Headlamps: Not just for hiking anymore . . .

RTW 1/20/2010

- Wow, what a difference from one week to the next . . . my job is exhausting and there is good exhausting and bad exhausting.  Last week was baaaaad, this week, this week oh, so good.

- I love my mother and think that she is the most giving and selfless person I know.  I am lucky she is mine, mine, mine.

- Tristan and I are going to have a table at a craft show.  I am thrilled that she has talent and is letting me be a part of it!  My talent is, well, it's me, who knows.

- I have been hula-hooping with our students at lunch, it is so much fun!  They smile and laugh and we all cheer each other on.  I can't wait until our workshop at school so they have the opportunity to make their own.

- Bob and I are finally getting our home improvements started.  It is kind of funny how a bit of crown molding and $50.00 can transform a room.

- I am super excited about going to Josh and Michelle's wedding and scared to death at the same time (you know, the whole flying thing - I am such a fraidy-cat).  MJ

The only place in the house with enough room to practice

Random Thoughts of the Week

- Wow, we have many January birthdays!

- I can't really figure out why it is so hard to get registered and be able to start taking classes again.  I want to give you my money, why won't you take it and let me start classes?

- I love making my own hula-hoop and being a part of this group.  These ladies are friendly, helpful and fun!  It is a fantastic way to spend a Thursday evening.  MJ

"Putting it all into perspective"

That's exactly what I would like to email out!  Our insurance permiums where raised this month.  Now I admit that I was displeased to only recieve a two week notice as to this fact, but . . .
- I have insuance
- I have a job that pays for part of my premium
- I may choose my health care provider
- In the event that myself or my husband may need surgery, I will not be bankrupt with a roughly $80,000 bill

On a side note . .  are New Kids on the Block really still making albums?

Random Thoughts for the Week

- returned home from two weeks of travel . . . what a super-duper time we had

- as hard as it is to be away from all of our friends and family there is a comfort in beinging at home

- there is never enough time to complete all the fabulous things that I want to complete

- until this week I had never let myself hula-hoop, I am glad that I am finding ways of letting go and being silly

Dunkin' Eggs

That's right, it's a "Dunkin' Egg" Sunday.  That's our new word for over-easy, compliments of E.Tate.  We kind of made a mess of our place when we arrived home last night, so today is clean-up, laundry and movie day.  We are already on our second movie.  We had such a wonderful vacation, it's hard to come back to daily life.  ARB said it best that "we have been in our own little world".  MJ
