I'm takin' you DOWN!!!

I may be short, but I'm scrappy!! (Katherine's new saying for me) Ha! I can now protect myself from all sorts of various attacks. Watch out, or I might just put you in a basket-hold and TAKE YOU DOWN!!! =) Well, maybe not without telling your first.. I will definitely have to show off all my skills when I next see any of you, it's good practice!

So, yes, today we did all sorts of fun take down stuff, and it was really neat to know I have the power (theoretically, depending on how combative the client is) to do that. It was, however, quite scary to be playing the part of the client and have someone make you fall to the floor and not be 100% sure that you're not going to go "ka-lunk" and bust your elbow or ass. It's a very weird free-falling kind of feeling.

One of the girls in training (well actually 2, but the second one works at the Franklin, NC facility and was just here for this week of training) and I have become pretty good friends. She (Melissa) just graduated from Vanderbilt, so she's been in Nashville for the last 4 years, so we were talking about Nashville/Clarksville stuff. How ironic. She is from SC, and just moved up here a few weeks ago. All 3 of us became pretty chummy, and some of the guys decided to call us either "Dixie Chicks" or "Spice Girls", I guess cuz we were always together. How fun, I love new friends. Melissa wanted me to go out with her tonight, but I was just too darn tired. Maybe next weekend.

Now, I have an entire weekend to DO NOTHING! Ahhhh! Well, I have to babysit tomorrow night, but that is not work. It's fun! Especially beacuse I'm getting my hair done by the kiddos. They've already told me to be prepared for this. lol. I shall have to remember to take my camera so I can take a picture of the beautimus results.

And that, I do believe, is all I have to say today!
