Tea Trade

That trainer kicked my tush into gear!

Almost one week later and I'm just now not sore anymore.

We began with cardio, then she had me do lots of tricep work with a medicine ball, tricep pushups, and "rest" activity with a kettlebell to work my core muscles.

ouch!!!!

LUCKILY I received a soul and muscle soothing tea trade package from Alyson from Onyx and Alabaster!

I love that she included beautiful stationary and a sprig of lavender.

Thanks Alyson!!!

Also, thanks to Melita of Gussying Up the Tuttle for organizing the trade again!

Massage Therapy School & 5k

Seattle Sunset

I started classes at Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy last week and so far so good!

My classes are Principles of Touch, Anatomy and Physiology I, Swedish I, and a class that varies every Thursday afternoon

.

The very first day of Swedish we got to be hands on with our classmates and just get acquainted and cozied up to the idea of touching people.

To quote my partner "I loooooove schooooool"

So now I have to figure out which massage table to purchase.

(and in which price range...eek!)

Also, I recently visited my family in Canada. My nine (NINE!!!!) year old cousin Maddi ran a 5k with her mom. Soooo methinks I have to get my exercising act back together. Luckily I got a call from my gym Urban Active this morning that I won a complementary session with a trainer! So I'm scheduled for that tomorrow afternoon.

Now off to continue the job search, study and ship a tea trade package!

Scenes from Seattle: Microbus Camping Whidbey Island

Seattle Bound!

Realized while packing my suitcase that I've become incomprehensibly high-maintenance.

Shall amend this unfortunate situation immediately.

There's no way I need all this CRAP
