CABs and ABs - Last Sunday of 2007

[angie_nrs]

Morning cabbers

I went to bed late and got up a bit early for me. DH sure is loud in the morning.....grrrrrr! The coffee is starting to hit bottom though so maybe today will be a more productive day. I just piddled away time yesterday....shame on me!:7
So how did 2007 treat you all? Are you looking forward to a fresh start in 2008? Last year actually wasn't too bad but wasn't the best year ever either. I'm kind of fearful of 2008 for some reason but I'm hoping it all pans out well.
The party was pretty much what we expected last night. DH's aunts boyfriend was the DJ AGAIN.}( He thinks he an awesome DJ and it seems he plays at EVERY family function and it just drives me nutty. He plays old jazzy/oldies type music and he's not very good. He plays the original music in the background and then he sings and plays sax over it.x( It's enough to make me wanna yak. I don't mean to be so negative, but I've sooooooo had my fill of that music...I just can't tell you.x( :-( OK, my negativity of the day is now out.....time to focus on the positive.

Wendy - How was your dancing yesterday? I sure hope you had better music to deal with than I did. *lol*
What type of mish mosh have you got goin' on today?

Diana - So how often do you have these early spin classes? Is getting up early for a w/o easy for you to do? I just can't bring myself to do that.
How'd the shopping pan out? Didya find any bargains? How were the crowds?

Isn't today the day that our beloved Cathy returns?? I'll bet she had tons of fun!!

Ummmmm....I should go downstairs and start boxing things up. Any bets on whether I'm gonna get it done???? LOL

Later gators

Hey Ang-I guess we do have 2 threads going today.

Since I'm treating myself to a yearly rec ctr membership, I figure I better take advantage of it. I printed off the schedule and they offer spinning M-F at 6am, and they also have Bodypump M-W-T-F at 5:30am. Bodypump is weight training, similar to power hour. I've never taken a spin class before but have always wanted to.

If I don't w/o in the morning, it's not happenin'. No, I wouldn't say it's easy though-I just do it. I would prefer to w/o at 9 or 10 am but that's not an option for me. When I get home from work I'm busy with laundry, dinner, checking Jerod's homework or running him to practice etc. You know how it is, you just have a more flexible work schedule than I do.

Shopping was a bust! I didn't buy anything. Amanda exchanged a pr. of shoes at Kohl's, and I returned some stuff to Target. Kohl's was very crowded and many items are 70% off. Target was great, no crowds or anything.

I too need to clean up the basement. I don't feel so bad about knowing your doing the same thing.

So, Di...it looks like it's just you and me. Everyone else has left us. *lol* Did you get that basement tamed?? Sorry about the shopping....at least there wasn't too many people to fight.
Are you going to workout every morning then? I have never taken a spin class but I would sure like to give it a shot.
The days sure do get busy don't they? I can absolutely see why you'd be better off doing an am routine for sure.

Believe it or not, I actually got ALL of the holiday stuff boxed up and put away. I even vacuumed the basement and got my weight bench dragged down there for DH to put together when he gets time. I had a temper tantrum trying to put the stuff away earlier today...I couldn't get the boxes to fit right in the closet and just spewed off a few *choice* words and headed back upstairs. I walked outside without a coat to cool off.}( Geez.....it's not even TTOM! Anyways, after I had a drink and cooled off, I went back down a few hours later and finished up. I didn't want to have to look at it again!!x(
Aside from my episode.....I have been very productive. I even ordered tickets for the race in June. I tried to get our campground reservation too, but apparently, MIS is taking the holiday off. I'll try again on Wednesday.
I also wrote up a w/o schedule based upon Gayle's BFL routine. I'm gonna sub in IMAX's and CC workouts for HIIT for now anyways....I might change that once I get the BFL book.
Well....I have a credit card that I'd better match up with receipts....another chore I'm not looking forward to, but want to start clean in 2008.:7

Have a good night!!!

Hey Angie-I did get that basement cleaned up a bit and all the christmas stuff put away...Finally. Our basement really isn't finished. We put up the walls and lighting after we moved in, but never did the flooring. We just have indoor/outdoor carpet over cement. It's a tight fit getting all our christmas containers under the stairs. Someday, if we ever finish the basement, I'd like to move the laundry room upstairs and use the utility room as a storage room with shelves. Where you could see everything and it would all be labeled. That's sound great to me, who nows if that will ever happen.

Now that I'm on a cleaning kick, I'm going to tackle the kitchen tomorrow. The top of the refrigerator (scary), behind the refigerator, and the countertops will all be spic and span tomorrow.

Oh yes-I just paid all the bills and things will be tight for the next 3 months or so. I always overspend at Christmas but did much better this year. DH's new truck payment is due the first of Feb too. I've been helping out Cody and Amanda to by buying diapers, wipes etc when I go grocery shopping. That's going to have to stop until I pay of the credit card-hopefully in March.

Off to empty the vacuum and maybe even get started on the kitchen.

See ya in the mornin'!
