“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”
Hi everybody!! I missed writing and posting on Friday and over the weekend because I was so busy cleaning and running around. I really wanted to wake up Saturday morning to a clean house and be able to take my walk early, and take the kids to their classes and then just chill for the rest of the day. And that is exactly what I did, so mission accomplished.
Hugh and Nia played on the playground and I did my laps -- 10 to be exact.
Oh, did i tell you I did 10 laps!!! YES I am very proud of myself for going from 3 to 10 laps in 6 days.
Around 6pm our lights went out. Yes, we had a good old fashioned "blackout".
Minutes later there were voices out in the street. Everyone was coming out of their homes, children were riding bikes and scooters and we decided to leave the darkness of the house to enjoy the remaining light of the evening and the company of neighbors we very rarely interact with. The kids had fun and I took pictures and Hugh messed around on facebook on his blackberry. (See pictures)
Lights came on, our lives went back to normal.
Sunday started out less eventful..actually I can't even remember what we did before around 6 pm, at which time we settled down to watch the much antifipated new episode of my favorite HBO Series TrueBlood. Then within in five minutes of it starting..and as I just put on a pot with Jasmine Rice, the frigging lights went out AGAIN!! Talk about being pissed. Anyway..it came back after about an hour and OMG I proceeded to make some DELISH whole Tiliapia Fish, Escoveitch style..it was sooo good. See my pictures below.

It was a really great day on Saturday beginning with Haile's tennis class at 9am. She hit the court looking cute.

I went from being pretty much a couch potato, with the majority of my physical activity restricted to going up and down my stairs, cleaning my 3,000 + sq feet home (which i always considered good exercise), keeping up with the kids and ...doing the "DO" (if you know what i mean) LOL At any rate, it's time for a change and I haven't felt this motivated in a very long time.
The rest of Saturday was fairly uneventful, we came home from the park and each of us pretty much retreated to our respective computers. I even took a short nap while listening to a meditation tape, plus i was feeling pretty drained from my 10 laps. LOL. At 3pm I started dinner -- a vietnamese chicken salad.
