Every night this week I did a different video from Do Yoga With Me Now. If you haven’t been to this site, I can’t recommend it enough. On Wednesday I got Donnie to do the “Yoga for Athletes” video with me, which was nice until he tried to make out during Savasana.
This move got him officially banned from my at-home yoga
practice. Now he knows that if he comes home and hears a gong or wind chimes coming
from my yoga room he is to stay on the first floor.
I don’t have to worry about this crap at the Cincinnati Yoga
School.
#7) Update My Style: Speaking
of Donnie, this is his least favorite item on my list. Anytime I put on an article of clothing he
doesn’t remember he’ll say to me, “Where’d you get that?” as if I’ve been
shopping on the sly. He likes to keep a
mental calculator tape of my clothing receipts lest I spend money he feels
would have been better spent on his professional wardrobe.
Which he can wear while he stands behind me adding up the $14
I spent on this shirt and the $40 I spent on these boots in 2008.
#11) Join Toastmasters:
Let the spreadsheet reflect that on January 19th I sent an
inquiry to the “Contact Us” page on the website of a local Toastmasters
group.
#12) Buy in Bulk: There
was a fire sale on coffee this week at Remke.
This stuff isn’t cheap so when it’s $3.00 off a bag, you stock up. Even
if you really prefer Italian Roast to French Roast but all of the Italian
Roasts were bought out by savvy shoppers prepping for PV2.
#15) Join a Book Club:
The first meeting of “Booze and Books” is scheduled for February 27th. I’m so excited about this, although I’m going to
have to do some serious Googling to learn how a book club is supposed to work.
Whoops, I just realized that I typed “Booze and Books”
although the title of the club is actually “Books and Booze.” Trying to get my priorities straight.
#16) Go Antiquing: I
found this lady at Legacies in Hyde Park Plaza for $10! She helps to tie together the warm neutrals
in the living room with the cool gray of the dining room. And she reminds me not to touch my face. Or put my boobs on the table.
#17) Entertain: Our
International Dinner Club met at Emanu last night and then came back to our
place for dessert. Emanu was
delicious. Look at this! The spices were
perfect.
For dessert I made my new favorite--Apricot Oat Bars from the “Weeknights
with Giada” cookbook my grandma gave me.
For some reason, I didn’t take a picture of the final
product, but here are a couple of the dough and prep work.
I did get a picture of Donnie and Tony wearing the same outfit:
Tony is the one who coined PV2, btw.
One of the highlights of the night involved creating a Chat
Roulette account and conversing with a beat boxer from Brazil and an 18-year
old model from Iraq. This seemed like an
appropriate activity for the International Dinner Club. Until we were subjected to some indecent
exposure by a guy from Trenton, New Jersey.
This is probably not how Martha Stewart would entertain, but
I never claimed to be an expert.
-K.
