So there I was, doing my Gym Back, Shoulders & Biceps.....Mooch in his usual spot in the other room meowing for me to come and open his toy drawer, and Chami demanding I stop working out and weaving in and out between my legs when ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!!!!!!!!

Large bird #1 http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/animals/animal0045.gif : Me thinks I shall have me a taste of that curious hanging apple.

Large bird #2 http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/animals/animal0045.gif : And I shall stand watch.

TWO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea what kind of birds they were but they were at least as big as my hand. I could only see their outlines through the thin curtain....and so did Cham.

She totally did a

And then a

And then literally ran straight to the balcony window, stood on her hind legs and pressed her entire face and body against it! LMAO! Needless to say the two birds flew away.

Mooch ran in a bit too late, but knew something was up, and he and Cham sat by the window making funny noises for a while.

Wow, it seems the positive thinking and all your good vibes worked!

But now what.

LOL. I hope they tell all their friends and understand that Cham and Mooch are on the inside.... and come back and eat some seed.

Anyway, YAY!

MICHELE - Did you have a nice welcome for your DH? And how was your cleaning? Your....workout? http://bestsmileys.com/blushing/1.gif How's your cold?

DANA - LOL about the bird feeders. How about hanging some apples outside instead? LOL.

Ooh, goldfish! Are they your guys' first? Is Gabe going to look into other sports to try do you think?

>I just took a 2-mile walk and feel great. So far today I've eaten only healthy too (if you don't count the coffee). I had WW yogurt w/organic granola & fresh strawberries for breakfast, and a salad and apple for lunch.

That's great, Dana! I'm glad you're feeling so good. Yum. Organic granola.

JENNIFER -

>I HATE snow, I REALLY HATE shoveling snow

Okay, I've got to get ready to go to work now. Have a wonderful day! Mine's off to a great one! I wish I could just hang out near my balcony all day to see what happens LOL.



P.S. While writing this post, one of the birds came back to eat more apple. I tried to show Mooch secretly, but he couldn't figure out what I was doing LOL. :D
 
Hello Haters.

Auggie-That's cool that the birds found you. Once they know Mooch and Cham are inside, they will tease the heck out of them. My feeder has been full since Saturday. Too cold to be outside.

Since I posted on the other thread, I shoveled again. Maybe, tonight or Wed night. My slanted risers are coming tomorrow, I can't wait.

Two new people are starting work today. S/B interesting. it always is.

Have a Great Day!! Yes, I still hate snow. I used to love it.
 
Morning haters.

See August, we'd told you they would come. Now you need to get a bird guide and some binoculars so you can put a name to the birds. LOL at the cats reaction. I made some suet/peanutbutter food yesterday and put some out on a cookie tray today. The birds keep hopping around it and looking, while pretending it isn't there. Only one bold Blue Jay took a piece so far.

Jennifer, I'm glad to hear you are at least getting some new people to replace the ones who have left. Do you have to train them?

I'm headed for the stationary bike right now. I'll try to get back later to see if anyone else has checked in.

We told you they would come! Told you so...told you so http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/happy075.gif

And then literally ran straight to the balcony window, stood on her hind legs and pressed her entire face and body against it!

Oh yeah, the full body slam -- it's one of Johnny's favorite moves -- LMAO!!

JENNIFER -- HIRE A SHOVELER :* . At least someone to do your driveway. I hope the new employees will be an asset to your office and not a pain in the @$$ ;)

ROBIN -- Hiya! My MIL likes to put suet in cages and hang it in trees for the Woodpeckers. I hope you had a wild ride on that bike!

I had a lovely evening with my DH -- I'm so happy he's home :D . I'm off to visit my niece again today. Honestly, I'll be so happy when she goes home. I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed with all of this. I need to go see my DB, too, but I haven't had time. I figure he's in a good place so I don't need to worry about him.

I didn't have time for a cardio workout yesterday but I managed to do a segment of Classical Stretch before going to bed and I slept like a rock.

Alrighty, I need to shower and go. I'll BBL :* :* :*

Hello to Dana, Jen, Diane, Arista, and all!!
 
And Yahoo for Michele's wandering DH returning home. I've tried the suet in the baskets, but this stuff is supposed to make bluebirds happy too. So far, everyone seems very wary of it. Sort of like August's chatting birds discussing the wisdom of approaching her balconey.

OK. I did CCv6 full out today and the knee felt pretty good. I love how loose it feels after a workout, but then it stiffens up again. Sigh, I have I feeling a stiff knee is what my future holds. I'm headed into town to see a friend. Taa.
 
Hi haters. How is everyone doing this fine day?

