Cabs & Abs Terrific Tuesday

[rmrmr]

Hi ladies,

It's been a hectic week but things are starting to settle down. My stepmom has one of her sisters staying with her at least thru Thursday. She is not handling this very well. The military honors service for my dad will be held on Thursday.

We were able to pull off my nieces wedding on Saturday and she looked so beautiful! It was held at my sister's house in the backyard. My sister was so stressed out but everything turned out perfect.

I ended up doing MM yesterday and have decided to give Debbie's Sept 08 rotation a try. My running has fallen by the wayside so I think I'll just run the HM in October.

Tuesday .. morning Ladies

Hey ...

Di still sending {{{ hugs }}}} and healing vibes .. I forgot about the wedding .. OMG .. you poor thing .. that is a LOT to handle along w/everything else!! I will say a prayer for your family's healing and comfort ... know our thoughts are with you!!

Gustav was not bad at all here .. just had some bands move thru .. w/a steady wind of 15 - 20 .. w/gusts of 25 or better. I managed to get by the pool yesterday .. and the sky was bizzare .. the clouds were all moving different directions .. swirling around so fast ... I should have taken some pics b/c it was truely a sight!! We have not heard from our LA buddies yet .. saw some pics of what looked like their area (Plaquemines parrish) .. yes it was flooded .. I pray their houses are ok this time!!

We are supposed to be going to Biloxi this Sat .. guess we will call in the next few days and see if it is ok to come on down.

Wendy .. how did the race go girl?? I didn't get online yesterday ... DH finally got off nights and I was a cleaning machine yesterday .. LOL ... I was SO SORE from the progressive yoga .. hurt my back though .. they do some STRANGE moves .. and some moves that in my eyes are physically impossibly for me to do .. LOL!!

Angie .. how was the camping trip?? I know you had a good time .. yeah gustav as not as bad as predicted from what I can tell .. and Hannah IS next .. looks like they have her skirting the coast of FL up to the Carolinas .. looks like a possibility of her coming into GA .. will have to watch that one close too! Then Ike is behind her and two others behind him that will take us up the the "L" .. Laura .. oh boy .. watch out!! LOL

Today is really busy .. and I got another scaving email from looney bird aunt and cousin .. funny they wait till I come in on Monday to send it .. just does nothing but make me upset and ruins my day (which guess is what they want) .. I am going to stop all communication b/c she is WAY outta hand . . and has turned something so simple into a huge family rift!! The entire thing is over a family heirloom I let her BORROW .. and now she is rufusing to send it back .. it dates back to 1790 .. and she has basically stolen it .. makes me sick .. I should have never trusted her!!

Anyway .. have errands at lunch .. and plan on doing 4 step plyo pushup torture tonight!! I need a stress buster - have a great one!

Diana: Glad to have you back. (((HUGS))) I forgot about your niece's wedding. So you had a wedding and a funeral? Oy. Atleast everything went smoothly. Sorry your step mom isn't handling your dad's passing well. It was so sudden. Do you mind sharing what happened? Last you had posted he was doing well after surgery.

Laura: Glad you are safe. Gustav wasn't as bad as they thought he might be. That's good. I was happy to hear that. The PPY trilogy is a toughie. Definately something to work your way into! LOL Enjoy the yoga-induced DOMS girl!

Hey, where's Ang???

Today I worked the bottom half with a B&G mish mosh of mostly floor and some standing work. OUCHEES! Tomorrow will likely be a run. There is a yoga class at my gym at 7:30 tonight and a Yoga/Pilates mix class tmrw morning at 10:30. I'm trying to decide which one to take. Things that make ya go Hmmmm!

Off to make supper...BBL or tmrw!

HUGS!

Hi ladies,

I just got back from the day spa where I treated myself to 1 hr. facial, mani & pedi. It's my birthday present to myself. My skin feels so soft and the dark circles and bags under my eyes are gone! I did original bodymax cardio only before I left.

I have to head over to my stepmom's and I'm stalling. She is not pleasant to be around. We are all sad but the world doesn't revolve around her. I need to talk to her about what kind of food she wants for after Thursday's service and I think she just needs some support. She has said some not very nice things about my mom that I didn't appreciate. If she keeps it up I'll have to put her in her place. I know that sounds mean but her words are not necessary.

Wendy-it sounds like you are really getting into yoga. How many times per week do you think yoga is needed to reap the benefits? I don't mind sharing the information but will send an email.

Laura-I read the Gustav didn't cause as much damage as anticipated. I'm glad to hear that and the fact that LA had an evacuation plan and followed it. I hope your friends home is okay.

Angie-How was your long weekend?

Hi girlies

Today was like a Monday wasn't it? It started off with the dog peeing and pooping on the floor before I left for work. I should've known what the rest of my day had in store right then!
MIL had her car towed to a local shop to be repaired as it broke down on her last night. Well, they called her first thing this morning cussing at her b/c her car was left in front of their doors and was locked and they couldn't get their cars in the shop. So, she called me to take her to the garage. It wasn't a big deal but she was pretty upset and I was ready to unleash a can o' whoopa$$ on the jerk who yelled at her. First off, SHE didn't put it there. Secondly, they are a towing service....you mean that they couldn't get her door open??? Isn't that kinda part of what they do? DUH! Shockingly the car was out of the way when we got there. And the guy there apologized to her saying that he was mad at the towing service that dropped off the car and he took it out on her. Ya think??? I was almost half disappointed.......oh, how I loves to open a can every now and then ya know???

After work I got home and did GS legs. My lats are sore from yesterday and now my butt is screamin. Tomorrow is a segment of CM and a 50 min. steady state run. I did run over the weekend and the shoe inserts seemed to work! My knees didn't hurt! Yah!!! Hopefully tomorrow will go well if it doesn't rain. If it does, I'll sub a CC on the EXT instead.

Diana - I wanted to say Happy Belated Birthday!! I knew it was yesterday but forgot to mention it with all the other things going on with you. You definitely deserved the facial and the spa! Way to keep on with the workouts during all the craziness surrounding you. I'm in awe. I'm sure the workouts are helping with the stress. You don't need the worry of the Mary hanging over your head.....I think the HM is still a huge accomplishment!
I totally forgot about the wedding. OMG - I can't believe all you've been dealing with. (((((((hugs))))))))
So sorry step mom is not doing well. IA - it's not a good enough excuse to say upsetting things to others. She may not even realize she's doing it. Hope all goes well with your visit.

Laura - So glad that you dodged the bullet too. Maybe the sun will come out and at least start to dry things up before the other storms come in.
Hope your weekend plans can go off without a hitch too. Sounds like a fun time.
Sorry your Aunt is being such a pain in the butt! Grrrrrrrrr Some people are only happy when they make others miserable.

Wendy - did you end up doing that class tonight?
How did that race go?

I was hoping to have a weekend all to myself, but that ain't gonna happen. We've decided to take the trailer and truck down this weekend for repairs so we will be camping the next 2 weekends. I'm so ready for a relaxing weekend at home. I love camping, but I need a break already. I guess we'd better go while the weather is good though.

I'll chat with you girls later.
