I have survived a tortuous workout with the amazingly effective yet completely drill sargeantesque new personal trainer, Macy. She is fabulous. And no, she did not get the better of me. Do I hate her? Absolutely, because it hurts to be healthy, LOL! Do I love her? Ohgod yes. Weights have never been more fun, mostly because I don’t have to use so many of them and in one (count ‘em, ONE) session she has taught my tummy what it means to be flat again. It’s a painful lesson. But that birthday-gift-to-me-navel-piercing is not too far away =)

Cyd is finally grooving back into the school thing. It is a struggle at the beginning of each school year to get her focused on her homework. She excels at math and reading (huzzah!) but doesn’t want to put any effort into her work. But each passing week it becomes less of a chore and more of a good old “boring thing.” I give her credit for pulling through. It’s not easy for her to stay on track but she always manages to get to center in the end.

Work is amazingly complex this month.

Oh, and men lie.

My sister and friends have decided that I need to get networked! So I am now a member of Orkut and Multiply.

I’ve sent invites to everyone I could think of, but if I missed you and you’d like to see what community networking is all about, drop me an email and I’ll happily invite you!

Warning: You may find yourself within six degrees of separation from two million other users (shudder).

I refuse to allow a woman who is half my age and twice my height to intimidate me during a workout. I refuse, I tell ya!
