Monday again

Today has been a great day and the end to my long weekend. However, I only go to work for two days, then I'm off again for another four day weekend...no, I take that back! The next weekend will be a five day weekend! LOL!!
I'm going to Corpus Christi with Aidan this coming weekend. We leave at 5:00 am and will get to Corpus by 1-2 in the afternoon. We are going to visit the USS Lexington next weekend with Den 2 of our Cub Scout Pack. They didn't have enough people to make up the requirement, so they opened it up to others in the Pack. I, of course, jumped up and down and begged to go (not literally), so we're going. I'm looking forward to it more than Aidan is!! hee hee!!

I went to class tonight and actually got in a workout! I felt it tonight. I worked on one of my second dan forms and some of the older forms that I need to practice. I can tell I haven't been working on them since I had an issue remembering the moves. Nahainchi Ee Dan starts out with a step with your left foot in front of your right. At the same time, you bring your hands up in front of your body and then pull them apart, elbowing an attacker in the sternum at either side. Then you kick with your right foot in front of your left (to the shin), step down and with your right hand and left hands, block in a modified "C". (That's a middle block with the right hand and a punch simultaneously with the left hand to the sternum. I know that some of you are thinking "why is she telling me this", so I'll leave it at that for now. It's really cool to see at full speed. Of course, I had to fiddle with it until I got it back in my head. Mr. Laabs wanted to work on Jin Do but I don't remember that one at all. I haven't worked on it nearly as much as I have on Nahainch Ee Dan. I've got to get the arm movement at the end, the one that looks like "Dark Wing Duck" (that was DB's name for it, not mine!) down. I really need to get it set in my mind so that I can keep working on it. I need to bring out my books and study up.

I came home from class and Tony and the kids surprised me with a cake. They spelled out 43 on it in candles (not literally 43 candles, just a 4 and a 3). I made a wish and blew out the candles. They went out on the first blow. YAY! Hopefully my wish will come true! I won't say what it was because that'll mean that it won't come true!!

I'm going back to work tomorrow. Oh how fun. I'm not looking forward to that, but at the same time, I only have to get through 2 days of it. I think we'll be short handed tomorrow. One of the guys is going to drive to Lubbock tomorrow to see his son graduate from Texas Tech. I think that's what he said. I'm pretty sure he won't be there. I'll be surprised if he is. I'll just have to wait and see.
