Huzzah!!!



In my best Lord Percy Percy impression: "Hey nonny NONNY m'Lord!!"

Songs for today:


Simple Minds - "Alive and Kicking"

Gloria Gaynor - "I Will Survive"

Though I prefer this version.


After passing out on the couch while ostensibly watching Monty P's Holy Grail with the kids, I have enough strength for a brief update. Our test ran 2 hours and 45 mins. We kicked for about an hour and a half of that - front leg kicks, rear leg kicks, block-punch-kick combos, combination pulling-step kicks, 3 step kicks - it's all kind of a blur. Your support certainly helped to keep me going! I am thrilled to have my new belt. And to not have to test again for 6 months, LOL!

w00t!

Next stop, learn the Drunken fighter moves! To celebrate here's a remix of one of my fave Naruto episodes, where Taijutsu specialist Rock Lee gets drunk my mistake, and turns out to be a natural...

Logo - My dh naps through that one a lot, too, LOL! And thank you!! :-)

Fal - Thanks! That is really reminiscent of the Jackie Chan Drunken Master stuff. :-)

Congrats to you! How long have you been at this? Do you ever take a break? Go go go... I'm jealous of your vivaciousness.

Very cool. Congratulations! Was there ever any doubt? Not among your readers....

I Will Survive - personally I like the Cake version from Fashion Nugget.

Toby - Thanks! I did it for a while as a teen and wasn't able to do it again until we moved here, so I started over to be on track with dh. It's been almost 2.5 years since we started.

So far I have no desire to take a break, LOL! It's fantastic exercise but also FUN, and there are a lot of REALLY good people at the gym. It's like having extended family, which is great considering we are transplants here. :-)

Thanks TG! Whew, during my test yesterday at one point all I could think was "I'm really not looking forward to testing for black." LOL! But I have about 15 months before that happens.

I'm going ot have to look up the Cake version. Never saw that one. :-)

Thanks TSmom. I don't think I have any laurels left, LOL!

P - Thank you, too. I figured you were busy with your film. How's it going?
