~~Coolers~~ Fun on Fridays

[cab0899]

Only 24 hours left till I see ds!

Just starting us off. I was just having a look at Cathe's August rotation and I think I'll do it starting on Monday. Planning a little run today to try out my new running shoes and then we're away for the weekend as Monday is a Canadian holiday. Would you all believe that I lost 3 lbs this week without working out? I'm happy about that but sort of confirmed that it was time to switch workouts.

DD and I had a nice day yesterday, meet DH for lunch, did some clothes shopping for her, went to a craft store and bought her a rug hooking kit and taught her how to do it. She has been watching me cross-stitch and wanted to try but I thought she would be too young. She's starting to scrapbook too, turning into a crafty little thing. Then we went for our hair appts so got a trim and some light brunette streaks in her blonde hair . I got a trim and the my hair a little darker than usual, my hair goes super blonde in the sun so she decided to darken in a bit and let it lighten naturally.

Today we going to pack for the weekend, do some baking, groceries, I'm going to run while she rides her scooter as the TM is packed away waiting the carpet.

Debra Safe travels to you and dd today. Hope you have a great time at the beach.

Wendy Hope you're feeling better for your trip! I still can't believe that you workout during the night like that, I guess it's better than lying there not sleeping. Does it wake anyone up? No, we haven't seen Penelope, actually I haven't heard about it. DD's birthday sleepover is in a few weeks maybe it would be a good one to rent?? DH is going to bug Home Depot about the carpet today, they never promise it would be ready for this week. They said 4-6 weeks and it's been 5 but I had put a request in for this week as it would have worked out so well.

Jeanette Is DH having a potluck at work? Glad you got some things done around the house yesterday. Are you working in the yard tonight?

Patricia Hope you have a quiet day at work!

Morning, Coolers!

Today was Amy Bento's ASC step, first 2 combos repeated twice, then did the abs from S&H Biceps & Triceps. Tonite will be a Cardio Coach workout on my bike. Helped DH put together his breakfast fixings this morning. Heated the 2 chili relleno casseroles and baked some tube biscuits. He also has sausage/ham on the side. They'll be feasting this morning.

Decided not to go to Reno tomorrow morning so gives me some time to do a workout, more housework and help DH. Hoping to get a golf game in sometime this weekend too, along with another bike ride.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Kim, you sound so excited to see your DS! Bet he misses you too. I'm going to do the August rotation too, but starting on Tuesday as Monday is my rest day. WTG on the loss of 3#! Isn't it amazing at how easily our bodies adapt to exercise, and we have to keep changing things up. That's another reason I'm looking forward to STS. I remember doing a couple latch hook rugs when I was younger, and enjoyed doing them. Nice that your DD has those interests. I'll work on the back yard project if DH needs me to tonite. He's at the stage using the backhoe/loader to move dirt around. It's a bit slow as he's not extremely proficient with it (yet). Oh well, maybe he won't notice me slip away in my bike clothes for a Cardio Coach session. Every Friday morning, DH's crew has a big breakfast burrito or sandwich from the snack bar at work, along with their weekly safety meeting. Think DH was tired of that so decided to cook (or have me cook) for them. Think they will enjoy it this morning. Hope you have a great 3 day weekend. Oh yes, Father Tony fell back in April, broke his pinky finger, but ripped the tendon away from the bone so it couldn't be straightened. Guess he had surgery to have the tendon pinned to the bone. They also had to re-break the finger, according to him. I think he's a bit frustrated with the progress. It's his right hand, the one he uses all the time so it's a pain.

Must run,

Jeanette

Good Morning Ladies,

Phil massaged my back last night. OMW! He is getting BETTER!!! I woke up this morning with hardly any pain! He totally found the sweet spot. On my back people! On my back!!!

Got some more errands to run and stuff to pack before picking up D&D today. I best get directions to MIL's from the airport. Since dh drives, I don't pay attention to which route number we take after getting off the Walt Whitman Bridge.

Kim: Congrats on the 3 pounds! I try not to focus on the weight as much as measurements. I lost more than a few pounds since I hurt my shoulder, but my measurements have gotten a little bigger. My dh thought I actually gained a few pounds until I told him that I weigh 112 pounds. Not saying that is what is happening to you!!! Unlike me, you haven't been doing nothing and are eating right!!! Middle of the night workouts doesn't wake up anyone in my house. I workout downstairs, and everyone is upstairs sleeping. You can't really hear the noise from upstairs. Maybe it's because of the plaster walls. We can hardly hear someone knocking on the door while we are downstairs! Ooo, I seriously thought about doing the Aug rotation. But, I think I'm going to do the timesaver rotation when I get back home. I bet your hair looks lovely! You wouldn't believe the young ladies in school. There a few who are naturally blond who color their hair black-- darker than mine. I would have never thought it actually looks awesome with their fair complexion.

