Hooray! I got a good score. Solid. Not as good as I wanted, but I have pretty high expectations for myself.... I did Reformer, a Mat class and and Arm Weights class, plus some other pieces of equipment.
Thanks to everyone for their prayers and well-wishes. Chris was especially great. I came home to flowers, a card and champagne.

Progress Report
I am getting ready for my Intermediate Practical. It will be on Tuesday. I will have to teach someone the intermediate exercises on the Reformer, an intermediate Mat Class, and whatever else they ask me. I feel pretty prepared, but nerves can make a lot of things go wrong. I will post on my way home on Tuesday night to let everyone know how it went.
After this practical, I have my Intermediate Written on Jan 9th. Then I will have to do my Advanced Practical and Written. I hope to be done by March. We shall see how it goes!

Hiatus
For most of the time between now and Election day my blogging will take place at:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/nicoledecides
Yup, that's right folks. I will be voting for Barack Obama in November. It has taken a lot of soul-searching, researching and questioning, but that's what I have decided. For awhile, I was doing so grudgingly, and at the same time considering not voting at all. But, I now feel pretty strongly about it. For a fairly short version of my story, it's the first post on the new blog. It's much longer than that, but that's not what blogs are for. If you need more info, let me know, I will be more than willing to share.
What I will not be willing to do is: argue, yell, name-call, listen to people doing any of those things. The world is mean and nasty enough without willingly subjecting yourself to it.

City Girl
I think I have officially become a city girl. Well, maybe not, since I live in the 'burbs. And spent some time last weekend on a 4-wheeler in the woods. But I am definitely more citified than I ever imaged.
Examples:
1. I take public transit everyday.
2. I have a public transit pass...for 2 cities, Philly and NYC.
3. I have taken the New York subway by myself twice now, and both time got on the correct train and ended up where I wanted to be.
4. I walked in Central Park today.
5a. I know that Philly has a Northeast, Northern Libs, Center City (NOT downtown), University City, Old City, Society Hill, West Philly and South Philly.
5b. New York is Uptown, Mid-town, Downtown, and then all the neighborhoods.
6. I don't like places without streetlights at night.
7. I don't carry a purse (and typically not even a wallet), I carry a backpack.
8. I don't think 20 blocks is a long walk. I wouldn't do it every day, but it is totally do-able.
9. I don't wear heels anymore; sneakers are my shoe of choice.
10. I do not think every time I go into the city "I hope I don't get mugged." I'm pretty sure if anyone tried I could run them down, because my giant bag is so heavy. Or they would be very disappointed by my lack of wallet.
