Well I did it...

Waaaaaaaaaay back in 1996 or 97 I took one class of Tae Kwon Do. Yup, one. I felt like a stuffed sausage in the uniform I was given. So I quit.

Tonight, after 3 weeks of tough practice, I tested up 2 belts; white with black stripe and white with yellow stripe.

Yay me!

Unfortunately I didn't come through totally unscathed, I think I bruised up my pinky rather well from breaking boards. That's ok though... hubby pulled a hammy and Bud was super frustrated. Kitty did so well, earning a medal for stretching.

The race is now on. All four of us are the same belt now and we have a deal that the first person to earn his or her black belt gets $100. I'm thinking it might go to a technicality if we all test for black at the same time, but we'll see.

Good job all!!

Run! The Curry of Life

First off... in the wrong context this could be a very bad thing to shout.

Secondly, This WILL become a family saying. I mean, how could it not?

Third, I guess I should link to where this came from. It's the episode title of Naruto, an anime cartoon. And this is a link to the episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZPFFuRQrkg

Now, the beginning of this is just odd. I think you have to watch previous episodes to really understand what's going on.

Anyway, Run! The Curry of Life!!

So tonight will be the first night I'll be using my new pasta insert. We're having grilled chicken and mozzarella ravioli. Sounds yummy. I just hope they taste yummy too.

Now before you get all impressed that I'm making said bites of yum, I'm not. I'm just boiling them.

Ok, I've sat down to write and the kids are wanting to play, so off I am. To make dinner. For the family. Bye.
