The test was a blast. Hard work, but not as bad as I expected. There was only one other blue belt adult and I have tested with her before. It was nice working with her.
A couple of the male senseis noticed my nails - fingers and toes. Cracked me up. But whenever I was having a rough time and having to go to my "zen place", it usually included reminding myself of how something as simple as nail polish makes me happy. Not sure if I'm explaining that right.
Tomorrow is CJ's turn to test. While I got to test at my regular dojo, his test is in the Denver HQ and with the Master. His test should also be 3 or so hours while mine was just 2 hours.
Ok, beyond all the mememe stuff, congrats to Brenda's brother. And I have never used a broiler drawer.
Suzi, I used to train glittered for similar reasons. I'm glad to hear it went well.
Kat--you around tomorrow morning?
AM? NSM, ita. We'll have Grace so we'll be home after noon for nap time for sure. Grace will nap anywhere but Noah won't.
LAistas... any recs on housecleaners?
We use Home Sweet Home, and they've been great. I'm pretty sure that they are a franchise organization, though, so I'm not sure if the one local to you would be as awesome as our has been.
Any meat I'd want cooked on a grill I put in the broiler drawer. You just have to monitor carefully. Flames. Choose flames. It was good enough for your protohuman ancestors, it's good enough for you.
Good job, Suzi! Go CJ!
Next year Emmett moves up to adult Krav classes and gets tested regularly. The teachers really like him so I expect him to get bruised a lot.
Mmmmm, I've been trying to finesse the abundance of Meyer lemons (courtesy of javachik) with vodka tonics and have found that a mix of half Meyer plus half lime juice is ideal (for me anyway).
ION, a week and a half into the season and both the A's and Giants are in first place. Both teams have stellar pitching, but the Giants is More Stellar, and both teams have suck hitting but the A's hitting sucks more. In short, the Giants first place is more sustainable as the A's whomp on truly pathetic teams like the M's and O's. (Alphabits!)
Gigantes are getting whomped right now, though.
I shoulda told Matt and Beth to come in and relax and have some wine when they came over to get the cat crate. Then I wouldn't be suffering through this game. :(

This makes me unbelievably happy. Thanks for sharing that, ita.
I really should go to bed, but that would involve moving. Don't wanna.

Yeah, but Wellemeyer's pitching. If they win a third of his games they'll win the division.

I may have hermitted by then. I'll have to see how the pain goes.
Thanks for sharing that, ita.
My pleasure. I also used to share with my male wrestling partners, apparently to the displeasure of wives and girlfriends, which? Really? Is it that much worse rolling around on the floor with a strange woman if she sparkles>
