My Fruit Trees Are Flowering
Written by Melissa Tosetti   
Thursday, 11 March 2010

This morning I noticed that the fruit trees we planted last year are starting to flower.  With a little luck and continued good weather, I should be able to harvest our first crop early this summer. 

We did have one casualty.  Spur decided that pomegranate trees are good for teething.  She chewed it to the ground.  I am already on the lookout for a replacement tree.

I have been paying special attention to Vegas room rates as Paul and I are planning a 10 year anniversary trip this fall.  We were married at the Bellagio in 2000.  I've got my eye on rooms at Paris or The Venetian.

Beer & Pizza
Written by Melissa Tosetti   
Wednesday, 10 March 2010

A long standing Tosetti Family Tradition is our weekly Beer and Pizza Night. I know, we are in the fitness industry, but this is a weekly indulgence that we deem "worth it". 

 
Up until about a year ago, we celebrated Pizza Night on Fridays. It was a nice treat after the work week and a great way to kick start the weekend. Then, one fateful day, I received a coupon in the mail from our beloved Round Table offering pizza for 50% off on Wednesday nights. 
 
For two weeks Paul and I debated the idea of switching pizza night to Wednesday nights. I was hesitant because we don't get home until close to 8:00 pm and it just seemed too decadent to do during the middle of the week. We finally decided to try it. Two things happened.
 
1. Over the course of the last year we have saved $624.52 by simply switching from one night to the other. Instead of paying $24 for pizza, we pay just $12.
 
2. We have created a wonderful family ritual that helps break up the work week and brings us together.
 
I am always on the lookout for ways to save money without infringing on our quality of life. This was a great experiment that worked out beautifully. 
 
I want to give a quick shout out to the staff at the Round Table in San Carlos, California. I love that when I call in our order, you ask if I want the usual and when I come in to pick it up, the entire staff greets me by name. Also, your Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza is fantastic!
