I don't really have anything new to say. Just mad ramblings. But I feel like I haven't posted anything to this blog in a while.....so here goes.
It was a crazy week for us this past week. Our church held a revival Monday through Wednesday, and we had GQ's last soccer practice last night. Today is FINALLY Friday! Blue Eyes and I are just chillin' at home while GQ is in school. And it's raining outside. YAY for rainy nap days!
I'm having trouble being motivated to do much today. I blame it on the weather.......and my little Vietnamese fireball of a fitness instructor. I'm not exactly sure what has gotten into him these last few days. But I am convinced that he's trying to slowly and painfully kill me....and see if he can make my limbs fall off first! I've been doing this for a while now, without recent soreness I might add. And just when I figure out what is going on in that class, he goes and starts this "zumba" junk. And when I say junk.....I mean it! And now I am having trouble moving without wincing!
I have absolutely NO rhythm! None, zilch, nada...you get the point. This Zumba stuff requires that you have at least some rhythm to be able to keep up. It's a lot of hopping, jumping, bending, twisting....and did I mention hopping? Bouncing from one thing to another so fast it will make your head spin. It seems like if I could do it properly, that it would be really good for my fitness. Lots of cardio.......if it doesn't kill you, it's probably good for you, right?!?
Back to my Vietnamese fireball of a fitness instructor. He's so fun, which makes me love him and hate him at the same time. Yes, trust me, it's possible. Come to one of his zumba classes and you will totally understand what I am talking about. But this week it has been more hate than love. I'm not sure what has gotten into him. I asked him where all of this extra energy was coming from. He said he had been getting more sleep. Curses to Mr. Dinh sleeping! It isn't good for my health!
Other than the fact that he's trying to kill me, there isn't much new in our lives. The boys are doing great, the weather is cooling off, we love life. That's about it.
We are ready for some turkey and dressing....yum! I'm mostly ready because that means putting up the Christmas tree, or Lola, as she is referred to in our house. The past few years I have put it up around the 10th of November. Left Brain put his foot down this year and said "NO Christmas anything until the day after Thanksgiving!!" So I agreed to wait. As much as it pains me, I realize that we should let Thanksgiving have it's holiday untainted by Christmas trees and stockings. :(
In other Christmas news, I have started my Christmas shopping. I actually started back in October, but haven't finished much. I have decided on a surprise for Left Brain! I NEVER surprise him! Partially because he is the hardest person on the planet to shop for and I can't come up with any ideas. But this time I am getting him concert tickets. Don't worry, he doesn't read this "silly blog", as he calls it. Garth Brooks is putting on a one time show in Nashville in December. Left Brain LOVES Garth Brooks' music. He has since he was a child. This is the perfect surprise! He hasn't heard about it.
Now.....for the hard part. Keeping the secret from him. I LOVE to tell EVERYONE what I bought them for Christmas. It's a weakness of mine that I am working on correcting. But it's hard to keep something so fun a secret! I'll never make it! :)
Does anyone have anything fun planned for Christmas? Anyone going on vacation instead of exchanging gifts? I've thought about doing that...like anyone in my family needs anything anyway.
Well, I hope all of you enjoy the upcoming holiday season...give thanks, be merry, celebrate!
