can't trust that day.

Sometimes on sunday nights, i feel like i'm 9 years old.

If i go to bed, it's just gonna end up being monday again.

new dojo mats make for some wicked dirty feets.

but they're still awesome.

got the time tick-tick-tickin in my head

On the one hand, i'm thrilled it's friday; but i also just watched a whole week of spring break burn off with little to show for it. Granted, it's not really my spring break, but it would've been nice to get a little of it.

The new dojo opens tomorrow, pretty exciting. I was supposed to be training (somehow) on my own this week, and using the time to come up with some of the things i have to make up for the nidan test. Didn't. Don't know if i can be ready. Either way, i am going to take a shot at treating the new dojo as a sort of fresh start in a lot of ways. We'll see how that goes.

We got Hannah a mountain bike last week. Of course, it promptly snowed, so she hasn't been on it a lot yet. But it's going to be great to be able to take her out with us, get some dirt. Spring is gradually peeking out in Colorado: the grass is starting to show a little green, some nights are a little warmer, and the birds are everywhere. It's nice out here.

puttin' the "pro" in procrastination

it is amazing what one can fail to do, when one puts one's mind to it.

cooking again

Over the last several months, I haven't been cooking as much as I used to, and i miss it.

Last night I grilled pork sirloin chops with hoisin, white rice, and stir-fried vegetables. I love my wok. Everything was delicious, nice & light.

This morning i put the corned beef in the crockpot. Hardly master chef work, but i'm still looking forward to slicing that up in eight or nine more hours. Simple stuff is the best.

back

OK, don't laugh at my return to blogger. It'll help me keep up with things. I think. Wish me luck.
