Hey BetweentheLens!
I think you are one of my HOTTEST FRIENDS, so I nominated you for my Hot Friends list. But are you really HOT enough to be on Hotties for Sale? Find out!
I will stop by Monday afternoon when I'm done with work if that's ok...just let me know what your exact address is please? I don't trust myself to remember where you are. See you soon! <3
I'm a freaking mess. I'm really cranky as all hell. Karate will be fun tonight...I'll be snotting all over Masta O and Mr. Scheffler.
What's the latest on your foot? I'm about to invite myself over this week...I really am. I'm working Friday morning...but I'm done in the afternoon...we have a lot to catch up on...if I'm being rude about inviting myself over let me know, but then tell me it's okay for me to visit. I miss you!
I'm okay, really. :o) I want to call you to catch up, I really do! I ended up staying all day at work today...I really had no intention of doing that. I'm working stupid hours this week but I will make sure I touch base with you! I miss you! :o(
Hey Lady...I'm going to be tied up most of the afternoon/evening...I'll give you a call later tonight if that's okay...
Nothing too major is going on...I'm just being stupid...I've gained perspective however. I'll tell you about it when I call. Hope you're hanging in there! <3
Class this morning was good...after we got past the blasted jump roping *grumbles* I really think Mastah O knows how much I hate it...you should have seen the smirk on his face when he announced, "I think we'll do jump-roping today". The hump. XD
I hope you're not out of commission too long...classes won't be the same without you.
HEY! Hope you are good. We are in our house in Kansas now. We really like it. It is a town house 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath. Old but cute. Abigail has TONS of little friends that live right next to us. Great for her! Hugs to you all!
That SUCKS Laura. I was in the back stretching before class and Mrs. Hein asked if I knew whether or not Lisa had broken her foot in the morning class. I was confused! I told her I had spoken to Lisa earlier in the afternoon and would have thought she'd mention something like that to me in our conversation. She said she heard a female orange belt had broken her foot in class that morning. And Chris asked if it might have been you, but she wasn't sure. When class started Master LeClerc said "Mrs. Bullock" broke her toe in class earlier. Someone asked how it happened and he said, "She wasn't paying attention". He wasn't sure exactly what happened.
Way to not be paying attention! For the record, I don't think you weren't paying attention. I know what drill you were doing when it happened...I was doing it last night in class and at one point I slid a little too far forward with my hop/extension and nearly landed on my royal patootie. It was a tricky combination.
I'll give you a call sometime this weekend...I'm off to collapse into bed now; I'm going to the 8:30 class tomorrow, then I have to work all day. Ergh. Take it easy, okay? <3
