Isn&#8217;t it pretty?<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, I trained with Brittany a bit before class, then had a great private lesson with John, and then great MMA team practice.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve spent my entire MMA career in a country with group coaching, struggling  for attention, so I&#8217;m thrilled someone gives a crap whether or not I show up to practice. I&#8217;m blessed to have people who offer to come in early to train and drill with me. And I&#8217;m happy to help other people learn.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch I did chores, wrote some of my new book, and was very productive in general.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Monday morning, I suddenly found out that a father of a student of mine gave me two tickets to a Blueman concert!  I turned to the first friend in the vicinity, who happened to be Brittany &#8211; and invited her.  We went together!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/blueman-concert1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/blueman-concert1.jpg\" alt=\"blueman concert1\" width=\"367\" height=\"490\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The whole thing was really random.

I LOVED it!  I laughed SO hard when they took that lady from the audience and forced her to eat Twinkies. XD<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, I was so excited for sparring class.  Unfortunately I felt crappy and unwell, and took the rest of the day off.  That really sucked. -_-  grrr.  I feel better today, though. <\/p>\n<p>I spent the evening finishing the TV series &#8220;Flash Forward.&#8221;  Man, I love that series so much!  Too bad it got canceled before the second season could air. \ud83d\ude41 I read the book so I can just accept the ending of the book, but man. I wanted to know what happened to the TV characters. I think the actors are also really good.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I woke up feeling exhausted but not bad like yesterday.  Did a private lesson, learned a new punch I will lovingly call &#8220;POW&#8221; until we come up with a better name, then hung out with Heather.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/heather-roxy-ice-cream.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/heather-roxy-ice-cream.jpg\" alt=\"heather roxy ice cream\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4187\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p> Then taught a kids class.  <\/p>\n<p>I tried to teach arm drags, but &#8230;.FIRST OF ALL, it took then like TEN MINUTES to get into a straight line. omggggg When I was teaching my Japanese preschoolers, all I had to do was shout &#8220;Okay, make a line!&#8221; They would rush, and under 10 seconds, they&#8217;d all be standing in a straight line.  I had to not just point, but literally grab my American kids today and place in them in a line, which they wandered out of, so by the time I was finished, the first pair were all off to once side, playing on the cage. X_X;;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe 50% of them got it. :\/ I was glad at least Rhyanna and Christian and Tommy got it, because they&#8217;re upper belts and will be competing soon. Ah well. I took a chance to teach it.<\/p>\n<p>I did some leg and core conditioning stuff.<\/p>\n<p>THEN I went home, ate, went back to the gym for my chiropractic appointment with Jake Steckel .  I waited and waited and then&#8230;.realized that my appointment was for Thursday.  GOSH DARNIT >_<  Rrrrrrr! My mistake. ;_; I need his magic......\n\nSo I decided to go ahead and spend that Macy's gift card I got from a friend. I drove to a mall, and found this nice shirt! :D I never buy nice clothes for myself. I don't really go out..... I have like 3 nice tops that don't look like my mother lent them to me. Now I have four. hahaha  \n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/roxy-new-shirt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/roxy-new-shirt-254x300.jpg\" alt=\"roxy new shirt\" width=\"254\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4185\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I noticed Macy&#8217;s was attached to a mall, so I walked around a bit.   I happened to be walking by Hot Topic with a box of T shirts that said &#8220;BIG SALE.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I do NOT need more T shirts&#8230;but&#8230;you never know what jewels Hot Topic will hold. Like that DBZ T shirt that says &#8220;Just saiyan!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I found this Power Ranger&#8217;s Dragonzord shirt in Extra small! Too small! DAMNIT. ;.;  But then the staff lady helped me find a medium, and it was only $9.99&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dragonzord-t-shirt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dragonzord-t-shirt.jpg\" alt=\"dragonzord t shirt\" width=\"294\" height=\"392\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4186\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n;_;  Oh yeah.
