My guts redux
2010-06-01 02:03:00 So I finally had the hernia repair in November. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how long that repair actually held? Anyone? No? February, People. Just…..February. Remind me to express utter outrage to the surgeon the next time I see him. Which, if I can help it, won’t be for a few months. ...
The case of the homicidal garbage can and the ninja
2009-09-24 19:30:00 Hey! I was just talking about you yesterday afternoon! I was talking about how I hadn’t been blogging. I realized yesterday that I might be becoming illiterate because I haven’t been blogging. Seriously. I’ve made some horrific grammatical mistakes lately. Plus my friend, Sue, is probably feeling deprived because she derives great pleasure from watching me ...
It?s all about the JOURNEY to black belt, right?
2009-03-16 20:09:00 Even with Scout’s sneaky attempt to get me blogging again, I’m afraid this will be my last blog entry for awhile. On Wednesday I’m having surgery on my left wrist. I’m being told I will be in a fingers to shoulder brace that locks out all motion for the next four months. Remember the wrist ...
Have you ever wondered what an asshat would look like?
2008-10-30 22:05:00 Well Percy Wells drew you the visual! Anyway, I just thought I’d show you in case you were wondering. All righty then. I have been addicted to Facebook lately. However, I find Facebook far less satisfying than blogging. It’s kinda cool to say hi to people you haven’t seen in a long time and to stay ...
Anyone know a good joint psychologist?
2008-10-15 21:31:00 So yeah. Here I am four months later after taking eight weeks off of karate and my knees are worse. My right leg has decided to completely rebel and gives out when I bend my knee. The phyical therapist said that my quad muscle is refusing to fire because my patella tendon is angry. So ...
Talk of the dojo this morning: My Boobs
2008-09-11 22:58:00 Ok, so my girls have been taking a beating lately during sparring. I was looking through the Century Martial Arts Catalog when, BEHOLD (cue angel music): Ideal for Martial Arts! The Cool choice for active women. Poly/cotton lycra for easy care and best performance. Flexible non break polyethylene inserts (sold seperately) increase comfort, support and protection. Inserts ...
Pieces of me?
2008-09-09 22:08:00 No not Britney Spears. I’m talking about the pieces of me that hurt today. I can’t find one that doesn’t. Oy. Karate was rough this morning! Can someone PULEEZ tell me WHY my foot hurts? WHY?! I didn’t even kick anyone! I also passed my Hapkido belt test the other day. Two more belt tests until ...
New Invention Today
2008-08-27 00:57:00 It’s called: Quiet Time. Why oh WHY didn’t I think of this at the BEGINNING of summer? So I’m pretty exhausted today. My Hapkido belt test is next week. As of last night, I hadn’t even SEEN 75% of my material, much less had a chance to practice it. So I did 4.5 hours of ...
Death of a Clown?
2008-08-07 22:51:00 I see there has been an uprising around here with demands for entries and such. I’m only one person, people! I’m not a machine. If I were a machine, I wouldn’t be sitting here trying to type with my right arm in a sling. Yes, you read that right. The only part of my body ...
Your prayers worked, thank you!
2008-06-25 07:11:00 After three frustrating phone calls with Nurse Biotch (God, I hate that woman!) I managed to get a call back from the doctor himself this afternoon. The cadaver injury with all the words in it was explained to me as a ding or dent in the cartiledge caused by trauma- a direct blow to the ...
Fear and Loathing in Seattle?
2008-06-21 06:12:00 The kids always ask to help me water the garden. Except they usually end up watering ants walking along the concrete cracks or a spider in a tree or worse, each other. They always end up muddy and wet and the flowers are still dry. So tonight I let them water knowing they were going ...
Signs of NOT Aging and other random science?
2008-06-08 22:19:00 Who ever said “A watched pot never boils”? Because I just watched a pot of water boil. Ok, I waited until I saw a few more little bubbles than when I first started watching, got bored and dumped in the pasta. But honestly, it was going to start boiling ANY second. It’s just my attention ...
Whatever Wednesday
2008-06-05 06:10:00 Although I have not received my scores yet, my judge told me that I passed my Hapkido belt test tonight. YIPEE! My Karate belt test is next week. I did hurt my wrist tonight when my partner did a takedown that had me landing on my left side, but hopefully it will be better in the ...
Soooooo, what are you doing this August?
2008-05-29 23:14:00 I am totally walking around with that pick up line today. Our dojo is having an intra-school sparring tournament in August and teams will consist of two fighters from each belt rank. So I’m walking around the dojo today trying to recruit team members. Today I sidled up to the scariest dude in the dojo. I’ve ...
I know, I know, I KNOW!
2008-05-22 19:28:00 Sorry, I just have not had a moment to myself. I swear I’ll get back to blogging. My wrist is still hurting so typing is really uncomfortable. Hand doctor says he thinks it’s just a very deep bone bruise, however, there is still some concern over the snuffbox area. I go back in two weeks and ...
Whatever Wednesday: In a pinch, I went hockey?
2008-05-01 02:33:00 I just want you all to know I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to blog or get to comments. I will, I promise! I was able to write this yesterday over the course of the whole day, a sentence at a time and I never did get to publish it! I didn’t even ...
