Zumba.....Like a boss!

So I did it, I went to a Zumba class with no friends, all by my lonesome. Was it fun? Of course, but would I have liked to have my girls with me so I can act silly? Hell yeah! But I guess it's one of those things I will have to get used to. I love dancing and being out of the house, so it is a good thing. But let me tell you when I hit that 30 minute mark and started to feel the fact that I hadn't done this in a while I thought I was going to die! I mean I kept going because I was having fun, but seriously it was touch and go there for a minute! Oh and this group of people is way different than what I was a custom to at the YMCA in Houma. There was so much ass shaking going on I thought I was in the video for Baby Got Back! Oh and don't think that is was all these teeny tiny girls, oh no ma'm, these were healthy young ladies. I say young because they are my age and I am still in my twenties thank you very much. I am back on my Zumba kick which I like. Now all I have to do is get some Zumba clothes, I was kind of the odd man out with my big t-shirt and capris sweats. Those girls and guys take this stuff seriously. Yes there were guys and they could shake their butts better than most of the girls in there!

My nail polish obsession.

So with the wonderful invention of pintrest, many of us have become obsessed with one thing or another. Be it fitness, recipes, or like me nail polish! I have always liked getting my nails done but now it is all about the colors. I change my nails polish at least twice a week. I know it seems a bit much but I like changing it. It is relaxing to take the polish off and paint my nails again. I'm not alone in my obsession. I see so many pins about nails that it makes me feel better about it. I love getting new colors and trying them. My husbands says I like the fumes that come from the remover and the polish and that's why it relaxes me but I think it is just the fact that I'm doing something for me. Who knows! I'm just glad to know there are others like me, and this isn't the only weird thing that I "have" that others have! Look up achondroplasia, if you know me then you will understand. One more thing it is not a hate it is just an uncomfortable feeling. 😉

Bubble Guppies and Agent Oso: Logic does not exist!

With a two year old in my life I am able to watch some very entertaining shows such as the ones listed in the title. There is one thing that bothers my about these particular shows; the lack of logic. Lets start with an episode of Bubble Guppies I saw recently. One of the guppies rescued a cat from a tree but could not come back down. First cats don't live under water and neither do trees but what really got me was why didn't he just swim down from the tree? I realize we are suppose to suspend disbelief but come on don't insult my intelligence! Oh and Oso you're and talking bear! No one has a problem with a talking stuffed animal. Oh and he is always messing up what kind of special agent is that. However, I do appreciate the nod to 007 with the names of his missions. I guess it's just like when I watch Full House now and I'm like, really Stephanie get over yourself or who has these little sit downs with there kids when they do some of the stuff those kids did. If that was me I would have been punished and probably would have received a nice whooping! My Dad used to ask me if I would like my punishments better if he had a tape player to play the music in the background like Danny Tanner did. I didn't get it back then but now I can appreciate the humor. I mean who sits down with a two year old, literally who can get them to sit down long enough for me to have a discussion about the fact that hiding things is not good and you shouldn't do it! I can't even get him to tell me what he wants to eat much less have a heart to heart! Ok, I'm done with my rant !

Punchinella

So I was talking to my mom in law tonight and she called one of her sisters Punchinella. I have never heard of such a thing so I did what I always do, I Googled  it. Well google showed me a type of fabric with holes in it and a song. Still not answering the question of why she called her sister that, my husband and I called her back and asked. Apparently, her sister used to go around singing this song Punchinella, she would only song this one part, " Punchinella, Punchinella what a fella." So as any sibling would, this began to aggravate her sisters and they began to call her Punchy for short. After hearing the song,and seeing a clown and some little children singing in a circle, I was amused at the thought of this particular sister singing that song and dancing in a circle with said clown.( If you knew her it would be hilarious and scary because I am afraid of clowns.) Anyway, I thought that this was amusing so I decided to blog about it! Later! 

This is only the beginning.....

So since I have moved from the south to this new place, I have become a stay-at-home mom. It is a new adventure that I am starting to get used to. Except for the fact that I am getting way to addicted to Candy Crush and my child is addicted to me. I mean I didn't really appreciate going to the bathroom by myself as much as I do now. I mean don't get me wrong I love being with him but I totally get why my friends who stay at home with their kids need a little me time. I used to think that my job as a teacher was stressful but this is way more stressful. Anyway, I just wanted a place where I could just let some of my thoughts out into the world because sometimes I have some pretty funny stuff to say or just stupid either way I don't care if anyone really reads this I'm just having fun!
This blog will be a collaboration between myself(Ashley) and my BFF Sammy. We are pretty funny so who knows what will happen on here!
