I think this is awesome...

The Obama pound


There is just something so cute and refreshing about this moment. A marriage doesn't have to be all passion and kisses in my opinion. Friendship is soooo important and it really shows to me when they do the bump.

On the road again...

So I am officially 'in charge' and 'on my own' for the next 6 months. Ev left this morning.

Indiana Jones day

So before Ev leaves for 6 months we are trying to get in as many of the movies he wants to see as we can. Today we went to see the new Indiana Jones movie. It was great! I was really happy that it stayed pretty true to the old movies. Harrison Ford is still incredibly handsome. Interestingly enough, about 20 minutes before the end of the movie...the fire alarm went off. JEEZ! So we all shuffled outside into the surprisingly hot outdoors while they checked out the theater. Im sure some stupid kid hit the alarm, or thought they could get away from smoking pot in the bathroom. I have never left a building for a true fire alarm. I guess that should be a great thing, but Im starting to find it annoying. Anyway, we did get to go back inside to see the rest of the movie. Then we still had not had enough INDIE! We then came home and watched the first Indiana Jones movie and grilled out. It was a great day and I totally have the I.J. theme song stuck in my head. dun dun dun duuuuun! dun da duuunnn... ;)

Its the small things in life...

I get this crazy sense of accomplishment and elation when I can successfully open the clothes dryer door, throw in an extra garment, and successfully close the door quick enough to where the dryer never stops running. happy sigh.

Tulip fest

We went to tulip fest this year. It was beautiful. The weather was beautiful. Such a great day.

How do I feel about Chiropractors...

Well Im going to channel Italy for this answer. I have a mixed opinion about chiropractic care. Obviously being a Physical Therapist (which is a PROFESSION by the way - not a random group of treatments...NOT just exercising a person) I think and have seen quality chiropractics help people quite a bit and have worked in conjunction with several. Ive also personally seen and heard horror stories about discal damage and fractures caused by adjustments. IMO you are taking quite a bit of risk when you place you body in the hands of a 'non-quality' Chiro. Much more risk than standard care provided by a physical therapist. Here is a nice site which runs down reason NOT to become a chiropractor, with a link to US news and world report labeling chiropractor as 'the most overrated career'. If your going to see a chiropractor, be wary of being put on a long term plan (unnecessary), and research them beforehand. If your ever uncomfortable with a treatment (it hurts; im getting worse-not better) SPEAK UP or change healthcare professionals. That goes for Physical therapy care as well. ;)

Glow Stick madness...

My friend Jim is my long distance dance partner in crime from Pensacola Florida. I miss dancing with him! But he will be coming up in august to go to a conference - so we will be getting our dance on again soon...and I will probably take him to my studio where the other followers will attempt to steal him again...

This is a link to my friend Jim's website where he has proposed an intellectually stimulating question..."Can you blend glowsticks?" Well, check out his site to find out HERE
