get carried away with cookie dough. I just didn’t want the sugared up feeling today! Plus I’m trying to stay super on track with my boot camp since we are going to be out of town this weekend (HOORAY).
Last night…
Was our second ballroom dance class.
Wow, I did NOT do well. I had to be taken aside by the instructor to practice the new steps. My face was turning so RED that I couldn’t even pay attention to what he was teaching me! I’m so used to being the teacher that it’s very humbling for me to be put into the position of a struggling learner. I’m certain it’s good for me (and my students too)!
I got it now. Don’t worry. I’ve even made Kevin practice with me twice already. My problem is that they usually teach the guys’ part first, and the girls are supposed to do the reverse. I don’t translate that very well and get a little tangled up! Nothing a little Menchie’s couldn’t fix! I saw on their Facebook page that they had a new Pumpkin flavor so I had to go! I think I need to unsubscribe!!!
My velcro dog doesn’t like it when I leave her at home! Haha.I can’t believe she actually fits in that window sill. She looks hilarious. The dogs had better enjoy that room while they can because soon enough it’s going to be renovated into my new piano studio! Right now it’s where I throw all my empty Amazon Prime boxes. What – you don’t have a room for that too? 
My little ducklings! This is how I lure them out to the garage where they currently hang while I teach piano (with Pippa the escape artist in a crate). Aren’t Boyd’s eyes hilarious?? This is why I take 50+ pics a day. Lol.
Do you ever put your pants on backwards? Yes. I’ve also worn shirts backwards for long periods of time. And inside out. I’m not a morning person.
What have you struggled to learn lately? Ballroom dancing & double unders. I’m really pretty klutzy. Running and burpees don’t require large amounts of finesse.
HOLY that’s a big blow … everything’s … everywhere! pippa’s so cute. hehe I’ve never put my pants on backwards but that’s always happened to me with shirts … and once or twice my undies. whooooops.
Haha, I have never worn my pants backwards…I prefer leaving tags on things so people can know my size. You know, in case they want to buy me gifts of clothing.
Wow..that’s some crazy wind! I’ve never put my pants on backwards, but I have worn it inside out. I recall all too well many wonderful mornings, discovering this mortifying error while bending and twisting. Bet the yogis around me just loved that!
.
“Velcro” dog haha that’s hilarious! I can relate! And that picture is a lil’ scary
ugh yes, i am the worst with SHIRTS being put on inside out haha
and lately, i have been struggling to learn balance in life. that is rpetty general but i am struggling to keep work, play, normal duties, blogging, and fitness going right now. I’m hoping things will be back to normal soon
Haha! I don’t think I’ve put my pants on backwards, but I can see how easily that would happen!
Hey I am taking ballroom dancing too and I know the feeling you are describing! We are constantly learning new dances…some i catch on to quickly…others not so much. It is the the so much ones that I get frustrated and flustered…I guess it happens to everyone
gosh those dog faces just make me melt! i love this ballroom dancing you are into, so cute!
Ha! Every photo of Boyd is so funny.
I think it’s so awesome that you’re stepping outside your comfort zone and taking the student role instead of the teacher’s!
I have those exact pants and I’ve totally worn them backwards before too! Something about them must be confusing lol!
I’m a hot mess in any dance class I try. I don’t know what Kevin and I are going to do on our wedding day!
I don’t think I’ve ever put my pants on backwards, but definitely shirts!
I heard about the “wind storm” in CO on the news this morning! Glad everything seems relatively ok where you are!
Never had that happen..ha!
Love the pics of the dogs and the bread…and how Pippa is waiting patiently beyond Boyd..like she knows her place…my Rudy does the same when snacks are involved. weird?
i’m learning basketball! just signed up for amazon prime and love it.
I have not had my pants on backwards, but I have been at the gym when I noticed my shirt was inside out. But I guess that’s kind of common (since the commenter before me said the same thing!).
I can’t say I’ve put on my pants backwards but I have worn my t-shirt inside out…I also once forgot to put a bra on and only realised when I was entering the gym! In my defense, I had just rolled out of bed
