40's new in January 2014

sad face. Tranny on Odyssey gone out for second time. I've had it rebuilt at 150K miles and now it has 209K. I'm looking for a car.
 
Hi there

Jody - At first, I didn't understand your message at all - I thought you were talking about a TV show :confused:

Roxie - I've got that one on my list!

Lisa - yay for making progress, bet you never thought you'd get here back in September. Buying a house is a pain, full stop. DH and I said we're never moving again after buying our current house. They're going to have to carry us out of here :p

Mary - unexpected home days with kids are tough. DD is still off, she made it into school this morning but had to come home. No point her going in tomorrow.

Did a YT class today, nice and relaxing and unwinding the kinks. I meant to say, Lisa, I signed up for a year's membership with Yoga Today. They did a special offer of 20% off, so I only paid $72 which I think is a bargain.
Had a day off work as well. Today and tomorrow I've got nothing on so I'm making the most of it. Just been into town. Nice to go during the working day, much quieter. Just getting some bits and pieces, nothing very exciting. But I had lunch, read the paper and it was sooo nice.
Don't have to go to gymnastics tonight cos DD ill. A silver lining to everything!
 
Good morning! Today did AOLIH, better today. Jody, I'm so sorry. What a pain, and you know where! I hope you find a bargain. Ronne, so sorry about DD. Mine are at school! Yay! It's just hard when it's sooooo cold, hard to go out. I can't make them go out and play when it's -25! Much better today tho, 12 degrees! Lisa, I hope it works out for them. So hard to buy a house now. Hope you are feeling better. I have to do those lunges from a standing position, you are impressive! Roxie, how is GS? Better I hope! Hi Murphy! Not much today, have to plan menu for Super Bowl party on Sunday, have to get busy! Have a good day! Mary
 
no w/o today (I did walk the dogs 2 miles yesterday afternoon), I have an early appt with dermatologist. There's been a spot coming and going and now it's come and not gone (right between lip and nose), so I'm getting it checked out. My friend pointed out that it sounds like my body has been fighting it (coming and going) and now can't because of all the stress of healing. So I'm pretty sure it's something.

Jody, I think you asked if I liked sonata? We don't have that, we sold our odyssey and DH got an Audi Q5 (his mid life crisis car). good luck with your car troubles, they are no fun, you shouldn't need a big car again should you?

Ronne, They'll have to carry us (and all our accumulated junk) out of here too. Sure the newer houses look so fancy (I attribute it to the decorating). We have to put in some rock in an area where the grass decided to quit growing, I figure why grass it so it can die and need mowed, DS should be able to help us with that, it's such a big area we will need to get the rock delivered.

Mary, hope the kids get to go to school today. What a winter for the NE!

Well, off to the dr, I absolutely HATE going to any doctor!
 
Good Morning,

I caught GS' s cold and I didn't feel like getting up early to work out so I will have to do it when I get home.

Mary-GS is still running a fever and I might have to watch him this afternoon if SIL can't.

Lisa-the was jealous of DD they built their house and I remember all the decisions that had to be made but I don't envy what it takes to keep it looking new.

Jody-I am hoping my tryanny holds on just am little longer.
 
Hi ladies

Just a quick post. Still at home with DD. Went for massage - it was blissful. No plans for the weekend, still more rain so can't even get out for a walk. Bah!
 
Good morning! Today did GG, must still be channeling Lisa! Ronne, so glad you enjoyed your massage! Enjoy the downtime and hope DD on the mend. Roxie, how are you feeling? Did you get to watch GS? Lisa, what did the doctor say? Did he remove it? I'm with you on going to the doctor! Can't stand it! Jody, did you find a car? Hi Murphy! Not much, have to shop for Sunday, and enjoying last few days before I'm back at it! Have a good day, Mary
 
