Casual vs Formal

March 10, 2010

As we get ready to move I have been wondering if I should get a set of more “formal” dishes. I don’t want true China because I worry I would never use it but I do want something nicer for dinner parties, holidays and entertaining.

In my perfect life I am the uber hostess that has the beautiful table settings, but in real life… I just use my every day dishes and am lucky if I remember the placemats  ;) Someone at work suggested Craig’s List but it seems like Grandma China (no offense to any Grandma’s out there) all flowery and pink. Just not my style.

I came across this site recently and was just drooling over all the creativity and beautiful tables. Sigh. Maybe someday I will be the mini Martha that I have always wanted to be. I want my own show on Food Network to talk about cooking, organizing, travel, fitness and wine.

Any suggestions out there for a good place to buy dishes?

Fog

March 10, 2010

It is very dreary out today- rainy, cool and very foggy. Visibility was less than 1/4 miles this morning on my drive in. Here is a picture from the traffic camera

I am missing the sun! Even Clifford has been walking around kind of sullen since he can’t sit on the couch and soak up the sun. To combat the bad weather blues I get up early for a good workout- 30 minutes and 4.5 miles on the Octane Elliptical, I lifted legs and then did an additional 15 minutes on the bike.

My leg workout was:

Squat

Leg Curls

Leg Extension

Leg Press

Seated Calf Raise

Standing Calf Raise

I will be feeling it tomorrow! My camera decided to eat my breakfast picture but it was a pretty good smoothie from the gym and an Apple.
