In the news... If you're curious to see where I workout, check out this article. Both the Crossfit gym where I started with Nichole and where I now work with her are featured. The new place, as I've mentioned before, is pretty hardcore. Though based on what I want to use Crossfit for, improving my climbing, the third gym in town might be a better fit. There is a video if you click on the link for the killer WOD they did on Friday. The clip features the woman climber from the climbing forum I mentioned in my Saturday post. She is the one in the blue top and black pants. Talk about being in amazing shape!
A proud mommy boast... On the way home from Crossfit kids yesterday, I had to call the Climbing Cutie. He's the only one I know who could appreciate my oldest not only learning, but doing double-unders on her first day trying them. A double under is jump roping where you bring the rope around twice before you hit the ground. You have to jump high and turn fast. She was determined to do it and did! I'm so proud of her!
Hubby update... He was at a dinner last night when a tornado warning was issued. On the drive back to the hotel, the shuttle got hit with marble sized hail and driving rain. He didn't see a tornado though.
Getting excited... The following movie has been on our must-see list since we heard they were filming it and opens tomorrow.
The kids have Irish Dance feis so we can't see it this weekend, but as soon as we have a block of free time we're there! This is one movie the kidlets and I want to see in the theater. What about you?

I just watched the video from the article. oh my, now I know the kind of activities you do. Jumping up on that thing looks scary.
I would have been scared if I was out on the road during a tornado.
Kewl about oldest.
Next week is the movie that I want to see: Indiana Jones.
Don't wait too long for the movies, they don't keep them in the theaters as long as they used to.
Have a good Thursday.
I haven't read the Narnia books in a long time, but I remember really enjoying Prince Caspian. I'm really excited the movie is coming out Friday, but unfortunately none of my other friends are as excited :P. I'm hoping I can convince a few to go see it :). Have a great day, Melissa!
Glad your husband is okay. The weather her has been crazy! We have been fortunate so far, though! I am not a big movie theater person! If my husband wants to go,I will keep him company. Cindi

We're saving all our kid flicks for our trip to SoCal. We go to a lot of movies with my mom.
Glad Hubby is okay.
Yay for oldest doing the double-unders. I remember when the boys had to learn those for gymnastics warm-ups. they are not easy.
Tornadoes. The bane of my existence. *sigh* I'm glad your DH is okay.
I want to see Prince Caspian and the new Indiana Jones movie. Not that I'll see either of them in the theater.
Wow! You really are working hard on the crossfit!
Glad to hear your hubby is okay.
How nice for oldest! WTG!
Have a good day!
Dru - the box scares me. That's why I said I wanted to step up after giving jumping a shot. And I want to see Indy, too. I still remember when the first one came out and seeing it in the theater!
Limecello - I hope you find someone to go, but if not go by yourself! I used to do that all the time and really enjoyed it!
Windycindy - we're the opposite. I could go to the movies every day. My hubby hates going. So we save it for those movies I am dying to see on the big screen or I go without him.
Amy - sounds like a fun time with your mom and sitting in a theater is a good way to stay cool with the So. Cal temps.
Tori - I thought about you when hubby was talking to me over the phone!
Brandy - Crossfit is hard work, but it's good work. And you really feel and see a difference quickly.
I'm looking forward to Narnia and Indiana Jones. We rarely go to the movies in the summer so I'll probably have to wait until it comes out on DVD.
Best part about homeschooling (well, maybe not the BEST, but a perk) is that we can see a movie midweek and miss the rush. We have "Prince Caspian" on the list for Wednesday. I think I'm more excited than DD is! LOL...
Indy is scheduled for a date night with the hubs.
Cool info on the gym. I'm tired just reading it. I think I need to lie down...
I'm so psyched to see this but we're going to wait until mid-week next week. We'll go in the afternoon, when the theater is almost empty. Really nice not to have to fight crowds, and I'm not the tallest person in the world so I don't mind not having to peek around someone's head.
Oh my gosh, I am pooped just looking at what you do! And I thought I was Wonder Woman (LOL!) cycling and taking a daily walk. Yes, I have begun exercising again. Thanks for the much-needed nudge, Melissa. :)
I wish I could also sit in a theater!
My week-end... here it is a long week-end, where I will try to go out and enjoy the nice weather :)
