INSANITY. Day 12.

The day got away from me. Stayed up waaaaay to late last night. Had some fun with the guildies downing Onyxia, although I got meself incindered fairly early on. One of my favorite people-Shrinnpoof-was also on, and once again we were Queens of the Emotes. Brought back memories of running Kara, us busily whispering and totally not paying attention to where we were going ... The good 'ol days.

But back on topic. Stayed up too late, woke up not wanting to do anything. We're in the difficult portion of any exercise routine: the 2nd week. The first week you're all hyped up, carrying through on pure adrenaline. The second week? You're starting to question why the heck you wanted to do this in the first place and you don't yet have the results you're working so hard for. But we are soldiering through, encouraged and bolstered by the following text from my baby brother, who is also doing INSANITY:

"The second month of INSANITY is insane."

Whee. Just whee. So I'm constantly reminding myself why I'm doing this: marathon shape. Marathon shape. And it's only 40 minutes. After a marathon that's nothing. Mentally I'm incredibly prepared for INSANITY. Physically is slowly catching up:) My words of workout wisdom for the day?

"Have all of your gear ready the night before."

Seriously. More than once the fact that my shoes had been waiting for me all night long is the only reason I've gotten up.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
