New Zumba Photos
Posted on September 10, 2011 by Ching under Health, Zumba.
I stole some pictures from Gina Ann’s Facebook page.
My mom at Zumba. A rare sighting.
Tita Rose and I had a pose-off. 😉
I didn’t get the purple memo on orange and purple day. Orange was already packed in my workout bag, though. So I at least got that part right.
Shades of blue day.

Am I a Scary-Looking Broad or What?
Posted on July 30, 2011 by Ching under Health.
Darcy and I both worked through our lunch yesterday, eating at our desks, so that we could run together at the end of the day. I had to bail on our “running date” though, because I got a last minute call from the dentist’s office asking if I could come in that day for a do-over of my impressions. I was like, “You’re kidding! They took them three times on Saturday!” Yes. Three times on my uppers and three times on my lowers so I had that clay stuff in my mouth six times on Saturday, and then I have to do it again. That stuff does not taste good. I know because I accidentally swallowed some of it last week. She said I would be fine, though. And so far, so good.
I guess the woman who did them yesterday is the “expert” on these things because she only had to do it once and she said we were good. I hope this means I don’t have to come back and do it over again. LOL.
They didn’t have my client notes up this time around. I guess they figured that we would be in and out, which we were. I forgot to share with you the picture above from last Saturday, though. They had my notes up and Brian and I were cracking up, reading it. It had notes in there like, “likes to hold the suction.” I’m glad they know and have noted this because I salivate a lot during treatment and dentists/hygienists can never keep up with it. Every two seconds I’m asking for suction so I don’t drown in my saliva and sometimes their hands are full so I have to wait. I need it so frequently that they might as well just give me the darn thing. Yes. I do like to hold the suction so I can stick it in my mouth whenever I want.
They also have notes in there that I do not like to miss work so I prefer Saturday dental appointments. We had to make an exception yesterday because the impressions needed to be sent to the Invisalign people right away, and I think the person they have who is an “expert” at taking these impressions doesn’t work on Saturdays. Obviously, none of the other staff can do it as well as she does.
Being able to read their notes on me was a little strange. They didn’t write any bad stuff, but what if there were? Like “watch out for terrible halitosis” or “be sure to wear a gas mask” or “crabby old broad” (they had “nice lady” on mine) or “lots of plaque because she never flosses” — that sort of stuff? I asked the very nice lady, who worked very hard to get some good impressions of my teeth (albeit in vain), this last Saturday and she told me they don’t write any bad stuff. I’m absolutely, positively sure they do. They probably just write it in code. =P
Anyway, I don’t get why people hate going to the dentist. It’s always fun for me. The only thing I don’t like is when I have to miss work. Now that we’ve found a dental office that has some Saturday hours a couple of times a month though, we are golden. That was really the main reason that we switched dentists. Well, besides the fact that Dr. Begnoche is hot. LOL.

We have so much fun in Gina Ann’s Zumba class! I think this picture of me and Stephanie is going to be my favorite picture of a while. It’s hilarious!

I Must Be Shrinking
Posted on June 21, 2011 by Ching under Health, Shopping.
Brian and I went to Old Navy today to pick up a pair of shorts for me so I can use my Old Navy Groupon before it expired. We meant to use it on Saturday when Brian picked up some new clothes, but we forgot all about it. We only remembered to use the gift card that he got from his parents for his birthday. If I would have thought of it, we would have been able to reduce the amount that we charged to our credit card. Brian got a ton of new stuff to replenish his wardrobe since he is down to mediums now.
Anyway, we couldn’t really apply the Groupon to a previous purchase so we figured we’d just have to go back and pick up something inexpensive that we can use our Groupon on. What a racket right? You buy a Groupon thinking that you’ll be saving mucho dinero, but really you just end up buying stuff that you probably wouldn’t have bought otherwise. Are you really saving money? Well, I guess you do as long as you’re not forgetful like I am. I really need to quit buying Groupons just for the sake of buying them.
The good news is that my new pair of shorts only cost me .73 cents. Cheapest shorts I ever bought! LOL. Oh, the other good news is that I can now squeeze myself into size 2s in Old Navy bottoms. Who would have thought? Although, I ended up buying the size 4s. They are a little loose but I got them because they felt more comfortable around my thighs, which are annoyingly huge. Also, I’ve never been all that impressed with the quality of Old Navy garments, so I think they might shrink when I put them in the dryer. In which case they’ll fit me perfectly after.
I told Brian that I’m going to have to try on my summer clothes before we pack them for our trip because they might not fit right. At least I know I’ll have a pair of shorts that fit me that I can bring on the trip. I may just have to settle for looking yagit for a while, until I can buy some smaller clothes. I know for sure that I need some new dress pants for work. My Express 6s that used to fit me perfectly now fit me like my old Eddie Bauer 6s. I haven’t been a size 4 in Express in years so this is quite exciting! I’ve decided to hold off on buying new work pants until after we return from Boston, though. I’m kind of picky when it comes to work pants. I think I might just go shopping on the Thursday or Friday after we return from our trip.
Anyhow, I just wanted to share that exciting news. It’s a slow and gradual process, but I think I’m actually returning to my old size. Never in a million years did I think that would be possible. Now I’m thinking that I just might be able to get size 2 this year if I keep up this level of physical activity. Which isn’t bad really, considering that I’m doing things that I thoroughly enjoy doing and I get to be around hot, sexy ladies all the time. I love, love, love my fellow Zumba girls!