August – yippee!! The birdies came! The birdies came!!! Woo-hoo!!! How funny to see your kitties checking out the birds. They were probably like, what the heck is that thing and why is it flying. And why is my mommy feeding it?????? Gabe is signed up for baseball and soccer. I don’t know how the 2 will work since they will be going on at the same time. Last year when he played t-ball, those games were at 5:00 and soccer games were at 6:00. But he is on baseball this year and I bet those games will be later. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

Jennifer – how did your day go with the 2 new employees starting? Did you/do you have to train them? I hope you get a break from the snowy weather soon. You’re not going to know what to do with all the extra time you’re gonna have once the weather gets nice. LOL

Michele – I'm glad that you and DH had a nice evening. How was your DH’s trip? Have a nice visit w/your niece. Do you have any idea when she will be able to return home?

Jen – what’s up with you?

Robin – hey you! It is so nice to have you here while you’re on leave. Have fun visiting w/your friend.

I had one heck of an evening. I thought that since I had everything done at home I was going to do some sort of weight workout. Gabe was at my in-laws and DH was working on putting an engine in his dump truck so it was just going to be me & Gannon at home. Then my quiet evening when to the dogs . . . We have a wood pellet stove in our living room – we have an oil furnace but when we use both combined for heat we only need to have our oil tank filled 2x/year. Anyway, I turned off the woodstove before going to work yesterday b/c it was supposed to be in the 50’s. Came home and thought it felt a bit chilly so I turned it on. About 10 minutes went by but it wasn’t burning. Sometimes it does that but for some reason it wouldn’t burn. So I thought the heck with this and turned it off. Next thing I know, there is smoke coming out of it. I open the door and something was smoldering inside. So once again, I turn it on to see if it would start burning. Nope. By this point there is a lot of smoke in the house. I unplugged it but of course it kept on smoldering. I tried calling my DH but guess what, he left his cell phone at home!!! I called my MIL and she told DH, who sent out his dad to check things out. My FIL couldn’t figure it out either but whatever he did, he at least got the smoldering to stop. My house smelled (and still does) so bad. When my DH got home, he said something was clogged in it and he took it apart and fixed it. So far it is working normally. What a pain in the butt that whole ordeal was!!!

I'm so sleepy today. Both of my children thought that they needed to sleep with me last night and I cannot sleep with them in my bed. They are horrible. :p They do not lay in one place very long. I had to put Ralphie in his kennel b/c his snorting was driving me nuts. It sounds like we have a pig in the house. I"m hoping to get outside for a walk if it isn't too cold. Maybe I need some fresh air to wake me up!!!

Have a great day ladies!

I...I wonder if I could put my DH in a kennel http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/think006.gif . He snorts like a pig and keeps me up all night! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

Dana, I'm so sorry about your wood stove fiasco! We have a wood burning fireplace and I love it, but it does leave kind of a smoky smell and I DON'T like that x( .

It sounds like you're going to be super busy with kid's sports!

Enjoy your walk. It's pretty outside today but bitterly cold.

I've decided not to visit my niece today. I've spent a lot of time with her and I'm getting a little burnt out. It's not like she's down the street, either. It's about a 40 minute drive both ways. She's doing well and it's not like she's i critical condition anymore. And her mom is there and she gets a fair amount of company. I know, I know -- I'm rationalizing, but I'm tired and I don't feel like going. I'll go tomorrow http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/sun.gif

Hey Robin! WOO HOO!! It sounds like you had a great workout on that bike! Once your knee heals and you can go back to your regular workouts, do you think you'll continue to use the bike? Man, I just don't get how you (everyone who does step) can do step! I just can't do it. I hate it! IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateit!!!!!! :p :7

I know what you mean about your knee feeling loose and then stiffening up again. The same thing happens with my elbow. It will probably never be completely normal. There's really no pain -- it just feels stiff and a little achy from time to time.

Have fun with your friend :* Oh, and post when you get home, why don't you :D
 
OK, I'm home now. My lunch was nice. My friend was my best friend at work and I have done a lousely job of keeping in touch with her since she retired. I just hate to call people though. I got her email address, so I'll at least be able to keep in touch that way.

Michele, I think it's good to take a day off. You don't have to rationalize. You've done more than many would have done for your niece. How was DH's trip? Did he go into work today?

Dana, we have a woodburning furnace in the basement that behaves pretty well. We also have a woodburner in the familyroom to help augment the heat in the addition we built when DD was born. It likes to smoke sometimes, depending on the wind. I know what you mean about the smell. It's not to nice to the walls either.
 
Hello Haters.

Good day at work today. I put in for a day off for late March and I might just get it per the CEO. No, I'm not training the new people. I have too many other things going on to train.

Sorry for my complaining about the snow, the kids around here must not need the extra cash, a plow charges me $20 a swipe on my drive.


Hope you all have a Great Night.
