Hi All Peach, I'm having a good early week. Yesterday I took K1 to Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz, and we went on a docent-guided hike for an hour and a half, through some tidepools. It was pretty neat. After that I drove her to the Capitola mall for our first time visiting there - it looks like a nice older style mall like I grew up with.
Last time I wrote, I wrongly said that I took K2 and K3 to Santa Cruz. It was K2 and K1. K3 was in her Ninja camp at that time. She enjoyed her Ninja camp but doesn't want to do it when it's offered again later this summer. She was one of only 3 girls. She went to 3 of her regular classes, too (one is supposed to attend at least 2 per week).
I have bought K1 some of the clothes of her dreams, recently. Like, clothes she desired, but didn't completely "need". Some in Santa Cruz and some at the Capitola mall, in just the last few days. And the San Jose Valley Fair mall. K1 buys reasonable teen clothes for reasonable prices. I am pleased and relieved that she makes pretty good choices in clothes, earrings, and make-up, etc. She tends to pay full price when I'm not along, though (?).
I am glad your kids are doing well with their sports. And I'm glad they have nice friends.
I forgot to mention it when it happened, but I saw on early morning news at the Southwest YMCA last week that Obama was making a quick stop in in your area. How was that - mostly a nonevent?
That's a good idea to put your K1 in baseball camp. I should have thought of that for my K2, and insisted on it, maybe. He now thinks he will be too small to play pony next spring, so he doesn't even intend to try for it. I told him I'm sad about that - but if he's really not going to pursue baseball, he should be on the cross country team next year, and develop his gift. He says his school's team is lame. I said you just have to put up with a possibly lame middle school team for one year and then you'll be on high school cross country. I told him to put a lot of thought into that. Oh, and BTW, K2 says he can't start martial arts now, because he'd be at least one belt behind K3. I didn't even know he was considering it. He says he's too old to take martial arts at Studio Kicks without looking like a freak, because all his friends who have done that have already graduated out of the youth program. K2 also says he doesn't want to start in an adult class, even if with me, because he's too small and would feel self-conscious. I think I should sign up K1 and K2 for the one week teen fitness course at the YMCA in July. They got out of doing that the week after school ended, in favor of vegging for their first week out of school.
I'm glad you got to see Toy Story 3. We haven't been able to see that yet. We were thinking of seeing it last Saturday, until K3 said she wanted to see Toy Story 2 first. Now K2 and K3 are at camp. K1, the spouse and I saw the movie "The Lovely Bones" last night. It was weird. I had read the book a few years ago, and K1 read it more recently. The young main actress in it was beautiful, though. I hope I see more of her. I will look forward to seeing her mature in front of the camera, hopefully.
I've been unusually exhausted since June 10, the last day of school. And coincidentally that's when I got my good news about no breast cancer. Something else has to go to pot when one thing is all over with. Yesterday I dropped onto the sofa at 4:15 after coming back from the outing with K1, and I didn't move a muscle again until the spouse came home. I slept on and off during that time, with the television blaring and K1 right next to me. It was nice that she didn't need dinner made early and there were no little ones to feed, so I got to indulge my exhaustion. After my spouse fed me pesto pizza (!) (:-)), I went straight to bed and slept until 0420, then got ready for the gym, where I shredded my thighs again, just like most days. Oh and I'm still a little bit full of myself for being on the top ten women's list for weight lifted during May, so I'm certainly not dropping back on that, to see how I do for June. I might even add more stations into my circuit since I'm doing them anyway, but am not entering my code for every machine.
I'm really glad to read that work is good and life is good for you. I hope it stays that way for you and yours.
Love, 90hazelnut
