CABs & Abbers - Thursday already??

[angie_nrs]

Morning girls!

Protein pancakes anyone? I've got a double batch on the stove right now. Mmmmmmmmm

I'm trying to get back on a schedule.....these early mornings are killer. I clicked on the snooze for an hour this morning. I gotta stop doing that! *lol* I chugged some coffee and started yet more laundry first thing. I want to get the trailer all ready to go by noon today which is a pretty lofty goal since I have so much to do inside but I want to get out there before Gustuv visits this afternoon.

I read Cathy's blog last night (which is so entertaining) and decided to pop a couple of advil before bed. I think it really helped.....I don't have near as much hip soreness as I thought I would. Today is GS CT and a 20 minute bike ride. I'll have to use my indoor bike since my bike is already on the trailer bike rack and ready to go. It's been ages since I've been on my indoor bike.

So, it's just me and Maggie today. She flipped her water dish this morning and a bit later I walked into the kitchen and slipped and took a bit of a tumble. I bumped my forearm pretty good on the counter. I must've got it on the bone b/c there is no bruise, but ouchie!! I guess I didn't clean up the water as well as I thought I did.

OK - gotta go and flip some pancakes.

Have a great Thrusday girls

Hi Ladies,

We are heading out for my dad's military burial at Ft. Logan. I think it will be a beautiful ceremony albeit very sad. My niece (just married) will be folding the flag with a Sr. officer and presenting it to her grandma.

No workout for me today, but I did do L&G yesterday morning. I don't do that w/o very often as I prefer standard leg work like GS Legs or PLB. It was a nice change of pace for me.

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!!

Angie-It seems as though you've spent your summer preparing for camping, camping, and the neverending cleanup after camping. I'm so glad you get to enjoy your family weekends together. Have another fun one!!! BTW, I'll take one of those protein pancakes!

Hope everyone has a great day. I probably won't get back here today but will be back tomorrow.

If I had a camera placed in my kitchen you would catch me just about everymorning slipping ... my dogs are not the neatests thing w/thier drinking of the water bowl .. yes I have a mat down .. but their jowls are so large the water just drips all over my TILE floor and I am usually running and hit that corner .. and do a very unique slippity do and recovery w/what I am sure is a priceless expression of laughter and fright!! ... protien panckes .. good idea ... I dont know why but I lost my taste for pancakes .. DH love them .. but I just can stomach the texture of them much less the syrup ... ??? I know I am weird!

Wendy .. what torture are you inflicting upon yourself today?? aaahhhh ... today was the first day of school for the munchkin ... sending calming nervous mother vibes your way!! do let us know how mommy faired .. I am sure Joey will do much better than mom!! LOL

My brother was sent to LA to help out w/security .. they are looting again!! they are even robbing the FEMA trucks ... WTH??? Natural disasters tend to bring the thieves outta the woodworks .. they inspire the best out of normal people and the worste out of not so good people!!

OK .. so today will be 1/2 plyo/lower body work 1/2 power yoga .. the back is a bit better . . hoping the yoga will help this time!!

Hey Girls.

Fly by to say day 1 of school is behind us and he did well! He loved it and I got a great report back from the teachers!

I worked this morning and then squeezed in a 2 mile run and CTX chest/biceps/abs before having to shower and run out to pick DS up from school at 2:20.

Now I have to get him into the tub for a bath because we are going up to my mom's for dinner soon and won't be home in time to get it done tonight.

I'll try to get back for personals tonight after he's in bed!

Ciao bellas!

Allright girls.....I'm stalling!

I have been busy and have knocked out much of my to-do list, but looking around me, I still have lots to do.

I got the trailer cleaned but not quite packed yet. Gustuv's here and it's been raining since late this morning and will probably continue to do so until tomorrow late afternoon. We need the rain, so I shouldn't complain, but Gustuv's putting a damper on my weekend plans.

I called this afternoon on a TM in the classified ads. It a Horizon Advance 400 which I looked up on the web. It's a 2003 model which the guy said he paid $800 for and would be willing to sell for $250. Hmmmmmm - he wasn't home when I called so I'll call later tonight and see. It sounds kinda pricey for a 5 year old TM, but if it's in lightly used shape as advertised, it might be a good deal.

Laura - Ah yes, the tile floor. I'm sure I had a priceless expression on my face for sure! It was certainly a surprise for my achin' muscles.
Oh I don't eat syrup on my protein pancakes, I use PB instead. The protein one's don't have the same texture as regular pancakes, more of the cottage cheese like texture, which may be a dealbreaker for you as well. I like them b/c they are healthy, but most of all b/c they are filling!
I agree that major events just emphasize the good and bad in people. It's just kinda depressing how some people are just plain bad apples.
More plyo today? You go!

Diana - I was thinking of you and your family today. What a emotional roller coaster you and your family has gone thru these last few days. ((((hugs)))) I know that can be so exhausting. I hope you have a relaxing weekend on tap.

Wendy - Great news with Joey. So glad he enjoyed it! How'd you do? Was he gone all day or a half day?

OK - gotta get my butt downstairs to go GS CT and a 20 min. bike ride. I hate the bike I have right now. Maybe I should be shopping for a new bike too??

Later girls

Angie

Hi Girls.

Wow am I tired. Not used to the tight schedule (no time for a nap, LOL) but I like it. It's better for me. I also must be honest and say that although I love my son more then anything in the whole world, not having to cart him to work with me today was FABULOUS!!!! My morning was much less stressful because I did not have to worry about him therefore I did not feel exhausted like I had been feeling so there really was no need for a nap today! This is the EXACTLY what I've needed for a LOOOONG time. Gotta love FREE preschool!

Anywho, I'm gonna be hittin' the bed as soon as I'm done here but I wanted to come and catch up with personals first.

Ang: Glad the advil helped your sore hip. I will take ibuprofen for really bad DOMS and it seems to help. How is your elbow after that fall? Did Maggie lick your boo-boo for you? Joey is in a full day program. He goes from 8:20 to 2:20. It's freakin' FABULOUS!!!! Ut oh...is it wrong to be that happy about it?

Poochy: Looting is such an awful thing. Why do people stoop so low? If you are going to steal then do it like a man! LOL

Diana: How was the funeral? My grandfather was buried with military honors. Very nice. I have an uncle who died this year and was buried in Arlington cemetary. I couldn't go to the funeral but I'm sure it was something to see. The military know how to honor their people. Glad you enjoyed L&G today. Seeing as how I am focusing on endurace this month I just might have to pull that one out next week! I am doing only CTX for upper body but I am rotating lower body endurance work outs. I don't think I can do the EXACT same leg torture session every week! LOL

Okay, time to hit the bed!

Hugs to all!
