Calisthenics

My 2 girls do this as a hobby.  For those that don't know what it is....it's an artistic sport that incorporates gymnastic/ballet/figure marching/singing/dancing all set to music.  The team the girls compete in does 7 items at each of 6 competitions during the year.  When they came off stage after each item at the concert all the team members were finding it hard to get their breath back.  This year there are 13 in the team, last year there was 10.

My invovlement with the Club is as follows:
Treasurer - hubby doesn't want me to this next year (we'll see)
Costume coordinator for 2 groups
I also do the concert printing - programs, medal sheets, certificates, etc.

Actually hubby has said for the past few years that next year I am not to do anything.  He doesn't realise that as far as the costumes go for the older girls, there is no one else who is involved who can take on the role.  You need someone who can sew and can be available each week to hand out stuff to the girls and/or their sewers.  Thay need to be able to make up samples according to the coaches designs and help them design costumes - this year I designed 2 of them (everyone liked them; one club even had a real close look at one of them, so I expect that design will turn up at that club next  year).

Study

How's this for being unorganised.

Ii am trying to study home bookkeeping.  Today I went to do the next assingment - #4 out of 12 - and could not find the assignment or the associated tutorial notes!!  Found my folder where they were supposed to be, but nothing else.

I have been working on calisthenics concert programs recently and made a few printing errors.  I'm thinking the assignment and tute got turfed with the printing errors.  Looked in the recycling bin - did not want to go searching thru that.... didn't see it on the top.

Oh well.....$19 extra to my course costs and I should have a replacement set in a few days.

Good Lord

I had forgotten about this blog!!!  Started a new one (Joy Belle).  Maybe I can keep them both and 1 for 1 type of posting and another for other types.........

Well the package I had been waiting for arrived today - 56 sachets of meal replacement. Today is the start of a new me. I will follow this program for 1 month, as best as I can. Zero kilos lost, 58 to go......

Realisically speaking, let's get out of the triple figures and into the double ones. 58 kg is TOO much to think about losing yet. As they say, 1 day at a time, 1 kg at a time.

talk about a long drink between watering holes!!

A few weeks ago I decided to give myself a brand. Why you mayask? - and indeed hubby did ask this. I told him, 'Why not'. Not an answer that satisfied him. I don't really know why I did it other than the idea occured to me and it seemed like a good idea at the time. We'd had an argument a few days before - maybe this is why I did it. Who knows. The interesting thing about it is that it made me so horny. Who would have thought that deliberately burning yourself would get you that way. Even now, 3 wks later, when I think of doing it again, I get all warm and fuzzy.

Day 1

Where do I begin?

Well that was a start. I just sat there for 2 minutes wondering what to write. Perhaps I need to answer why I set this up in the first place. Apart form it seems like a good thing to do and is something to stop me from doing costumes, I spose it is going to be a sort of diary about my life and the things that happen in it.

Things like last night. After class, trying to do costumes, Kailee decides that what I have done with the asethetics is not right. So she gets pins and marks where she wants the neckline to go - this is after I have already dropped the neckline once. Why didn't she do it like this in the 1st place? It really annoys me when her and her mother make change after change to the costumes. We have 5 weeks to dress rehearsal, 6 to comps start and only 1 costume ready. They must think everyone stays at home and can easily work on the costumes; or if they know ppl work they must believe they are wizzes at sewing. Believe me the other mums (except one) all struggle with the child's costumes.

Maybe I'm the one at fault here. Maybe I can't cope with change; maybe I just have a thing against Kailee and her mother. Who knows?!

Till next time.
