With all the extra time spent on my ass a few weeks ago feeling sorry for myself, I was sure I was going to put on some poundage. Surprisingly, I weighed myself this week and I’ve lost 5 lbs. in the past 2 months. I’m attributing some of that to the intense workouts I got [...]
Had a meeting with Grandmaster today to clarify a few requirements. Was honest with him when I told him that certain things are not covered in class more than once every couple months, and being tested on these things hardly seems fair when there is no opportunity to learn and put them to practice. He [...]
Going into the weekend with nothing on the calendar for Saturday or Sunday is a rare and beautiful thing. The prospect of becoming a couch slug and catching up on my recorded shows while ignoring the phone sounds like the perfect weekend to me.
Alas, it was not to be.
Saturday morning I was trying like hell [...]
My schedule has been so crazy lately that I’ve become entirely unreliable to friends and family. My cousin asked me to bring a fruit salad to her son’s 1st birthday party. That morning I was up at 5:30 to get my daughter to her swim meet by 6:45 am and stayed there until about noon. [...]
Went to the bookstore today to pick up All New Square Foot Gardening and a few other books. For the longest time I’ve been wanting to pick up a Cooking Light cookbook, so I grabbed Cooking Light Superfast Suppers: Speedy Solutions for Dinner Dilemmas.
Wow.
I made the Italian Pork Chops with Rosemary-Garlic Foccacia and steamed broccoli. [...]
Thought I would share what my kids looked like this halloween. One was a sandwich and one was a grandma. I had a lot of fun putting these costumes together and would definately do homemade ones again.
If that’s true, I’ve got an IQ off the charts. Are any of you out there hyper-organized? How do you do it, especially with kids? I feel like I clean the same parts of the house day after day. We have too much stuff around here as well. I can’t figure out where to make [...]
I’m going to try to stay up and watch election returns. I might need caffeine, because I suspect it’s going to be a long night. I really don’t want to fall asleep without knowing how it all turns out. I’d hate to get up in the morning and be greeted with crushing disappointment when reading [...]
I participated in class last week, with major limitations, and I just got back from a private lesson. The ankle is feeling pretty good, my range of motion is probably 80% of normal and the pain is minor. My fingernails are bitten and chewed up after missing class for 3 weeks. Grandmaster is going to [...]
