About Me

My photo
The youngest of three girls, I used to be the littlest lamb. Then I met a boy, fell deep in love, and now I'm a Krasen! But in my heart, I'll forever be my parents' Littlest Lamb too. I'm told I'm over-dramatic, and I prefer to think of it passionate about my feelings, but you know, whichever...I tell myself I love spontaneity, but let's be honest, if I didn't have organization, I would lose it. So I love planned spontaneity (totally not an oxymoron). I love loving. And I love to write. Enjoy the drama (passion), organization, and love as it unfolds in my life...a life that is not my own, but is dedicated to serving my God and my husband. And a life in which I am clothed in grace.

Spintastic tunes

This title is a pun. Creative Casey came up with this name for the playlist I created to lead Kate in a little spin class on Saturday. So Stacie coaches high school swimmers. They have practice Saturday morning. The school has spin bikes. So Kate and I will spin during practice Saturday morning. Natch. My task this week was to come up with an awesome playlist and class design. Now, I don't want to brag, but I am a Spin Instructor. The real thing. Certified. I've just never utilized my knowledge because my job keeps me kinda busy. Certified BA Spin Instructor though.

My certification lapses in May, and I've been contemplating paying for CEC's (also known as Star Points in the Spin world) to keep my prestigious instructor status current. I guess tomorrow's class will give me the answer I've been looking for. Do I like teaching or do I just enjoy participating? I've been spinning myself for a long time, and I like that. But teaching, we'll see. Let's take a quick poll here:

Renew: yes or no?

So, we'll see. Maybe I should print a survey and evaluation form to hand out to my participants after class. Stacie said she might have her sprinters join spin class. I told Katie that she better warn them to "prepare to die." I'm just saying I'm kiiind of hard core. No big. This class might be torturous. I have 90 minutes of butt-burning, legs-on-fire torture prepared. Well, I hope anyways. Katie suggested I put out a tip jar for donations. Are we at a bar? I suggested leaving scrap paper for them to write their credit card numbers down on the way out. High school kids don't know any better, right? Is that unethical?

Of course, I could make the class a little user-friendly...I know as an instructor that it's key to make your class versatile, but not this time. Not if it's my workout too, as tomorrow is, then I'm certainly going to make it tough. Balls to the wall. Can I say that when I'm a girl? Anyways, be prepared. Besides I have to show these young-gun swimmers what for.

(That was also a plug for my services if anyone knows anyone who needs a spin instructor.)