It?s called Poto Blockchi in Japanese
2008-04-14 18:01:00 As a martial artist, we’re taught to use whatever weapons are available. Whether that be our fists and feet, or…. something else. This weekend Steve and I were unloading the dishwasher and on either side of it. He began his customary trash talk so I flicked a roundhouse kick out over the dishwasher, (yes we’re ...
Math
2008-03-21 19:28:00 5 days a week of martial arts + 1 day a week with trainer + 1 day of rollerblading x too many joint injuries = prescription anti inflammatories + muscle relaxant = 1 wicked drug induced hangover In the words of Ree, OH. MAH. HOLY. HELL. YA’LL! I hurt and I can’t shake the cobwebs. ...
Dear Honey,
2008-03-14 20:23:00 Dear Honey, Because you and kids ate all the cookies for breakfast this morning, I had nothing chocolately to munch on after lunch. So I went to get a piece of my very special, just for me, chocolate. It appears that my very special, just for me, chocolate is missing. Missing, of course, being a generous term for ...
Tournament Results
2008-03-10 03:27:00 You’ve all been on pins and needles waiting for the results, haven’t you? ;) I have to say that the tournament was a great experience for everyone. It wasn’t what I expected, but we’re all ready to do it again. Having been a swimmer my whole life, for some reason I expected the tournament to go ...
Fight, fight, fight!
2008-03-06 18:27:00 Ok, folks! This is it! This weekend Steve and I are fighting in a karate tournament! I’m nervous because since we were sick, neither of us has sparred in a month! I don’t know about Steve, but I feel rusty! Last night we sparred in the living room a little. Well, no, let me rephrase that. ...
I?m a fighter not a lover?
2008-02-03 21:27:00 Uh, ya’ll? You should see my face today. I’ve got dark shadows under each eye, the bridge of my nose hurts and my eyes are all swollen. Apparently in sparring class, I WAS NOT PROTECTING MY HEAD! Son #1 was cleared to return to contact sports on Friday so he attended the sparring class. He’s responsible ...
The dentist, the gyno and the dojo?
2008-01-31 19:47:00 Today is going to be the BESTEST EVER. I get to go to the dentist! Now before you go feeling all sorry for me, you might as well know, I’m a freak of nature. Never had a cavity. Neither has Steve. We have good teeth. Nevertheless, STILL. HATE. THE. DENTIST! We used to have ...
Now THAT is Karma, Biotch!
2008-01-23 06:47:00 Steve tried to kick me in the head. Then he had to hop around on one foot because I grabbed his foot and trapped it against my shoulder and ran around with it. Now THAT is Karma, Biotch! ;D
Then we can talk about Karma, Biotch.
2008-01-13 02:24:00 OH. MY. GOD! I received my worst sparring injury to date. I discovered over the last few weeks that my roundhouse knee to the stomach is one of my strongest techniques. So I was sparring with Steve today and went in for a hard roundhouse knee but when I went to lower my knee, it hurt really ...
Other signs and symptoms I?ve been in Louisiana?.
2008-01-03 18:06:00 It’s not just the ya’ll that’s coming out my mouth. I haven’t pronounced the “r” at the end of a word in over a week (like buttah and suppah.) Do you know I heard myself saying “Where you at?” mostly because it was easier. I also heard myself referring to getting out of the car as “gettin’ ...
Water buffalo-2, Teixeira family-0
2007-12-17 03:38:00 Steve and I always spend the few days after sparring class trying to assess what injuries were sustained and to what degree. When your adrenaline is juiced way up you don’t notice the blows. Last week I rolled out of bed and moaned “Oooooh I feel like I was in a fight.” He helpfully said ...
Hapkido Chic?
2007-12-13 17:29:00 Years ago I stopped running to the store in food stained t-shirts and sweats with baby food in my hair and spit up on my shoulder. Because every single time I did, not only did I run into to someone I knew, it was always either an ex-boyfriend or some guy I’d had a terrible ...

My scary day
2007-12-05 23:58:00 Years ago, on Oprah, I saw this guy who wrote a book called “The Gift of Fear.” On the show he talked about how listening to that little voice inside your head that says “something is wrong” will save your life. I try to pay attention to that vague unease, because when I was 13, ...
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting Part 2
2007-12-02 21:22:00 Yesterday Steve and I finally got to go to a sparring class together. Between us and the kids, we know almost every sensei in the dojo, but yesterday we encountered a sensei we’d never met. Although Steve and I have been doing this for the same amount of time, he is a higher belt rank ...
Visiting Limitations
2007-10-30 18:01:00 We have a friend who every year around his birthday, turns into a recluse and disappears into the wilderness for days on end. Once we asked him what he was doing out there and he replied “Visiting my limitations.” It’s an expression Steve and I have used ever since. I’m a limitation visitin’ kinda girl. ...
I am a weirdo magnet
2007-10-25 21:54:00 I’ve resigned myself to the fact that no matter what I do, I am a weirdo magnet. Doesn’t matter where I go, they find me. I seem to be a pervert magnet too. Doesn’t matter the sex, male or female, they find me too. If you’re weird or a pervert, I have no doubt, you’ll ... |
