My weekend was full of catching up on everything but housework and laundry. Which of course leads to a fun filled week for me. Yuck. Also yuck is that I’m back to counting my weight watcher points this week, I’ve taken a well earned week off after a week of not eating at all. It only seemed fair, and I have yet to smack, so I better get at it because I thought I caught a glimpse of a bicep in the mirror yesterday.
Saturday afternoon we went to see Corteo by Cirque Du Soleil. Of course, there are no words to describe how beautiful and amazing it is. I didn’t even notice until the next morning that sitting in those folding chairs for 3 hours really makes your ass hurt. And I came away with more than a sore rear; I now have a daughter whose sole ambition is to become a Cirque de Soleil acrobat. Twenty-thousand back walk-overs later has me pretty convinced she’d be darn good at it, besides considering she’s made of sugar and spice and everything gumby.
Please, no comments about the dirty carpet. Vacuuming is the last thing on my list right now.
LMGAO.
“Laughing my gumby a$$ off”.
Didn’t you use to have a blog with loads of crazy stuff Kenza used to do? Another addition, I think.
Love the high-speed photography. I think she has a future in the Cirque circuit for sure.
We have a couple of things in common. Vacuuming is the last on my list too. Especially because my 2 year old vaacum has lost it’s sucking power and is completely worthless.
that is too funny. I was in gymnastics from 6th grade on and I frequently used our living room for backwalkovers etc. love it.
Great photo!
I saw ‘O’ in Vegas a few years ago and DH recently saw ‘Ka’. The Cirque du Soleil shows are phenominal! Always worth the ticket price.
Vacuuming and Dusting are always last on my list. Dull, boring, tasks. 🙂
So that’s why I can now sit for hours without being sore…all that extra padding. That you let Kenza do gymnastics in the house just goes to show what a great mom you are, with or without a vacuume by your side.
Who wouldn’t want to make a career out of jumping on giant beds and hanging from giant chandaliers? My daughter went so far as to take trapeze lessons. Your kid could end up in Cirque – you never know.
but gumby’s butt is green. people would judge you and call you fungass.
i think you were touring hershey, pa when you had kenza in the womb. i bet she’s a riot. i can’t wait to read about her teen years.
vacuuming is way over rated. Future in circe de sole, for sure (how’s that for inventive spelling!)
rip the carpets up as floorboards are easier to maintain ….. as always ….. here to help
please come decorate my house…and leave your camera on the way out 🙂
I’m impressed with Kendra’s back-walkover! I was never able to do those. Glad you’re feeling better.
Having a sore ass is a sure sign that the muscles in the buttocks area are moving in the right direction. I know this. Sittin in wooden chairs at the bar drinking beer officially hurts now. Part of the reason my beer consumption is down 🙂
You think that the carpet is dirty….HELL NO! It looks fine!
What the h*ll? Why are there gumby ass pain in the butt folding chairs at a high priced Cirque show?
Oh well.
P.S. I see no dirt on your floor. You picked a good color to hide it.
Wasn’t that awesome when the little girl was floating on all those baloons and passed around to the crowd! That show was awesome.

That’s a dirty carpet? You’re right, I think I spy a dust mite in the lower right corner …
Awesome photo. Definitely Cirque du Soleil material. We saw them in Vegas – brilliant! You must have had a gumby ass once Susan. Get it back.
what’s a vacuum?
I love Cirque! Corteo is coming here next…I can’t wait. And, great pic. I’d say Kenza has a very good chance of performing with the troupe. 🙂
Like Mom like daughter. Both have gumby ambitions.
I love the photo!And glad to hear you liked Corteo. I’ve been thinking about going to see it when it comes to town.
Ok, now let’s see you do it. I’ll go next.
oh, i love cirque du soleil. we take our kids every year. they even have a water show at seaworld – have you ever seen that one?
Hi Susan, A fellow New Orleanian here, you make it look easy. Glad to find your site. Tell us about smack so we all can enjoy the ride. I figure most of us are watching our weight as well. All the best!
Be careful what you wish for…
