Today was the first day of boot camp – or bootie camp, as MZ calls it? 5 am was quite the rude awakening but I was up and ready to go! I was actually the first person there – shocker… I’m always way early for things.
This boot camp is about 35 women from 530 – 630 am for 4 days a week for 1 month. I was a bit surprised at the range of ladies that turned out for this. It specifically states that you should be in some sort of physical fitness, and frankly some of these ladies were not. I feel they are in for a long month, but maybe it will be just what they need. I know it’s what I need. My recent routine has been getting a bit stagnant as of late so this will be a great change up! It also helps to have a really skinny girl yell at me – not sure what that type motivation says about me… oh well, it works!
I’m also going to try my own little experiment – Blogging Boot Camp: where I actually post on my blog each day of this month…but please don’t yell at me if I don’t! =)
Thanks!
Woooooo pig fluie!
I remember when I was little, when ever we would go on a long road trip, my mom would take a long sock and wrap her hair around it and tie it all up in a knot. The socks she used always looked like they came straight out the late seventies with wild colors. The benefit of the sock would always be bouncy hair that looked exactly like it did when we left 6 – 8 hours before. My sister and I would always have matted hair from sleeping against the window or probably drooling on ourselves while napping.
While I was on the plane headed toward NYC I piled all my hair and it’s terrible roots on top of my hair and twisted it around and put a clippie in the pile of hair. 3 hours later great hair still. It really works! YAY!
Here’s a quick test to see if you have it. http://doihavepigflu.com/
On a more serious matter, here’s what we received at work today.
Please take note that one of the most important things is that YOU DO NOT CONTRACT THE H1N1 VIRUS FROM EATING PORK!!! Also, wash your hands early and often and if you are feeling sick – stay at home!

We had a fabulous weekend in NYC with MZ’s sister, bil and nephew! Mike now has a new title of the Godfather… he really likes that!
Not time to finish out the post, but wanted to get a picture or two up!

a) I love cupcakes – especially Magnolia Cupcakes!
b) I love SNL – I’m sad they are not taping live this week – we’ll probably go to 30 Rock anyway because there is a Magnolia Cupcake close by (go back to a if you already forgot) and because MZ and I love 30 Rock and SNL and I love TINA FEY and hopefully one day I’ll meet her! It could happen right?
c) EAT! I have been not eating all week so I can totally enjoy everything this weekend – I’m seriously considering taking MZ to Quality Meats because it’s so great and I want to see if he can break his own record for totally inappropriate but hilarious jokes in one sitting – I’m pretty sure that’s a dare and he can. If you don’t know what Quality Meats is, you can google it but don’t bother – check on over to the right and go to the December archive and check it out!
I’ll be google mappin it all over NYC in search of some rockin Pardo and Fundi items…
I’m supposed to be packing right this very minute instead I’m watching this video over and over again – I am thinking about what I’m going to take though so I should totally get points for that. I’m also thinking that I’m going to have to downsize my list because I’m probably not going to be allowed to take an entire suitcase for just shoes for only 3 days … I know MZ will not wait at baggage claim for me to pick up my shoes – I will be left at the curb…. fortunately the car service is under MY name!
I just have no clue what to pack! Normally I always just take all black, no matter what time of year, but since I’m going of my own accord and not with the agency, I feel somewhat compelled to wear color – gasp! I know! Yes, I do own clothing in other colors than black…
OK for reals yo – I’m going to listen to some Lonely Island and P-A-C-K! Promise!
I got approval today to attend BlogWell next week in NYC! Wahoo!
The better news is that MZ and I are headed to NYC this Thursday for baby Milo’s baptism and taking a long weekend to hang out in the city on Friday and some Saturday. We come home late on Sunday night, then I get to head back to NYC Tuesday for BlogWell on Wednesday!
I’m super excited about both trips! I absolutely love NYC!
MZ has never been to New York so this is pretty much a first that I’ve been somewhere or done something he hasn’t done…
Seeing if this works?
