and the rest of the story

Aside from the Gaimaning, we had a really good time in Dublin. Hm. That sentence seems to suggest that we didn’t have a good time Gaimaning, which is clearly not what I meant. Ah, language. Don’t try this at home; I’m a professional. :) Anyway, aside from dinner with Pádraig and Deirdre we lunched with Brian/, who is his usual charming self. (I mean this with all sincerity. Brian is a splendid example of a typical Irishman, with a tongue that is both silver and wicked. I love hanging out…

unexpectedly advanced

So, because somebody else said to me today that my Pilates and swimming were inspiring (which I am very pleased, if somewhat befuddled, by; I’ve been doing this barely a month! it hardly seems like it’s enough to inspire!), I went to look at the intermediate stage of the Pilates exercise I’ve been doing.

Seirid, yesterday, was singing, “Who let the dogs out!” and then barking. Except all of a sudden he said “No no no,” and sang “Who let the ducks out! Quack! Quack!

I’ll go do my pilates in a minute, but I feel kind of guilty.

ow, my tummy

I started doing Pilates in November. I think I did the beginning set 3 times before I gave up. I started doing Pilates again Monday. I’ve done the beginning set twice now. Now I just have to do it again on Friday and then not give up. This workout I’m doing is a very beginners one, with only 8 exercise, but damn, it works. My tummy is all like WHAT. THE. HELL!?! Oogh. o.o I think Chance #2 is out today. miles to Dunharrow: 125.5 ytd wordcount: 9600
