Hodgepodge on a rainy Wednesday

Two posts in one week.  Y'all!  I am on fire.  Next week's goal: write a post that is more focused and keeps to one topic at a time.  Warning:  this post is a whole lot of random.

• WEST WING IS ON NETFLIX!  Seriously, one of the greatest TV shows of all time.  If you haven't watched it or Friday Night Lights, get thee to the Netflix immediately.  You're welcome.

• While I'm on the topic of television, I am also pumped for new episodes of Biggest Loser, Castle, Big Bang Theory, The Office and Elementary.

• I promise I do more than just watch television.  See below.

• Yesterday, I taught Zumba and ran 3.5 miles before noon and had a few hours off before I went back to teach Zumba again (crazytown: population me).  It was a cold day, so when I got home, I wanted to prop my legs up and lounge by the fire.  Typically the dog has a monopoly on the fire place, so he was none too happy to see that I had moved his bed over in order to share the space.  After some disgruntled sighs and urgent pawing at my leg and laptop, he decided he would just reclaim his spot by sitting on me.  Well-played Sinatra.  Well-played.

• My friend Lauren has the cutest children on the planet.  Her middle child, Jane, just started ballet, and Lauren captured the most precious pictures of the budding ballerina here. My favorite part of these pictures is the toe-point and relevé that Janie is demonstrating without benefit of a single lesson.  Clearly a prodigy. 

• Last night I learned a lot about the rules regarding leggings thanks to the following Twitter conversation:

•  I am very much hoping for sunshine tomorrow, because I have used up all my mental fortitude running in the rain or on a treadmill for the past week.

• Sometimes when I want to quit exercising, I pretend that I'm working out with Tim Tebow and RG3 (who can make this bucket list item happen for me?).  I tell myself that they are still going, so I can't stop.  It's sort of a combination of imaginary competition and shaming that gets me through.

• The trend of ombre hair color makes no sense to me.  Please comment if you can help me understand why you would want it to look like you neglected to have your roots touched up.

That's all I've got for now.  Discuss!
