been doing a lot of sorting and throwing out. Jonah, Jim and Mark rearranged the office and extra bedroom and so the house was complete chaos yesterday. I have been sorting through the shrapnel and taking care of household details. The guys did a great job on getting the rooms sorted. And now we have loads of room for our office. And I think having the guest room in the smaller room is nicer too, more cozy.

Been trying to decide how much effort I really want to put into voice lessons. I could really use a piano and a place to have the lessons. Also some more resources would be helpful. But all of this costs money and time sooo...is it worth the effort and money??

Did a ballet workout yesterday that kicked my butt. I can tell it was really good for me. I look forward to doing it more.

Did I mention I had been asking God for a cheap or free exercise bike. Saw one in my friend Gloria's garden collecting dust and asked her about it. She said I could borrow it indefinately...how cool is that. Any opportunity to incorporate more exercize into my life is a positive thing.

Today I think getting the house sorted was exercize enough.
