Nosy parentage

We all love our parents. The good bad and ugly. They are still our parents and we really can't not love them. Myself included. I love my parents but that does not negate the fact that some times I want punch them in the arm with anger.

One thing I have always struggled with especially now in full adult mode was
Having an adult relationship with my parents. Maybe my struggle occurs because I've spent 4 of my 7 yrs post college living under their roof. I mean then they are sort of entitled to know more then the basics like the occasional I'm alive, works good, I'm single, I'm not single sort of basic details. But since I've come and gone so many times... Or 3. But that's alot we haven't had much of a chance to figure out how to relate to each other as grown ups.

Consequently I still have a parent that gets almost offended if I dont tell them stuff. But by the same token. I'm. A grown up I don't have to. There are certain basic things that they need to know but the line is a lot sooner then the parentals think and consequently
I get the constant . " you don't tell me stuff" bull shit. Maybe I don't tell you stuff because I dont want to have a three hour conversation about what. You think I should do about it, and how you feel about it. And sometimes I dont tell you stuff because the grand total of my day was "I watched projected runway " I mean sometimes the inane details are just that and I just don't care.

It's definitely a work in progress and there is not really a resolution in sight but now that the birdie has left the nest never to return I need to start majorly working on it.

Long time

So I'm Alive!!!! I've been super busy this month with all sorts of stuff. I have officially been a yoga assistant at Prana in Cambridge. I have really enjoyed it so far and I find it a great way go on Friday nights. I purposely picked a class on Fridays because to thought it would be a much easier way to make sure that I practiced on Fridays which I like to do anyway.

I've also been going to crossfit Boston regularly twice a week. I totally have noticed a difference even in this short of time. I still need to add some more running because I want to get ready to do the princess half marathon. So I'm definitely going to be even more busy.. But it's all good.

Now back go to project runway

Something scary

Its been a busy time lately.  I feel like I barely sit down any more but that's not exactly a bad thing.  Though this week after Monday crossfit, I think my legs decided to go on strike.  I barely could bend for three days... oops.  Hopefully this week will be better.  I mean I'm all a fan of pushing myself but the goal is not to do it so bad that I'm incapacitated for almost a week.  Fortunately I'm all better for the most part today, so I'm going to go and do another partner WOD at 11... hopefully I can walk at the end of it :)

Today my plan is also to do something scary... hello bassoon...nice to see you after almost two years.. But I've actually been missing it.  I realized that I am such a bassoon player is so many ways because I appreciate things like
I mean this sort of thing is exactly what bassoonist are like.  Lets get together and play something silly for bassoon quartet. I mean.  Its nice to be associated with a group of people that as a collective don't seem to always take themselves seriously.  Which is me.  So i'm going to pick up my bassoon for the first time in a LONG  time today.  Wish me luck :)

Nashvilled up

Nashville and seeing the E family was wonderful. Once the travel was underway it was relatively uneventful and I was met by T at the airport in Nashville. Because baby E had to go to bed so S was on bedtime duty.

Anyways, we drove back to their place and chatted with S for a little while. Before bed. T and I played street fighter for awhile and definitely had a blast from the past moment.

The next day we relaxed through the morning while the baby played and then we made our way to the jack Daniel's distillery. Which was really neat. The science geek in me really liked it. It did smelly kind of funny, but the fact they make JD with water fro this one spring in TN is kind of cool.

After that we got ice cream :) yes please and a good thing to do after spending the day in the hot TN sun Though it wasn't as hot as it. Could have been.

The next day we went to church. Yep church. It was good to have some god time and reminded me that I need to get back go church / find a church closer to Cambridge. Cause getting out to Wellesley may or may not happen regularly. And it might be nice to go to a church where people don't all know about the cancer. Not that's its a bad thing, but sometimes I don't want the big doe eyes of how are you.

Anyways I digress. After church we had lunch and went to cheek-wood botanical gardens. They had an exhibit of tree houses. It was really cool. They had a tree for Walden, the hobbit an lord of the flies.... To name a few. It was super cool, until it started to rain. We all loaded into the car and headed home, by way of aopi headquarters. Which was fun to drive by. Just a building though.

We had a lovely evening at home involving 5 guys burgers. And T cut
The grass.

I woke up the next day and travelled home. Which was equally uneventful. And the two hour layover wasn't even too bad. Thank goodness for books and iPhones :)

All In all, wonderful trip, wonderful weekend and wonderful awesome people:)
