Good job at the bb game, Patricia! I definitely think you should get some free babysitting this summer! It seems like it's going well having your nephew for the summer. Is he enjoying the job?

We had a real lazy day yesterday, did get to Sport Check and bought ds 2 pairs of shoes and none for me Picked DH up from the airport in the evening.

Today is a busy day first 4DS bootcamp, then dr's appts for the kids (dd's annual and asthma check for ds), then off to the dentist for checks/cleanings for all 3 of us. Then I'll drop off the kids at home and hit the grocery store to shop for our camping trip. DH is at work today and we hope to leave by after lunch tomorrow. DH and ds are going to use the football tickets for tonight as dd needs to stay home to watch the Jonas brothers tv show

Morning All,

Another day of Level 2 Shred done, only one more day and on to Level 3. Will post on Monday (before we leave), what my results where from this level. We are heading out to the cabin on Monday morning, so no computer for me until Friday. Tonight is shopping for the weekend, and probably some packing for next week.

Kim, Good plan on the 4ds. I have not done the step workouts on there, but love the weights, bootcamp and kb. I have seen the Harry Potter movie. I was so so on it, didn't think it was as good as some of the others. Isn't that how it always goes with shopping for ourselves. The children always come first.

Patricia, WTG on the bb high! You sure do have a busy weekend! I think that having your nephew with you is a bonus babysitter! I want to see The Julie/Julia Project. I remember when she was on TV, and would be drinking wine and cooking.

Have a great weekend,

Laurie

Laurie, have a great time at the lake!

Just finished the last of the 4DS series now got to get moving to pack up for camping. I probably won't be able to post for a few days. We'll be camping until Thursday then Friday we're having dd's 9th birthday party. Then Saturday we're supposed to head back to my mom's cottage for the August long weekend. Back on the Monday and to work on the Tuesday. So won't be around any computers much over the next week.

Hope everyone has a great week! Kim

Well, back to work for me as you all go on holidays

Over the last few days I did HSA, LIS cardio only and played 2 games of BB - both wins Suppose to play tonight but the weather is not looking good. My fingers are x-d.

Well, I picked up so sort of virus on my home computer Sun. afternoon so will see what I can do to get it fixed tonight

Hope you are all enjoying your VACATIONS.

Off to print the RT agenda

I think I finally got the virus off my computer and everything seems to be working well (fingers x-d) Stayed up until 2am on Mon. night and 11pm Tues. night though. I ended up playing BB Monday night and we lost Tues. game we won by forfeit.

I'm going to try and get most of my packing tonight as Thurs. night going on a dinner cruise with work. (life is tough). Its DH's birthday also and he has already told me not to think the dinner is his BD dinner Gee, never even crossed my mind That reminds me, I'd better has DS sign his card tonight and wrap his gifts I've had hiding for 2 weeks in the basement!

DS had his 2 stitches removed today. I sure I could have done it myself. He is just favouring his hand right now as I think he is scared to use it. I'm sure by the end of the day he won't even notice he is using it again.

My sister is in Philadelphia today as part of her vacation of the east coast. If I'd known that I probably could have given her my suitcase and tell her to just leave it at my hotel or Cathe's gym.

Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays so far.

Back from camping. We had lots of fun! Boy, living outside for 5 days makes you tired, all the fresh air I guess. Camping is fun but lots of work at times. Came home a day early as today was supposed to rain all day and glad that we did as cold as well as rainy. We went and saw the HP movied this afternoon as soon as we got home. Tomorrow will be busy with cleaning out the camper and house as well as making dd's birthday cake for Friday's party. I think I'll start CLX tomorrow as we will probably only be at the cottage for one night over the long weekend.

Patricia, have an amazing time!!! I want to hear all the details when you get back. I can't imagine meeting Cathe in person. Not that I'm a person that gets really star struck but would just seem so weird after "seeing" her my basement for so many years. It's hard to think of her as a real person. If she makes Minneapolis a stop on her road trip than I'll be there!

Hope you're having a great vacation Laurie! Kim

 

[MommaPew]

Just home from a Dinner & Cruise with work and doing some last minute packing and painting my toes I'm so excited hope I can sleep tonight!

Kim - did you get a chance to try CLX yet? I didn't pack anything for Cathe to autograph but figured there will be something for me to buy that I could get her to sign I'm looking forward to see how different she looks or sounds "live". Oh, my camera is packed so I'll have lots of pics! Any theme for the b.d. cake? Will the house be inundated with kids?

I'm not taking my laptop so I won't be back until Monday.

Have a great weekend

I'm so jealous Patricia! I was the web cam yesterday and was trying to spot you, LOL. I'm anxiously awaiting the tour info if she visits Minneapolis, DH agrees we'll so a family weekend down there. It's about a 9 hr drive and lots of fun stuff there for everyone.

No exercise for me at all this week. But I did tons of hiking/swimming while camping and came back 2 lbs lighter we should camp more often.

Thursday was busy with cleaning house/camper/garden and making the brithday cake. I made a dirt cake in a beach pail, oreo cookie crumbs to make it look like dirt and then I put gummy worms in it. Turned out well. Then Thursday evening my sister came over to drop off her kids (headstart to the party on Friday) and I told her that Disney came out with some new offers for the fall when we're going on our trip. So we spent a lot time plugging in options. So we ended up switching hotels (nicer) and got free dining for the whole trip.

The birthday party went well. I decided to do it on a Friday as people don't like giving up their Saturdays in the summer time. So most of the kids were here all day (instead of daycare) as their parents were at work. DH and I took 6 girls to BUild a Bear, lots of fun! Then with all the boys (brother and cousins) we had 10 kids for lunch/cake. The boys didn't want to go to build a bear as it was too girly which was fine as it was expensive enough!

Ok, I think I will finally go start CLX and then we will head to to the cottage later (ds wants to see the football game on tv first). DH and my BILS are to build a new dock this weekend as per my mom's instructions Will probably be home Monday and then back to work Tuesday!

Hope you're all enjoying your time away!!

Waving Hi from CATHEDOM

I don't think there is one part of my body that isn't "feeling" it. Fri we did a 1/2hr step class followed by 1/2 UB w/o then dinner and some stretching.

Today started off with 1hr step class (so fun as my fav) then 1hr Bootcamp, some time for Q&A with Chris, lunch and 1hr of a leg blast.

Off to dinner shortly. I'm still trying to decide if I'll do the Kickbox class tomorrow. Most likely will (especially since I bought Kickmax (and a few others) today. Losts of t-shirts / tanks purchased too. Will take pics of my haul next week.

My roommie has been wonderful and even got to carpool instead of taking the bus today.

Hot, hot, hot here too!

Kim - sounds like a busy but fun day yesterday. I think you might have been able to see me for the Bootcamp at 11ish as I was near the webcam but I've been hiding from it! Got a great pic of me with Cathe after step class. Both SWEATY..

Waving hi to Laurie - hope you enjoyed your vacation!

Off for dinner now.
