Not Your Momma's Asterisk

Ok, so I didn't exactly use the numbers like I said.  I went another way.  More work, more stuff.  More more.  Not sure what the center will be just yet.   Maybe more white.  Maybe the circles or dots.  I will test and see.

And here is something on the weird side.  We had lunch at Chicken Salad Chick.  They have chicken salad 14 ways.  And only chicken salad.  And it's not bad actually.  I don't know if they are a chain or just a local store. 

 But they are pretty good and not any fried food and french fries.


Frank was home Wednesday so I suggested he go in the pool with Sawyer for his Swim Class.  Sawyer was not happy about that change out however.  You would have thought we had switched him out with some random stranger who was trying shatter his universe! He kept looking at and me and back at Frank and saying MAMA emphatically and pointing to me.  He screamed and cried the whole class.   And I couldn't pretend he was someone else's spoiled kid, he was all mine! 

He was curl his body up when he was supposed to be floating and he would push the ducks away when Miss Erin would push them to him to distract his tears.
 
I didn't bring my bathing suit because I didn't think it would be such an important thing, you know.  So he was kinda stuck with Papa for the class.  And he let the whole facility know he was not happy about that one bit!

I had no idea I was so pivotal to world peace!


 So we took him home, fed him some sticks and he was fine.

30 Day Performance Challenge, Swim Class and A Quilting Challenge

Thursday is the culmination of the 30 Day Performance Challenge at the Southern Oaks Athletic Club.  This is a neighborhood workout/swim/tennis/leisure club where we are members with along with some friends and family.  To promo a new piece of equipment that does a sonograph of your body in a pre/post comparison of fat/muscle body make up.  Really interesting. 

You go in, get scanned.  Get really bummed out.  Work like a dog in classes for a month with a personal trainer.  Get scanned again.  And compare.  The winner gets bragging rights and a free month and some other stuff.

I told the trainer today when I left, no matter what happened at the test on Thursday,  there is nobody who has worked harder or gotten further than I have in this month.  I am in a class with two of the facility owners, three class instructors, a twenty something, a thirty something and a forty something. 


Yep.  Nobody's worked harder.  I am definitely stronger, thinner, more muscular and leaner. 

Sawyer and I started swim classes on Monday.  He is a natural and I got to show off how great I looked in my new swim suit.  They took promo photos to use for the brochures for the Baby Buoy Swim School. 

Sawyer floated on his back and on his front and kicked and loved the water.   He reluctantly wore some swim fins. Ate the floating ducks with relish.

I love the photo of him with the rings.  He is definitely headed for the Olympics!  I think I will save this photo and show it to the world when he stands on the podium accepting that gold medal while the American National Anthem plays proudly in the stadium!

The new quilting challenge for Remember Me Guild is to make a two color quilt with either the Kona Color of the the Year Tiger Lily or the Pantone Color of the Year Ultra Violet.  Trouble is, I can't find any place that has any amount of either one.  And the Purple one is scarce as hen's teeth.

Any ideas where I can get some? 

I know what I want to do.
