Boot camp

This is what I couldn't face getting up for this morning. Picture from last week. I am second back doing an excellent side plank with arm raised!

This is the view if you look east as we work out.

School's out for summer - almost

This is the last week of school for the children although why anyone bothers I am not sure. There was a four day weekend so no school last Friday or this Monday. They had already handed in all of their textbooks and cleared out their lockers. By yesterday evening it was 9th grade promotion party for Sam and 'yearbook stomp' for Catherine. I drove Sam and three of his friends over - had to roll down all the windows because of the asphyxiating amount of cologne they were all sporting. Here is a picture:

Today they are all at our local amusement park, Lagoon, for the day. Catherine and her friends went up to the university to watch the senior class graduation.

Craig and I had a quiet evening in last night watching an episode of Damages on Netflix. Our peace punctuated by phone call from Sam "How late can I stay out?" Followed by text "Spending the night at Quinn's." Catherine appeared briefly to collect stuff for an overnight at her friend Karli's - "Hi mom, just getting some stuff. Do you want to see Karli's belly button piercing." How could I resist. Not sure if Catherine was there while she got it - it was all of 20 minutes old.

Could not make myself get up for bootcamp this morning.

The birthday evening

Last night was supposed to be the Adele concert - tickets to which at vast expense were my birthday present from Craig. Got there only to discover it was cancelled due to illness. Now comes the long wait where you hang on to the tickets and hope she reschedules at a time that actually suits. So there we were all dressed up and no place to go. Decided to catch a movie and ended up at Hangover Part II which was hilarious but verging on too raunchy even for me. There were two tween age kids sitting in front of us with what I thought was their mom, until head turned and I saw full beard. Seemed like way inappropriate movie for them, to which Craig said "visitation." Midway through the movie a woman squeezed past us and plopped down in one of the two vacant seats next to me. She had an enormous bucket of popcorn and within about 30 seconds began agitatedly looking for her "bag". Very distracting. Then she began to talk to herself. Even more distracting. Craig and I got the giggles, speculating that perhaps she had gone out for a popcorn refill and had ended up in the wrong movie. She stayed to the end though, muttering a lot and then when house lights came up, crawling around on the floor looking for the bag which once found looked alarmingly like one of those tied closed bags of dog poo you see people with when out walking the pooch. Woke up to snow.

This has gotten ridiculous. This is what was on the grass this morning. SNOW! It is May 30th. We are still running the furnace.