Had hard time deciding what w/o to do, wanted to do light weights, but my left shoulder/neck muscles were not happy (don't laugh....the stress from going to the dr tightened them up enough to start hurting whereas they haven't been). Dr visit was fine though, in the sense that they were nice, they took 2 biopsies (1 above lip - pretty sure it's basal cell, and 1 on forehead, they wanted to freeze that one and I told them it had been frozen many times so they wanted to biopsy to see what's going on.) I asked about my rosacea they gave me another cream to try (the bumps -- just a couple, drive me more crazy than the redness---on the apples of my cheeks), they mentioned doing some laser sessions....I might spring for it, prescription creams will almost cost as much over the long run. Will ask next time I go. Oh, so my w/o was a LI, LE(low energy) version of AS, was about ready to just quit and saw I only had finished product to do, then darn Cathe added in something at the end, I hate it when I'm not expecting it. Don't know if I feel blah because of the weather, snow and cold for next week!

Ronne, surprisingly I'd take snow over rain. That was a good YT deal, I have even more limited motion in the neck so I'd even look more ridiculous :) You know how you may fold a towel, tuck it under your neck to make another fold? Yea, I can't do that anymore. Did you moan or purrrrr at your massage? lol

Oh, I think I figured out what was causing my back of skull to neck muscles to hurt.....the placement of my fan during w/o....I used to blow it at me, but that would make my front of neck muscles contract, so I blew it to the back wall just for circulation, well, I guess the air in teh house is cold enough now that it bounces off the back wall to the back of my neck, and when sweaty even worse. Who'd have thought?

Mary, enjoy your last few days of freedom! I'm starting to feel guilty taking a paycheck and not doing any work, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do! No one tells me anything, wonder when they will start questioning.......I heard that the reason the 5 of us were brought back was because of this acct allocating 5 headcount, so the company fills the headcount whether there is that much work or not. And I still don't have the clearance I need. Crazy!

Roxie, hope you feel better sooon! I hate being sick (knock on wood),I've done well this winter, I'm attributing it to the liquid vitamins I switched to when I couldn't swallow, maybe they absorb better?
 
Good Morning,

We are expecting anywhere from 1-10" of snow today and 4-9 tomarrow depending on what forecast you look at I didn't get a workout in yesterday or this morning I didn't get home until after 8 last night because I did watch GS he has after terrible cough so I will get back on it tomarrow. I don't feel to bad today but DH sounded horrible this morning.
 
Woke up in middle of the night and threw up, by morning tummy ok, just a bit of the other. I did kcm body shop, proud that I did my w/o. Lots of snow here and the whole week will be cold so no walking dogs.
 
Hello! Sorry so late & so quick! Did C&W today. We have a birthday party tonite. Hope all is well with everyone! Mary
 
Hi all, I'm scanning/reading. Lisa hope you feel better. Mary, I like CW.Eat some cake for me. Roxie, I hope you don't get the cold going around in your family. Ronne, massage does sound like bliss. I'm going to bed early!
 
Did css pm plus step, was motivated today because the scale moved downward again! Neck better since I moved my fan and warm up my pillow before going to sleep, funny it's the little things. Half price take out sushi today yum.
 
Lisa, you must be doing something right if the scale is moving in the right direction, congrats.

Roxie, I haven't done stepboxing yet. I'm overall trying to pigeon hole my KCMs. Only a few are pure cardio, yet few seem to be all wts and those all wt ones are dissimilar to my Cathe's. I think what I like the most is the balanced throughout the body wt work mixed w/ cardio and wts are heavy enough to be effective toning yet still cardio...IDK, like I said, I'm trying to label them. Kinda like modern Firm?

Did everyone have Superbowl party fun? I was working, didn't see anything really. Missed the commercial w/ Trekkie guys.

sigh, at least one of my dd is very hard to live with. I just pray for her peace.

I did get a new Corolla yesterday. Love it, but miss my paid for van. Much less responsibility.

Lisa I did the KCM BC w/o 1. I wanted to do the 2 w/o pm, but didn't have energy to do both, the 1 left me pretty winded but at least I got a w/o in, first time in over a week.
