As my Facebook & Twitter pals (are you one?) already know, I went to spin!!!!

It was my first time back since having Braedon. I was a little nervous before heading out this morning for class. This tweet speaks for itself as to why.

I remember my very first spin class. I remember hurting in a particular region for days afterwards. I remember also having a padded bike seat that time. There was no padded seat today. There was also no air conditioning. There was only me…and the bike.

 
I totally asked a random fellow spinner to take that picture. Blurry shot is what you get!

And lots of sweat. Spinning in basically a sauna is no joke. I took the photo below after having the chance to air out for about 20 minutes.

Ick. Luckily, I had another first time moment that worked perfectly to cool me off.

That, my friends would be banana soft serve. You can pick your jaws up off the ground now. I know I waited way, way, way too long to try this. Honestly, I just kept forgetting to freeze bananas! It only took me a year to remember. And I have to say, I don’t think I will forget to freeze bananas anymore.

Banana soft serve with a sprinkle of honey + a chocolate vitatop = a great snack.

Banana soft serve + Makenzie = a happy kid with “ice cream” = a happy mommy!

Anything else I need you all to smack me upside the head to finally try? I promise I’ll return the favor to get you into spin class. I survived today, after all. Hip-hip-hooha-ray!

Question of the Evening – Is there anyone else out there yet to try banana soft serve? For the many of you who have…what’s your favorite “mix-in” or topping?

Peter had to travel to New York this weekend for his grandmother’s funeral. The kids and I stayed back because financially (3 plane tickets @ $600/piece? NO!) and logistically (driving 14+ hours with a 6 week old? NO!) all of us traveling didn’t really work. Before he left for the weekend we headed out for a family night out.

Yet again, we had a Groupon to use. Somehow we always end up waiting until the last minute with these things. We headed out to Tin Drum Asia Cafe.

They specialize in a variety of noodle, curry, and fried rice bowls. And apparently special fashion shows. Perhaps we wouldn’t have body image issues if these were the standard for fashion shows? 😉

I went before, to the restaurant – not the fashion show - and tried a curry bowl. This time, I went for a noodle bowl since I would have to share with miss M. I ordered the Lo Men which included shrimp, mushrooms, carrots, onions, green onions, bok choy, and of course the noodles in a light sauce.

It was good, but I’m glad we had the Groupon. I don’t know if its worth the full price. What is worth the full price? Frozen yogurt. Always. A Yogli Mogli sits across the street from the Tin Drum and I had my eye on going there from the beginning. What can I say? I always have a hankering for dessert!

I somehow managed to feast on that creation and still not feel 100% full. Eat like that and still fit in jeans 6 weeks post partum that took you months to fit into post-Makenzie? Gotta love nursing! ;) 

Question of the Day – Which would you order: Noodle, Curry, Rice? Sumo fashion show – intriguing or scary?
