Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Puff...

This past weekend I learned that I can shimmy with the best of them! Shimmy is a cool belly dancing "work-out" on FitTV and believe it or not I actually like it (me and physical activity usually don't mix well)! 

Combinations of hip moves and shoulder rolls (a stiff version of the an old school fave - "the snake") made for an interesting 20 minutes. But it wasn't the "go-head-sweat-girl-feel-the-burn" type of activity that I want and need.

So, I've decided to switch between Shimmy and Yoga to supplement to my real exercise...but its something that I definitely recommend. I felt a little silly at first and probably didn't look super hot and exotic like a belly dancer should but whatever, it was fun and I will continue to SHIMMY (heck, I might even invest in one of those coined sarongs). And you should SHIMMY too, even if its just your shoulders while reading this!

Best Mistake I Ever Made...

Long time, I know. Blame it on my head and not my heart, because please believe that I heart sharing terrific tidbits of my fabulous life with you!

So during my blogging hiatus, much has changed...I am not a runner...I'm still doing the green thing...my roommate and I caved in and got cable...I finished Cane River (shrugs)...and I made a big mistake.

I stopped by Harris Teeter to grab something quick for dinner and $45 later...I decided that I needed to get the hell out of there. But not before grabbing a bottle of red wine (which I read is actually a good and healthy choice...don't ask where I read it).

CUT TO - 24 year old me trying to pick out a "good" bottle of wine. It was ridiculous...I had no idea where to start so I decided to pick whatever bottle jumped out at me. 

ENTER - (oops) wines...my most favorite red wine ever! The bottle was cute and it clearly explained what you were getting on the bottle (love that)! I chose the Carmenere Merlot or in (oops) terms the "cheeky little red". 

I had two glasses (just a little tipsy) and spent the rest of the night relishing in my great mistake.

END SCENE.

And don't worry I'll be back sooner rather than later....with more mistakes I'm sure!
