Rambling Journal entry
Since Sam and I are trying to get in the habit of journaling I thought I’d type something quick before jumping in bed. Hope it all makes sense and there aren’t too many typos. LOL! Going camping this weekend with the dojo. Lots to do tomorrow to get ready. We’re all excited. Bob does Hospital [...]
Panther Practice
Last night was a good practice. After the kids, Sensei worked with the adults. Which was me… aaaand 3 black belts. I need to work on the low stances in fukyugata ichi and my turns into them. Also need to look a little more intense during presentation. I’m coming up neutral. That’s not bad, but [...]
Latin and Pancakes

Karate Class
freewrite style… Worked on hip rotation tonight. I don’t have it quite right. Must practice more! Sensei says it is because women hate to make their butt jiggle. LOL! I don’t think I have a problem with that because at 42… EVERYTHING JIGGLES. Seems to me that it is more my lack of balance at [...]

Rambling Thoughts Ahead
BEWARE! We are eagerly awaiting news on Bob Martin’s performance in the Club Nationals Tri this morning! I spun up an ounce of alpaca while kids had electronics time. Now trying to motivate the three of us through morning routines while it is still morning. LOL! Maybe we’ll do some fishing this afternoon. It rained [...]

Smooth Sailing
Wow! Smooth sailing today. We had lunch with DH at Chipotle’s and I even got some sewing done while the kids did their Sketch Tuesday assignments and listened to Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare. Talk about multitasking! The one thing we didn’t get to was copywork. I want to get that back into our day soon! [...]
