Well, today, I have reached my fitness and eating goal. Even without exercise, I would have met my goal and not gone over my calorie intake. It was amazing! I did my 30 laps again and 200 kicks, and amazingly there were no fires. Thankfully. I ate a salad for lunch with very little dressing, …

There’s a Fire in Those Hills
Yes. There really is a fire in those hills. I was at my uncle's house today, swimming in the pool, as usual. I had already done my 30 laps and I was just relaxing. One of our daughters and her boyfriend were going to come over for a little while, so I was using the …
Leaves, Trees, and Birds – With the Sound of Traffic in the Background
So, I'm really going to miss my uncle's pool when he sells his house eventually. Thankfully, with the work they have left to do, I don't think he's going to sell it before the end of this year's swimming season. That makes me happy! I'd like to use it until it just gets so darn …

Laps Are Us
Well, I increased my laps to 30 on Thursday. So, in 7 days, I have completed 160 laps total. I skipped Friday, since I have guaranteed myself one night a week free. Last week, it just happened to be Friday. I had a Student Bar Association Budget Committee meeting, and I was just exhausted and …
Swimming, Round Two
Today, I went swimming again. I know this is not a shock. This was the fifth day in a row, and I once again did my 25 laps. Sweetie drove us to work today (we work at the same place), and he waited for the 25 minutes or so that it took me to get …
100 Laps in 4 Days
I have started swimming again. I'm using the pool at my uncle's house, as I've talked about before. It's not a huge pool, but it's the perfect size for doing laps. In four days, I have done one hundred laps. That's about 1,000 more than I've done in the past year. I love to swim. …
Cool Time to Be a Law Student
It's a really cool time to be a law student. Kelo, Bong Hits for Jesus, Casey Anthony, and Westboro Baptist Church, just to name a few. A couple we've gotten to study, where classes a few years ago did not, and the last two we've witnessed as they have gone down in the history books. …
The Forty Trip
Well, we are officially on the Forty Trip. This is the trip we are taking out of the country so that I can celebrate my 40th birthday away from my town. I just really wanted to do something special for my birthday, and I really, really wanted to be out of town for a bit, …
New Friends
May 30, 2011 We have made some new friends on our trip. I love meeting and talking with people from other countries, because they give such a different perspective of the world. As my boss and others have said, "There is a great big world out there." Sometimes it's hard to remember that, given the …
The Last Night of Our Holiday
May 28, 2011 Tonight is the last night of our holiday abroad. I really don't want to go home. I know we have to work hard to play hard, but work just sucks. Today we were in one of our very favorite places, St. Maarten. We love it. The people are helpful but not pushy, …
