A while back I mentioned I got a coaching gig just for this month and it has been going wonderfully, kind of sad that the program is ending this week. In all we’ve only had 1 troubled school out of 12, well its more some of kids rather make it not fun for everyone as they are acting out and rather be at school then there since they don’t know how to paddle or get wet. Gotta love pre-teens/teenagers as this program is for grade 5-12.

I’ve kind of gotten use to having sea legs, as I mentioned above its 12 schools a week spread out though the week but for Wednesday there are 2 schools in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, then I gotta head over to where I normally coach out of (30 minutes away on the highway) coach then head to my practice. I leave the house at 8AM and don’t get home until close to 10PM.

Been offered to coach at that paddling center this summer BUT I don’t kayak so I turned it down though depending on what I’m doing next spring I might be one of the coaches again for this program again. From all this coaching/being on the water with my team, I’ve gotten a lot darker then my normal May tan. I don’t think I’ve been this tan since I was 10 years old :sunburnt2:

Paddling~Geek.Net has been around for 5 years next month. I’m thinking of ways to celebrate it, not 100% sure yet but I’m thinking maybe having a contest of some sort. More details mid June

Whoa, this has been the first day since I last posted that I’ve been online for more then a few minutes to check my emails as I’ve been working none stop… Anyways I found a place a nice quiet place. I really do like it even though its mostly an open floor plan (not much of a fan of them but oh well), I think the bathroom was an after thought when they were building the place. The shower stall is very small for my comfort. So I’m hoping before the end of the year to change the shower into a walk in shower since there a lot of empty wasted space in that bathroom.

Furniture shopping for this new place will be fun since I’ve always had to share a place with someone it wasn’t always everyones choice in furniture or what not. Now its all mine muhahaha. Once I move into the place, I’ll be hitting up some of the second hand stores as well other furniture stores to see what they all have and what can I get for a good deal that would work for the common area (living/dining/galley kitchen area).

I’m narked though, months back I saw in target and also in sears a bedding style I like, blue/green plaid and now when I have the chance to get it of course neither store are selling it anymore. If I knew I was gonna be moving months ago, I would have purchased the king size bedding that I need for the bedroom suite that been in my family now for 5 generations. But of course who thinks of that? Yesterday after work I was in a weird surfing mood and found two nice plaid print bedding on jcpenny’s and kohls website which means I gotta go state side but whatever (my two homes away from home Seattle and Indianapolis) or take a blind leap and order the bedding I saw from Scotland but its flannel, I’d rather have flannel pj bottoms then bedsheets. Its really hard to find plaid bedding in either blue/green or either a nice solid colour blue or green these days.. ugh

For all you moms out there have a great Mothers Day
