YMCA Holiday Zumba Party went great! We had about 75 attendees and everyone seemed to have a great time. Now I'm resting a bit before my appreciation party tonight. Oh I love my new iPad!!!

quickly...
Last Zumba gold class this am.  One of the ladies told me I was getting thin:)  Lunched with Stephen @ Applebees and stopped by St. Vincents to watch Mike & Randy give Kindergartners & 2nd Graders an ambulance demo.  Jack came over to play with Nick.  finished up ribs for supper on the patio.

Big tornado in Joplin MO last night.  Storms accross the country.  We've had some mild storms too.

Zumba Cancun, My Sweet Macy, Brothers of the Cross, and Mikey's Ribs

lazy day I'm getting old.  Had a fun night doing Zumba at the Cancun Bar & Grille.  only had 2 drinks but was totally worn out (& drippin' sweatty) after 2 hours of hard dancing.  Cleaned a bit this morning & rested.  My favorite part of the day, though, was sitting on the front porch with Macy watching the storm come in.  She's so beautiful.  I love having conversations with her.  She brought out her favorite quilt and we talked about how she could have it when she grows up.  She came up with a plan to keep passing it on through the family.  She's also starting to take Sam on walks by herself which I'm sure is going to be fine but still bothers me that she's out on her own.  Baby steps on letting her have some freedom I guess.  AS for Nick & Stephen - they played "jesus" today, complete with a wooden cross and crown of thorns.  I love my kids.

Mike smoked his best ribs ever - yum!  I'm finishing up a half-hearted second week on Weight Watchers.  I'm slightly over points with one day to go.  so even if I only lose a few ounces, I'll be happy but (hopefully) ready to hit it hard next week.  Lord, give me willpower!
