As I tend to use that title with some frequency, I should probably make it a more regular feature. Basically it’s when I have a whole bunch of crap to talk about, and I mash it all into one, long post.
On Our New House
We’ve finally moved! We sold our older, serviceable and fairly cute but way, WAY too small for us townhouse and moved into a dreamy, nicer, newer, way, WAY bigger, doesn’t-feel-like-a-townhouse townhouse in the very same neighborhood we so dearly love. Still having so much to unpack sucks royally, but we are on our own schedule for it now and are free from the vast majority of the stress that had enveloped us throughout the moving process. My 5 year old son keeps telling me how much he loves it, and occasionally my husband and I pinch ourselves in disbelief and wonder how we got so lucky.
Oh, and have you heard? I live in a spa resort. At least, it feels like I do. Our new place is super quiet, it is nice and large, it is all tricked out with nifty upgraded features that make us feel spoiled, we have a huge, comfy new king-sized bed, and did I mention how quiet it is? Ahhhhh…
On being a “Pole Master”
This is one of the most fun things I have ever accomplished, hands down. After a couple of years and an injury stop-restart, I completed 6 levels of pole dance instruction and spent 8 more weeks prepping to put on a graduation show. What a freaking blast! The music is great, the ladies are even better, and it’s still the very best workout I have ever had. So much more I want to continue to do and learn with it, and I can’t wait to get another chance to perform. I loved it, and I loved getting to show off to my friends, family, and even total strangers!
On Having Hawaii-Bound Friends
Exiting my life are two of my best friends and their two kids, who are some of my kid’s best friends. I am so, so happy and excited for them, yet so so SO terribly sad to lose our proximity to them. It is hard to find people in life that you have so much in common with, are so compatible with, have kids your kids’ age, have been in your life for a bunch of years, and that also happen to live just a few seconds down the road, but we were lucky enough to have had that with them, for a good while now. Now they are embarking on their own fantasy life’s adventure by up and moving to Hawaii. Who could blame them? I can’t wait to hear about their adventures.
On the Fitness Horizon
The marathon I signed up for before we decided to sell our house and move over the winter didn’t happen. The 10 miler I cut it down to when I knew the marathon was out of the question isn’t going to happen, it being in 11 days. I am going to enter a 5 miler in my neighborhood this Saturday, which is going to kick off my return to fitness, but which is also going to HURT.
After that, Sprint Tri in my backyard, the same one I’ve done the last two years, except this time I will do it in both June and August. And then in September, my boss, who is in the process of kicking breast cancer’s ass, has asked me to do a 3-Day (60 mile) fundraising walk with her, and I was honored so I accepted. (Marathon Plan 2.0 will be for next year…)
On What’s Next?
VEGAS, BABY!! Mid-April. Suite with a view of the strip, pool weather, The Little White Wedding Chapel, dear friends, swanky food, and a crapload of fun. ‘Nuf said.
