Three Things This Afternoon:

Number One. This morning, I did something I haven’t done since I left Wisconsin: I went to a Pilates class.

Things I realized:

2. I think I need to give this new studio another chance or two before I decide whether or not I like it and still want to keep going. This morning’s class was very different from what I’m used to.

3. Holy muscles. Clearly, my Pilates skills (and muscle tone) are a little rusty. I hurt. In a good way.

Number Two.

I think it is hilarious how Max looks like a completely different dog after a haircut.

And then Dan & I went to a Mediterranean restaurant, where we were served split pea soup.  AMAZING.  I loved it! I was craving it again the [...]
