We had a busy weekend. Friday night we saw the movie We Own the Night. It was OK, I'd give it a 2 out of 4. Saturday we spent getting the house ready for company next weekend. We also joined the Y in Collierville. Pretty nifty place. Sunday, Chase played bells in the Sanctuary and they made no mistakes! Poor feller, never saw us though and sat with friends. He even called the house to tell us he was looking for us......sigh. It was kinda funny that we had no problem finding him after the service!

Darrin had to work this weekend because of the October 15th tax deadline. Hold on honey, today's almost over! He heads out of town Wed and gets back in time Friday for the cookout.

I went to my first classes at the Y this a.m. The first class was called Arthritis aerobics. I was the only person under 65 in the water and got SCHOOLED by those ole folks! After this, I went to a foundations Yoga class. Alright, now picture me trying to balance in just about any pose....Yes, it was an interesting class. The instructor was awesome and told me that I could feel a sense of accomplishment if I learned to breath correctly with the movements. I left have a kinda, sorta feeling of accomplishment. I'd lose my focus trying to move and breath. The instructor thought I might be taking on too much to fast and encouraged me to stick with just the water aerobics for 60 days and then start her class again, but never twice in one day. She does teach individuals, but isn't familiar with ALS, although she plans on doing research so she can determine what she can offer for me and we'll talk again on Wed. I like the idea of individual instruction, because of the specialized (that's me, SPECIAL) needs that I have.

Also, we picked up Jilda's Halloween costume. She's going to be a spider. Savannah's a bumble bee; Deke's a monkey; Chase is the reaper; Darrin and I are still in progress. I'm thinking of an Ape for Darrin, since Deke's a monkey and a witch for me, since I already have a hat.

Enjoy your week!
