Yet Another Zumba Addict
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Health, Zumba.
I’m not the only one addicted to Zumba fitness gear. Check out Tony in his new Zumba sneakers and cargo pants! Very cool, no?
We had a great workout in Gina Ann’s class yesterday. Brian and I got there late because I have to come from Andover YMCA, where my regular Saturday morning step class is held. I usually miss the the warmup. Even with missing the warmup, I still managed 6375 steps. My CardioTrainer app figured that the 54-minute workout was equivalent to 3.96 miles. Add that to the 3.56 miles from my step class and I burned about 900 calories in one day. That’s not even counting the calories I burned playing Ladder Golf and kicking everyone’s butt at Tekken later that day. LOL.
BTW, speaking of steps… I hit a new record high today for Zumba. At the end of Amy’s class, my CardioTrainer app recorded over 8800 steps and figured that my workout was equivalent to 5.5 miles. Wow! It must have been all the booty shaking that we did (I had my phone in my back pocket). 🙂

Friday Night was a Good, Good Night
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Things to Do.
Brian and I had a great time at Suede on Friday night.
I had this wild idea to introduce Barry and Misty because I thought that they’d look cute together. Check out the picture above, on the right. Wouldn’t you agree? I love it when I’m right. LOL.
Here are some other pictures for your enjoyment…
Misty and Jeanne
Brian and Jeanne
Jeanne, me and Misty
My sister Jenni met us there too.
With the exception of the hail and rain, which actually didn’t last very long, it was a beautiful evening. It felt good hanging out on their tiny patio.
Ya’ll have to come join us one Friday night! 😉

Pictures of Brian in the Passat
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
I know I mentioned before that I wanted my next car to be a convertible, but the Passat has turned into a viable contender. Why? Well… Look at it. Doesn’t Brian look sexy driving it? I think that is reason enough. LOL.
Here’s what the dash looks like in the daylight…

DVD Navigation with Bluetooth
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
Brian got to drive one of their company cars to pick up some of his German colleagues from the airport today. It was a 2010 VW Passat. It was pretty nice actually. Almost made me want to own one. Except, I really like not having a car payment.
ME: My next car will have one of these. (I said this while pointing at the in-dash DVD navigation system which, incidentally, is capable of streaming your Pandora from your phone through Bluetooth.)
BRIAN: Your next car will have giddyup.
ME: What’s that?
BRIAN: It’s when you step on the accelerator and your car goes zoom!
LOL. Bebot is kind of sluggish. No offense, Bebot. (He’s actually pretty quick for a 4-cylinder. But that’s what happens when you are after good gas mileage.) I’m so frugal that I have a feeling we’ll have Bebot with us for several years to come. Probably until the wheels fall off. One can dream, though.

Abbie Cornish is a Busy Girl
Posted on April 7, 2011 by Ching under Movies.
Brian dragged me to see Sucker Punch at the IMAX over the weekend. It was pretty lame. Save your money and just wait for the DVD release. On the bright side, we did get some good photos of the inside of the theater.
The last few times we went were during some really popular movies so we couldn’t catch the the theater empty. We lucked out that Sucker Punch was lame. LOL.
Speaking of, we actually saw two Abbie Cornish flicks this week. She’s also in Limitless, which we saw with Misty last night for cheap movie night. Limitless was okay. Abbie look in Limitless reminds me of Charlize Theron, except Charlize is a better actress. I’m not being catty because Abbie split up Ryan and Reese (though, I have to admit, I wasn’t thrilled when all of that stuff was going on — Ryan should have known better), I’m just stating a fact. She’s been somewhat lame lately. I think that’s what happens when you sell out. Then again, everyone has to make a living and we all “sell out” in our own ways.
I really liked Abbie before she was mainstream. I liked her better in Candy (with the late Heath Ledger) and Somersault (available on instant watch on Netflix). Of course, she’s probably making a lot more now.
