February 19, 2011: The other day at Crossfit, the owner/coach asked me when I was going to get some weightlifting shoes. It made me laugh a little because I have so many specialty shoes. I have shoes for just about every track event (spring spikes, middle distance spikes, long jump shoes, high jump shoes, shot put shoes, javelin shoes and trainers) and when I was "into" spinning some 6 or so years ago I bought cycling shoes as well. Well, I guess I will be adding weightlifting shoes to the collection. The good news is, there is apparently a competition coming up in DC in April and the owner says that I should think about competing. He's good at making me feel like I'm doing something right. This will be the perfect motivation to keep at it. Hopefully some time in April I can post pics with 150lbs over my head :)
February 18, 2011: Today was a first field trip of the year. For any grade. Luckily, it was for 6th grade. We went to the Newseum which is a pretty cool museum and the kids enjoy getting out of the building. It was also 70 degrees today. So we really lucked out. Here's a pic of the 9-11 exhibit. If you haven't been to the Newseum, I think it's worth the trip.
February 17, 2011: Today was the Valentine's Day Dance for the kiddos. They seemed to enjoy themselves quite a bit. Middle school dances are still quite awkward but much more appropriate than the ones I remember. Here's one of the students doing Cat Daddy (or is it the dougie??) Oh, btw, I tried to play with editing tools for this one.
February 16, 2011: Here's another landmark I pass everyday en route to work. I've yet to go inside but I've heard it's pretty fabulous. I think I will put it on my summer to do list. Caught another red light and got this pic. Hooray red lights.
February 15, 2011: My drive from work to crossfit passes along North Capitol with a pretty view of the Capitol. I try almost every time to get a picture, but seeing how I'm driving and all it's 1) not very smart of me and 2) always a crappy shot. Well today I got stopped at a stop light and tried again. Not the best either but after many a tries, this will do.
February 14, 2011: Happy Valentine's Day. Every day during the past week has seemed to just run together. I wasn't my most pleasant self today because of it. But Thugs still loves me. And I love him as well. Hope you enjoyed your Valentine's Day.
February 13, 2011: I have lots of necklaces despite rarely wearing a necklace. I don't know. Don' t ask. Either way, here's the newest addition.
