Spring 2011 Parade of Homes
Posted on April 10, 2011 by Ching under Things to Do.
When I win the lottery, I’m buying this house — or one that looks exactly like it.
I love, love, love houses that back up to water. I think it would be really neat to live in Harbor Isle. But a small lake or pond like this one with a fountain would be good enough.
Now, this is a patio that’s fit for a party!
Brian and Misty in my dream shower. LOL.
I didn’t really get to take too many pictures this year because we didn’t have much time. I had step and Zumba in the morning, followed by brunch at The Good Egg, then we only had about a couple of hours to look at the Parade of Homes houses. We had to drop off the Ladder Golf set at Cory and April’s earlier in the afternoon (which took longer than I expected). Anyway, it didn’t seem like we missed much because many of the houses were the same ones that were in the Fall 2010 Parade of Homes.
If you haven’t already checked out the Spring Parade of Homes and this is your cup of tea, fear not as the there’s one more weekend. Enjoy!

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.
