there are not enough hours in the day. do any of y'all feel this way? between working during tax season, trying to lose weight, cook dinner (and make sure the kitchen is stocked!), teach pilates (more on that) and keep a clean house, a walked dog and a happy husband, there is no time left for me to veg out watching golden girls and olympic figure skating (which the law student says is not a sport. i disagree vehemently) or finish my painting unless i forego more than one of the above-listed necessary chores. i just cannot make it all happen before 9 o'clock.
more on pilates: i'm annoyed. i teach one class a week to pay for my membership, then sub in as needed. i was scheduled to sub for a 4:30 class last week in addition to my regular 5:45 class that day, when we had an emergency at work. plus, we were going to see the north mississippi allstars that night, and i wanted to work out, and cook dinner (please see grievance above), so i tried to get out of it due to the work emergency (i really didn't know what i would have to do, and our hours are extended during tax season). but she (instructor) wouldn't hear of it, not even due to the emergency and said there was no way we could cancel class. so i agree to teach (again), everything at work goes normally, and i head out to the studio at 4:30. now, this class alternates between an aerobics class and a pilates class. i only do pilates, so that's what i was teaching. so, how many people show up? ONE. it's normally a full class of college girls who come for cardio. i thought it was very strange none of them showed up. and why couldn't she teach the class? she had a date. in town. i ended up seeing her out at the show (with her date), and she apparently had started partying at 4:30 on the dot. now, she had cancelled the sunday class. why? again, her date. i know it's her business, but it seems silly to cancel a full afternoon class for lots of clients but not a repeat class for one person, all because of a date. but you can't go by me.
and that brings us to figure skating. the law student thinks this is a bogus sport because appearance plays a part in the judging. sorry, dude, no one wants to look at frumpy, ill-dressed figure skaters. they have to be perfect, glide seemingly effortlessly over ice on metal blades, jump in the air and land, and look good doing it too. time doesn't control the winner--they do, by constantly out-performing the previous skater. they are every bit as much an athlete as any other olympian. so there, law student.
p.s. the scale says 115.4 today--almost down to fighting weight! i'm sure it's just being polite, but i'll take it.
