4 days till test and I am getting very nervous. I am trying not to think about it, but that is impossible. So I figure if I write here maybe my nerves will settle down. I have been working out everyday, now I am studying my Korean so I can figure the commands out during the test. Oh did I tell you the test is in Korean. My sparring is lacking right now, I just can't seem to get my foot that is on the floor when I kick to pivot correctly. Also all of a sudden I am having problems with my balance. I could stand on 1 foot for 10 minutes if I had to now it seems like I can hardly walk straight. This is why I get nervous when stupid things like this happens. Then I picture myself falling and not be able to get back up. I know I'm just worrying, but honestly I should be better this time around and I don't feel it. I seem to be having a hard time concentrating, getting focused. I hope it all just falls into place when I walk on that floor and bow in. I am going for a walk now to clear my head and to walk up the nice big hill I travel everyday to up my endurance. 4 days until the test. Ok then, Thanks for letting me vent. It helps alot.
2 weeks till my 3rd degree karate test. I think I'm ready. I know my stuff I just hope I can last 3 hours on the floor, plus get beat up at the end. I will have to fight 3 black belts at the same time. I'm more nervous about my endurance. I am getting better, I have been walking the hills and working out constantly. I also started to drink organic soy milk and it is actually helping my knee's (I have bad knee's). I am also losing weight, which is a good thing when you have to jump in the air and kick. I'm focused and ready to go out on that floor and give my all.
Why is it when you get older you get cold all the time. It is in the 70's during the day and gets cool at night. My father has to turn the heat up to 78 degree's during the day. I have windows open and there are times I am turning the air conditioner on upstairs. I feel like I am going to combust, my kids are whining that they are hot all the time. Talking to him does nothing I actually think he turns the heat up more when I say something.
Sunday has been a great! Went shopping and had fun with my twin girls, then we went to Rita's for some italian ice (I love Rita's). We decided to go ride go carts, mind you I am 5'8" "and these legs do not fit well in a damn go cart. My knees were almost touching my nose, lol. Riding around on that track was a blast. Lauren went first, me, then Brooke. Brooke decided she was going to pass us all and the little witch did. She came up beside me knocked me into the wall and laughed as she flew by me. After a few more times around the track she decided to pass Lauren, and she did as she blew past her with that shit eating grin on her face. But the day was great and we had a blast, I love spending time with my kids. Last week I went to a golf outing with my work and at work this last week my boss came up to me and asked if I had a good time and I said yes, (I really did). He said he could hear me laughing all over the golf course, then he told me his girlfriend said man imagine what it would be like to be one of Bunny's kids. I think that was the best compliment I ever had in my entire life. Sunday was just great!
I'm just a girl with wishes and wants just like everyone else I'm just a person that cares to care just like everyone else I'm just a human with mistakes already made and many more to make, just like everyone else I'm just like you and everyone else, yet you judge me, why? Do you judge yourself as you judge me, why? I ask you. I'm just me with my thoughts, my feelings, my soul, yet you judge me Judge yourself before you judge me I'm just a girl with wishes and wants just like everyone else I'm just a person that cares to care just like everyone else I'm just human with mistakes already made and many more to make, just like everyone else. I'm just...
Each day that passes through our time of life We meet people we call friends Some pass through open doors and windows Some stay with us till the very end I hope to be a friend that stays till the end Even though a life's journey has twists and turns I know you will be my friend till the very end Yes we are friends till the end, yes we are friends...
Today I sat and watched the world go by My mind bent with despair So many people around me who say they care So few people there when they are needed Today I sat and watched the world go by My heart heavy with sadness So many people around me who say they care a tear drop falls to the ground with echo's Today I sat and watched the world go by alone...
We met the boy that wants to date my daughter, he is 19 and she will be 17 in 2 weeks. He seemed to be a very nice, but very scared young man with the questions that we asked, that is how you get to know someone right, ask them alot of questions. Especially when the twins asked him if he ever was in jail. Can always count on them to bring up the hard questions, lol We let her go out with him, I told her father we had to trust her judgement this time and let her go out with him. She said they had a great time, they went goofy golfing and then grabbed a bite to eat.

Hello, it has been a long while since I have been here. Hope all is well. stopped by to see Brian and wondering who all was still here. Have a good Thursday. i get to take my son to College today, he is so excited. then the twins go to their back to school night. Busy, busy day.
