Hurrah!

Tonight I finally got through the final edits to the back-end of DwC, meaning the site overhaul is totally finished. You like? I couldn’t be happier with the overall look and love the plug-ins which Chris designed.  You are invited to check them all out over on the sidebar.

I’ve updated the training calendar over there to reflect my training (starting next week), as well as my reading library to accurately reflect what I am reading and plan to read. Not sure if I mentioned this, but Earl and I (well, more just me after Earl found a dead bedbug in a book, got grossed out and sort of gave up) have become quite the patrons of the San Francisco Public Library. We get over there about every other week, and I’m always working my way through a big stack of books on the night stand. It’s a nice change from buying books- not only because it’s friendlier on the budget, but also because I find myself taking chances reading books that I never would have bothered to purchase. For example, I just finished reading Paula Dean’s memoirs, and I’ll be damned if I didn’t get the best shrimp and crab au gratin recipe out of it- Something I, and my tummy, would have missed out on otherwise. We’ve really been enjoying hitting up the library on Sundays after the Farmer’s market.

Plans for this weekend have me in class ALL DAY tomorrow and afterwards meeting Earl at the gym for our Saturday lifting session. I joined the gym two weeks ago, and have been lifting 3x a week under his tutelage. He crafted me a nice simple all-body workout which hits:

  1. chest
  2. quads
  3. tris
  4. shoulders
  5. back
  6. calves
  7. biceps
  8. abs

and gets me in and out in just about an hour.  It’s a nice change from some of the super intricate and confusing lifting programs I attempted to follow back in NYC.  Perhaps that is why I never really followed through with any of those… this time shall be different!

Other than that, I have about 4 chapters to read, take notes on, and study for school.  My classes just started in earnest this week and I am already feeling a bit behind.  It’s time to step up that game.  Oh!  And I am going to try and make homemade whole wheat tortillas to serve chicken tzatziki on for Made from Scratch Sunday.  For some reason, I have been craving Greek something FIERCE this week.  Will let you know how those come out…. I am salivating already.

Anyways, I hope you have a nice weekend :)   And thank you again to Chris for his wonderful work on the Dances with Corgis design overhaul!
