Tis the Weekend!

I made it to boxing yesterday, but not without a bit of crazy.  I watched the youtube video on wrapping and wrapped both hands - success.  Then I checked out the class schedule to see who was teaching it AND, oh no, class was 30 minutes earlier than I thought.

I raced through getting dressed, running a comb through my hair, taking dogs out ... all with my dang hands wrapped!!  That was an adventure.  But I made it to class - by the skin of my teeth.

At first I really liked the class.  She had simpler move combinations which gave ME a better workout.  Then it got complicated.  Then I got exhausted.  Then my arms wanted to die.  I was struggling with the complicated foot work and I didn't get any instruction help.  I was bummed.  While I was actively dying, I decided when we get back from our trip, I'll take a private lesson to see what's what.  As I was leaving, the owner asked how it went ... I mentioned I was totally confused (I almost said fine).  The instructor heard and gave me a private 10 minute lesson.  She said to come a bit early next time and she'd help.  I felt much better.

Speaking up.  Solving a problem.  Sometime I don't do it - but it works when I do.

Tried another Jim Rohn CD and it's doing that too.  Maybe they all are formatted that way?  I'll listen to them at home.  I got to hear most of one yesterday on my drive to lunch with my youngest.  I'm not overly impressed.  You can see where Tony Robbins took his material and ran with it.  It seems basic and a bit boring actually.  Probably the price should've clued me in ... 6 CDs for $40.  The single CD I have is $38.  Anyway.  I'll poke around with it here and there.

Today is a full day.  HAIR DAY!!  Now that I'm the shade of blonde I want to be, there is no anxiety LOL.  I get a mini-keratin treatment that stays on until tomorrow so my hair has a thick coat of greasy film on it (picture unwashed hair for a month).  It needs to stay for 8 hours.  I usually hide for the rest of hair day.

BUT ...

We are going out tonight.  Yep - bummer.  My hair will look like dirty yuck.  It's not about having a bad hair moment, it's about a DIRTY looking hair moment.  Oh well.  I don't want to miss out on tonight.

We are headed to a local polo club that hosts outdoor concerts once a month over the summer.  It's hidden somewhere in our town!  I had no idea this existed.  We have lawn tickets - bring your own chair, cooler, etc.  The performers are songwriters from Nashville.  I'm really looking forward to the night.  We'll hang out for a bit, enjoy our picnic and sit and listen to music ... all with great company.  Sounds kind of perfect (except for my 'dirty' hair!!).

Tomorrow, hubby plays Wimbledon tennis playoffs so Duke and I will go and watch.  It's the never ending tennis talk channel this week.  It's the first time they've made the playoffs.  I'm proud of him.  That said, I thought the days of watching family play sports was over - I'm not such a sports girl.

Sunday is shopping for our trip.  I need a few tops and that's it.  Fingers crossed for good shopping karma.

Ellie is adjusting well to her new home.  Duke is adjusting to missing Ellie.  Things feel easier, but I miss that little spitfire!

That's all from here - yea weekend!  Later gators.
