PTS and Sundry Info

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be involved in my friend's PTS (Personal Training) practical exam, which she passed with flying colors (Congratulations, Lutador!). She had to develop a program for a case client, Gail. Yesterday, I was Gail, and my friend was my Personal Trainer. We did some cardio, we did the bench press, the overhead press, push ups, tricep dips, cooldown. Once the session was complete, the examiner provided her critique, and also providing the passing grade. Our reward and treat awaited us at Williams Coffee Pub for a hot drink and to share a yumyum waffle.

Today was our first cleaning session with our lady. After we worked out some logistics, we got started, where basically I shadowed her. That worked well. The house smells, and looks amazing. It's almost a shame to have to use the bathrooms now! Wow. She is a hard worker, very thorough, she does a lot, she works fast, and taught me a few things as well. I am so glad that we decided to go ahead with this.

Tomorrow, I might be able to finish the book that I've been reading. I am so close to completing The Lovely Bones, and so far I have enjoyed it. Not quite sure yet what I am going to select next from my bookshelf, but when I know, you'll know.

I have The Kite Runner in my list of books to buy....and my birthday is coming up (next week) so maybe my hubby will buy it if he runs out of ideas for me. :-); 10/17/2006 04:24:00 p.m.

Horoscope of Note

August 2010
One of the most powerful methods of learning from both dreaming and waking experiences is reflection, or re-entry, Scorpio. This is not about beating yourself up over something that happened, or having a serious case of the "would'a, could'a, should'a" syndrome. It's about taking an objective look at the situation by putting yourself back in it, and trying to gain insight into why you chose to do what you did, or how things may have turned out had you acted differently. This will more often than not give you a clear answer as to how to deal with a similar situation in the future.

Scorpio Love Horoscope
Dear Scorpio, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. There will be an invitation coming your way today that will be the most unexpected but pleasant surprise. This may involve a short trip for you and will deepen your involvement with someone that you have been thinking about a lot. The groundwork that you have been laying with this person is in good shape to pave the way for something long lasting. While you are waiting for this opportunity, don't bite off more than you can chew in other areas or you will find you simply won't have time for that which you truly desire.
