Spending Money

I found out today that training to be a fitness instructor will cost me $300. On the upside, I won't need to get a hotel during the three days because one place is five minutes from Husband's grandmother's house and the other is ten minutes from my parents' place.

Still, I told Husband and he winced at the sum because the gym really doesn't pay well. They mostly cover your expenses and the monthly gym membership fee is waived, but I somehow only pay $16 a month. Shhhh. I think they screwed up and I don't really want to tell them that info, you know?

That being said, I overheard Husband telling a friend that $300 is worth it if he can say he's married to a fitness instructor. Yeah, that's if I pass the test, darling. And the key word here is "say". You can still tell I had three c-sections, if you catch my drift.

Mind you, I couldn't do any worse than this one instructor I went to on Easter Monday near my mum's house. Her choreography was waaay off and her positioning was, well, dangerous. Middle Sister came with me and by the second song, I told her that she should just watch me do the moves. You go for a workout; not tendonitis.

My parents dragged their knuckles out of the Stone Age and bought a computer a little while ago. I took my dad out and told the sales guy exactly what we were looking for. If you know my father, you could well imagine that he did his research before buying anything.

The only problem was getting online. These are two people who asked, "What's that flashing line, Jennifer?" "That would be your cursor." Yes, Baby Boy can maneuver his way around better than his grandparents. Dad tried to get hooked up on his own but couldn't. He doesn't hear well and the tech support has been outsourced to India. An accent and a hearing-impaired computer newbie isn't a good combo. I was there on Easter and realized that the computer was, in fact, already online. Mum and Dad just didn't know how to connect. I couldn't get their email going, though, and I tried for hours at the expense of hanging out with the family unfortunately. I'll get email for them another time and as far as the family goes, Dad is just super happy that the computer is working.
