Random Stuff

Lots of wonderful things are in bloom at the moment. Charlotte has roses, irises, and lots more in bloom. I took a few pics yesterday. Big storms were predicted so I tried to photograph them before they were destroyed. The roses smell like heaven. I would snap a shot and deeply inhale then repeat.

I just finished working out. There is nothing like the zen of step choreography to clear your mind. I bought the new Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown DVD this week. I totally love it. It is a true challenge. Several poses I simply can not do. Unfortunately the SWAT Workout with Commander Tom I also bought is terrible. He should really be ashamed that Jillian beats his workout with Yoga.

I went for a check up the other day with Dr. Brashears. I am the poster child for good health at 40 something. He applauds my numbers like cholesterol and stuff. Mike says I will live to be 100. I say a big truck will find me first. I sincerely hope Jesus comes back way before then. My blood pressure was the lowest one they have recorded yet. I usually have a low blood pressure but 92/40 is the lowest one yet. It seems odd to me because I have not changed anything to cause that. He says that is just normal for me.

No word back from UALR yet. I did get my MAT scores back. I am pleased to report a 93%. Apparently studying really does work. I'm thrilled to know I did not waste all of that time reviewing. That should help me get a spot. I meet and exceed all of the requirements. I hope to get some word any day now.

Mike is busy doing yard work and working on his Bronco. He has been researching cars lately. He and Jamie are scoping out potential rides for his first car. Mike is also thinking about a smaller more efficient car for me if I begin to commute to UALR in the fall.

Sarah just finished her science project for school. She is practicing hard for her upcoming dance recital. It will be fabulous as always. She brought out one of her costumes in a sandwich baggie this week. I was like -what part of your body does that cover? Think a one piece swimsuit with a skirt. It covers more than I thought thank goodness. Her hair has grown so long it is beginning to drive us both crazy. She is very active it has become to hard to take care of.

Jamie is still pumped about high school next year. He hopes to spend more time with percussion in the band. The director has told him he can play a variety of instruments during marching season. Mr. Hillman stopped by his science class the other day to tell students about biology next year. Jamie thinks he is awesome and can't wait to be in his class.
