Good morning! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/char094.gif
You know what sounds good right now? A big creamy bowl of black pepper ice cream. I like mine drizzled with sweet hot beef gravy. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/eatdrink010.gif
But since I'm fresh out of both, I'm settling for a regular ol' frozen banana strawberry greens whey smoothie. I'm freezing, but it's good.
On today's rotation was -- Christi's Still Stepping! I got it out all excited......and........the DVD wouldn't play. Is that cruel or what? I tried and tried but it just wouldn't read the disc. But I was able to get it to read the other workout on the same disc, which was Step Heaven which I knew was too hard for me (especially right now), but I was all geared up to start, so I just went with it.
I started stepping and things were great! Until five minutes into it and Cham announced that she was not approving of my doing step.
She came onto the step, looked up at me and started howling at me LOL. I tried to do my twists and turns but Cham would have nothing of it. She tried to wrap herself around my legs. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry013.gif
When she saw that her howling and wrapping weren't doing the trick, she left,...to get her favorite toy and put that on the step and she sat right between me and the step and howled some more LMAO. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry016.gif I'm not kidding. It was really pretty cute. And I gotta love a gal who tries to make me stop doing cardio.
Step Heaven really was too confusing anyway (Cham must have known), so after about 20 minutes of it, I decided it would be best to put in Cardio Fix Kickboxing and did a 10-min thingy to round out my cardio to at least 30 minutes. I felt good....enough.

Now that I'm done with my smoothie, I'm off for a shower and then down to Mom's to hang out and do what people should do over the holidays. Nothing but watch TV.

Laters!
DANA - Good for us for doing our workouts! Yay!
>blueberry buckle coffee cake with the blueberries
Ain't no way I'd have missed out on that either. LOL at chicken & waffles! Kind of like bacon and pancakes, right?
>the dog out on the front porch which was really muddy and then Ralphie got mud everywhere!!!

>The malls are open and so are most restaurants and department stores. Post office and banks, some places of business,etc are closed though. Everything is back to normal come tomorrow.
I had totally forgotten what it's like in the States. Nothing, nothing is open here. Even some convenience stores are closed. Restaurants, stores, everything!.......Everything is closed EXCEPT Starbucks LMAO. Mom and I went for a walk yesterday and that is the only thing plus a couple convenience stores that were open. Mom bought a scone and a cinnamon roll.
I was able to resist, but that's only because I had JUST worked out LOL. http://bestsmileys.com/marching/1.gif
JEN - Yay, so glad to hear you're feeling better and very good timing what with Chad coming back. Is he feeling all the way better, too?
>I DID take it easy Fri/Sat and for the most part Sunday(once I threw up
LMAO!
>they've got you right where they want you
I am completely slave to my squirrels, no doubt about it. They just make me so dang happy.

>Just woke up from my extended nap today
LOL! I wonder if that means that you woke up once, got up and then decided to go back to "extend" it, or if you opened your eyes, blinked a couple times and then decided to "extend" it.
Your sister has a snow blower! Wow, that must be nice to have enough space in your home to be able to keep a snow blower. And you with your shoveling snow and raking leaves..I just imagine a fabulous yard!
Okay, pokes, I'm off.
Have a nice day!
