40's - heating it up

[fitover40]

I had to get kind of creative with the title. We hit 104 here yesterday. Thank goodness I didn't have to leave the house all day. Still the a/c had a hard time keeping the house cool. They predict another 3 days or so of triple digits, ugh!

Roxie, When I went back to work after being laid off, I took that opportunity to start out wearing no makeup. It's hard going from makeup to no makeup at work unless there is a break, then people just think you always looked like that

Mary, tandems are fun and harder than they look (at least for me and hills here). We rented one in the mountains, DH said he preferred single bikes....guess he thought I didn't pull my end of the load, especially up the hills

Not sure what w/o I will do. Or when. Contemplating waiting until tonight to w/o. Will see how the day unfolds. I do know I'm not leaving the a/c! And Bob's your uncle

Hi Lisa! And everyone else! Did MMA KB this morning. Today will be Costco and the pool. Lisa, I always sit in the back seat on the bike. A few weeks ago we went for a ride, we hit a bump, I face planted in DHs back, hit my knee on handle bars. I was a little skittish to get bac on! Safe journey this time! Are the fires getting any closer to you? Saw them on the news this morning, scary. Now to the makeup, I never where any to work! 5:30 is too early for that nonsense! Only when we go out. Ronne, saw on the news Buckingham Palace is looking for a house manager and they are taking applications! You probably wouldn't be able to travel as much tho! Hi to Murphy, Jody, Roxie, and Becky! Have a good day! Mary

hi everyone! Yesterday was a peanut butter cookie diet disaster.
I did circuit blast.
when I lived in OK and they had record heat wave of temps in 100's I took my girls camping!

[fitover40]

Here's one of the wall hangings I've been working on for the bathroom.

Jody, I'm in an ice cream diet disaster. Guess i just want something cool since it's so hot (I do not do well with hot in case you all haven't figured that out). It's funny how we all have our triggers, see, PB cookies do nothing for me We used to go to the mountains on hot days before we had a/c (yes, lots of places do not have a/c here), can always count on mountains being 10 degrees cooler. I'm enjoying sewing (before the room heats up...it faces south, that's why I decided to w/o tonight, I'm gonna be hot anyway, so I'll sew while that room is cool) and reading. Reading a really good book right now, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Anyone interested in that one?

Mary, Fires won't reach us in the suburbs. We don't live near any mountainous areas or canyons. This is the exact reason why, well, that and it's expensive up there! It's very smokey here today and lots of air tankers flying over the house. The little airport by us is always used to load them up. They fly low and HEAVY!. Shakes the windows sometimes! That's so cool about the tandem. Do you all ride in traffic? That's the part that scares me and I won't do it even though this is a bike friendly area.

Lisa, I like the wall hanging what is the method of artistry?
Next week is a new schedule for me, mostly working on Mon and Wed, but this semester running dd back and forth. Not teaching dance and didnt try out for the A team troupe today. New batch of chem students tomorrow, I hope I can help them get thru this course, the last batch had a really really tough time.

I pm'd all of you except I took mercy upon Becky since I figure she has too much to deal with than listen to my issues, but I'm happy to share with her- just didn't want to scare her off with my sudden sharing of all my details! I think/hope I will get to choose between the OMT and the RT program in about 2 weeks....

Hi everyone

I'm so jealous of all this good weather you're having! It's so rubbish here. We're on for another record month of rainfall.

Jody - great minds think alike! I did CB today.

Mary - a tandem?? Cannot imagine ever getting on one with DH!! Actually, I think the job would be right up your street wouldn't it? Think of all that cleaning you could do!! So many rooms!!

Lisa - That's impressive! I am completely and utterly useless at anything like that!

Make-up/no make-up. I've never worn much make-up at all until recently when I've started to get into it a bit. When I worked in an office I never wore it at all, but now I tend to put something on (just mascara sometimes) when I go out of the house.

Good Morning,

I didn't get up and go to the gym still tired from working in the workout room instead of just taking the popcorn off the ceiling and painting it I decided we needed to paint the whole room what was I thinking but what else are you going to do when its 109 outside.

Lisa-nice wall hanging. I don't mind a little heat but this is ridiculous for this time of year.

Jody-sounds like busy summer.

Ronne-we would kill for more rain.

Mary-have fun by the pool today.

[fitover40]

I never got in a w/o yesterday, was just a lazy bum. I'm sleeping through the night (I sound like a baby) so was up at a decent hour so got in STS Meso1, disc9, legs before going into work.

Jody, that is embroidery done on a sewing machine, really easy, load the design, change out the threads. then just sew the 20 blocks of embroidery together. I probably divulge too much on here, but hoping the lack of last name helps people not make the connection to me. And then of course, I'm at that age, I really don't care what people think of me, I am me, if you don't like it, oh well. I'm done trying to please other people (I know this wasn't the exact scenario).

Ronne, can you send that rain here, please?!?!?! 103 today, 102 tomorrow. That's around 40 C.

Roxie, wow, that's a lot of work, just taking off the popcorn sounds like a lot of work! Thankfully we don't have popcorn on our ceilings in this house!

Mary, how was your w/e? Did the heat reach you yet? no end in sight here! I need to move to Alaska! Told DH that would be a long plane trip every week to get to the lower 48...haha...he is in St. Louis M-W this week.

Murphy, I've been doing a week or 2 of STS, then a week of something else, repeat. Really helping the boredom factor that can creep in on STS.

Becky, how are things in your part of the world?

Hi girls! Did PP, upper body only. May try to get some cardio in later. I have to work tomorrow, not sure if I will get anything in. No pool today, 68 here! It's supposed to get hot starting on Wednesday. Lisa, is that another wall hanging? It's beautiful! Sounds like a lot of work to me! Roxie, sounds like you have quite a job going on! Mi don't really like to paint....at all! Ronne, how was the movie? I think Will Smith is a doll! Tommy Lee Jones isn't too bad either! Jody, did you ever find some place to do your own dance class? Murphy, how are you feeling? Becky, thinking of you. Today will be cleaning, etc. You are right about that job Ronne! They said it takes 3 days to clean the silverware and polish it! I don't know if I have that kind of patience! If I don't see you tomorrow, will see you Wed! Mary

I did travel fit on saturday - I think Ronne and I were channeling each other. I just could not get up on sunday and today, it was too hot and stuffy to early in the morning. I am feeling much better than before. it feels lihe the last bit of the cold is in my head and throat. right now I have the cough and the nose-blowing happening. My head feels too heavy to do an jumping. I am trying to to walk and get some stair work in - the walks help but not the stairs.

Hi to all.
