Today I watched a 65 year old man kick my 34-year-old-former-Marine-husband’s ass. Seriously. It was fun. No, seriously, we were at the gym (first time in like 2 months, it went so-so) and one of the guys he does Arnis and Aikido was there. Of course they had to show off some moves. This guy is a Army-Special Forces-Vietnam Veteran. And very good in Aikido. It was very amusing to watch my husband on his knees in the arms of this old guy.

After the gym, we went and eat pizza (I know, totally ruined the point of the workout….) at Bolis. They have the absolute best pizza in town, it’s sooooo good. I haven’t been eating properly for the last weeks since all the medication makes me nauseous on and off all day. So I really wanted something good that I didn’t have to make, and we ended up at Bolis.

Later, I baked mum’s famous “Carmel-cookies” (sorry haven’t got a better explanation about them. They’re called Kolakakor in Swedish). They are very hard to make and neither my grandmother or my brother (or his wife is probably who makes them….) can get them as perfect as my mother makes them. Last time I made them, I screwed up completely and used the wrong kind of cookie sheets. This time, perfection. God they are good. Catie was here as well, which was nice. I haven’t seen her for a while, so it was good to catch up. I’m going to introduce her to Cathy when she comes here. Catie went to design school for clothes design, and she’s apparently very good, though I haven’t seen anything of hers. She’s the sweetest thing. Her fiance is a Marine, so she really gets things that no one else does, which is a relief sometimes.

Right now, my husband is away getting beat up again, he’s away at Aikido. I am watching Dancing With the Stars, the Semifinals, and eating Cherry Sherbet (no more mango for me….). I am rooting for Kristi, but it would be nice if Marissa won, she’s improved the most. I love her energy and the is so much fun!

What am I doing tomorrow? Um, I don’t know. I might go back to the gym, unless it hurts too much. It did hurt coming out of the gym earlier, and I should probably stay away at least until after my appointment Thursday. I should do some writing, I really should. I have some stories on the way, so we’ll see which one I’ll continue on. Only two have a real plot, and one is a children’s book and the other is a normal women’s novel. I also have some skating stories going, but they would never get published, market’s too little. Any ideas anyone?
