10x 42#
5x 62#
3x 72#
3x 82#
3x 92#
I wanted to sort of take it easy since I’ve been sick and haven’t worked out in a week. I needed to get up and moving but didn’t want to overdo it… so I stopped after a good round of 92#. (Honestly I was more proud of doing a power clean at 92# than 3 thrusters!)
Thrusters demo here, if you’re wondering.
No seriously, I am having nightmares now that involve it coming to life and trying to seduce me. Though if I were rich, I would buy this for my next white elephant party, because this is the sort of gift that keeps on giving.
For the first time ever, I saw them selling Dodger Dogs in the stands. You know, like they do at every other ballpark in America. The guy only came by once, and it was an hour before the game started, when there was no line at the concession stand, but I see this as a huge step forward for our little ballpark. Go Blue!
This woman was in front of us in line for the grocery store. And no, we were not too close to the beach. LA is just a pants-optional town. Accept it.
So it’s important to protect the kids. Just in case some overenthusiastic sea gulls come swooping down looking for a treat.
I’ve been to Ninjin a few times this month and I’ve been quite pleased with them. First off, they always have baseball on. They even have something called the “Go Baseball Special.” Second, their food is great. And lastly, the sushi chef makes fun of me for eating so much. He points and laughs. So I come back.

Oh good, I’ve been looking for that bra. Sometimes it concerns me that parents don’t know their own kids’ email address. But then we couldn’t play this game, could we?
What should I reply that I want for my birthday? For my mother to stop emailing strangers about my undergarments?
Hi Kim,
We didn’t get your message until 9:00 last night and I thought it would be too late to call. Dinner for your grads must have been nice. I just wanted to let you know that you should receive your DVD either on Wednesday or Thursday. Also we mailed your package on Tuesday and you should receive it within a week. We sent it 1st class and are requiring confirmation of delivery. I insured it for $600, and I hope it makes it to you in perfect condition. I sent your slip and bra because there was room in the package. I sent 2 picture frames, 1 picture, 1 blanket, 1 hand soap dispenser and grandma’s quilt. Kim, I am wondering what you would like for your birthday?
Love, Mom
OMG don’t look now but she emerged from the water carrying her hair in her hand. Or maybe someone else’s hair that she found and rather liked and decided to keep. I didn’t stick around long enough to find out.

In other news, I climbed the rope with no feet! Cill told me she thought I could do it, so I got up there to prove her wrong and ended up getting to the top. Whoa.
Today was fun. I’ve never done a heavy split jerk, as far as I can remember (that’s what she said!) so this was new and a bit scary. I started to freak out about throwing that bar above my head. Something about self-preservation. But I lifted more than my bodyweight, which is what I was going for. Yay for me.
I would also like to take this time to mention the jerk since we’re talking about jerks. Remember that person at my gym that really pissed me off for a while? Well I successfully avoided him for about 3 months and was feeling good about that, but he’s resurfaced and in the past 2 weeks has already made snide and rude comments to my sister and friend about how much more advanced he is than them, how his workouts are harder, and now theirs are too easy for him. Are you fucking kidding me? I want to vote him off the island.
