This weekend, and by weekend I mean Saturday, went well. Better than I expected by a whole lot, actually. I had a Tae Soo Do tournament in Madison, WI. I drove down on Friday night after I ended up working over an hour past my shift. We left the cities at 10:30 and got to Madison at 2:30 (yeah, I drove no slower than 65 mph for 4 hours straight ( Read more... )

As a Christmas present, I received a box from Century martial arts. I've been wanting a pair of women's martial arts pants for awhile. My current ones are too tight in the thigh and calf and too long in the crotch so when I do things like splits, I have to hike them up twoor three times before I actually get to where my legs are stretching. They ( Read more... )

I got slammed at work yesterday and didn't get a chance to finish my re-cap. In fact, I went halfway back to Madison last night.

( So, Saturday was tournament )

I'm cutting this up so I can keep track of it. It was a really long weekend, in a good way.

This weekend is shaping up to be a bit nuts. Well, this weekend shaped up to be nuts a few weeks ago, but it is becoming real now. So, the rundown, in reverse ( Read more... )

Well, I got the obligatory "get hit by a car on my bike" out of the way for the season this morning. Luckily, there was no injury and not even significant damage to my bike or the car. Low-speed impact since the person was turning out of a driveway and I couldn't stop in time when I realized she wasn't going to look over at me. Hey, at least it ( Read more... )

Jason has learned that I photosynthesize happiness. If I'm antsy, depressed, annoyed, have a headache or am in just about any other way not happy, he sends me outside. I come back happy, though unlike a plant I usually end up more hungry rather than full of delicious sunlight ( Read more... )

So, it's been a busy week and change for me. My brother is in town, which is been awesome. Usually, he is a huge flake about hanging out with me until the last minute because he thinks I'll just magically be there, but this time I told him not to be and he listened and I've hung out with him 3 nights this week. I really enjoy being around my ( Read more... )

And, I'm out of town. Again. I'm down in Arizona now, bumming around at my Grandma's. At least this constant traveling to relatives houses is keeping down my food bills. Not that I'm eating that much less, but more that I don't have to pay for my own food. And you'd be amazed at how much of a difference that is making in my budget at the ( Read more... )

This weekend was fun in a much mellower way than last weekend. Saturday morning I interviewd a friend's housemate and then ended up hanging out with my friendsd after my interviewee had to go to work. I learned how to shoot a rifle. First we made a sieve of a pie plate (I don't think I got closer than the haybale it was sitting on, though the ( Read more... )
