Enjoy Yourself

...an excerpt--I think in the wrong order!

Enjoy yourself,

It's later than you think.

Enjoy yourself,

While you're still in the pink.

The years go by,

As quickly as a wink.

Enjoy yourself,

Enjoy yourself,

It's later than you think.

You're gonna take that two-week trip,

No matter come what may.

But every year you put it off,

You just can't get away.

Next year for sure you'll hit the road,

You'll really get a-round !
But how far can you travel
When you're six feet underground. [hey!]

You work and work,

For years and years.

You're always on the go.

You never take a minute off,

Too busy makin' dough.

Someday you say you'll have your fun,

When you're a millionaire.

Imagine all the fun you'll have

In your old rockin' chair.

Enjoy yourself,

It's later than you think.

Enjoy yourself,

While you're still in the pink.

The years go by,

As quickly as a wink.

Enjoy yourself,

Enjoy yourself,

It's later than you think.

fun-filled evening

the coolest, and the warmest, laid-back and sincere...with the best weather imaginable...dave and dacy's wedding was the funnest wedding i've attended!  was having so much fun i forgot to take pictures til late!
chris carson did a wonderful job officiating!
(for some reason all my pictures are of lovebirds, but the first two are the New Marrieds)

breakfast w/shawn

first watch!
chink chickichangas with shawn = summer/opera season

other people's summer memories

..in ITALY.  why did i never go to spoleto?? why why why
"egyptian rat screw"  (card game including lots of slapping--of hands) is really part of my summer music camp memories---meadowmount, pacific music festival.  probably even aspen, i'm not sure but i went there for like 7 summers or something.  taos was just endless scrabble---so fun.

i think this was taken ten years ago.  apparently they are playing egyptian ratscrew.. in italy. shawn, now in st louis symphony avec moi is on the left; i don't know the next guy; davin (!) has a goatee! haha; next is florence leblond, cellist, who was my neighbor at yale; then mark inouye (whose facebook album i stole this from) who is HILARIOUS cokeaholic (the drink, not the drug) who can do lots of neat-o tricks and oh is also principal trumpet of San Francisco Symphony.

passing cute

shawn and i were at a long stop light on kingshighway and we had this brief but excellent exchange with this cutey in the next car.  me=making as many funny faces that are in my limited rep.; shawn=waving like a loony; cute boy=waving and just being so darn cute.  ah, it's the little things in life, eh? unexpected and beauteous.

the perfect squat, a work of art

thing of beauty forever (ninja)

(here's the advanced:)

this, not so much:

FREAKY-DEAKY!

kelley pointing out unbecoming man-panties! eww

 the gym was fun today. and MY NECK DOESN'T HURT (miracle!)...  i was scared all day because i've been off the wagon since xmas.  nervous all day about going.  but it's good, even if it's not much, just to do a workout with andrew--he's so organized and perfectionistic. he's even got those old-people pill containers with his vitamins/supplements; i only saw one, but kelley says he has one for each day of the week all lined up at home.  he and kelley are doing 3 workouts a day! in preparation for the CROSSFIT GAMES qualifier next month.  he's apparently even dreaming crossfit workouts.  i love hearing about the workouts and eating cheat-free zone meals---so inspiring! i just got "A Week in the Zone" but haven't started yet.  i had two sips of this "OH YEAH" chocolate drink (32g protein) and that was about enough.  something silty about it.  (32 grams of protein?? yes, not a typo). my workout today was:

500m row

40 squats

30 sit-ups (andrew standing on my feet, only way i can do it)

20 push-ups ("push-ups"- holding weights and girl-style)

20 1-arm rows w/ 15lb weight, each arm (can barely do this--sad)

500m row

have to start somewhere.  lisa 2.0 flamed out awhile back. i'm starting again, lisa 3.0--who is going to run on the treadmill tomorrow.  and try to eat more regularly and more zone-y.  except that i'm going to temptation-ville (brasserie/niche) tonight--i've never been (they just opened across the street) but at niche (the original, in benton park) they always have delicious vegetables that normally i would be a baby about (turnips, Brussel sprouts, beets---delish) but love eating there...
oh here's shawn coming out of our Administrative Service earlier-- random shot o'the day!

guess who he's calling? betcha her name is lisa, her last name starts with 'c' (and it ain't me!)
