dancerjodiIt was a good thing I skipped dance class last night. My stomach was SO not happy (though I'm glad it was just a minor bug, and nothing like what's hit co-workers and co-workers kids and dance class friends). Brian's still sick but feeling better, so the good thing is that what's hitting us is moving along quickly.
I started flipping through the most recent Self Magazine last night, and I'm considering doing the http://www.self.com/challenge/ again this year. It will be more of a challenge than in past years, because I'm not going to the gym anymore. I think it may be a good thing to kick Brian and I in our collective butts.
Along the lines of healthy eating, I'm hitting the supermarket today. We are in dire need of groceries (we ordered a pizza last night, and I was able to scrounge up enough stuff for today's breakfast and lunch at work that my sensitive stomach would be OK with, but it was tough). We'll be around the house a good deal this weekend (Brian is on call), so I'm hoping we can cook some interesting, healthy things up to have around the house for next week. After a crappy Monday and Tuesday I'm quite happy to have a more mundane, simple second half of the week and weekend!
When I was heading to the highway this morning I noticed how pretty the snow looked around the DeVincent houses, right near the Lyman Estate and heading up from Main to the Beaver Street Rotary. There are a good deal of trees along both sides of the road (near Gardencrest), and they were blanketed with snow as was the large lawn to the right in front of the Lyman house. These are the moments that remind me why I love New England, despite its erratic, cold and sometimes messy weather.
They also serve to remind me of the neat historic sites in and around my hometown that I've never seen (we had our wedding reception at The Paine Estate, finally saw the inside of the Gore Estate last year, though I used to get drunk on the grounds near the grape trellis' with my friends, and hopefully this year I'll get into the Lyman Estate). There's also countless things in Newton and Lexington that I've never seen that would be cool to explore this year once the weather gets better. I really want to hit the Museum of our Natural Heritage. There is (or was) an exhibit in there on old advertising that's actually got a video or photo of my old dance teacher as an anonymous set of legs dancing under an Old Gold Cigarette Box. She accompanied a student to the auditions for the commercial and was asked to dance in the larger box while her student was put into the small one. She was 8 months pregnant at the time: http://www.tvacres.com/dance_butts.htm http://www.tvacres.com/dance_butts.htm
