I packed my gi last Wednesday night but didn’t make it to class until today. I was sick Thursday and my lesson Sunday got derailed by the weather. Anyhoo, I didn’t really pay attention to what I packed – it’s just a gi and it’ll be sweaty within the hour, right? – so my clothes were a bit of a surprise when I opened my gym bag. I’d packed my pink gi top and white pants – my fave!
I normally feel like a princess in my pink gi 😉 but when I looked in the mirror I thought, “I look like a strawberry sundae.” “No, Strawberry Shortcake!”
You know that cute little cartoon character from the ’80s? My daughter used to watch the cartoon and had the dolls. You could sometimes find a strawberry-scented doll, and if you were really lucky you might find her friends and have a fruity-smelling collection.
That crazy strawberry theme popped in and out of my head throughout class tonight. Weird. Does that mean if I wear all black to the next class I’ll feel like black licorice? Again, weird.
Way to rock that pink gi!!! Our gi tops are blue and the under belts wear white pants, so I always feel like a Smurf!!! 🙂

Ooh – I’d LOVE to have a blue gi but we’re a black/white gi school so I feel fortunate I got approval for the pink gi! I’m a little jealous! 😉
