where does peperoni muscle come from?

lots? going on. back at work after a few weeks off for the holidays. it was glorious! plus it was great to get in some exercise every day, even heading out for some mtn biking in the snow and 19 degrees - burr!! my water bottle had ice in it by the time we were done.
for new years the kids went to grandmas and eric and i realized we are boring. we had no idea what to do withour selves. so we went to a fancy bar down town. i had to keep my puffy coat on the whole time despite being somewhat warm, which is unusual, but i had to keep it on because yes, i left the house with the top half of my house uniform hidden under my coat and i didn't want to expose that to the fancy bar. we had a few drinks, some totally delish fries with blue cheese fondue and then headed home to get dressed to go out for dinner. i was psyched to wear my new snakeskin print pants and tall boots, and have the fantasy hair out in full glory. unfortunatly the resturant was FREEZING, but the food was good and we had a great time despite there being no hard liquor there (WTF???) and we were forced to drink wine instead. we were home before the new year hit, and actually missed it. we were awake at least this time, but missed it and were like, oh, ok.
monday i went back to work, and it was good. the whole week went quickly, and I got back on the training horse. i did some swimming, concentrating on the drills i learned over the break, lifted some weights, skipped some rope - and OMG that is really hard and wow, its a good way to tell where you have extra fat on yer body. :( now I know. i did some running on the treadmill, even some in just my socks. that was interesting. then i did some other things and then finished up with work and blah blah blah and stuff and stuff.
on to sirus. he is so sweet. he is a funny silly little boy. when he was packing to go to grandmas i asked him if he was going to take his bear Sirus Wirus. He said that daddy said he could only take one toy and he wanted to take his new sack person. i told him he could take the sack person and Sirus Wirus, and he said no. I asked wouldn't he get lonely without Sirus Wirus? And he said no, I will hold his memory in my heart.
this morning we had an interesting conversation. eric made the kids ham and eggs for breakfast. sirus started to get upset because seamus told him that the ham was really muscle. he said no it wasn't and well, yes it is. then we had to tell him that that is what meat is. and he got really upset, and on the verge of tears and said what? meat is muscle? and just on and on, oh no! so we had to explain where all the meat came from, and, wow, hot dogs and chicken nuggets are muscle, too (sorta). he was not pleased.

It is rather gross to think about meat being muscle. Perhaps he will become a vegetarian now.

Jump roping kicks ass. I had that in my plan for a while last year, and this is what it told me:
a) i was in better shape when i was a kid
b) my gut is flabby
c) boobs are annoying

Happy training!
