Class Pass - The Artist Formerly Known as Classtivity

So this month, I bought a Class Pass (formerly Classtivity) and I've done spinning three times, Barre once, hot yoga once, and Barry's Boot Camp once.  I love it!! It's such a good deal and very motivational.  Tonight was the Class Pass launch party at The Ainsworth.  
After a fun spin class at Revolve, I stopped by the party to pick up my bag of swag.
I really love the tank and water bottle.
Thanks Class Pass for helping me "Live the Sweaty Life!"

Tonight, we schlepped up to Michael's on the UWS/West Harlem and while in the neighborhood stopped into Thai Market for dinner.
Yummy Calamari

Some Food Highlights from the Past Week

Last weekend, I went to the Jeffrey with my husband and friends and got a few glasses of the Allagash Grand Cru and Sigmund's soft pretzels:
We got bagels from Bagel Works:
I brought Trader Joe's sushi and some grapes to work for lunch:
We tried Trader Joe's Beer Battered Onion Rings:

I ate a Kayser croissant, 1/2 a pain au chocolat, and 1/2 a pain au raisin for breakfast this a.m.:

Then we had lunch at Emporio in SoHo/Nolita:
The fries were amazing!!!  I would come back just for the fries.

Red BELLA Coffeemaker

In addition to losing my computer's hard drive this week, I also lost a coffee pot.  Our Mr. Coffee ceased to function one morning.  Luckily, I have a French press; otherwise, there would have been hell to pay for the rest of the day.  Our new red BELLA coffeemaker:


A Week in Review - Goodbye January!

Here are some events from this past week:

1.) I started playing candy crush and proceeded to get stuck on this level...

So close... just one more jelly!!
2.) I bought a Classtivity ClassPass ($99 for 10 classes in 30 days) and have already tried a spin and a Barry's Bootcamp class.  Amazing.

My bike for spin class
3.) What I ate Wednesday: Taco Bell Edition

Mexican Pizza hold the meat
Nachos with cheese
Ruffino Pinot Grigio
4.) I saw King Lear at BAM, and it was amazing.

My ticket and playbill
Set before the show
5.) I went to Trader Joe's in Chelsea tonight and went a little crazy as usual.

Two full bags of random groceries getting ready to schlep on the subway.
Freeze Dried Strawberries
These are like Kellogg's Special K Red Berries without the Special K.  So good!!
Trader Joe's Arancini Bites
My dinner of rice balls with Fontina cheese.
Here's to the weekend and to a new month!!

Bangaladumpa Upma Koora - Blue Apron

We made the rest of the Blue Apron recipes this past week.  Here are some photos of the Bangaladumpa Upma Koora.  The stuffed cabbage was gross and looked gross; so I did not take any pictures.

Sushi and the Loss of a Hard Drive

I've been MIA this week, because last weekend shortly after I took these photos of our sushi dinner my hard drive died.
Rolls and Edamame
Mexican roll, salmon and avocado, shrimp tempura, and spicy spider roll
You should see a hard drive here, but there's none...

I thought it might just be a cable issue, but the next day when I went to Apple, they told me my hard drive was gone and needed to be replaced.  I had not backed up on Time Machine in over two years!  $170 later, and I have a functional computer.  Word to the wise: back up your computers!!!
