Random Thoughts

I've been doing aerobics for the past two weeks. Mondays and Wednesdays are water aerobics and Tuesdays and Thursday are Step aerobics. I like the classes a lot. They are challenging. It gets me out of bed in the morning and I'm motivated to do things for the rest of the day. But, I AM SO SORE! They are taught by the mother of my step-daughters. It's an interesting situation but a very pleasant one. Over the past seven years we have become friends and I really enjoy her classes. She works harder than anyone in the class (she uses 20lb dumb bells while I'm using a measly 6 pounder!) and it's just downright inspiring. And, she always knows when to yell, "KEEP GOING! ALMOST THERE!" I don't know if I get a look on my face when I'm about to quit, but she always knows when to yell at me. Here's the crux of the situation. I have to go back to work on Monday and I can't take her class anymore. I'm sad. There are other toning classes I can take at the gym; yoga, too. But it won't be the same. Ah well. Maybe in a year.

Saw my cousin, Sammi this week and we went to the beach. I really enjoy hanging out with her. She comes down about once a year. She reminds me how important family is. I've also been spending time with my cousin Angela who lives in Houston. She had a baby in January and last month was the first time I got up there to see her. So sad. I use the baby as an excuse, but I really love just talking with Angela. I'll have to keep visiting if she'll have me.
The show "My Name is Earl" makes me think of my aunt Lisa when she says, "What the hell?" Ah. Good times.

I am not ready for school to start again. My summers seem to be getting shorter and shorter. But, my new motto is, "I can do anything for a year!" I will keep to it. I'm excited about the new principal. She is motivated and works HARD! Makes me want to work hard for her. I think it may be a tough transition for many students, but it'll be what's best for everyone and I'm willing to dig in and play my part.

That is all for now.
