Man- she's hot
and she's older than me, so, love that! I don't think I've blogged about this before, but in the last year and a half I've taken up working out pretty regularly, and I've seen some real results. It's such a thrill to see changes happening- eh? If you are familar with Golds, you know about their Body Pump class. It's an hour of weight lifting- 10 songs: warm-up, squats, bench-press, back, triceps, biceps, lounges, shoulders, abs, cool-down. Each is about 5 minutes long, and they vary the rythmns enough that you don't get worn in to any particular routine. I'm currently doing 5 to 6 minutes of squats at 64% of body weight. I've enjoyed it so much. I haven't really lost any weight, but some has sure moved around. When we went to Mexico over Christmas, they called me a nalgona, referring to my round back-side. Anyway- I thought you (past and present)worker-outers could appreciate the effort.
Enrique has been to the gym lots too in the past couple of years. He'll take on his first marathon on Sunday (he's doing a half). Keep him in your thoughts for that day, ok? He's been training for a while and he's ready. Finishing won't be a problem for him, thankfully, I just worry about him pushing too fast and risking injury to the knee. Ahh- what're you going to do?
I want to extend an invitation to you all for Easter at my Mom's house here in Austin. Email addresses I had for Robbie and Mikey are old, though, so I thought I'd try and reach you all through the blog. We'll work out the space arrangements for staying over, if that's a consideration. Between her house and mine, we have three spare bedrooms complete with beds and everything, so hopefully we'll geto to see you for that. I know Aunt Gay would be exstatic to have you all in her home.
So Centex has some cool commercials. Radio only- using voices one is likely to hear at an appointment for an estimate (Isaac and Eric). We've a pretty cool ad agency. For real- check out the Monday Morning Memo at Wizard of Ads.com. (You can sign up for that to be sent to you each Monday.) Sounds hokey, but the guy in charge is really a good mind. And what I like best is his focus on good writing. He regularly recommends books and authors: Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Tom Robbins among them. James did you see the movie Even Cowgirls Get the blues- that's a rendition of another Tom Robbins novel. The movie sucked in comparison to the novel, of course, but I'm not surprised to hear you could be intrigued by that author. I really thought he'd be an author you'd appreciate for the wonderful writing skills alone, if not the stories.
We're currently having computer issues here at work, so I don't have any photos of the girls to upload right this minute, but I promise I'll do that. Clarita looks so cute now- missing the top two front teeth. And Carmen is all the way up to 36 pounds at 4 years old (she was 30 at a year and a half), still real long and lean, but just cute as can be too! She started pre-school and loves it, although she aches to go to the 'yellow' school like Clarita. She figures since the bus is yellow... She did get to go to the yellow school yesterday to take part in the Valentines Day party. She had a big time! Levis, brown cowgirl boots, white turtleneck with red shortsleeves over it, hair slicked back into one ponytail- she could've been a first grader. It really is bittersweet seeing especially her (my BAby) looking so big.
Well better get to work! James I miss you too! And I am in need of an update as to your recent doctor stuff- we've sure been thinking about you and hoping you're ok! Robbie too for that matter.
Hopefully we can all get together soon. Love to you all,
Jenn
