More snow...oh my!

Yes, it's true.  More snow predicted for CT - a mean 12".  Everything has already (for the most part) been cancelled for tomorrow including school.  Two kids + house + a snowstorm = chaos.  Thank goodness for the Wii (which I actually like to play, too, especially tennis!).  


Anyway, did a Spinning class yesterday and I'm so sore today - I haven't done one in a loooong time but it was good stuff.  Have to get in shape pronto b/c my friend and I are joining the TRX session in a few weeks.  It's awesome - a super good workout for the core but it also looks hard, hard, hard.  It was developed by the Navy Seals and basically it's a method of exercise that uses leveraged bodyweight.  You can do the system at home but it seems a lot of gyms are offering it these days.  The following website is a good resource:  www.fitnessanywhere.com

I also re-joined the Junior League this week after a 6 (?) year hiatus (basically since #1 was about 6 months old).  Now that the kids are school age and I actually have a little free time, I figured it would be nice to get into the swing of things again.  I had to transfer from my old league in Greenwich (CT) to the League in my new town but I'm looking forward to meeting a new group.  Plus they have a Art Auction Gala in the spring so I'm excited to get my dance on.  


Moving on to another semi-random topic, I'm thinking of getting rid of my wedding china (which I have used once in 10 years) and just getting really nice everyday that can do double-duty. I had high hopes as I was scanning away at Bloomingdale's all those years ago, that I would be doing a lot of grand entertaining complete with the silver and Waterford.  Guess what?  Not so much.  My china pattern is gorgeous and I even just saw it on Gossip Girl :) but it seems wasteful to let it sit in a china cabinet.  Some disagree but life is too short.  I'm a huge fan of Villeroy & Boch plus there's a store in my area.  Here's what I'm thinking:

So cute, right?!
