Wheee, Midlife Crisis!

[silverthorne]

I'm 38; I'd say I'm due for one, right?

Anyhow, I've signed up for classes at the Tae Kwan Do dojo across the street. As in, six months and there's a gi sitting on my couch with a dojo thing on the back that I have to learn how to take care of properly, classes.

I'll be out of pocket 6:45 to approx 8:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays at least until May. If I do well enough, that will likely become a permanent fixture until I get out of Texas.

Dude. My classes. One other adult and the rest kids! LOL.

But--I'm also allowed to stretch and practice whenever I like. And watch. As in, take a little hop across the street and check things out whenever it's open. The teacher said so and suggested it. So...yeah.

Also: Kon used to do Tae Kwon Do. Let's hope I do him/his memory justice.

I want to learn Tae Kwon Do. My high school boyfriend was a red belt-three stripe.

Dude! ATA National Headquarters is in Little Rock. Maybe if you get good you can come to the big champeen-ship here.

*nods nods*

Kon had gotten to black belt, but I don't remember how many stripes.

I've wanted to take some sort of martial arts since I was 13. Due to mpney concerns...or my family not taking me seriously enough, it never happened. And then I hot my 20's, and the bad relationship phase of my life and...yeah.

So I guess my 'midlife crisis' is really me going back and doing all the things I would have done in the 90's if I had been distracted by other, not so healthy for me, things.

Heeee! Oh god, it'll probably be another twenty years before I'm 'good'...but I will keep that in mind. You gonna put me up for the night if I make it? ;)

XD

It's going to be a while before you let me live that one down, huh?

Y'all both have pretty hair!

HEEEEEe

And, um, yes.

And if I end up pulling bridesmaid duty some day, you're going to want to throw a veil over *my* face to hide the grin.

[silverthorne.livejournal.com]

LOL! Okay. I'll give you that, if only because I take pride in my hair. :)

And...if that very big if happens...why would you be grinning?

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

Because I'm smug. I know you'll do me right in terms of a bridesmaid's dress, and, I'm smug. And I love happy beginnings even more than fairy tale endings. And my business partner thinks it's possible too and she's already told me she's crashing the event. LOL

heh, okay. I'll make sure there's extra space and food and stuff for her. :)

'Course, you already have me married, and I'm not even dating.

...you haven't become my mother, have you? ;)

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

God no.

I am more...that annoying cousin/baby sister.

Best watch out or I'll be borrowing jewelry when you're not looking. ;)

heh.
