I find that to be a nice way of looking at them.<BR/><BR/>When I was learning to play violin and guitar, I developed painful calluses on the ends of my fingers from pressing them on the metal strings. Each art leaves it's mark on you in some way.<BR/><BR/>Right now I've got a nasty black/purple bruise on my inner right thigh, a yellowish 3 inch bruise on my left chest, and another bruise on my left shoulder.. none of these were done to me by my spouse, but I can sympathize with you.<BR/><BR/>It must make for alot of explanations in the summer when you wear a bathing suit.Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918610819952156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549369490411341731.post-2673367526288964342007-05-04T06:36:00.000-05:002007-05-04T06:36:00.000-05:00thursday : 40 push up + class (I had to break in c...thursday : 40 push up + class (I had to break in class...)<BR/>friday : 40 in the morning <BR/><BR/>Hopping to it. :)<BR/><BR/>They were especially hard this morning (ouch) after class.<BR/><BR/>How are those triceps doing?Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914289317924626891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549369490411341731.post-30655657717978579212007-05-03T17:38:00.000-05:002007-05-03T17:38:00.000-05:00Japanese tattoos we called them.

I have to tell people that my spouse doesn't beat me, too! <BR/><BR/>When I got a massage a few weeks back, the masseuse was genuinely concerned for my safety. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and keep up on the pushups!
