Some stuff

Just some random update-type story things:

~My sister will not be having a baby by inducement this week. They have decide that they will wait until baby Haack #2 decides to arrive on her own.
~Jennica and I are now officially running and lifting. We did both arms and legs last week, along with a couple miles of running, and today ran even farther than usual. If only I could stay away from the grape soda I might see a change.
~I'm in this class where our whole semester is devoted to producing, choreographing, and dancing this one long piece. Today we had our first day of improv to get some movement ideas. This kid in my class is really into non-traditional partnering, and I'm one of his favorite test subjects. So I'm just stading there listening to the music and he runs up and the next thing I know I'm upside down spinning around over his shoulder. Though it was one of the coolest moves I've seen or done in a while, we had a lot of trouble replicating it. Thankfully, we then found a video camera so we could catch cool moments in the future. Later in the improv session, we were working together and he turns himself over and suddenly I've got him completely upside down in the air supported by only little old me. Where I suddenly achieved the strength to lift this 6ft muscular man I have no idea, but it was really cool. We also managed, as a class, to get a girl standing on 2 people's shoulders (this guy and I), and then have her leap off into the other's arms. Sweet stuff.
~I've been crocheting like a mad person lately (I gotta do something with my free time), and I've already finished a baby blanket for one of my siblings kids that are arriving this spring (two new ones, on top of Julie's, sweet!). It's in pretty gender neutral colors, and is cute, and I pretty much invented the design from a picture I saw. It's nice, and cute, and was fun to make. Hopefully the other one will turn out as nice. I just have to start it...
~I learned how to take blood pressures in lab last week, so now I feel like a real student of a health profession. It's really neat.

Randomness = fun :-)
