<---above thy deep and dreamless sleep

<---thinks it's time to quit work, don a habit and spend the rest of life on knees
<---will keep Melody and the magnetic boys in prayers
<---pictures them like the tiny magnetic Scotty dog toys that kiss
<---except with hands around throats instead
<---is happy to be working days, but thinks this one is starting to drag
<---wants to go home and veg with a glass of wine
<---will probably do laundry, make chex mix and vacuum with wine instead
<---but, hey, everything is better with wine, isn't it?
 
<--- is checking back in
<--- feels really, really lousy
<--- really just wants to start feeling better
<--- doesn't think a workout is in the cards tonight
<--- is starting to panic about missing so many workouts
<--- wonders how you vacuum with wine - doesn't it stain?
<--- thinks Melvin's boys truly DO sound like the 3 stooges
<--- hopes Amy is getting some good rest
 
<--- needs to break <--- format to tell her story

THE STORY of DH and THE TABLE TOP CHRISTMAS TREE
by Miss Lee

‘Twas a week before Christmas and home all alone,
Miss Lee’s DH had a plan all his own
To decorate for Christmas while she was away,
Much, oh much to Miss Lee’s dismay.

He spied the tree all snuggly and safe
On the floor in the closet hidden under a drape,
Where Miss Lee had placed it with tender care
In hopes that it wouldn’t be harmed in there.

It was 3 feet tall, all pretty and straight,
In a festive red pot that was not too ornate.
Bright balls of blown glass and lights galore
Were wired into place by the florist at the store.

DH leapt into action, all excited with glee
Thinking what a great help it would be to Miss Lee.
So he flung off the drape and picked up the tree,
Clutching the pot to his chest, one, two, three.

He ran down the stairs without knowing at all
That the branches of the tree were scraping the wall.
A blown glass ornament, or two, or three
Had cracked and broken on that poor little tree.

He reached the first floor and what did he see,
But a rickety old table on which to set down the tree.
He stood back and surveyed his work with a smile
Thinking he’d done something that was totally worthwhile.

Miss Lee gasped and shouted OMG!!
(I can’t possibly put my reaction into poetry—lol!)

THE END
 
<---not if you suck it down like a vacuum
<---shakes fist at Shelley and says don't you dare workout
<---tells Shelley that is the over all cosmic entity of life as we know it, one day of Shelley not working out will not change one single thing
<---adds that in the whole CEOFAWKI, a whole month of Shelley not working out (yeah, like that will ever happen) will not change a single thing
<---adds vanity, vanity, all is vanity
<---on a lighter note, <---posted some good news
<---tells you all to go look for it
 
<--- is gasping in horror at Miss Lee's DH's escapade with the tree!
<--- wonders if anything was saved?
<--- tells Robin that she only worked out TWICE last week:(
<--- is off to check out the good news
 
<---ROFLOL at Ms Lee
<---thinks Ms Lee should be the resident poet of Cathe.com
<---understands why it took so long to tell the tale now
<---hopes Ms Lee will tell all of her stories in verse now
<---OMG, OMG, OMG, only TWICE last week, Shelley?
<---doesn't remember tremors throughout the earths crust, volcanoes erupting, giant meteors striking major cities or the shortage of chocolate occuring as a result
<---hopes Shelley can take a deep breath (as deep as her illness will allow) and relax, heal and get back into the workouts with a vengence when she is ALL better
 
<--is aghast at the tree story!
<--does however think Michele is a poet and probalby didn't know it
<--hopes Michele can recover from this tramatic experience
<--tells SHelley that her body will surely THANK HER for the rest
<--knows she will be fine

<--is back, Chase just puked
<--really hopes it is just a fluke, and not another bug
<--is afraid he feels a tad feverish
<--says the baby rolled over and hit his head on the coffee table and now has a lovely red mark
<--feels bad cuz <--knows it hurt

<--- tells Robin that she realizes that it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it means a lot to her and causes more stress
 
<--sends Shelley a hug
<--really does understand the feelings when <--force <--self to take a rest day
<--is sure that Shelley will be back with a vengeance when she feels better
<--is no better, since <--worked out all last week with this dang cold, and <--still has the dang cold, but might not still have the dang cold if <--had rested more
<--didn't think it was much fun coughing thru all the stretches
<--sends Shelley another healing hug
