One word.... Y O G A ! (hmm...ok...two--PIZZA!)

Hahahahahaha! For those of you who truly know me, could I just have ONE word?

The girls and I attended teen yoga last night. There weren't any other teens, but the women who were there, including the instructor, all said they had girls at home who would be disappointed to learn that they missed out on meeting some new friends. The yoga instructor's daughter attends sixth grade at Pearson. Aidan was all set to "look her up" today. Not very difficult to do in a school that only has one team of sixth graders! LOL

Yoga is really fun. I didn't think I would like it, but I did. It is "slow", (my original concern) but it is a serious workout. It is very meditative. It is as much an internal/spiritual workout as much as a physical one. Between pilates and my three mile walk (YES!!! I did it!!!) I am very sore. I don't dare sit down or stop because I won't be able to get back up.

Today I am cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I need to (finally) switch dressers and closets around for the season and finish unpacking. (blech!) Dusting, mopping.... the whole nine yards.

When the girls get home from school I promised them I would drive them down to the Farmington Mall to go window shopping. Trust me, we couldn't afford to shop there even if we COULD afford to shop there! But a very fun place to look around.

There is a new pizza place on the way back into town that we will "check out". You can't truly belong to a new place until you have exhausted the pizza offerings. God forbid you miss out on the best pizza in town. That's almost like missing out on the best church or something. Like Owego, Winsted has no end to pizza offerings. So far Kent Pizza in Winsted is the winner. Their pizza has kind of a homemade feel to it and always looks and tastes very fresh. I wouldn't eat their salads, though--boring. They can deep fry like nobody's business (a big forgive on the blah salads, but so much for yoga, walking and pilates....) However, NO ONE has beaten Pizza Mia--not even Original in Owego. Pizza Mia is in Highland, NY--right down the road by Scott's old house. We had to go to Poughkeepsie for something solemn and businessy last weekend but we were so giddy because that meant we could go to Pizza Mia---Ahhhhh PIZZA MECCA!!!!! If you are ever in the Hudson Valley region, you MUST seek that pizza out.

Wishing you a big Oooohhhhmmmmmm with extra cheese and pepperoni! :)

xxoo, Ali
