holy geez, almost 10 weeks already.
We had some trouble last week, but thanks to some extra progesterone, things seem to have gotten back to normal. YIPPEE!
HOly cow..it is REALLY twins!
I forget every couple of hours and then I remember again. We checked out a bunch of books from the library about twins, but mostly all they have to say is how you will be tired and worn out. Big surprise!
anyhow, it is fun watching them float around on the cartoon baby-brine thingy on my blog.
babies are WEIRD!

I'm leaving on a jet plane.....
fortunately I DO know when I'll be back again!
In about 12 hours I will be heading to the airport for my BUDOKON teacher training weekend.
I'll be staying at the Best Western near the DCA airport and will arrive a little after 2 pm Milwaukee time.
I haven't been on a trip by myself in over 8 years.
holy crap how things change!
When I was a kid (about 9 or 10) I would hop on a plane by MYSELF and head to Mexico to visit relatives for a summer, or for Xmas holiday break. I think I am actually more anxious now than I was nearly 25 years ago!
Sure, I know I will be fine, I'm not fearful of air travel or of big cities (heck, i moved to Mexico City by myself when I was only 18!), but I guess I am so darn used to being with my little messerman-clan that I will feel a bit strange out there alone in the world!
Yikes, I already miss them!
Oh, sure, it will be fun to "get away" and "have some alone time" as moms and dads say. Phooey! I've found I can "be alone" in a crowded room, if I put my mind to it.
Besides, what the hell is my little corn-dog going to do without me? That dog has needs! (okay, I love him like crazy, I admit it)
So, off I go to the BIG CITY. Wish me luck!
talk to you cats next week!
p.s.
feel free to call my celly while I'm gone!
p.p.s.
feel free to check in on my hubby...he's a nut like me and we will be missing each other like annoyingly-sweet high school sweethearts.
kinda makes ya wanna puke, don't it?

I miss the bagely-pagels....ALREADY!
Well, I thought that perhaps seeing our good friends the pagels 2 weeks ago would be enough pageltime.
Nope.
I miss them already!
I have never been so at ease with pair of friends such as them.
They call, give us an estimated arrival time and they just show up whenever.
i love it. Usually if people are coming from outta town for a visit, I get sorta bent outta shape and worry about getting the house cleaned up, preparing food, etc.
Not so with my pagel friends.
I guess it would sorta be like if your brother or sister were coming over, except I don't really have any idea what that is like. I just sorta let them in the house and tell them where the food is and let 'em roam all over the house and do whatever they want to.
They just hang out with me and we chat.
I hope it was not too boring for them, but I will guess that they feel about the same about us as we do about them?
Anyhow, Mel hung out for a purse party, we dumped ALL the kids off at the YMCA for a good 3 hour shift, and Jeff and Greg chilled out in Grafton and talked cartoons and other stuff.
It was awesome.
I sure wish they would buy the house next door to us. Would it get weird? would we get sick of each other? I don't think so.
So, put your house on the market, buy my neighbor's house and move in next fall. It will be a big compound and we will put up a fence so we can let the kids run wild. We could call it "Pagelman field" or "Messergel glen"
the pagels are the BEST!

I am officailly a purple people eater!
Okay, I don't really eat people, but i am now OFFICIALLY a Purple belt in TKD. How schwweeet is that?!
Holy geez, I am so close to black belt, baby! (high purple.....brown.....high brown....BLACK!)
Well, it was pretty awesome getting my belt today, but it definitely seems to put a little more pressure on to perform at my best. You can't just kick sloppy-style and not expect to hear about it.
I will have my black belt by December.
WOW.
I had been in kung fu off and on for over 10 years, but never got this close to black belt.
Now I am a mere week away from going on my little adventure to DC with Budokon. I am really looking forward to it.
Although I love going to TKD, there are definitely times that i miss a calmer, more meditative method that kung fu embraces. Now I will get to have all my favorites together....yoga, martial arts, and zen meditation.
Alright, enough about me....how are you?
leave me a comment and let me know what you are doing with your life these days. What are you proud of? What are you working on right now? How are you feeling?
goodnight friends! peace and respect,
miffy.
P.s. a special thanks to my sweet smelly, prickly hubby. Without his support and positive attitude, I am sure I would never have gotten so far. He is really great to let me take this time to do TKD....he is NOT going now so that I may go.
you are awesome Furg!. Smootchy smootch.
