Ahh a beautiful day

So I just got back from the gym. For the first time in weeks I was able to finish a complete workout without any neck pain. Maybe if I train correctly, I could get back into the fitness industry soon. I do miss it at times. The pain was just too much teaching so many classes a week. I've been looking at body sculpting competitions. Even if I didn't compete, I would love the challenge and goal-obtaining structure of a program. I'm not a huge fan of the posing outfits nor the cost. Some of these beauts cost @ 100 buckaroos.

more pictures from my first flight

This is the "I love you but I'm looking at the gauges to see what I'm in for"


"How will I hold back a scream..maybe hide it as a giggle?"

These are pictures from my first flight last week.

Getting a little nervous... But Bobby is as happy as can be!

In my mind, I'm thinking a few four letter words but my face is saying "hmmm".

The Good Napkins-
as remembered by a 4 yr old

One day I was in the bathroom and noticed one ofThe cabinet doors was ajar.I read the box in the cabinet.I then asked my mother why she was keeping ’napkins’ in the bathroom.Didn’t they belong in the kitchen?Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, She told me that those were for ’special occasions’Now fast forward a few months....It’s Thanksgiving Day, And my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife forDinner.Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone.Mine was to set the table.When they returned, My uncle came in first andImmediately burst into laughter.Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling.Next came my father, who roared with laughter.Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment whenShe saw each place setting on the table with a’special occasion’ Ko tex napkin at each plate, With the fork carefully arranged on top.I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn’t hang off the edge!!My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, My response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter.’But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!’

new puppy

Caroline just got a new puppy. She is so cute. I think they will name her Clemintine. She is a 10 week old pug. I don't have any pictures but here is one I found on the Internet. She looks just like the picture. So sweet and loves to lick. Ohh i want another puppy.

My flying experience

Today was awesome. I had a stellar time! I want to be a pilot now! I am hooked. Now I see why Bobby drives an hour and a half to Allentown everyday for school. I'm so proud of him. He has worked so hard. It's kinda hard not to be interested in flying when I live with two pilots.
I finally opened a facebook account. Slowly adding friends. I'm a curious, nosy person. I like to see what people are doing with themselves.

Father's day photos-flying in Stroudsburg

I have a job where I think too much

I read an article the other day about college students not finding jobs after they graduate. This article in particular wrote about Exercise Physiology grads. I read the entire article and sighed...had a poor pity me moment...and decided that I really want to go to graduate school. If I can't make a decent income in the fitness industry without placing my body into an over trained, 14% body fat, bursitis overtaking, caffeine sucking, all I own is a sport bra and Capri jog shorts,.....how can I end this on a good note?.....oh energetic post graduate. I should have chosen nursing or something. I find my self counting the days until Bobby is done with flight school, then maybe I can convince him that spending 60 grand on grad school will be worth it.
I think I would be so good at it because I have a lot of experience with injury. Just this past week I re-injured my neck by stretching (yawning) in the chair. I couldn't turn my head all day. Let me list the 6 major accidents to my neck. Just for S&G. I feel like an old person. (old granny smoker voice) oohhhh my hip...my my.
1. Springboard Diving (hit the water doing a one and a half straight half twist. Water knocked me out and sprained my neck)
2. Hit and Run car accident
3. Knee boarding on the good ole' Susquehanna. That one hurt. I did a flip in the air and landed on my neck
4. Surfing accident. This one is actually pretty funny. I was flirting with the lifeguard just before I went out. A couple of flips under the water, a bang twisting my neck onto a rock and the cute lifeguard had to pull me out of the water with my bikini turned to the side and my pride left back in the water.
5. I think this one was from horsing around wrestling or something. I losing brain cells too!
6. This last one is a funny one too. I love telling this story even though I am an idiot. Bobby and I were living in an apartment that you could run in circles from the kitchen to the living room. I was chasing our new puppy (Dodger) around and got so much momentum that I was on an angle when I literally ran into the wall, twisting my neck and knocking my self out. If that isn't enough, later that night Bobby woke up to me straddling him, demonstrating CPR to a group of imaginary kids. (I used to teach CPR). I think I knocked something loose...again.

I'm excited. Tomorrow Bobby will fly us up to the Stroudsburg airport to visit his parents. It's pretty cool having my own personal pilot.

Bobby

Yesterday Bobby took me up in the Cessna. It was a new experience for me. It took me 45 minutes to get used to the idea that I was 3,000 feet in the air in a tiny little plane. Bobby finally passed his private pilot two days ago. Oh and he made Dean's List this past semester. So proud of him.

First week at new job.

So far so good. This job at Hollister isn't at all what I expected. Well, I did expect my feet to be sore from standing all day in flip-flops. I didn't expect the hours to be so long (working 10 hour days) but oh well. I get to sign up for benefits (again) in a two weeks. The benefits are what make this job awesome. They are so much better than at the hospital. They hired another MIT (manager-in-training) that will begin on Monday. So I won't be the newest new manager. It has been fun getting dressed up for work and feeling pretty. Bobby sure likes it.

We'll end the day of sharing pictures by observing what happens when you let your wife pick out you Halloween outfit, have something called Photoshop and a fabulous picture of Arizona.

Can you believe I took this picture? I used to love taking pictures.
