...I saw HK last night and did not realize I'd missed the entire season. Drat. I like Gordon. Did he have some serious raccoon face or what?...My DVD player is OK, it's the DVD itself that's curiously missing. Shred for only 8 bucks is a steal. Glad you like it. No workouts or gear for me before September now. We have a new insurance provider, and in looking through the literature, I found I might be entitled to $100 reimbursement now on top of the vision plan (which didn't change). That would be nice. I hope so, too. Not real crazy about the idea of slice & dice of the eyeball...How was the gym last night with the all the kidlets?
. I actually have to be to an admissions seminar this evening and it's going to be rush, rush, rush all day at work to finish up in time.. And make it a good whack. HK was okay...I thought it was a toss up between the two finalists. Either one could have won it. We're in the same boat with lack of rain...doing the rain dance for ya!.) talent but I felt bad for Petrozza...seems like a sweet guy. Ahhhh, KM grew legs and walked away, did it? It's been doing too many of its own leg drills .
...Yeah, KM is still MIA. I'm wondering if I loaned it out...Re: the beans, I used to crave skim milk after runs (it became and still is my post-run bevvie of choice)...I think if the craving is a healthy one, might as well just give the body what it needs. That's my very un-scientific theory. :7...Have been thinking of Shelly & her family, too. Hope she's just busy with the new house stuff.
:7 It will probably take me until my next trip to A/C to consider trying a CC outdoors so if you do it before me, let me know how it is. :7 I have volumes 3-8. I plan to get Press Play as well. I haven't done all of the work outs yet but I really like the ones I have done so far. I hope you enjoy them. Sorry about the high cost of the new glasses. I am familiar with the expense as my mom has worn glasses all of my life and has been wearing prescription sunglasses for several years as well. She complains about the cost every time she goes for new ones. No enabling for you. Be strong. You can do it! 
I hope it was a special one for you. You deserve it! He arrived Mon. afternoon with Spanky (our pit bull)
:7 I tend to save the iTrains and such for indoor workouts. When I'm outside, I just want my music. But we'll see. You may well break yours in before I do...I did gasp at the final total, but I know I'll have to dish out annually...it is what it is and I don't get sour about it. ...Sticking to budget won't be an issue actually. There hasn't been much temptation.
You have me laughing with the “What a group” comment to Wendi – so true! Have fun with your workout! Sounds like a goody! I actually like back work with kickboxing! Oh I’m sorry you missed your workout! And to have a rush-rush day on top of it! But the admissions seminar should be worth it! Oh man, mucking stalling with pec DOMS? Ouch!!! Beans? I sometimes crave weird things too. At least beans are healthy. I marinade everything 24 hours at least – I think it takes that long for flavor to really seep in. Hope you stay cool today. I’m watching the sun rise in the haze – the sky is an eerie purple/gray color. Ick. He’ll head into the office with me this morning. I’m taking DD15 to lunch so I’ll drop him off then. I want to show off his new do. I don’t know what I’m going to do without DD15 – she’ll be gone 10 days. I’m going to miss her! She heads out on Saturday. I’m tired today. I’m thinking I’ll do some yoga this morning. That sounds like a good plan. Okay – I have an off topic mini rant. We have a guy here in the Bay Area who was convicted of killing his wife – her body was never found, but the evidence was overwhelming. So now, about 2 months after the conviction, he lead authorities to her body – and his reward? He’s convicted of the lesser charge of 2nd degree murder – this asshole will be out of jail in 15 years – earlier on parole! The jury members are furious. I’m furious! He should be locked away forever. Now he’ll be out to abuse other women and children. Okay, sorry for the rant…
I have considered LASIK before and had the consult done, but I couldn't get the surgery at the time b/c of the Accutane treatment I was on...Then this past year, I was so wrapped up in NB stuff, I didn't have time to think about it again. This surgery won't correct my nearsightedness; it would be surgery on the muscles of the eyes to stop the "cross eye" from happening. So in other words, even if I'd had LASIK, it would not fix this. I can see with contacts. It's just that, without the aid of the prisms which are in my glasses, I have to work hard using my eye muscles to prevent the double vision. For a time, the Vision Therapy was quite successful. I would get the doubles mainly when tired. But I've noticed lately, I'm getting the doubles more and more. Occasionally even with my glasses. So my doc thinks surgery is the best option at this point.
......Today should be a killer...116. Great workout for you yesterday. Tapering would be good now! I bet Jimmy looks cute in his new do. Where is your DD15 going? I saw about that guy who murdered his wife last night on TV. I cannot believe they lessened his sentence! I am sure though, his wife's family is relieved to finally have her body to bury properly. You are right, he should be locked up forever. 
Didn't even notice yesterday's until it was pointed out. Must have been too much holiday or something. Sure was hoping it was Wednesday though. We just got dental and vision insurance last year for the first time. I can get almost everything covered now except for things like scratch resistance, tint and those little extras. I go to the dentist twice a year and I'll have my eyes examined every year now. Don't blame you about being leery about the surgery. I'm still afraid of lasik. Went to Wally World and they had this cute little running top on sale for $3. I picked it up and contemplated buying. Then I stuck to my hiatus of not buying any clothes for the rest of the year. It was hard too. Boo hoo! Haven't bought anything all year except for using a gift card I got for taking a Christmas gift back. I'll see how long it lasts. Riding the horses should more than make up for your oversleeping. You will get that run in eventually. I have faith in you. When will school start for you? Know you must be excited. Thanks for the rain dance. It looked cloudy. Thought I would bring my umbrella in and the rain would pour but the sun is shining now. But, it was free and it will probably work well with Shred. Hope that cold front moves in. We're supposed to be getting one today and it's supposed to bring rain. I haven't seen the rain yet. Enjoy Total Body+ and your run. Sadie been finding any more skunks?
I’ll do a light workout and some yoga, then Friday a light spin and probably more yoga. Saturday is off – I don’t know what I’ll do with so much free time Saturday! I’m going to work from home this afternoon – have to keep the dogs inside and out of the heat – I might hang in the pool a bit – it’s too hot for anything else. Now that I think about it, our vision insurance isn't that great either. I don't wear glasses or anything so I never really thought about it. Thank goodness we at least have some insurance. It is scary to think some don't have it. :-( That sounds like serious surgery. Do you think you will end up doing it this summer? How long does it take and how long is the recovery? I don't mind Grace, but the same thing gets old after awhile. I'm needing to mix it up a little right now. Enjoy your workout today! LOVE the discombobulated smiley. That is sweet of you to say that about me sitting on the side of the road. It wasn't too bad, it was a side road in the woods. There were at least 6 houses on it so I was all right. Found out the problem, so I am safe until something else comes along. LOL! I eat beans a lot too. I am not sure why you would be craving them. Hmmm. Good luck at the seminar tonight. Sorry you couldn't get the workout in. I am sure you will be burning MANY calories at work today though! I have been wondering where you have been. What a lovely place to call home!! Hope everything gets worked out with the septic. Too funny about Spanky. How old is she? You know you have missed someone when you find their snoring endearing. How sweet. Good news about your family. The Odawalla smoothies are good. I only usually have them in the summer. They are a little pricey so I don't keep them stocked in the fridge. I have made smoothies before. Have a great work out today!
