Handy Husband

My husband's mechanical/technical abilities never fail to amaze me.  Here he is last weekend when he replaced the motor that rolls our car window down, and fixed the air conditioner. 

Estimated cost of repairs done by a mechanic:  $500
Actual cost of repairs done by handy husband:  $43.00
Handy Husband:  Priceless

30 Day Shred

Has anyone else here tried Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred?  If you have I'd love to hear your experience with it.

We have a trip to Vegas coming up soon, and immediately following that I will be seriously hitting the gym/workout DVDs/what have you.  As convenient as it is that one lap around our block is precisely one quarter mile, my humble laps around the neighborhood are just not enough to keep this booty in shape these days.  Couple that with the fact that we are inching ever closer to our first 100° day for the year and you have a recipe for disaster.  Or at the very least a recipe for 'Amy doesn't want to work out outside anymore.'

So if anyone has tried it, let me know, I'd love to hear your results!

If I get gutsy, maybe I'll even chronicle this little adventure right here on my blog.  Just maybe.

Does anybody else think that Piper Perabo bears an uncanny resemblance to Carly Simon?
