To start, a couple housekeeping things.  [By the way.. why is it "housekeeping"?  Who knows]  Anyway.

First off is I'm having a BLAST at my dance exercise classes.  So far I've done Zumba a couple of times, and now I'm getting into this DanceOut! class.  DanceOut's really awesome because I can burn some serious calories to awesome music.  Sometimes I pretend I'm in one of those ridiculous dance flicks where everyone's a star.  I really don't want the class to end because then I'm back to lame-o me.  I drive home with the music a little louder than usual on those nights.  http://queencitydanceout.com/

Secondly, I REALLY wish I had more pet-sitting clients.  This job is tons of fun and I want to stay on board as long as possible.  I check my e-mail like a hundred times a day to see if I've got a new client.  People in eastern Charlotte: I'm an awesome pet-sitter!  I'll come and walk your dogs and feed your cats.  Check me out!  http://www.fluffsofluv.com

Ok, anyway. I made an interesting dish today.  I bought an unbelievable amount of pine nuts a while back, and I've been hankering to use them.  I bought some prosciutto for the first time two days ago and decided to marry the two.  So today I made a gluten-free pasta dish with prosciutto, spinach, toasted pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese.  It was pretty good.  Next time I'll be sure to use tons more spinach and a little less prosciutto.  I'm a huge salt fan, but the prosciutto was a bit much.  The recipe called for 2 slices and I used 1/4 pound.  Go big'er or go home, no?

Also, TCBY has made a total comeback.  My mom never really let me have real ice cream when I was a kid, so TCBY was our joint.  I've been an avid fan of TCBY since elementary school, and have even driven seriously out of my way for White Chocolate Mousse on more than one occasion.  I'm thrilled that there are a couple TCBY's down here in Charlotte.  And guess what!  They're self-serve.  So hip, so with it.  They've got a ton of flavors and a host of toppings and you can find me there pretty regularly.  Well, not as regularly as I'd like because the closest one's 25 minutes away.  I suppose that's for the best, though.  I'm currently dreaming of banana froyo with chocolate chips and Reeses' cups.  Oh man.  http://www.tcby.com/

I'm also really hoping for jewelry sales to pick up.  This is generally the time of year when people appreciate the trade I have to offer.  I'm truly hoping for good holiday sales.  http://www.earringsbychristina.com/

Also, Tiramisu makes the ugliest sound when she's cleaning herself.  I wouldn't normally write on that, but she's doing it right now and it's disgusting.  Gross.
