2. When I flaunted my wages in front of Brad and told him I probably needed my own top-of-the-line laptop and a business suit from Ann Taylor he said, "Well. You're a top earner now."
3. I'm going to try not to let my fame and fortune go to my head. You know what they say, "Mo' money, mo' problems."
4. Work out videos are really, really lame. That is why I've been religiously working out to the 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels. I am pleased with the results thus far, but my main problem is that I've been using two cans of Trader Joe's Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes (with organic green chiles) as my weights and they are slated for use in tonight's dinner. Do I actually go purchase real weights or get creative? Currently my pantry contains a single can of green olives, so I need to move beyond food products.
5. Dominic insists that Pia is a boy. I'm not doing much to dissuade him because arguing with an almost-three-year-old is the worst. Plus, it's kinda funny.
6. I saw the best thing while grocery shopping at Kroger the other day. In the produce section there was a Muslim woman wearing a hijab and talking on a smart phone. But wait, there's more. She was talking on it hands-free and it's not because she had some sort of Bluetooth deal going on. No, she had her phone TUCKED INTO the side of her hijab. It was awesome.

ReplyDeleteDon't buy real weights. Because you'll be tempted to get heavier weights than the cans would be, thinking, "I'm buff, I can totally do the workout with the 10 pound weights", and the next day you will wake up and your arms will be ON FIRE and they will be useless for anything other than causing you excruciating pain.

Money in the power, power in the money, minute after minute, .... and that's enough Gangster's paradise.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I heart you blog. If I had a magazine I would pay you to write in it! You guys do make this whole parent/birth/marriage thing look good!
Hi! I found you from quick takes! I have to admit I read your bio first and loved it. Congrats on the magazine article, it sounds like a reason to go to Ann Taylor to me!
ReplyDeleteWeights are cheap at target, I'd def go get some.
ReplyDelete6. That's hilarious. lol
Found you from quick takes. I laughed at your work out routine. I have been known to do mini work outs with cans of beans. Your dinner plans might just mean you have to take a day off :)
ReplyDeleteHave you really been working out religiously???? Dagnabit! I'm seriously the only lazy postpartum woman who's trying to lose weight by not exercising. So unfair.
ReplyDeleteBut yay! Real American dollars! Big pimpin'.
p.s. Also you have great hair.
