Friday Bullets
- As I’m sure you know, the Oregon Ducks did not win the National Championship. This breaks my heart. I shed actual tears after the game. And, I’ll admit that I cringe a little bit when people bring up the game. But, they played well and I’m pretty sure we’ll be unstoppable next year. And, I’m pretty sure that Cam Newton’s gonna have to give that Heisman trophy back one of these days. I’ll just be over here biding my time until then.
- This past Saturday, I took my first ballet class in about seven years. And, wow. Taking a ballet class at 32 is a lot different than taking one at 25. I’m just not quite as limber anymore. But, the class is good and it’s good to use those muscles again.
- Related to not being very limber anymore, Kerri and I bought Groupons for Bar Method and took our first classes this week. That crap looks easy, but it is not. And, it’s addicting. We went this morning and I’m counting the minutes until we go again. Basically, we’re both going to be looking like Olivia Wilde pretty damn soon. Or, I’ll just settle for being able to zip up all my jeans.
- I don’t really know who Olivia Wilde is, but I read on Kerri’s blog that she’s a Bar Method fan. Please read that post of Kerri’s because she is awesome.
- You know what? I’m glad to have a workout friend again. Sometimes it’s necessary to have someone to hold you accountable and it’s always nice to know, when your abs are burning that your friend is sitting next to you and her abs are burning, too.
- I have a three day weekend! Do you?
- Tonight we’re visiting our wedding venue to see The Involuntary Invalid. I’m always impressed by Portland Center Stage’s productions and I’m very excited for this one.
- OH. And, finally, it’s Delurking Day! So, please delurk and tell me something fabulous that happened this week. For me, it’s the discovery of Bar Method and also the fact that I have new Tory Burch wedges on my feet right this very instant.

Rhiannon, I love this post. My favorite bullet is the one about having a workout buddy. I totally agree.
14. January - 5:30 pmI’m not a lurker but I’ll comment anyway. :-) The Bar Method looks awesome! Olivia Wilde is on Twitter and is pretty funny.

This was not such a spectacular week, as I returned to work from maternity leave (part time), the dog was still sick, and my husband got some bad news. But my baby is still the cutest ever!

Delurking! I’m new to Portland, so pretty much everything is fabulous because I get to explore this fair city :) Looking forward to meeting in person sometime (totally assuming that we’re going to). Also, loved Kerri’s recap of the Bar Method and am considering joining her sometime!
14. January - 5:50 pmYou both are talking about this Bar Method thing and now I want to do it.
Yay for three day weekends! I only have two days off next week between school and work and I am so not used to that.
And about the ducks game I wish they would’ve won. Not that I know anything about sports or anything but someone I follow on twitter (and is SUPER ANNOYING) was a fan of the other team and I was kind of hoping if that team lost she would SHUT UP. Now I might have to punch her in the boob.

I had a bunch of client meetings in another state, but that meant I could go to Trader Joe’s! Woo. AND, it always surprises me how good I am at my job. Does that sound weird? I was listening to what I was saying, and thought, “Yeah, I sound like I know what I’m talking about and it’s working!”

I agree that workout buddies are super helpful!
14. January - 8:54 pmI bought the Groupon for a year of yoga and am looking forward to my second class tomorrow morning.
It’s great to see a Friday Bullets post!

Last night I convinced 3 of my girlfriends that they should take a Barre3 class with me here. I figure it helps to have friends when you’re in ab hell. :-) You and Kerri inspired me!
15. January - 9:12 amI have a FOUR day weekend…but that’s my normal schedule…every other weekend I have 4 off.
The Involuntary Invalid is being done in Ashland this year too! Hubs and I want to see it…looks funny.
Sorry ’bout your Ducks. I thought of you watching the ending of the game.
