before I knew what a walking push up was. Before I knew how badly my *ankles* hurt in a layered lunge.
Iron Reps and power sets have ruined me for life. I thought I was pretty good for my age/place in life, and oh that may be true but....
Id rather be able to get through a good set of push ups than eat a cookie.
Does that make me weird?
For the record - Walking push ups - Stand up. Bend over, hands to the floor. Walk your hands out until you are in a push up position. Do one push up. Walk hands back in until you are bent over. Stand up. Repeat.
Layered Lunge - Take a Weighted bar and set it across your shoulders. Put one leg up on a mid-hieght stair. Go up on your tippy-toe on the back foot. Now drop that knee down into the lunge. Repeat a few times. Now try holding down. Now try pulsing there.
Bring that heel down. Lunge into the top foot. Repeat. Go up on tippy-toe. Repeat.
ouch.

Oh where to start....
Jade has been sick - in hospital for a day and on a ventilator sick. There was risk of pneumonia. It was horrid, and continues to be.
Either AKiva has hit the Terrible Twos a full 9 months early, or my working is having a horrible effect on her. Demanding, screaming, bossy, and inconsolable. Mom, if you read this, I could really use a visit and some parenting advise.
I am sick as well, and fighting it like Ive never fought it before. Ive just started back to full workouts - 20 min warm up, 20 min cardio, 20 min cooldown, full weight circuit (3 sets of 12) at least three times a week and at least one class a week. My body feels like its been run over, but it feels *good*... but I really cant afford to get sick.
Warcraft. Very readdicted. You know its bad when you spend downtime at work checking out the clients and figuring out what race they would be. Really hard to tell sometimes between Blood and Night Elves... There arent too many Trolls, but Ive found some. Still trying to figure out what the difference between Gnomes and Dwarves are, other than attitude. The worst is undead - try - I dare you - the next time you are in a public place - to keep a straight face while actually *dealing* with an undead. All I can think of is that silly BE joke about the undead and facials. Its horrible.
Yes, and I am back to having the worst case of Alt-itis in the world, I just cant help my pathetic little self. I *have* to do it this way - my obsessive personality forces it, and I thank God I can just sit back and still say - just a game, doesnt matter.
Other than that - we survive. Its scary and difficult, and - well - Im coping, but barely. Oh how thankful I am for my drugs!

Life....
Life is not complete until you hear Mr. Lund singing "Over the Rainbow"
Many thanks to NBrooks for her help on making the blog look pretty - but Jacob, if you are still willing to give me a hand, I wont turn it down either!
and for those who really cant get enough -
Theres the camo pants - and the mischievous look
Tigger took this - no explanation needed

New Pics...
Too cute not to take. Blanket made by a Angel (its her fave to sleep on!)
Cant see the camo pants in this shot, but I was so tempted to post with the caption "I shot bambi" - but he looks too harmless and sweet.

Latest Idea....
Tuesday Manning and the Grin Reaper.
Tuesday Manning wakes up on a bright sunny day to find her home besieged by a host of Snife wielding Grumps, led by the terrible Pixie King - Grin Reaper.
Its her job to battle them the best she can before her whole home becomes a dark, bleak place.
I think I have the next scene almost ready for Gold Horizon.
I still dont have a clue where Im going with Kit and Kaboodle, other than I think the little girl is some kind of Druid... or at least *my* idea of a Druid.
My home is starting to look pretty, but I have an empty bookcase stuck on the stairs and I cant move it. And of course, Tigger is sicker than Ive ever seen him - ever.
And I think I may be giving up on WoW entirely. I just - I dont see the point in playing it.
