Whatever today is

i climbed. i took the children with me. Steph met me there, and she lasted nearly 10 minutes before she took Aeon and the babe out carward. The upshot was that it left me with Annie to work some plastic. i came mighty close to flashing a "v7" (that'll actually go at prob'ly v5). Funny li'l problem. Sorta hard, but solid moves up to this stopper crimp move. Weirdest thing: i worked through the bottom bit and went for that crimp thinking there was no way i was gonna stick it, (cuz i watched the co-owner of the gym--this wirey li'l dude that FAs hard 5.13--squidge off of it liek 3 times and give up), but i latched it and thought Oh yeah! that's juicy but then you have to let go with yer other hand and match next to it with a high heel hook for a foot, and it's like, yeah, maybe when i get stronger hands.

But Annie was having some fun. we put together this tenuous li'l body-tension-to-a-dyno problem, and she got into it big. She's gonna be a sick boulderer if she'll stick with it. She's got the attention span of a gnat usually, but after she fell off a few times she got more and more focussed, and she started flowing through the weird bottom moves that she'd floundered on half-assed at first. Then she worked out a heel hook/mantle solution to this huge reach, and she nearly got the goal. i wanna take her back and see if she'll put it together.

Then we went and sold the Rav4 and finalized the buy on a van. Practical ride, but i fully feel like a woman now. i'm gunna get one of those soccer ball decals, and stick-figure stickers of all the kids for the back window. i think i just need to get a damn job so Steph cna quit and be the mommy.

Just put Petzl stickers and peace signs all over it. For some reason hippy climbing vans are way cooler than soccer mom vans.

'S'true. Maybe a bunch of skulls or something. Skulls are manly for some reason.
