Good morning Gayle and to all who follow.
This 4 day weekend suddenly got very busy. I thought we only had our friends b-day on Sunday but now it has turned into lots of visiting and helping friends out across our little countryside
.DH has to go help a frien today put carpet in his old fishing boat so I am going to tag along and visit with his wife. It is about an hrs drive but they live on a farm with all sorts of exotic animals from miniature cows to a wallaby (<spelling
) Then tomorrow is the b-day plus helping put the finishing touches on their shower and then I think MIL is coming on monday. Somewhere in there I want to try to prep some food for next week but I have no idea when that will take place!
Today was disc 21 and let me tell you I really struggled today! But even though I had to lower weight and even pause on a the bicep curls just so I could try to get most of my reps in, I felt like I really worked hard. I wonder if I am still gaining muscle if I had to lower my weight just to complete my reps? Esp. considering that I did it with a higher weight last week? Any thoughts?
Jo-I did end up taking the blender back yesterday, but since with this particular product you normally have to deal direct with the company, I had to pay a 10$ shipping fee to have the broken one returned. I only had the darn thing for a week so I thought this was not my responsiblity but I love the people at this store so I just zipped my mouth and payed the 10 $ and took my new blender.I am envious of you cherry tree and your apples. Niether of those trees would do well here. What do you do with all those apples?
Gayle- I hope you were able to get your garden planted. Down here in TX, if you haven't got it in the ground yet it is too late now! But since we work so much during these upcoming months, we do not have time for a garden. (not counting my killer black thumb
) Luckily though, I am fortunate enough to have inlaws and friends that are excellent gardeneers<---my made up word, so they are always contributing to me.
Your kids sound like alot of fun! Most kids these days do not make up there own fun anymore. They get it from the TV screen.
Julie-I can only imagine the battles you are dealing with right now. I hope your kids will understand. I also hope you are able to get into your workout and sweat out some of that negative energy and just forget about stuff for an hour or so.
Kim-I don't think you have to worry about missing a few workouts. Paddle boating can be hard work too!
DH and I are in commercial flooring. We install floors in schools , hospitals, churches, just about any type of business really. But he does alot of specialty floors, esp. in hospitals that have to be welded so they are able to be completely sterilized.
DH has recovered from STS but I do not believe he has even attempted another workout. He will go in the workout room and work his chest a bit and his bi's maybe tri's. You know how guys are. These are there keynote muscles that they want to make like Arnold
Cendrine-Hommingbird Cake is probably a southern cake. It has pineapple and banana . I think cinnamon and nutmeg are some of the spices. Right after I get off here I am going to get started on it. But don't you worry, wasn't going to lighten it so much that they could tell. So I think I am going to just not have any, and make it with the ingredients it has listed, unless I see some changes that I have tried before and know work.
It must be great just being able to load up the car and go to Disney. We are so far away from anything fun. But we just have to make our own
Busy day ahead but I will try to bbl.
