Happy Sleepy Tuesday, All, The Bullet Bag doesn't seem to be for me, Deb, but my purse is pretty organized as is. It does look very pretty. Deb, I finally bit the bullet and got up at 4 a.m. to exercise this morning. This was prompted by the fact that my daughter and 2 grandsons were at my...

DH has the memory of a gnat. I sometimes find it tiring to ALWAYS have to keep up with the calendar of our lives. I, of course, am perfect. What?!?

Happy Saturday, All, My exercise for today was walking, walking, more walking, oh, and did I mention walking? I slept late this morning after getting home quite late last night after baby-sitting. Today we met my DD and family for brunch, then sent DH and SIL home with the grandbabies...

Happy Friday, All, Garance, I love the Timesavers! It's 5 sessions from the Body Blast series, all mixed up, for instance: Warm-up from SJP, hi-lo from KPC, etc., and each one has 1 or 2 body parts added. The one I did yesterday, Timesaver 2, had 1 step segment, 2 hi-lo segments, back and...

Happy Thursday, All, Linny, I didn't know you were prone to migraines - you've really been through the wringer lately, haven't you? I'm glad you averted this one. Deb, yes I do the whole Pyramid because I got the Pyramids on VHS when they first came out. Believe me, if I had this on DVD, I...

Happy Wednesday, All, Deb and all, I'm going to try the getting-up-early thing Friday. I was off for New Year's, and am off tomorrow for working last Sunday. I knew this morning that I would have lots of time this evening to work out because I can stay up late even if a grandbaby shows up...

Happy 2008, All! We had a quiet night also, Deb - I'm so sorry about your DH. Colds are a drag. I had my last glass of wine last night for a while - forgot to mention that's another thing I'm going to give up. I love a glass of wine after supper - besides the yummy taste, I think that's my...

Happy New Year's Eve, All, Deb, yes, 3fatchicks has great stuff, but I think they have too much stuff on a possibly old server, so it gets hung up A LOT. The cold is worse - now my chest hurts too - great. I am so ready to get my butt in gear and get serious again with diet and exercise...

Happy Weekend, All, Cute shoes, Deb! Garance, my husband is a boob man - he always insists he was attracted to my eyes first, but I have my doubts, as I am rather well-endowed! Also, I forgot to answer your earlier question - yep, a Hurricane is a lethal drink - goes down smoothly but...

I, too, was disappointed in her book. There was very little content but lots and lots of pretty pictures - not what I paid for.

Happy Friday, All, Deb, uh-oh the Larabars are too sweet, huh? I bought 3 different flavors - stupid, stupid, stupid. I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm not breaking out any of that stuff until Jan. 2. Garance, my New Year's resolution is to not stress so much, and try to live in the...

Happy Thursday, All, After work, DH and I went to Cafe' Red Onion - it's a must-visit if you're ever in Houston. It's Central and South American cuisine. I had the Cuban Pork, with a mushroom and wine sauce, caramelized pear, fresh corn and salsa cooked into almost a cornbread-like texture...

Happy Wednesday, All, Christmas Eve day I did Step Fit. I didn't exercise yesterday because I had company all day long. Today is my wedding anniversary, so we're going out to a nice restaurant after work. Tomorrow, I plan to do Gym Style Chest and Triceps (or is it Biceps - I can't remember)...

Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, That's how the light gets in. ~Leonard Cohen

I used to try to keep the peace with the in-laws, but, you know what, life is too short to live in fear. No matter what I said or did, it wasn't enough for them (very strict fundamentalist Baptists). I finally started staying true to myself. I was always polite, and never brought up religion...

I have had great luck recently at both Costco and Sam's with extremely comfortable yoga pants, or ''yoga pant'' as they were labeled. Sorry, the labels are long gone, but both are in stock right now in Houston. Most comfortable pants I've ever had.

I actually managed to exercise yesterday! We went to DD's house yesterday morning for Christmas gifts and dinner. DS and family were also there. It was chaos with a 2-year-old, 1-year-old, and 10-month-old, but everyone had lots of fun, although naps were severely messed up, and crankiness...

Lots of these ladies have had great luck with the pill - I thought you should know the other side. I gained 50 pounds the first month I was on the pill. I also had blinding headaches and almost continual nausea. I went off it after 2 months. I think some of this may be genetic. My mother...

Well, yesterday's ''exercise'' was spending 3 hours wrapping presents after work. Today's ''exercise'' will be baking after work. Tomorrow is my family Christmas at my daughter's house. I know in advance we won't be home in time for exercise. Sunday! I'm shooting for Sunday! This has got to...

Happy Thursday, All, No exercise yeserday, sigh. I was at testing until noon - I passed all 7 tests, w00-hoo! I even passed Word, which had a beginner, intermediate, and advanced portion. I skipped a good many of the questions because I was given such a short amount of time, but I guess I got...
