looking for what I knew
“Bright light almost blinding / black night still there shining / I can’t stop, keep on climbing / looking for what I knew”

“Your brother brought me silver / your sister warmed my soul / but now I laugh and pull so hard / and see you swinging on the Gallows Pole”

“I gave two presentations in preschool yesterday!”
—Chloe from gymnastics
“Hmmmmmm…’on the same team’….that could be interpreted in different ways…”
—Susan from gymnastics, re: me and Diana…fairly true, LOL

Yesterday was awesome. I <3 Parks/gymnastics/kids/Diana. A new session of Parks classes started yesterday and it was LOVE! SO great to see Chloe/Isabella/Madeline/Anna again, SO great to meet new kids (Lauren! Coco, who did an amazing cartwheel out of nowhere [quickly moved her up to the advanced class]!), and so nice to have girls return to our beginner class (Amy! Kylie!) and meet new adorable ones. They were pretty well-behaved...mostly...and could DO stuff. Oh YEAH! Super psyched. Madeleine jumped into my arms for a big hug at the end, and Chloe verrrrry shyly/adorably said "it was nice to see you" to Madeleine at the end, too, which is AWESOME to see because Chloe is so shy. YES! Then picked up sushi and Izzes and went to Diana's for a long loooooooong great chat about life and work and all of that. "What were we thinking 5 years ago? What happened to us?” “We got smarter…” Ha. (“They are ollllld…aren’t you guys, like, 25?!” -Isabella)
Then home to Hang Out with Jeff!
We saw American Reunion, as noted, on opening night on Friday (SIDE NOTE, YES I DID see the original American Pie movie on opening night, I can’t decide what’s worse: the fact that I REMEMBER this from *1999* OR the fact that I can ASCERTAIN this via various sources. WTF. Anyway), we both loved it. We are losers. But it was (a) a great nod to the previous movies/characters, which let’s face it, we are suckers for [nods to old characters in any form, that is] (b) a great nod to the ACTUAL reality of a 13(12)-year-reunion and all of the things that still exist/persist/remain, yearssssss later. I can’t explain it, and it was extremely cheesy/shallow, but TRUE, too. Heh. Anyway.
In other news, I am ON the agenda for a conference in Atlanta in May. OK then! I guess I am presenting! (Might have to snag gymnastics-Chloe to help…heh.) Should be pretty cool.
