I got a little more sleep this weekend than I have in the past.

I need to get one of those wrist rest things for when I�m working at this computer. Right now, my wrists are getting cut into by the desk. Soon people will see my wrists all red and raw and think, �Gee, she�s got some emotional problems.:� But in reality, I�m addicted to my computer and too lazy to get a wrist thing. It�s the same with my bruises.

Boxing is going great. Although, I�m bruising a bit on my arms. And, it's not from something cool like getting hit. Oh no, it's my gloves hurting my arms... but that'll go away, I'm sure. However, the bruises aren't really a bad thing. It�s almost a mark of pride� �Hey lady, where�d ya get that big ol� bruise there?� �Boxing,� I coyly reply. �Wow, you�re cool.� That�s how the conversation would go. Or rather, should go. Really, I think it would go more like �Hey lady, where�d ya get that big ol� bruise there?� �Boxing,� I coyly reply. �Wow, you�re really stupid. You mean you actually hit people, and let them hit you in return, for fun?� That�s how my mom looks at it anyway. She�s somewhat upset at this concept. And, no matter how much I tell her it�s just for fitness and I�m just a beginner, she still knows that deep down inside, I really do want to fight for sport. I�m so not ready yet, though. I still have a long way, fitness-wise, to go before I�m ready to get in the ring. And, boxing for a month does not a fighter make! But, you know moms�

I got new shoes. I�m really happy with me new shoes. Or, more to the point, I�m really happy with my new insoles. I usually get plain old arch supports for my shoes. But, this time I got Triad supports. These babies have an arch support, and heal and ball pads so you get less of an impact. I so love them. It�s like having flubber in your shoes, I literally bounce. (okay, I�m probably not literally bouncing, but I sure do feel like it.) I�d be a Triad testimonial person in a second� Not that they�d want my testimony to their product. I think perhaps they�d like a somewhat well known athlete�s testimonial instead. Mine would go something like this� Announcer: �Marla, boxer of one month and communications specialist, says of Triad supports�� then I come on all athletically-like, saying, �Triads got me to the point I am today! It�s like having flubber in my shoes�� Because, ya know, it�s important for a boxer of one month and a communications specialist to have good support in her feet� Really, it is.

Well, as I seem to have gotten silly somewhere along the line, I�m going to shut up now�
