I Envy my Beagle

I wish that I could howl at the top of my lungs whenever I am feeling the least bit moody. Of course, then I'd grow hoarse, and soon loose my voice, which would make the whole wish rather a moot point. Or a mute point.

Why would I be moody?

There's life situations, which are complex and dramatic.
There's the hormone thing, which allows for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes a month of a well-balanced me.
And there's men, which....duh. Of course I'm moody.

Although, I have just started back to my martial arts classes after several weeks off. There's nothing quite like hitting people, to make a lady feel all sunny and optimistic. It should do wonders for my mood.
Martial arts is my exposure to real life. This goes so far beyond the usual confines of a republican homeschool mom!

(This next paragraph has been edited due to a phone call from my instructor. He was concerned that the ................ I was refering to might be offended. Or it could have been because of that email from .............. that he recieved in concern about ................ Let it be said that I love my martial arts intructor and school. I highly recommend that you come and join us so tht I will have more colorful characters to blog about.)
There are .......... in that class. For real. Nice ............. and not-so-nice .............
I was thinking of profiling some of the oddest specimens, right here for my adoring public to read about. However, some people from my school actually read this blog. So, if I told you about the one individual who ..........................., and says totally ..................... loud things, why that would be insensitive of me. So, I won't do that, because ................... are people too. Right?

Martial arts is an intimate way to interact with people. One gets all sweaty and then gets tangled up with others. One smiles and aims a strong kick to the................ At one's close friend. There's got to be clinical psychological studies done on the friendships of martial artists. It's bizarre. And really a lot of fun.
I have now strayed so far from the topic of my howling beagle, that I ought to change the title. But I won't.
Hello, friends. Wanna fight?

Women's self defense? Hmmm, that's a right fine idea. I'm thinking this woman is going to employ some self defense. Pity that men are no longer in the business of defending women, and now we must defend ourselves.....but there you have it.