Jeanette: Sounds like a cookfest! See! That's why I wish I lived near you too. LOL I'd rain on your day if it was in my power. Those fires need to settle down!!! It's seems like Father Tony's hand has been out of commission forever!!! Poor guy. Take it easy on him when he gets back out on the green or he might excommunicate you!

Hi to all who follows.

Mwah!

[doodles-n-divas]

Hi all!! Just popping by to say hello before the Diva and I head out to Wendy's! We are so excited about meeting Wendy's girls..and of course, Saint Phil! I can't wait to spend a week relaxing at the beach....I really need the break from the craziness here. Sorry I never got back for personals yesterday...CBL ended up coming over and I never got back to the computer. I think he's going to miss me...LOL!

I ended up doing PUB yesterday...and I am certainly feel it today!! Hopefully I will have the strength to drag our suitcases through the airport! I was thinking I would try to run this morning...but doesn't look like that is going to happen.

Okay, ladies, gotta run...I'm packed, but still need a shower so that I don't smell really bad when Wendy and the Swanettes pick us up!! I'll be in touch through Wendy's computer this week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[Massaging Mom]

So much to do!!! So little time!!!

Gotta leave in an hour and a half. Taking a break from throwing stuff in a suitcase. I don't even know if I packed anything that matches!!!! What's Debra to wear to the beach if I can't find my Amish bathing suit to give her?

Okay, I've officially blown a good minute venting.

Ballistic Hugs!!!
Wendy

Good Afternoon Everyone:

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL lately but things have been REALLY hectic at work the last few days.

On the bright side of things we went out on a dinner cruise yesterday evening with the company and clients. It stopped raining in the afternoon and the sun came out so it was quite nice. DS had a new babysitter and he handled it very well, even went to bed early! That rarely happens for me.

DH is working at the cottage on Sat. and if he can't finish up what he needs to do he'll stay over Sun. too. There is a festival going on downtown with rides so will take DS there so at least something for us to do together (as long as the weather co-operates)

Jeannette - sorry to say it is raining cats & dogs here right this minute again and I know you desparately need it. Sounds like you had a busy morning cooking up a storm. Are you disappointed that you're not going to Reno? We're you suppose to p/u some flooring?

Kim - WTG on the #s lost I wish I could say the same during my break but everywhere I turn lately there has been temptations + extra stress at work lately. So looking forward to this long weekend I tell you. Have a fun weekend and enjoy your reunion with DS.

Debra & Wendy - hope you meet up together at the airport w/o any confusion and all. Have a great start to your vacation and tell Debra that if you get lost its her fault being the navigator. Do you have a GPS?

Laurie - I love your AVATAR. I'm surprisingly enjoying Tony. He certainly is not as over the top as he was in P90 and I also feel the time just flies by and he keeps you moving from one thing to the next all the time. I'm a cat lover and when I was younger my sister and I lived together and would visit our parents on weekends. We would bring her cat and the only time it went outdoors was at my parents. I can't tell you how many Sunday afternoons I spent calling that dang cat to come home so we could leave. Nine x out of ten he would be sitting in the bush right at our feet and just looking up at us calling him. (But still luv them over dogs - My DH's saying: Cats Rule, Dogs Drool).

Okay, off to see about ducking out of work early.

Hi gals,
Today was a pretty laid back day at work. We are having a State budget crisis and Arnold says we will get $6.55/hour (federal minimum wage) so that's about all I was good for today. Got home, took a wee nap, then transferred Cardio Coach #8 to my mp3 player and off I went on my bike. Good workout. I even came in the house and did the stretch when it was done.

Patricia, the dinner cruise sounds wonderful. Bet you really enjoyed that. Not too disappointed about not going to Reno. Maybe diesel will be down a little when we get ready to go. Anyway, DH got some more work done tonite, along with DS's help. Hopefully, they will get the patio area all cleared out tomorrow. They have to put some slope to it and other stuff. I'm just leaving them alone. My part will be the laying of the pavers. I can't wait to get a chiminea or something like that for when the weather turns crisp. Then we can sit out there and enjoy a little warmth. Glad you are enjoying Tony. It will be a while before I can do his workouts again. I like him okay, just was burned out, but then a lazy Xer like me could never give a good recommendation. And believe me, I'm at the top of the lazy Xer list. I insist, so don't listen to Wendy or Debra. They are lightweights in that department compared to me.

Wendy, LOL about Fr. Tony excommunicating me. My coworker and I are going to dinner with him a week from Monday. We are going to have Indian food, which I've never had. I invited DH to come with us, but don't know if he's interested. Are you saying the natural blondes that dye their hair black looks good? I would be surprised, but what do I know? Have a great time with Debra! I'm envious. I should be drinking Verona with you two (along with a sliver of CC). I want to see pics.

Debra, have a wonderful time. Let us know if Saint Phil is the quiet, sensible one in the Swan clan. I've got a sneakin' suspicion.

Laurie, where are you today? I missed you!

Gotta run, have a full body weight work scheduled for tomorrow morning.
