Happy Monday, everyone. Over the weekend I went to the local Goodwill where I found these beautiful cups – just the lone green patterned one, but six of the cinnabar orange Japanese ones ... and all for five bucks! This find makes me happy, even though I really went to Goodwill to look for a platter to serve the dark chocolate tart I donated to Liam's school auction. More on that tart another time – dark chocolate, a spelt-farro flour shortbread crust (inspired by Alice Medrich), so incredibly good.
This morning I did something VERY out of character. I went to a 5:45 am Jazzercise class. Now, if you're anything like me, you wouldn't have known Jazzercise was still around ... You would have thought it was a thing of the eighties, right? Wrong. And, if you're anything like me, the thought of a 5:45 am exercise class would make you cringe. And the Jazzercise itself would seem slightly embarrassing because you might not be the most coordinated person in the world and you have happily waved a firm goodbye to the eighties. And you hate to work out in public, but really not many people are there at that horrific hour, quite understandably so. Anyway, I went because a friend of mine (HI, AMY!) substitute teaches the class and she's only doing two more sessions, so I figured what the hell? I stayed up way too late last night, woke up at 5:40, threw on some clothes and went to Jazzercise. And you know what's great about doing this? When I got home at 7:00, Liam and Ben were still sleeping, but I'd already worked out for an hour. So I get to feel pretty damn good about myself today.
One other thing that makes today pretty wonderful? My new cards and print got a shout-out from the always-lovely Grace at Design Sponge.

Nice find!
I'm a huge fan of early morning exercise (although I've never made it quite that early). The gym is less crowded and I get to feel smug the rest of the day.
Woo hoo, sister! I was VERY impressed that you came. Hope you feel good all day long!
