Venn Diagrams

more music charts

Oh, I loved math in high school, but I didn't know at the time that Venn diagrams could be funny.  Thanks, Graph Jam!

Today I was setting up my station for powerflex and chatting with my friend about our weekend sickness and how I am not quite up to par.  Then I took off my sweats and my shorts were inside out.  I just left them that way.  I give up.  I've turned into my husband.  He had better shape up on the detailed/organized front or else we'll end up dressing like circus performers and talking to buildings soon.

Currently, I am avoiding the phone conference that E and L's preschool does each November.  It's not an evaluation but a friendly "your kid is doing fine and here are the activities s/he enjoys most" type of phone call.  The teachers just want to touch base in case any problems ARE looming; they can be nipped.  You all know my phone phobia.  WHAT was I thinking when I put E and L into different groups?  Now I have TWO phone conferences to endure!  Each teacher has called me twice so I am moving from "just really busy" territory to "rude."  GACK.

I'm trying to talk my extremely fitness conscious sister-in-law into coming to ZUMBA! with me tomorrow.  She's coordinated and teaches yoga, kickboxing, etc so I think she'd pick it up quickly.  I have been coveting the instructor's shoulders and back (since that's mainly the part of her I see during class) and then I found out that she teaches TEN (10) ZUMBA! classes a week.  So I have given up my dream of being her identical back-and-shoulders-twin.  There is no way my 4-5 classes a week are nearly equivalent to 10 ZUMBA! classes.  I should probably give up my envy of her adorable pixie haircut, too.  My round face cannot carry a haircut made for someone with delicately sculpted features.  I think, deep down, I just want to look like an elf.

If you are traveling this weekend, I hope you are safe.  We are remaining in town, splitting our time Thursday between my brother's family (and the friends they are visiting) and my in-laws.  I signed up for appetizers for both gatherings so I am bringing things I know my kids will eat: cheese, hummus, crackers, fruit and marshmallow dip.  Neither home is child-proofed so it will be somewhat wearying trying to keep C from hurting herself and away from breakable objects.  However, there will be pie, so it evens out in the end.

I am delurking to say that the "I think, deep down, I just want to look like an elf." comment was great. Made me spit my wine out a little! Been reading your blog since C was born (I had a baby girl around the same time) and I have enjoyed your writing, thanks!

Well, your daughter does look elven, so maybe you have some elf in you somewhere. Except that you'd have to be some kind of a mutant, what with you being a wee bit of a giant in the elf world and all. Maybe you're half elf, half giant. Ever thought of THAT?

TEN CLASSES??? Okay, she's a monster. With a good back and shoulders.

If i could support myself by teaching ten ZUMBA? classes a day, i would be content. More content than i already am, i mean.

Glad everyone is feeling better!

I'm glad you guys are feeling better, and I hope you had a faboo bday and Thanksgiving.

Hey, does Zumba! have a lot of jumping, or is it relatively low-impact? My horrible, awful, no-good, very bad feet/ankles can't take the high impact stuff anymore. It sounds interesting. I need something more motivating than the bike and weight room!

I love Zumba and my instructor is so cooridanted - she can move her shoulders independently of her hips. I find that impossible. Ordinary aerobics seem very slow to me now. My venn diagram is "what I have in the fridge" and "what I know how to make" and they seldom overlap.
