Pegate, Pegate, Pegate
Posted on March 20, 2011 by Ching under Health, Things to Do, Zumba.
I did Zumba at North YMCA today. The first time I tried it, I didn’t like it. I think they had a substitute instructor that day, though. She wasn’t very good. Last week, when Jay and I were playing racquetball, I got to watch the regular instructor’s class. I really liked her music. She uses similar songs to Amie and Gina. Some of the songs are exactly the same, actually. Anyway, since I liked her music, I thought I would give the class a try today. It wasn’t bad. I still prefer to do Zumba at Genesis, but this is a great option for Sundays while Amie recovers from her surgery. The best part is that it’s only five minutes away.
Misty and I got there just as class was starting so we ended up in the back. It was kind of a pain because it’s hard to see her. I always prefer to watch the instructor as opposed to just a random person in front of me because I can never trust that they’re doing the moves right. Anyway, Misty just got frustrated and took off. LOL. I stuck around, though.
The funny thing is that when she did “Pegate,” I decided to do Amie’s and Gina’s choreography for the chorus after the first pass because I could not see her feet. That, and the chorus is my favorite part of “Pegate” – LOL.
I didn’t mind the class too much. I expect to be back next week. Except, I’ll be at least ten minutes early for the class next time to ensure I get a spot right in front of the stage. The only downside to that is that I’ll actually have to follow her routine instead of randomly busting out in some other routine mid-song as I did today. =P

Dinner at Il Vicino
Posted on March 20, 2011 by Ching under Family, Things to Do.
Brian took a picture of me while I was getting ready for dinner yesterday. There are several things wrong with this picture. For instance, my arm pits look extremely hairy. However, it’s been a really long time since I’ve been able to wear a cami so I’d say we’re making progress and just leave it at that.
Jen Tevs was a great sport. She decided to take one for the team and get there way early to make sure that we got a table. Brian and I didn’t want her to wait by herself so we decided to go early ourselves. Since we just live down the street from the restaurant, it wasn’t too much trouble.
We were just hanging out a home (Brian was playing a video game and I was drinking a Woodchuck), killing time. Brian was also starving so he wasn’t averse to the idea of getting there early.
I’m glad we got there early to secure a table because the Bradley Fair Il Vicino was busy that night. The line was out the door.
Jen and I took some photos while waiting for Jenni, Maryland and mom to show up.
I was amazed that everyone showed up on time!
The pumps I’d given to Jenni a long time looked great with her outfit. They were brand new when I gave them to her because I’d gotten them too small. I usually have to drop a half size when I wear heels that are 3 or more inches. I think these had 4″ heels, so I got them in 5.5 (instead of my usual size 6). Wore them around the house and decided they were too tight. I really didn’t want to part with them, but I don’t really like to hassle with returning stuff online. Besides, I knew they’d be perfect for Jenni. She says she still needs to break them in. She must not wear them that often. They looked fantastic on.
Incidentally, she was also wearing an old hounds tooth mini skirt that I’d given her. I can’t imagine that I was ever that tiny. Oh, how I long for those days to return.
When everyone got up to order food, I stayed behind to hold our table. Jen Tevs let me play with her color Nook. It’s really neat!
I love that you can browse the internet with it. I think it’s only a matter of time before these multifunction e-readers and tablets render netbooks completely obsolete.
Anyway, we had a good time at dinner. Thanks for the invite Jen Tevs! We’ll need to do this again soon. Or better yet, we could make it a regular monthly thing. Except, we’ll have to try a different place each time. What do you guys think?

Ching is Nostalgic
Posted on March 19, 2011 by Ching under Family, Life.
Felt like reminiscing about the good, old days so I scanned and uploaded some of our old photos to Flickr. I found some more old Christmas photos. You can check them out here: Christmas 1999.
Of course, you can still check out the other Christmas photos:
That should catch you up. =)
Besides the old Christmas photos from over a decade ago, I also found a couple of old photos of Brian and me. This was back when he had long hair.
I have some more old photos to share from the past decade, so stay tuned!

Max Was a Little Off Today
Posted on March 18, 2011 by Ching under Travel.
I didn’t really think much about the shifting of the Earth’s axis as a result of the recent earthquake until Max made me miss my destination today. A coworker and I drove to Flint Hills Technical College in Emporia for Prepare Training presented by the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI). They weren’t kidding about the impact that the 4″ axis shift had on GPS systems. Good thing we left early.
