Cookie, Movie, Mac and more

Thank you once again for your supportive comments on my last post about body after baby.  I appreciate your suggestions and your compliments were so sweet.  Thank you for understanding!

Another weekend gone too quickly, but it was a good one.

The one downside is that Cookie (Bean’s grandma) left.  She was watching bean all last week and he absolutely loved it – and her!  Just look at that grin:

While she was here, she got Bean to start standing with support (against the coffee table, chair, etc).  She also got him to sit up on his own!  He’s been resistant on this, but finally can do it   Oh and she taught him how to read:

Kidding of course, but he sure looks engrossed.

Friday night, Zach and I had a date night and saw the new Batman movie.  It was phenomenal.  No, it was spectacular.  You have to know that I’m not much for fantasy, sci-fi type movies, but this blew away my expectations.  So so good. 

However, I cannot say how deeply saddened I am by the tragic events that unfolded Friday morning in CO.  My heart goes out to those that have lost loved ones and those that are injured.

Saturday was slow moving after my Spin class and I think the stagnation put me in a wee bit of a funk (<—hate when that happens).  Ultimately we decided to head to Los Gatos to one of my favorite wine bars: Rootstock.  Love it there.  After a glass of bubbly, I was a much happier girl.  The second bubbly made me happier yet – go figure

And after that, we made a purchase that lead to this:

Leaning tower of laptops? Nooo….

This:

My first Mac!  Meep!  Exciting huh?  I’ve been a PC girl my entire life but Zach has convinced me that Macs are superior so I bit the bullet. 

Oh and get this deal: ever since my other laptop died, Zach offered to buy me a 13” MacBook Air in exchange for me buying the plane tix to VA in September.  Little did he know that I had already bought the tix.  Mwuahahahaaha.  Sounds like a sweet deal to me!

Sunday morning I started off with Tina’s Best Body Bootcamp!  Technically it starts Monday, but I had Monday planned as my rest day so I started early   I have a feeling it’s going to kick my butt!

And last but not least, it was a mani/pedi day.  You see my nails above?  They’re pink.  I never do pink nails.  My toes match.  Who am I?

If you saw the new Batman movie, did you love it?

How do I blog on a Mac???  Currently I’m using Windows Live Writer on my netbook

Nails, training, solids, and off-Fridays

Hey there!

Welcome back from the weekend!

Working backwards, here is my weekend in review:

Sunday night I had baking plans, but they were thwarted by lack of ingredients.  As a result, Zach will have to experience the silence treatment from one of his coworkers until I can provide the goods (Sandra, I’m talking to you! )

I got my typical Sunday mani/pedi.  Usually I try to go 3 weeks between, but meh, I was feeling like some nail-pampering:

I’m pretty sure I did this exact nail combo only 2 mani/pedis ago.  Clearly I need to branch out.  I also think I’m addicted to gel nail polish.  Nearly 3 weeks chip free?  Yes please. 

Sunday morning I had my personal training session.  I love that someone is pushing me beyond my limits and also expanding my repertoire of exercises I can do on my own once my sessions end.  And fyi, I hate burpees, but can fully understand their effectiveness. 

Saturday, Zach and I gave Bean solids for the first time.  The pictures below tell a pretty good story of how it went:

Judging by the amount of rice cereal on Bean, I can’t be certain how much he actually swallowed.  Our plan is to try again today (since Sunday got away from us) and hopefully introduce some more flavor (vegetables) later this week.

Saturday morning, we did our typical trek to the coffee shop and grocery store with baby and dog in tow.  Odd how such simple things can bring so much joy

Other than those fun filled events, I spent my Friday taking care of errands and meeting a friend for drinks at Joya – nothing says an enjoyable afternoon like a glass (or 2) of champy!

What simple things are bringing you joy?

What’s a good second food for Bean (after rice cereal)?

Friday fun and some maternity fashion

This is going to be a short post friends.  I have other things to do with my day, like hanging out with this girl   So excited.  On deck we have froyo, pedis, Starbucks, and baking planned.  Jam-packed goodness!

As for what I’ve been wearing – all the photos below are from this past week (my 33rd week or pregnancy).  Someone said in the comments the other day that being pregnant isn’t opposite of being fashionable.  I agree!  I may not be rocking anything super edgy or haute couture, but I’m workin’ with what I got

Gap maternity black pants, Anne Klein blush pumps, light pink tank, and Forever 21 lacy light cream sweater (the lovely Sara and I bough the same one last week in SF )

Motherhood maternity skinny jeans, Alfani camel boots, Gap peach maternity sweater, cream woven belt (from boutique in FL)

Motherhood maternity grey jersey dress, Steve Madden Girl foldover boots, Forever 21 pink cardi

What do you think?  Are fashion and pregnancy mutually exclusive?

Tell me what Friday Fun you are having or plan to have!

 PS Any interest in hearing about the breastfeeding class we went to last night?
