		<title>Test Day Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My infrequency of posts (and of reading other blogs) is directly due to putting time into working at the dojang.  Not instructing mind you, but actual paid office work.  But that&#8217;s a story in and of itself, one that I will probably not go into great detail here.  Part of that is due to my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=215&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Day Has Come&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[for my Black Belt test!  It&#8217;s amazing that this day is here finally.  I&#8217;m looking forward to performing my best and having fun.  It&#8217;s going to be a LONG day though.  I need to be at the dojang at 8 am and I don&#8217;t anticipate leaving until about 6 pm, and that will be to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=212&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Look!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was getting tired of the stock WordPress theme I had been using, so I picked one with a little customization&#8230;namely the header.  In all my tinkering I&#8217;ve discovered that there is a definite lack of photos accompanying my posts.  I will have to remedy that in the future.

		<title>P90X = Ooof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, well, well, what have we here?  Amy decided to take the plunge, step up her game, and jump into P90X.  I&#8217;ve been at the same state of fitness for several months now, and while I&#8217;m happy here, for the most part, I really would like a smokin&#8217; bod at least once in my life.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=204&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Two Down, One to Go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saturday was my requirement check for my black belt test.  Our academy decided to have those testing for full rank come to a pre-test to perform all the requirements for our test (which is a lot more for full rank than for a standard color belt test).  I was stressing about it so much the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=200&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Is it Possible to be Both a Dick AND a Dork?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever done something that you felt was quite innocent at the time, but think about it later and realize that you may have been a total dick to someone?  Then you agonize over it, and beat yourself up, finally apologizing, and that person was like, what the hell are you apologizing for?  And [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=193&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts from my Morning Ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I logged 14.75 miles today and I also made some observations, presented to you in a handy dandy bullet list, whee!

How is it that my route felt like it was uphill both ways?
To the lady coming out of the dog park with her dog on a 10&#8242; lead.  It is not cool to stop to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=188&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pre-Test Checklist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Saturday is Part 2 of 3 of my Black Belt test.  It is the longest and most involved part, and once I get past this, it&#8217;s fairly smooth sailing.  Let&#8217;s see how prepared I am (everything needs to be turned in on Saturday):
Test Application &#8211; not filled out yet
Essay &#8211; half-way done
Test Fee &#8211; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=198&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Flying Without Leaving the Ground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My youngest daughter wanted to ride her bike to school the other day.  I decided to ride with her so I could help her lock up.  My 11 year old left her ID card at home, so I decided that after getting my youngest to school, I would just bike to the junior high school [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=186&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Eight Years Later, It&#8217;s Still Easier to Distract Myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eight years ago, my husband was in Manhattan on business and I was home with a three year old and 6 month old.  The shock of what happened was such that I didn&#8217;t even think about my husband being in the area until my neighbor asked if he was traveling.  Then I was freaking out.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minivanninja.wordpress.com&blog=2586496&post=180&subd=minivanninja&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
