hmmm

it's been a few days...guess i could update this thing again :)

uhm...well, i got promoted tonight at karate :D yay! and yes, karate was fun - per usual. i soooo stole a new work out for thursday's class. a good % of the instructors wont be there thursday, so that's prime opportunity for me to try something new while warming up the class. [and i think i might add some stuff from the P90X dvd my sister got me...lol, should be interesting.] lauren's graduation was last night. mucho fun. stayed at her house til like midnight watching Sister Act and then had to call it a night...of course, we went shopping today with gaby, so it all balanced out. :) uhm...also yesterday, i met a really nice woman in helen's neighborhood...shiela. she's got a wonderful personality...two great kids...and such a positive outlook on life. she also has MS. she lives normally, just with the help of nursing aids @ her home...has a motorized wheelchair, like my mom used to have - the EXACT same one, which i found a little strange...a sign perhaps? lol - but my mom got hers taken away...she ran over too many people's toes. ;) lol...just like mommie...XD ha...but shiela's so nice...another person who i admire for not letting it take over their life. each and every 1 of you have a place in my heart...that i'll constantly look up to as i progress thru college towards MS research. but anyways, her daughter and i both love tinkerbell. lol XD she told me a lot of stuff about MS that i didnt know. little factoids and what not that she's experienced or the doctors have told her thru her trials & tribulations with MS. unfortunately, she was also diagnosed with cancer...so not all of the facts may relate strictly to MS, but still worth keeping in mind. oh! and mom called yesterday. :) it was one of her good days, and the nurses talked to nancy & grady saying she's been doing real well this past week...as opposed to a few weeks ago when she seemed to digress. but all good days are welcomed now. hopefully they'll be occurring more frequently..??

okay, enough with that. for now, i must retire...gotta be up early for a 6:30am jog with sum1...where we're going for this run, i havent a clue. but it should be fun. it's in preparation for the CHKD 8k race on saturday, which i have a feeling i am sooo not prepared for. =/ but i'll make it thru. :D

gnite ppl. :)
