I&#8217;m sick, I know.  Hey, I thought it was really helpful so I was eager to share it with him.  Not that he needed it.  Brian is a cool cucumber.  I think everything we learned in that class, he already practices.  With the exception of video games, which apparently should be a &#8220;Quadrant IV&#8221; activity but Brian uses it as a stress reliever.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457398480\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 18.18.29.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5295\/5457398480_088d1b1eb6.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 18.18.29.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457400806\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 18.24.53.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5094\/5457400806_7a85840fc1.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 18.24.53.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brian was a good sport and did the activities in the handout with me.  It was really neat to compare our answers.  Yes, we are nerds who like to do activities like this on a Friday night.  We have a lot of sex, but we have times when we do stuff like this too.  Our definition of quality time may not be the same as yours, so don&#8217;t be so judgmental.  LOL.  We are nerds who happen to embrace being nerdy.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5456901711\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 19.34.37.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5298\/5456901711_0152a01952.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 19.34.37.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is Brian checking Netflix, while I was getting ready.  Oh, yeah.  I forgot to mention that we went to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brubakers.us\/foodies\/?p=1013\" >BOSSA Grill<\/a> on Friday night.  It was just okay.

Karla came for the salsa lesson, so Brian and I decided to come earlier and check it out too.  We also saw Tita Tessie, Tito Don, Tita Emmy and Tito Tex.  They were at the &#8220;Dancing with the Stars&#8221; thing at Heroes earlier that night and then came to Suede afterward.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457124463\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 21.51.16.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5213\/5457124463_3e44eb8d75.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 21.51.16.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tita Emmy and Tito Tex looked great on the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457083071\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 21.24.24.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5174\/5457083071_1455607517.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 21.24.24.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of Brian dancing with Karla.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457126751\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 21.52.16.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5251\/5457126751_cee8c6750f.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 21.52.16.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our friend Rene, dancing with Karla.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457753072\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 21.54.56.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5173\/5457753072_db501bcec9.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 21.54.56.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5457735002\/\"  title=\"2011-02-18 21.53.40.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5293\/5457735002_5d1c4b4774.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-02-18 21.53.40.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He is a dancing fiend.  LOL.<\/p>\n<p>We left Suede pretty early on Friday because we were there a couple of hours earlier than usual.  That didn&#8217;t mean we went to bed early, though.  We still managed to stay up until at least 2 AM.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, Becca joined me in step class.  She got there early and even had my step ready.  I could get used to that!  LOL.  <em>Thanks, Becca!<\/em>  She told me that she was worried that I wasn&#8217;t going to make since she noticed we were up so late the night before.  I told her that Jenni&#8217;s Saturday step class is one that I don&#8217;t miss, even if I only have four hours of sleep.  It&#8217;s my most favorite class of all!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/5460081544\/\"  title=\"2011-02-19 18.13.42.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5217\/5460081544_5a1a9aba73_z.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"2011-02-19 18.13.42.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We went to Jeff and Stacy&#8217;s for a sushi party on Saturday.
