I LOVE FIGHT CLUB! (AKA FC)

Another week has come to pass, and I realize that summer is officially upon us. Yesterday, it was 73 degrees, breezy, with clear blue skies! It was so beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed my long lunch out of the office. How does it get much better? Let me tell you!

Last night, I attended karate, per usual. However, as it was a Thursday night, we had Fight Club, which is one of my favorite classes to attend. Our Master Club/Leadership curriculum class was pretty intense, so I was not sure how I was going to hold up in FC. It was one of the best FCs we have had since, well, I guess only a couple weeks ago! :) I love FC! We actually got to fight full contact Kickboxing, which we have done before, except this time we included head shots! I was so excited! My instructor put me against one of my good karate buddies BM (who is an amazing martial artist). I got worked by my opponent, especially when I would drop my hands. I was so tired, but it was so fun! I took some good punches and kicks to the head, but no harm was done. I also was the ring girl, and kick counter! Just for the record, aside from the fact that I am overweight, too short, and would never prance around half-naked (well, at least in public), I would make an excellent ring girl! ;)

My roommate and I also made dinner and invited a couple of our neighbors. So, JP and Carrie ate dinner as it came out of the oven and off the stove, Mark and I had to save ours for later. Carrie and JP walked Mark's plate over, because I needed a shower before class, and Mark was changing for class, so we had to work together. Even though I didn't eat with JP, Carrie, and Mark, it was still fun to cook and hang out, even if it was only for a few minutes. I actually didn't hang out with Mark until I got home from karate. Fortunately, Mark at least pretended to enjoy the food, as he actually thanked me for the meal when I stopped by. After talking about what I used for a seasoning, I began to long to have my portion that was sitting at home! By the way, the seasoning I used was given to me by, Scott, and it has proved to be quite excellent and comes all the way from the foreign land we know, as Texas! LOL!

I also made a quick run to my friend Michelle's house to pick up a few items. It is official, my baby blanket for my friend's baby girl to be is complete! I am now going to make a burp cloth to with it! I am so excited that I have my own sewing machine and other essential items to make my own rag quilts and other fun projects! Well, I reckon it's time to get back to life. Until next time....