Question. I have a daughter Alaina who is 16 soon to be 17 (2 weeks). She wants to go out on a day date with a boy that is 19 and in college. Does anyone have any opinions on wether I should let her go. I have mixed feelings on this. I know it's not a big age difference but it is when you have the difference of college and high school. there is a different mentality. Or am I just not letting her grow up? I could sure use some other opinions on this subject. Thanks and nice to see yoiu all.
Yippie I got a computer at the coffee shop I got a computer at the coffee shop. Yippie for me, yippie for me. I can finally get some work done. Thanks to a wonderful friend Betty, she's the best.

If you can not find lotus or saved don't worry they are not missing. I found a large snowball and it started rolling down the hill. It got bigger and bigger, I think they are inside it. "That's what they get for messin with me, yeah"!
we'll find them when summer comes around and the snowball thaws. lol
Got ya right in the head, na na na... Your on my list now also. We have two newbloggers who are snowball maniacs. So watch out for them, they are helping each other out. Don't let them fool you, they are very, very dangerous. I've hired some snowball experts to get them. Remember I'm selling snowballs for 5 cents each.
Where's that lady lotus? We were told to hit her with a bunch of snowballs. If anyone see's that lady lotus let us know, there's a bunch of us that was hired to hit her with as many snowballs as we can. thanks, "the snowball bandits"
I have snowballs for sale to throw at lotus. Yes our sweet little innocent lotus has become this... this... demon snowball thrower. No one is safe from her. Lock your windows and doors, she is lurking around every corner. So beware and enter newblog at your own risk. Remember I'm selling snowballs for 5 cents. I accept cash, checks, money orders credit cards. Make checks payable to Bunny, Thanks.
You better watch out lotus we're coming to get you. You beter watch out, you better not pout, you better not cry I'm telling you why, cause Bunny and every other newblogger is coming after you for a snowball fight. He, he, he...
Now little old me opens up a small Art Gallery/Coffee Shop. I worked very hard and waited for everything to go just right. Got all the paperwork signed, had alot of friends and family help me out. I have been open for only a couple of months. Everyone seems nice, everyone seems happy that I opened a coffee shop in this small town that really has no place to get a cup of coffee (ok a good cup of coffee). Got my own special blend of coffee which I have to admitt is very good. And a hot chocolate that will knock your socks off. So here is where it gets really interesting. The mayor of this small little town that I live in and have my wonderful coffee shop at stop by and informs me that someone wrote an anonymous letter to her. Wanting to know if I have my permits for food, and everything else I need a permit for. Well as I proceed to tell her I don't need a permit for food because I don't cook there I only sell desserts and they are brought in by bakers and caterers. I have a permit that I needed to get to put the kitchen sink and counter tops. (Need water to make coffee and wash cups). Now why would someone write an anonymous letter to the mayor? Because they don't have enough balls to walk into my shop and ask me to my face any questions they have. That's why! You know you always have one who's life is such a mess that they need to mess with others lives, and unless they are causing havoc they are not comfortable. Well I can tell you this, I never go down without a fight and when I fight I never lose. Who ever this person is I will find out and I will have my lawyer look into any law action that can be taken. Liability, is a wonderful word.
Things are finally starting to settle down some at the coffee shop/art gallery. Hoping by next week to have my computer all hooked up and ready to go. This way I can stop by more often, by the time I get home now I'm pretty tired and getting up early to open does make me a tired puppy. lol So stopping by to say hello and all is fine, actually all is great. I'm loving my new venture in life, it really is a dream job. (At least it's my dream job)Hope everyone is doing fine. Love ya all!
Ok, I'm opened for business. "The Gallery Dessert Coffee Shop" I have been open for a full week and it is going very well. Better then I expected. I'm a business owner! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers, they all worked for me. I still have to pinch myself sometimes, I can't believe I actually jumped into this. I'll take a few pictures that way you all can see how cool the place looks.
My life is changing, been working hard at it. I quit one of my jobs, my last day was Sat. I'm still going to teach karate, I just have to it's part of me.
Well I took a giant leep and decided to open a coffee shop art gallery. I open next Saturday, aaagghhh!!!! I did it. I have been painting the place for the last 4 days. I will own my business starting Oct. 1st. And it feels great, I am loving every minute of it.
So now that my life is going the way I want it to I have decided to jump back into photography, painting and writing. I started writing a story a few years back and got to busy to write. Now I will have more time so I decide to try and finish this story I love. I will write some every week, let me know what you all think. Thanks Bunny
