For those of you who do not use an rss reader, this should come as no surprise: I have re-prettied my blog! It's a fast and dirty fix, with no side bar or anything, but who looks at side bars anymore? Go ahead, ch-ch-ch-check it out, if you dare!

I guess that no news is usually good news, but in my case it's more a matter of finding the time to write. And it's not a matter of time so much as desire, since often I'd rather do anything else but write in my blog. It's become sort of a bane, sort of a blister that I keep playing with. But I have some good news, some exciting news, some updates.

I got my first job in my newly chosen career path! I'm going to teach Pilates at a community center near my house. Also, I found a program, a teacher training program in Seattle, and I'm going to do it! Which means that if you live in Seattle I would love to be your house guest every once in a while! About once a month? Hope that's cool!

I still have to write Lindsay's wedding ceremony. It is a very intimidating task, I must say.

It's been raining here, finally, for the first time this summer, and poor Charlie deserves a trip to the river.

I am so tired right now. We didn't get dinner on the table until 11:30 last night. Anyway, I have a Spanish test in an hour on the past tense and I don't know it and I'm in a grumpy mood. I just want to go to sleep! GRAR!

All of our houseguests have been great but I'm just plain worn out. On the schedule tonight: warm bath, book, early to bed!

Oh, that is a vag of a title right there. I'm sticking with it because it's in the past. I've been ramping up my entry into the field of my choice, arranging interviews, searching the internet for teacher training programs, buying workout clothes on sale. I am excited about being a Pilates teacher, and to be honest a good chunk of that excitement has to do with the outfits. When I was in High School exercise clothes were functional, uncomfortable--essentially a smaller version of the boys clothes. Nowadays they are functional, cute and comfortable, and more expensive. A lot of my workout clothes are also my pajamas.

Anyway, I'm going to get a start no my day!

I have enjoyed a surplus of sleep recently. I am both surprised and pleased by how much sleep my body and mind have accomplished as of late. It make sense, though, seeing how much exercise I do.

I had an interview yesterday at a community center for a job teaching Pilates! It went well. Also, the studio where I take classes might let me apprentice there! So, I just need to find a training program and then I can be all official!

I did some amazing things with my body yesterday, things I never thought I could do. I feel like a Chinese Acrobat!
