This summer my husband told our 12 year old daughter, she had to pick a sport this fall. So what did she pick? "Sword fighting," that's what! So last week end my husband bought her a 3 month membership to a fencing club in South Minneapolis, and we gotta take her there twice a week. Looks like tomorrow might be my night to take her.

Tuesday morning at about 1 am my 7 year old son woke up , vomited all over everything, we changed him, and he went right back to sleep. That afternoon at his parent teacher conference , his teacher told me he wil be in advanced placement reading and math again. After those hellish first several years, I still can't get used to parent teacher conferences that go well!

It's a great week to be and Adam and the Ants fan. Adam's book, "Stand and Deliver" was actually released. I wasn't going to hold my breath, but it really did come out. Now he's doing book signings all over England and Scotland. 1000 people stood in line, in London, for his book signing, and from what I've read, it went great! I guess I gotta order it now. Too bad the dvd release date had to be set back again. More legal objections from I don't know who.

For my first time, this week, I did two people at work's reviews, and have another one to go. I'm lucky that my first year as a team lead, I only have good people and get to do 3 such easy reviews. Plus they all got big raises, and so did I! I'm also training in two new people, so work's been pretty busy. My husband still loves his job, and I enjoy that he's working some place where he can call or email me when ever he feels like it!

I ran 3k again tonight. I don't have another race lined up, but I do want to run 1 or 2 more 5K's, if I find out about them, before it snows. It does get easier each time. I finally broke down and got official running shoes, only to find they're heavy and stiff and I need to break them in, so tonight I just wore my old, worn out, flattened ones. It's just easier.
