We just watched "Crash".

WOW. It was intense, and I was tense throughout the whole movie. I think I need to wait a few weeks and watch it again.

Michael started his rock climbing class today, and I think he really liked it. It goes alternating Saturdays through the end of March. I like that he's learning something cool and individual like that instead of running with the herd on the soccer field (which is probably what Will is going to be doing come spring).

We went to the First Lego Championship at Ga. Tech today...that was a little bit of a letdown because it was extremely crowded, hot and noisy and we couldn't see much. We mostly hung out at the "pit tables" where the robot teams "warmed up" before going into the competition room. We saw some bots and looked at the project displays that each team did, but it was hard to see much, it was so crowded. Will was restless and we left after about a hour. We went up to Atlantic Station, where we had never been before, to eat at California Pizza Kitchen where we knew it would be kid friendly. This area is near the Ikea but I had never seen it before. Really, it's a totally manufactured "village" surrounded by pricey condos and filled with the usual retail establishments like Victoria's Secret, Ann Taylor, etcetera. Cirque du Soleil is also there right now and traffic was heavy.

We went to Atlantic Station via Peachtree St. so I could find onlyoga....that whole area of Midtown had totally changed and is quite upscale now. I feel a little intimidated, which is stupid. I just keep wondering if I'm the only forty-something frumpy mom to cross the threshhold of that studio. I keep chanting to myself "who gives a shit" but I know I will have a hard time overcoming the feeling that I don't belong there.
