Agree to disagree...

People are weird.

That weirdness really rears it's ugly head during times of political debate.  There is always an undercurrent of weirdness, but nothing like an election to bring the radicals out of the woodwork.

So, no big secret, I lean to the left. Pretty far to the left, by most people's standards.  I'm open minded about it though.  I am completely open to agree to disagree.

But...

Do not judge me if you don't know me...
Do not condemn my beliefs and I will not condemn yours...
Do not witness to me or my children...
Keep religion out of the science classroom and put it into humanities where it belongs...
I'll respect your opinions, if you respect mine...

And we'll get along just fine.

Radicalism is a very scary and nasty thing.  No matter where it comes from.  And it can come from the left as well as the right. 

Everyone just needs to smarten the hell up and be open minded.  Ha ha ha!  Like that will ever happen, as I watch society become more and more segregated in their beliefs.

In that case, I guess we just need to find like minded people and stick together. But then again, I will circle back around to saying that I am willing to hear your opinions and respect them, if you are willing to hear mine and in turn also respect them.  I will agree to disagree, until you cross the line. Until then, we'll get along just fine.  Unfortunately it seems that no one can control themselves and the line just gets bulldozed.

Very disappointing.

Halfway through...

Okay, almost halfway through.  I think we are on day 42 or something like that.  This week is the halfway point.  It's getting a little repetative, but you have to look for the humor in the work-outs.  Tony is like the Michael Scott of exercise videos. "Blam Pam!!" and "Coca COla, that's right, I said it!!"  Corny and annoying, but there is gold hidden in there.  We just tough it out and laugh at the stupid stuff and the cheesy music. Once again, I can proudly report that we have not yet missed a work-out.

Moving right along...

We are still at it.  I can proudly say that niether of us have missed a day of P90X, yet.  The kids are getting used to seeing me jumping around in front of the TV.  The little guy will get in there and do it, too. It's pretty cute.  He was being a terror while I was doing the yoga work-out on Friday, which is challenging when you don't have a four year old running back and forth under your downward dogs that you hold for the longest 5 breaths in existence.  I have to say his form is great, though.  I'm jealous.

Keepin' on truckin'!

Recovery Week, that's a joke!!

We made it to the recovery week in P90X.  Scary thing is that it is harder than the non recovery week!!

We have also discovered that it is not getting any easier, we are just getting better at it.

I still can't do eveything in all the work-outs. I really have to modify and baby my knee for some of the work outs.  I also pulled a muscle in my hip/butt.  That is slowly improving.  It sucks to get old! I have not even tried to do a pull up.  Maybe I should, but I don't want to, yet. 

But.....

We are actually doing this!!!  and I am actually keping up with my husband!!!
