The End of Summer

Well, I haven't blogged in a few days because 1) we've been busy with a lot of nothing and 2) I haven't had too much to say. Saturday I got my hair cut. It was great. Why is a cut and color can change your whole outlook? I felt much better. But, it didn't really help the "I feel fat" syndrome I have working. It really isn't a syndrome when your pants are actually too tight but it makes me feel better to say that. So...I joined a new gym. We have belonged to a small gym around the corner that is great, but they don't have child care. And, when you have to find a babysitter to go the gym, you always think of something else you should do while you have the sitter. So...I managed to talk myself out of going a lot.

The new gym has childcare and it is great. I really like it. Everyone told me to try this cardio class they have. I scoped it out on Monday and it was packed. I was a little worried if I could make it since I haven't been in so long but thought I would try it on Wed and position myself towards the back so no one would notice if I had to fake a few steps or oh, I don't know passed out. So, on Wed, I roll in and wouldn't you know it...it was me and the teacher only! I had to explain how I was out of shape and hadn't been working out lately, blah, blah, blah. She basically tells me I can't hide at the back if it is just me and her. Oh brother. It was a tough workout but fun. i really enjoyed it. I am sure I was entertaining as some of the steps through me off balance a bit. Oh--and my boobs were bouncing ALL over the place. it was so bad I had to make a joke about it because I was laughing at myself. And yes, I was wearing a sports bra but apparently it wasn't heavy duty enough for the twins. When the kids start school, a new bra is first on my agenda! Anyway, a lot of sweat, and a few chuckles later, I survived the class. It was fun and I am sure to be sore but I made it! I was pretty sure I was on candid camera though.

Oh, I also went to Norman this week for Bid Day. My niece, Kelsey, went through rush and so we went to see her. It was great. After a very long week and a lot of stress (not on Kelsey's part but those of us at home), we all survived. She pledged AOII and I think she is happy. A lot has changed since we were there and I do not recall rush being like that, but she was so great and resilient and flexible. I was very proud of her and think they are lucky they got her. I know she is going to have a great year and thrive!

So, the last few days of summer have been all about planning ahead and making changes. It will be interesting to see what I am doing in December!
