The Body for life site that eats up my time is not functioning right now. What will I do with my evening? Laundry? Yuck. Ok, grade papers. Double yuck.

We changed gyms, thank goodness. The YMCA was driving me crazy. We are back at LA Fitness and I love it. I’m sure all the people that go to the Y are nice, but I am so happy to see younger people working out and not standing around talking- and I actually don’t mind the muscle heads, they inspire me. I know they had to work hard to get where they are. On the BFL side, I have found my angle for my essay. I won’t reaveal it yet, but I’ll post it when I’m done. I need to get some major muscles this time.

OOOOOOOOOOO! I can’t wait!

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

from 4-5 for teenagers. That way I can frickin’ get on for 5 minutes.

Too all the people who came and supported and hung out and gave items for the Catalina garage sale. The Grand total is…..$220! So great. I have had many garage sales and several have been aboout $60. So this is super. It almost pays for one whole kid! (Bonus: we all got rid of a bunch of crap we needed to unload!)
