Swimming Lessons!

Okay..so here it is..the beginning of the blended blog I talked about. ( The Life I Choose and The Black Horse Cafe together in one place.) Now, the Black Horse Cafe is not just recipes...but also chatter and the odd retail jewelery thing for sale. Let's see how this works out!

This week I started taking Kiernan for "Mommy and Me" swimming lessons. Yep, I did. And while Kiernan is LOVING the whole experience, right down to his overwhelming JOY that he gets to wear his "wimmin' suit", I have to say I am a bit more subdued. Yes, the lessons are great, it's FUN to get in the pool with Kiernan and watch him do amazing things....but all that is sort of diminished because....I have to wear a "wimmin' suit". And I am not joyful about it at all. Because, sad as it is...ummm...after giving birth to my two wonderful children, let's just say that parts of my body that started out in a northern country of origin have now moved SOUTH. Way south. Like to Cuba south. And that doesn't even cover the fact that many of those country body parts have grown. A lot. It is a frightening fact. Frightening enough that the old Beachbody DVD's have been fired up and I have been motivated to actually exercise...because really...side boob is not my friend! Nor anybody's for that matter!

So, in the spirit of trying to reduce afore-mentioned "side boobage"...here's a link to Makeshift Meals, for some awesome looking vegetable soup. I'm making some today!
