Summer Fruit Salad
I seldom cook. And when I do fix something its quick and easy. So I thought I'd share my quick and easy fruit salad recipe with you. Its great if you're looking for something light on a hot summer day.
Take fruit of your choice. (I usually use fresh grapes and a can of chunk pineapple.
)
Drain the pineapple
Cut the grapes in half
Place your fruit in a bowl
Mix in vanilla yogurt
Then sprinkle with coconut and sliced almonds.
Quick and easy. And it's healthy and tastes yummy.
What about you? What's your quick and easy summer salad?

Kick Boxing
Any kick boxers out there? Have you ever tried it? Its a great work out and a lot of fun. Other than pushed back toenails, jammed fingers and bruises, I'm really enjoying it. grin.
I started about eight months ago, when one of the instructors at work kindly volunteered her time twice a week to teach the class. I got into it thinking it was the aerobics variety. Heh heh. Not quite. But once I got involved I really enjoyed it.
Now that the semester is over, our instructor is done teaching for the summer. So she and the rest of us signed up with her instructor at his studio. We had our first class yesterday. Yikes! I figure as far as exercising, that hour should take care of me for the rest of the week. I also can't play t
he age card anymore either. The instructor looks to be my age and has a body like a rock.
Absolutely the worst part of Muay Thai for me is jumping rope. Sounds silly right? When we were kids we did it for hours. Now its not so easy to get this 'mature' body in motion.
The reason for jumping rope is agility, so that if someone attacks you, you can move quickly and respond as necessary. I must admit I need work in that area:) Our instructor said five minutes of jumping rope is the equivalent of a one mile run. I believe it.
I also ended up on a bag that didn't have padding. Ouch. Next week I'll check them out a little closer.
But all in all it was great. If you're looking for a good workout combined with self-defense training, I recommend it.

Memory
How is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?~ Francois Duc de La Rochefoucauld
Oh my gosh Francois must have written that for me. I've gotten so bad, I now start my sentences with, "I've probably already mentioned this, but...."
What about you? Please, oh please, tell me its not just me.

Manic Monday and Poll and Memorial Day
Manic Monday
As soon as you set down for a cup of coffee your boss will ask you to do something until the coffee is cold. Author Unknown

Please help me out. I've just finished the third in the Hunters' Series and I'm torn between two names. This is Zoe's book, so I had planned to go with Vampire Bay, but I also like Dere's Curse. Of the two titles which would you be most likely to pick up? If you've got a moment would you vote in the poll at the right. Thanks!

They are all gone into the world of light
And I alone sit lingering here;
Their very memory is fair and bright
And my sad thoughts doth clear ~Henry Vaughan, from Silex Scintillans 'They Are All Gone'

Thursday's Funny
I've posted this one before, but its a favorite of mine.
Women are Angels.
And when someone breaks our wings....
We simply continue to fly ......... on a broomstick..... We are flexible that way....
