For Kathleen

This post is dedicated to Kathleen, who found my blog and was then distressed that it only had two posts. I promised her last night that I would fix that, so here goes. :)

I am sad that one of my favorite Englishmen is leaving in two weeks to head back to England. He has been Operations Manager here for the Varsity Basketball team, and was always entertaining when playing IM sports - especially softball. I told him yesterday that he was the highlight of my softball season and that I was sad. He's a real cutie, too, even when you don't add in the accent. :) haha
Anyways, on a happier note, yesterday was busy, but all in all good. Worked for 6 hours, then played racquetball with Mary Anna, then had an appointment, and then did back-to-back fitness classes. I wasn't sure I was up for Ashtanga Yoga after my appointment, but when I told Beau I had a lot of anxiety, he said he did, too, and we should work it out together. So I went. And I was able to do the Upward Dog Pose correctly for the first time - yay! I followed his hard class with Carrie's hard class, Boxilates, so I'm pretty sore today. I'm sad I'll probably be missing Kickboxing this Thursday if I do go back down to NC for the holiday like I think I might. The Rec Center will be closed on the Fourth since the entire student staff (all like 6 of us, ha) completely ignored Theran's emails asking for people to work four hours on Friday. Nope, we didn't even respond with a "no"... we just ignored the fact that he kept emailing us about it. But it worked! :) If I do go down to my Dad's for the Fourth, my Mom might stop by and celebrate with us since she's thinking of driving down to see Granddaddy since his health isn't so good anymore. It all depends on my brother's work schedule and the visiting hours for Granddaddy though. My brother works at Hardee's now apparently. When I find out which one and his schedule, I will let y'all know so if you're in the Beach area you can go by and harrass him as a cashier, haha.
Today I think I might practice some racquetball after work, and then relax at home maybe until Step class, which I may or may not follow with Pilates. I'll see how I feel after Step. If I don't do Pilates I'll definitely do some machines and/or cardio. Isn't my life so exciting? Work and working out. :P I try and entertain people and stay entertained though. Mary Anna was so funny this morning, especially when I showed her some award-winning National Geographic pictures my Mom sent me a while back. Her commentary was too funny. She also informed me that she mentioned me and the Mensa List 2008 on her radio show last night, haha. Some of those words are awesome though. (My Mom said that number four reeeeeaaally made her think of me, haha. Wonder why... :P *shudders*) I'll include it here as I sign off for now. Enjoy!

"Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to
