OMG, vacationing in Disney World was AWESOME! At times, Harrison was as cranky and crabby as any 3 1/2-yr-old would be standing in long lines in the heat for a ride that lasts 2 minutes. But, for the most part, he was enjoyable and loved the rides and food and pool at the resort. We had a blast; hands down, best vacation any of us have ever been on. Rides, fireworks, late nights with popsicles...he was in heaven!
Cannot believe how rested I feel even though the heat and long days were pretty exhausting. I'm actually ready to take on some work this week, but this may be because we're planning a weekend in CHS. The dude and I will drive down Friday afternoon while the hubby goes deep sea fishing. Then, back down to CHS in a few weeks for the annual review and company black tie celebration. Then some quality niece time in July while the twin and bro-in-law go out of town. And, new niece in August. And, hopefully, trip to DC Labor Day Weekend. Lots going on this summer.
I can't lie, I didn't think too much of my ZSBC. I missed the classes and seeing my buddies, but I was having too much fun with the family to regret missing my classes. I'm hoping with our good shopping trip to the Teeter today, I'll be on board this week filling up on good foods and getting in some tai chi (instead of just walking 17000 steps a day). I am also hoping to add in some other kind of exercise during June. I'd like to get a couple mornings of walks/jogs in to really start pushing myself. I feel like I'm the only boot camper not seeing results; I don't want to fail at "this" again. Need to get pumped up and not let the whole "not a black shirt" thing keep eating at me.

M-I-C, see you real soon...
...this has been the message on my gTalk for quite some time. CANNOT WAIT FOR FIRST REAL VACATION IN FOUR YEARS!
In other news, good Mother's Day. Nothing spectacular; getting Jon to help clean the house for our house/dog sitter was gift enough! But, homemade split pea soup dinner was nice. And, other than yelling at Harrison most of the weekend b/c he's going thru a phase, not altogether a bad couple of days.
Learning more and more of the solo form. This excites me as I thought maybe us B Blockers who hadn't moved up would be forgotten and perfecting our Push the Mountain for months to come. Last night in class, we practiced a new chi kung form, Lean Forward and Look for the Sea (yes?). Due to the fact I consistently pull only one of my butt cheeks (seriously, does this happen to anyone else?), I could only lean forward well on one leg. And, now, both butt cheeks hurt. Ah well, the price to pay for learning and practicing something new. Maybe that's not a form to try in line at Disney World...
Work is the same. Really keeping fingers crossed my two projects slow way down by the end of the week. Not looking likely, but dang it, I'm not bringing my laptop on vacation! Speaking of which, I was told I'm now in the first wave of the company Mac roll out to engineering. Can I just say: I'm SKERRED to death?! I have never used a Mac. I know nothing about Macs and the diffs from PCs. (Adam, I may need some tutorials!!!). But, a laptop that shuts off when it feels like it and does not latch and and has a sticky standby button and has several missing lines on the screen is one that needs recycling.
Oh, yes, thinking about starting a poetry blog. Just to have all my stuff somewhere other than paper. Not really for any other reason, I suppose. I don't actually know anyone who'd care to read it, but just a thought I have from time to time...
