It’s the same thing as skin brushing Shar - tell me you know what that is!
Today’s workout was Rockin Body Cardio Jam - I did the 30 minute express option - fun!!! Followed up with a 25 min Classical Stretch Hip Flexibility ep. That woman really knows how to stretch the body.
Finally got my taxes in…today. 
I had to pay quite a bit so glad I waited anyway! And apprently I don’t get the full 600 dollar rebate because I earn too much. WTF 
Do they take into account rents and costs of living from place to place?? A salary that would be kingly in like Missouri or something is a pittance in NY!
I opted out of applying to Columbia actually - I was almost done with my app but they have one WEIRD question in there that totally made me mad:
Please provide the full names, home addresses, telephone numbers, colleges attended and degrees, positions and current employers of your mother, father, and spouse or partner in this space. Are they still living? Also, if applicable, please provide the names and ages of your children.
Hello?!! What does this have to do with anything!! I have 10 years of industry experience, I earn my own money and WTF do they want to know about and worse HAVE FULL CONTACT INFO on my parents?? My spouse? It’s so fucking bizarre!!
And I _thought_ it might be to see if it’s someone who studied at Columbia but then they have this question right after it:
Has anyone in your family attended Columbia University? If so, please provide their names, relationships, division of the university attended, dates of attendance and degrees in this space.
The icing on the cake was that they don’t accept scanned transcripts and make you use some shitty format that takes 90 minutes per degree to fill in. Yeah, way too much attitude. They are the best but they really don’t have to rub it in your face sheesh. 
Am I irrationally ticked off about the family question? Because I AM SERIOUSLY TICKED OFF - it’s such a completely inappropriate question for a professional(not undergrad) degree! What if people are estranged from their parents? Do we have to let Columbia know? 
ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!

Rather invasive questions, I agree. Maybe something to do with the happenings at Va. Tech., etc?
On the riding lessons, you can take them one on one. That’s how we ended up doing it because of my dau.’s sched. A lesson every other week is manageable ( just barely) money wise for now.
