I survived

I survived I think. I have muscles that are sore where I did not know I had muscles! Frankly, it feels like I have been beat up with a 2x4! I spend 8 hours of picking spent blooms off off flowers and pulling itsy bitsy weeds that were growing in the beds. 8 hours of bending over and scooting on the ground. It was hot and humid. I will do it again in a heartbeat! LOL
Ok I need to get busy. I have got to work some of this soreness out of me and clean house.
P.S I will be working a couple days next week too. This time I will be doing grout.

new day

I cannot believe I am about to say this... I leave for work in about an hour. You heard me. I am working today. I have not "worked" in 15 years! It is only 1 day, but it could lead to more days in the future. I will be pulling weeds out of planters and plucking dead flowers for 8 hours at least.

has anybody checked out the new moods? They are awesome!

Black Belt

Brook now has her First Degree black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. It has been a long hard journey to get to this point. In July 2004 she started her first class. Time goes by, test after test she slowly progresses. In the first year she goes from white to yellow, yellow to orange, to purple, green and finally blue. The blue was a hard one. That test she took with both of her arms encased in casts. Nothing was going to stop her. She had a goal. She joined the demo team, performed in talent shows at school. She performed in a national  kid's talent search. She has performed at the Riverbend and will once again go there this year and perform.  Last year just 2 weeks short of taking her finial test to get her black belt she broke yet another bone. This time she doubted if she would ever be able to make her goal. Friday she realized her goal.  It was a day of blood, sweat, tears and smiles. My sweet darling made it.
