Grumblehead. Okay, so I'm a little behind schedule, but here's an entry for Thursday.
Having gotten home about 2 am this morning from my class reunion, I'm still feeling pretty tired. I'll have to do a recap tonight or tomorrow. Right now, I just need a nap.

Class Reunion Jitters. A Real Entry posted for your reading (dis)pleasure.
You can read it only if you promise not to laugh at how stupid I am.

Promoted 2 ranks. Sorry for missing an update yesterday, right after work I rushed over to my 6:30 pm Karate class with Hubby and worked out for the next two hours. By the time we got home, my body was so riddled with pain and fatigue that all I could do was grab a bite to eat, gain a nice massage from Hubby and fall into a deep slumber.
The interesting thing about last night's class was that Hubby and I were promoted two ranks. Not two belts, that is; but we gained two more yellow stripes on our white belt. One more stripe, then comes yellow belt. It's been somewhat difficult trying to un-learn some of the techniques from the other martial arts styles that we studied in the past, but it's been fun. 4 sessions, 3 stripes. Not bad progress, I guess?
I'm having a hard time adjusting to the grappling element of this particular art. I'm not a grappler -- I'm more of a kata person. I enjoy doing the forms, which gives you a great workout as it builds technique. Thank God Hubby is usually my partner in the grappling. I don't care much for having someone else straddling me as we practice chokes/holds/pins. Just a personal preference, I guess. Hubby doesn't mind at all. I guess with his Judo background, he's used to having strangers grabbing him and sweating all over him. Ick.
Nevertheless, I'm having a great time at our new karate dojo. It's also nice having a mutual interest with the Hubby.

Exhausted. I can't believe how exhausted I am today. Last night, I got all of 5 hours of sleep... which obviously is not nearly enough for me. I usually need at least 6.5 hours to be functional. 7-8 is preferred. I was totally in a fuzz at work today. Then when I got home, I fell asleep and slept like a rock for 2 hours before Hubby eventually woke me up so that we could have dinner together.
I hope I'm not getting a relapse or catching the cold that Terry and Ted have been spreading around the office.

Cruelty to Animals? Don't call the Humane Society on me, but here's a 5-second mpeg of Toby hobbling around after today's injury. He seems to be in much better spirits and has been hobbling all over the house, despite my efforts at trying to keep him quiet and relaxed.
Toby certainly takes after me. He's so restless and can't keep still!

Okay, I still need to work on the navigation a bit, but you can use your trusty Back button for now, right?
I uploaded a Real Entry, your first taste of 2 Scoops Rice. Enjoy!

It works now! Yay!
Thanks to those of you who have already dropped me a note to comment on the new look! Your support is so appreciated! You have no idea how encouraging it is! I thank you!
More work to be done before the night is out. We should be high-res (at least 1024x768) compliant shortly!

Built for 800x600. Darn it. It just figures... my site looks pretty funky with a screen resolution higher than 800x600. For those of you running 1024x768, all I can say is "sorry" for now. Maybe I'll fix it later... but not right now. I hope you can bear with it for now...

A new look. Uploaded the new front page. However, I still need to redesign the innards, so if you look around, you'll notice that everything still has that "Book of Days" look. I'm working on it...
