Hi Everyone I'm back at work today after my extended holiday break. It was so hectic, and I had family staying with me up until yesterday, so I'm really feeling shell-shocked, still. I feel very bloated and unhealthy after all the holiday snacking. Ack! x( I'm with the rest of you - it was...

Loved it! I was on the edge of my seat, too, during the scene where Quentin had the docs strapped down, all those medical tools, eeeeeek! :o It was a real nail biter! I thought the daughter might call the cops when she saw what her Dad was doing. That was grisly!! I was kind of surprised at...

Hi Everyone Late check-in for me. I was off this morning. It's AMAZING how fast time flies between the time I drop Henry off at preschool and the time I have to pick him up! ZOOM! The time just flies. I got some wrapping done, replaced some burned out Christmas lights, and that was about it...

I'm anxiously waiting too . . . I have confidence that the production is taking so long because of Cathe's desire for quality/new business partners, etc, but that doesn't keep me from looking at my butt and my gut and thinking I NEED a video called "Butts & Guts" *NOW*! :-) - Sarah

Hi Everyone Jill - Hope you have fun at your Christmas lunch! Straw onion rings - that sounds delicious! We just have a depressing government-worker potluck held inside the library for our Christmas party. Booze free. x( :-) Last night I did CircuitMax. I don't really like doing compound...

I have a 4 year old. . . . . And when he was smaller, it was hard to impossible to work-out when he was awake. As others have stated - if they are out of your sight, it's hard to tell WHAT will go on. If my DH is not there to watch my son, I will usually let him play a computer game or watch a...

Morning! Over the weekend, I did Cardio & Weights for the first time. My abs are killing me still. Then on Sunday I did Pyramid Lower Body, and my glutes and hamstrings are talkin' to me today. Today my rotation calls for Circuit Max. So we'll see if I can fit that in, between dipping cream...

Jill - Erik & Ingrid No - I don't know them. The Evenson name seems pretty common up here - it's my husband's name. Maybe there is a distant relationship! You never know! Funnily enough, though, if Henry had been a girl instead of a boy - one of the names we had picked out was Ingrid! Weird...

Hey everyone LOL, thanks for the compliments on the website. I don't even have this year's pics for Halloween up yet. Henry was Batmaaaaan this year. :-) Ellen - Good luck on your finals on Mon & Tuesday. I think the students at UW Oshkosh are pretty stressed out. Last night at about 11 PM...

Morning, Everyone Today I'm going to try to get my MIC workout in finally, after 2 days of a hectic schedule. We're going to Iowa tomorrow for a family Christmas thing (my husband and I are both from Iowa originally), so it's going to be a hectic weekend. Bring on the Tom and Jerrys, and...

Thanks, Kathy & Laurie Thanks, you two for some additional suggestions. I can see I'm going to have to experiment with this to see what works for me. I have to do a batch of cookies for a Christmas party next week for my son, and I want to do some cute cookies. :-)

Hi Laurie Laurie - Oh, fun! Year end work! Hope it goes quickly for you. Does your boss need coal in his stocking? I totally cheated with my sugar cookies. I bought the dough from Festival Foods and just rolled it and cut it out myself. I get a boat load of compliments on these cookies, and...

Caffeine Addict too Jill - Oh, I feel you regarding the Diet Mountain Dew. I am a Diet Coke/Pepsi addict, and the amount of NutraSweet that enters my body frightens me - but god bless aspartame, I love the sweet, sweet chemical aftertaste. :-) I'm sure it's probably pickling my liver or...

Thanks, Everyone! Thanks, Jamie and Mary! I'm going to TiVo that FoodTV show. My god, that train is really something! Thanks for the quick answers everyone! Martha, I am NOT - so I need every bit of help I can get!:-) - Sarah

Oh, wow! Thanks! Thanks for the great website. I'm going to spend some time there looking around. I love the look of those fancy sugar cookies. thank you! Edited to say: That site is SO great!!! I'm printing off a bunch of stuff. Awesome. Thank you SO much!!!! :-) :-)

I see all the pictures in magazines, etc. of these beautiful cookies with glassy looking frosting - it looks perfectly smooth. What's the trick to this? Super thin frosting? Do you just thin out a regular frosting recipe with milk? Is there a specific recipe for this type of frosting?

Hi Everyone Laurie - I know what you mean about OD'ing on the weekends. My son is only 4 and it still feels like he has a lot "going on", with preschool, daycare, swimming lessons, etc. I just like to give us both some "chill out" time. Plus it's just hard for me to work out when I don't know...

RE: TV crack Sue - I don't think you're mean! My husband and I share the concern about screen time, sitting on butts, not using imagination, etc. I fear the video game/X-box time because I know Henry will probably REALLY want one, and we're going to have to decide if we're going to go down that...

TV crack Jill - yeah, my DH and I used to be pretty TV restrictive, etc, but lately we've kind of given in and treat it as a little mental vacation time for all of us. Gives us time to do what we need to do, and my son Henry can do something he enjoys with all of his heart, LOL. That kid loves...

I did Power Hour last night from a taped FitTV version. I didn't realize it didn't include shoulders or triceps (some of my favorite muscles to work). It just had legs, back, chest, biceps and abs. I guess I don't know what I expected - with commercial breaks, etc. You can hardly fit the whole...
