Then the staff make up scenarios and take pictures. Then the next day the kids come back and watch a slide show of what their animals did. G's animal did a lot of reading LOL, and some sneaking around. Followed by juice and bagels. Too fun.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248293979879390754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-4560576125416443672012-01-06T21:01:29.385-05:002012-01-06T21:01:29.385-05:00The mental image of you doing kickboxing in a base...The mental image of you doing kickboxing in a basement fills me with joy for some reason.

I never had the courage to try kick-boxing but I desperately hope that my body will remember a number of things once I can finally find my way back to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-52519244290940591882012-01-06T14:01:32.562-05:002012-01-06T14:01:32.562-05:00Good for you for pushing yourself out there!

And yet, I know, when I start again (on my list of resolutions) it will come back to me in a thrilling way. Thank goodness.<br /><br />Kickboxing is impressive! Glad you have the outlet, and glad N was happy at the Child Watch. You're right - not a bad thing for both of you.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-86152417557112146172012-01-06T02:18:32.056-05:002012-01-06T02:18:32.056-05:00I love the idea of hibernation day.

I feel it when I swim, as my body reverts back to the same exact strokes that it repeated over and over again for years (and that ultimately ruined my shoulders). I don't think I could relearn those strokes ever.<br /><br />Lately I've been playing piano again at my parents' house, relearning a song I used to know by heart. (I always played what I learned by heart - I was a terrible site reader.) I've been noticing as I relearn that at first it's really hard and I struggle and struggle and then suddenly something clicks and my fingers remember and it just happens without me even thinking about it - I glide over sections that before I could barely fumble through. It's an incredibly feeling. Sometimes I get to a section and I just play it without having any idea what I'm doing. It's so odd.<br /><br />I read once an interesting anecdote about the physically body's ability to remember. There was a man who suffered a horrible brain injury and lost his ability to create long term memories. Every day a woman would visit him and he would reintroduce himself to her, he never remembered her despite spending several hours a day with her, five days a week. The woman would give him puzzles to solve and even though he never remembered doing them, his hands found them familiar and he got better and better at the puzzles, finishing them faster and faster, despite having no recollection of ever having completed them before. I thought that was remarkable and have always kept that strange piece of knowledge tucked away. Your post made me want to share it.Esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375150088333673843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-44839421227902182192012-01-05T22:12:16.383-05:002012-01-05T22:12:16.383-05:00I wish I could hibernate right now.

I have some new books to read and I'd love to have a day to spend wrapping in my blankets, reading and eating things like this. <br /><br />If I ever open a bed and breakfast I might offer a hibernation package.Jennifer Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999871200590569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-64402183371192067962012-01-05T18:38:21.001-05:002012-01-05T18:38:21.001-05:00The recipe looks great...
I know exactly what you ...The recipe looks great...<br />I know exactly what you mean about the body's memory--it's crazy isn't it? A few years ago, I took an adult gymnastics class, and although I was in good shape, the fact that my body remembered how to flip and twist resulted in me being so sore for a whole week that I could hardly walk! <br />In many cases, it is a good thing though :)<br /><br />Side note: my nephew's class had hibernation day too, and he was very upset because he could not find his camo pjs that morning. It was quite a crisis! I'm ready to hibernate too.....in fact, I am kind of doing that right now!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591837775961213179noreply@blogger.com
