I'm in pain....boys are mean!

Ok...no boys were really mean to me...but I felt like whining......

I did my first night of sparring tonight...all dressed up like one of those storm trooper dudes from star wars.....I don't think I am going to be able to move tomorrow....got my ass kicked by a 12 year old that couldn't have weighed more than 80 pounds or so.  I don't like getting punched in the head!!!  I felt like a bobble head doll by the end of the night......And, I don't like getting punched by grown men either....if this was their version of "taking it easy" on me...then I do NOT want to see when they aren't being so nice.  I am going to be very sore tomorrow!!!

BTW....Can someone tell me where the female crotch guard thingy is supposed to go?  I'm thinking I had it in the wrong position (and I certainly wasnt going to ask a room full of men and teen aged boys where to stick it)......I KNOW where the guys put their crotch guard thingy (gotta protect the family jewels)....but the female thing looks like one of those old fashioned banana style bike seats...maybe that's the point...Am I supposed to straddle the damned thing???  Let me tell you one thing...if you move a certain way, the little f-er pinches things that should never be pinched!!  I bet it was designed by a man.....

Going to go soak in a hot tub now....

OMG ROTFLMAO!  Thanks for the giggle this morning!

I can't help you with the banana style seat - I have no experience but your post was just about the funniest thing I ever read.  Hope your not too sore this morning.

I can't be the only one to think that you should start a daily blog.  The Trials and Tribulations of Being HG.  ROFL.  I must also admit that you are a braver woman than me.  I would never be able to do a boys and men hitting me thing.  I would so break down and cry like a girl.  All that AND to get your hoo-haa pinched all night?  FORGET IT, and you PAID for this joy?  Damn.  The only high point is the hot tub.

Keri  if she did her cororate sponsor could be depends because this on the tip of the iceberg with HG ....I love this woman! 

Yah know what, Kerri?  I may just do a blog...it will give me something creative to do with my time!!  And...I think your title is perfect!  It can be like "Sex and the City" but instead..."Lack of Sex and the Suburbs"

Well YOU ARE always writing about having nothing to do but surf the boards.  You would be providing a community service - making everyone laugh.  And giggle.  And wet their pants.

Geez! I would have lashed out irrationaly and ran away if somoene hit me in the head!!!

The protection sounds more painful then actually getting hit in the crotch... I cna only imagine what would happen if someone hit you there and the protector thingy got hit into you - ouchy!!!

Now next time I want you to kick THEIR asses! make them hurt the next day!!! lol

You go kick some serious butt, Karate Girl!! You'll get them - you're still a newbie - as for the 'cup' thingie you're on your own, cookie - maybe you should buy some of those big old pads that we used to have to use and line your crotch with them - soft and safe!! LOL!!!

You always have a way of making us laugh during your less than fun ordeals, thanks HG.

I don't have a clue about the guard thingy....I asked Brian who has years of martial arts experience...he says he's never really seen female versions of it.  He's not to sure how it goes on...but is wondering how it stays up?  Does it have straps?  He figures it will be close to straddling it.....he did mention that if a guy uses a "generic" one from the store, it pinches, too.  He's wondering if you can go to a sporting good store or even where they have your class and get "fitted" for one....that one made me laugh my ass off...uh, yea....I'd like to be fitted for a female cup....lol....if so, you are braver than I!!

And his determination is that they should have taught you to protect that area first so you wouldn't need protection beyond your own body anyway....but (and I say this lovingly) my husband can be a real a$$ when it comes to these things...and if anyone teaches somebody a different way then he was taught - then they are obviously wrong.

Feel better!

Pam

Assure Brian that they are teaching me to protect myself EVERYWHERE...but, since the female brain in NOT located in the groin area like the male brain...I don't always think to guard that area....
