Me too!!! Can't wait to meet you all!

I'm SO DARN excited!!! :7 What a great goal to keep me focused and working hard. Anyone from Michigan going?

I love reading all of these. For me, I'm finally realizing, deeply, that they're going to be grown and gone before I know it, so I'm doing my best to give them my deepest attention now. I only get one chance with them. One. I've pared down much of my other activities (music studies...

Berber carpet is great! It's very durable and it looks nice, too. When we had ours installed (at our last house) we learned that berber carpet requires, at the very minimum, 8# padding. Our new house came with standard builder's carpet, but we upgraded the padding to 6#. So far it's held up...

I did see Brook Shields on Oprah yesterday. I didn't really consider if she'd had anything "done." I thought she looked beautiful, though. I was quite caught up in her story. Wow. Very sad.

Hi Kathryn, I'm going to give this another whirl. It does drive me crazy that his reps are not on the beat (makes it difficult to follow him and the pace is off), but there were some interesting aspects to the workout. I admit I got so frustrated with the music-thing that I shut if off early...

You sit on the ball holding a dumbbell on each thigh (up near your hip flexors) and you lift your feet off the floor. Nothing touches the floor except the ball. It's tough. (I thought it was interesting that such a difficult move was thrown in the middle of the workout -- the rest was pretty...

Okay, I tried Core Secrets this morning -- Full Body Challenge. I had to shut it off. It drove me crazy. I absolutely cannot workout with someone whose reps don't keep pace with or match the music! I continued to try for a while, but Gunnar's pace was completely off from the music. It was...

Kathryn, I agree! Paula's too generous with praise -- Simon doesn't sugar coat anything. I like that. I think Bo is absolutely the best. He's got it covered in all areas. I never worry that he's going to hit a note wrong. It just doesn't happen. And he's extremely comfortable on stage...

I had a Target gift card and used it to buy a Core Secrets DVD yesterday -- it's not opened yet. I bought Ab Assault/Full Body Challenge. Since I've never done Core Secrets I thought I'd get some input from my Cathe-buds. What do you all think of Core Secrets? THANKS! :D

I just started watching it last week because my good friend was raving about Constantine (I didn't think he was as special as she does). Bo and Carrie are both amazing! If I had voted, though, I probably would vote for Bo. He's just always perfectly in pitch and adds such great color and...

Dear Rose, I am so sorry. Truly I understand and share your grief. We put our dog down two weeks ago and it was extremely difficult and emotional. Poor little pup. What is Lepto? Hugs and caring thoughts to you and your family.

Yay!!! A Cathe Road Trip! I would LOVE a live workout with Cathe and all my friends here. :)

Hot Chocolate, right? Love that. It's so fun. I downloaded that last summer from iTunes. It is SO FUN going through iTunes and downloading those old, cool songs ... or whatever I'm in the mood to listen to at any given moment. Then they're mine forever and I can mix up any playlist at...

Thanks again, everyone. You're all so sweet. Thanks for helping me get through this week. Big hugs to all of you. :)

Hi TK, Thanks for your great suggestion. Maeve is a very devoted and obedient dog -- her only vice is that she pulls a little on the leash. She comes to me when I call her, sits, stays, etc. I think she would love the agility training, and so would I. I'm really looking for something fun...

Hi Colleen, I know absolutely nothing about dog training options. Any guidance you can give me would be so helpful. What is clicker training? Are there other positive training methods? What should I stay away from? Thanks so much. :)

Wow! These are all fantastic ideas and I'm actually feeling excited about the possibilities. I'm definitely going to look into all your great ideas. Maeve can be pretty jealous about getting her attention from me, so (for now) group playdates might be just perfect for her. She could hang out...

Hi Donna. Thanks for your kindness and your thoughts. Maeve is 5. Right now I'm just not sure another dog is absolutely the best thing for Maeve. She really likes to be the center of attention when it comes to other animals. She gets jealous pretty easy, so I feel like another dog might only...
