I loved aquaerobics (what it was called where I was) which was a proper class with warm-up and cool-down and everthing.
I didn't have all the spangly equipment, but belts and floats and tubes were provided as part of the class, as was the music.

But yes, I did it during the day (when I was signed off sick) so it was full of Grannies. Not that I judged - I was pretty much the fattest person there. But I did put in a huge amount of effort, and was teased gently by the leader for my bright red face.

Congrats pjinx. That's gotta be a good feeling. Way to rebound!

Are you seeing a doctor, kiddo? I'm guessing extra calcium and fosomax would also be called for.

no, trying to avoid the doctor! (goes off to look up fosomax . . . )

upgraded my cell phone. got rid of the pos cricket pos thing considered a cell phone. bought an android. i'm lovin' this phone except i can;t figure out how to make it vibrate on text notifications. but overall i love it! (it;s a knock-off but runs on the android software or whatev you call it. i happy! i love it! (should i have put this in the buy thread??) oh well anyway, the camera on it is great. way better than my crackberry was.

Pics from Friday.
Dressing up always makes me happy.

I forgot to take pictures with my felt tarts and my hitting stick!
Never mind, I think you get the picture.

You look too lovely to be the Queen of Hearts! :p:

Beautiful, SG! What did the kids think?

Tulip, I am flattered of course, but I was the kindly, motherly Queen of Hearts from the nursery rhyme, and not the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. Although Dad did joke I should have my photo taken with his axe and my severed head from Halloween.

Clod, part of me worried that the Tiger would be unsettled by all this, but he took it in his stride. He loved being called Lightning McQueen :)

I was asked TWICE if I was the Devil. No. And more than that, I was asked by countless children in the playground at lunchtime if I would take my wig off. NO. "Show me your real hair!" NO! You see that every other day of the week!

Of course the best reaction I got was from the other staff, which I was happy to reciprocate. And the older children were delighted when I named their characters - one year five girl couldn't believe I'd recognised her as Willy Wonka. I couldn't believe that anyone wouldn't! Oh the girls loved the little touches - the nails, the rings, the crown.

It was all well worth it. Not one member of staff had a completely shop-bought costume. Which I thought was great.

Lil' Pete toured Middlebury college Friday and fenced in the local open up there yesterday. She is very excited by the college. It is fun to see her all bouncy like a zombie puppy with a new ball.

A new red ball?
(am currently reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief)

Oh dude, you drove right by my house (within 20 minutes) Next time we should meet for lunch.

Actually, I stayed home with the heat and ice this time, but I'd love to stop by if/when she sneaks by the 17-19% admissions rate! Man I'm glad she got her Mom's brains and her Grammas art skilz. I'll have to be content that my genetic gifts will ruin her children.

I have a Droid X, and as far as I can figure out, you can't. I'm not getting another droid when I can upgrade in June, if they don't fix that.

I guess I could probably fix it myself but, shit, I really don't want to.
