Down Dog

Yesterday I spent lots of time with Becky and her cute family. Becky and I went to yoga at 24 Hour Fitness. Man, am I sore today! I wasn't this sore yesterday. I must have done 100 down dogs! I wonder if Becky is sore, too?

Becky, Dana and I went to World Market. I was surprised to discover that they sell mostly furniture. For some reason, I thought they sold mostly food.

Becky and Ray had me watch 3 episodes of "Flapjack and Captain K-nuckles." What a weird show! Kinda gross for little kids. It was silly, but a bit disgusting. I did end up telling the kids about 2 of the episodes today. Meagan and Amber have seen it before, but not the boys.

Becky, Ray, Dana and Byron came over last night to bring David his birthday present. His favorite part was the "plexiglass" toilet candy that Becky bought at World Market. It was a plastic toilet with powdered candy in it and two "plunger" suckers. Silly.

They got here while we were putting together our 72 hour kits. We still don't have everything in them, but at least we found a permanent spot for them and I know what we need to get next.

Jarom, Cameron and Amber played outside with Dana. Meagan was at work, so she missed out. Jarom took the bubble gun he got for Easter outside and blew lots of bubbles for Dana. She was thrilled, except she wanted to be in control of the gun and Jarom wasn't too excited about that. I took Byron out and he liked the bubbles, too. We found out that Thor is terrified of bubbles. That surprised us. He hid under the Suburban for awhile then ran across the street.

Byron had to check out everything in our living room. Fortunately we still have a baby gate, so we were able to keep him in one room. Our living room is now mostly baby proof. I got out the plastic Noah's ark. Byron played with that for awhile. He also had to check out an old glow stick, the bread machine (doesn't everyone have one of those in their living room?), a power strip, all the books and papers on the hall tree, the printer (he figured out how to turn it on), the filing cabinet, David's oxygen...

When we thought we had picked up everything he could possibly stick in his mouth, Byron found a clump of dog fur on the floor, which rather delighted him. He liked the dog, too. So did Dana, Becky and Ray. And Jetta loved them. In fact, she followed them out to the car. When Ray told her to get in the car, she obediently jumped in and took his spot. After we got her out, she jumped back in again. I think Jetta would go live with them, if she could. We would miss her, though!

I guess Meagan and Tyler are officially over after almost 2 years. Poor Meagie. She's tough, though. She'll be ok. Hopefully she waits awhile before she gets another steady boyfriend. A couple of years, I'm thinking.

Mom said that Holly went to the doctor and found out that her liver tumors are actually shrinking. That is awesome! I hope it continues until the tumors are completely gone. I guess fasting and prayer do work. Of course, God does answer prayers in His own way. Sometimes it's in the way we hope for, like this time, it seems.

Hooray! I had so much fun with you and your cute family on Saturday. We need to do that more often!

EVERYTHING hurt yesterday, but this morning my neck was so sore it was giving me a headache and I wanted to die! I think my muscles are rebelling. Guess I'll just have to keep going until they don't hurt!

Sorry if Flapjack grossed you out. Dana just loves it. Sometimes I can't believe it's a Y7 show...

What happened with Meagan and Tyler? I feel bad for Meagan because that always sucks. Though I've realized over the years and after getting married that the stuff you think is love in HS is really just overactive hormones. :)

P.S. I checked your new food blog and I'm excited to see what you post!

Going to yoga on Saturday and the ensuing pain made me realize that I really need to make exercise more of a priority in my life. I feel so much better when I exercise! Do you feel that sore after zumba? Flapjack was gross, but it was kind of funny, too. I woke up Sunday morning with, "Hmm, yes, hmm, yes" going through my mind. "Where did that come from?" I asked myself. Oh, yeah, Dr. Barber. And I had to tell the kids about Plant Man.

As far as Tyler and Meagan, Tyler had been avoiding her for about a month. When he finally saw her again, he broke up with her. He told her there was no other girl, he just wanted to be on his own for a while. A while was apparently not even a day. Jerk. Oh well. Meagan and I think the other girl was the reason he was avoiding her for a month. Maybe graduating from HS a quarter early made him feel he was "too mature" for Meagan? Maybe she's better off without him.

BTW, thanks for lunch. It was yummy! Next time it's my turn to buy!

Yeah, my food blog should be interesting. We'll see what comes of it. All least it's a place to store all my research, etc.

Re: Tyler...what a JERK! She's much better off if that's what was going on. SHEESH! He was kind of obnoxious anyway. :)

I know you secretly love Dr. Barber and his freaky fishhead things. I'm sad the one with the hot towels wasn't on anymore. That one isn't gross.

I am always way sore after Zumba in my legs/feet, but I think Yoga worked completely different muscles that I've been ignoring ~ like my wimpy arms. Oh my goodness...they have been so sore. I'm going to Yoga again tonight, so we'll see if I fare any better! (I was going to go to Yoga yesterday morning, but my muscles were so sore I thought I'd better give myself a day off.)

I'll talk to Ray about Friday plans and give you a call later! (Although Dana really wants to come to your house so she can play with your goggie.)
