I had just subbed for Joel at South YMCA and, after my crazy work week, didn&#8217;t have the energy to continue on to Club Rodeo with the rest of the gang. We were only in it for the dinner part. I&#8217;m glad I got to celebrate Brynden&#8217;s day, even though it was just a small part of it. It gave me an opportunity to give Brynden&#8217;s mom Laurie her prize for winning my little guessing game on my Zumba page (I&#8217;d been hanging on to her prize for a few weeks because we hadn&#8217;t been able to connect until then) and also give Brynden her present, which I purposely matched Laurie&#8217;s prize so they could be matchy-matchy together at some point.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/46456071822\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4811\/46456071822_13c8c2e0b7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh!
