Morning Coolers,

Had a great weekend, really wonderful weather. Made it to the graduation on Friday with plenty of time to spare. My niece was happy to see us, don't know what emotion my nephew had. LOL :D I'm just happy he finally graduated. No workouts for me this weekend, but this morning was 40/20 and 1:1 Killer Abs. Will get in Disc 16 Chest, Shoulders & Triceps after church tonight.

Patricia, Did you get a bite on the house? LOL about what your DS said about the people looking at the house.

Kim, WTG on those Insanity workouts, I felt the same way. Very nice cabinets.

Have a great day!

Just back from another win at BB. I'm very happy with my playing tonight and the team felt like we played cohesively right from the start. So we're 4-0 todate. I'll miss Fri. night's game as I'm driving to the City for the weekend. No bites on the house yet, but not expecting anything to come from this buyer at the earliest Wed night. Our agent is going to hold another open house this weekend if needed.

Laurie - good to hear you had a great weekend. Where do you find the energy for those a.m. workouts:eek::cool:

Kim - great to see DH joining you in your Insanity:D Hopefully I guilted DH enough from reading my post last night (he actually made up some of the comments about him:D) that he start up again. Even just going for a walk at night would be an improvement:mad:
 
Quick post from me. Just finished Insanity, DH joined me again. The Grades 4-6 had their spring concert at the school tonight. So it was a busy evening. Tomorrow is the Grade 7 and 8 band concert at the school, so back again:rolleyes:

That's alot of working out Laurie! You sure seem to go steady with the workouts with rarely time away!
 
Morning Coolers,

KPC minus the Ab work for me this morning. :D Didn't get the weight workout finished last night, almost forgot that youngest DD had a dance practice. She has her recital on Saturday, so we will not have practices anymore. We will be signing her up for some summer classes, but there will not be a recital at the end. Her teacher said that she can start point classes in the Fall, so she is really excited about that.

Patricia, Congrats on the BB wins, you all are really getting the bats going when you need to. Crossing my fingers that you get the house sold, and that stress is finished for you too.

Kim, My DH isn't doing to much for exercise, but he really needs to do something before he has to get into his faire outfit. He has gained a little weight since last year, so maybe I will see if he wants to get on the treadmill when I do my workout tonight. Have a great time at the concert.

Have a wonderful day.
 
All 3 concerts finished:D Managed to get my workout in late last night at least it was only the cardio recovery dvd. I'm actually off work today and tomorrow. Tomorrow DH has someone coming to do a few repairs jobs on the house that he didn't want to attempt. Today I have to get out and do some errands like groceries and will try and pick up a father's day gift and gifts for the teachers. The garden has finally dried out from last weekend's downpour and so hopefully will get the cucumbers planted (that's the only thing not in the garden yet) and some weeding done. Of course will get my Insanity workout in. So should be a busy day.

When are your girls finished school Laurie? What will they do over the summer? When I was getting my hair done last weekend there was lots of little girls getting their hair done for their dance recitals, so cute!
 
Morning Coolers,

Got in the weight workout last night, and that one is a goodie. This morning was a Interval treadmill workout that I got from Fitness mag, and Coremax #3.

Tonight is dance rehearsal, so I don't think I will be getting anything else done, really wanted to get in the Leg workout. Will see how I feel after the rehearsal.

Kim, LOL on getting all those concerts seen. :D Our DD's are finished with schoold on the 10th, but the oldest has finals next week so she really only has half days. Both girls will be going to summer school :(, the oldest is making up a class from last year. Youngest just didn't have a good year, and I'm thinking some of it might have to do with her medical issues. She is anemic, and I think that she has been a little more tired than we thought. Hope you those cucumbers in, just love eating those fresh.

Have a wonderful day,
 
Evening Coolers

Just finished up the timesaver pre-mix of MM. DS had his 1st T-Ball game tonight too. He hit well and knows to run the bases with out being yelled at:p Off to the City for the weekend after work tomorrow. Might try to get some walking in but will see. Agent just called to say there is a showing tomorrow at 10am + he is doing another Open House on Sat. Sure making him work! DH and DS will be spending the weekend with out me as I'm helping my sister at a craft show. She likes to make jewellery out of glass so needed help manning a table.

Kim - you're ahead of me on the teacher's gift. I was thinking about a T.Horton's g.c. What do you think? I've already bought Father's day cards at least! Have fun gardening. I so don't have a green thumb:p:p My neighbour is Italian though so he gives me lots of zucchini every year:p

Laurie - funny about keeping track of all the extra curricular activities. I've just updated the calendar and between my BB and DS's there isn't much room left to schedule anything else in. I guess it's lucky DH doesn't do anything:eek:
 
So your son is taking after you with the love of baseball! He's almost his first year of school! I think a Timmy's gift card is a great gift. I've often given a Chapters giftcard. I figure they must read as they're teachers and have the summer to do it. Good luck with the showings! The house sure gets lots of viewings.


Laurie, are the girls upset about having to do summer school? Hopefully they still have time to do some fun stuff. Trying to find some stuff for ds to do as he's too old for a daycare/camps but too young too work.

Tried to watch Jillian Michael's new show but had to turn in off. The couple was in tears talking about their infant son who had died. It just sounded so similar to our son's death, that I couldn't watch it. The pain really never goes away and can come out of the blue sometimes.
 
Morning Coolers,

Today was Disc 16 Legs, and that will be it for me. DH turned 50 today, so we are going out to dinner. :D

Patricia, Have a good time with your sister. Hey you need to sell that house, and I'm sure the agent wants his money too. :D Keep him working. LOL Sounds like a bb player in the making.

Kim, So sorry that you had to go through that. :( The girls don't seem to mind going to summer school, and they are only in the class from 7:30 to 9:30 am. The only problem with them being in the classes, we have to postpone vacation until August. We plan on going to visit my parents for a week, my girls have never seen the sites in northern Wisconsin before. :D

Have a great day!
 
It's rest day! I finished 3 weeks of Insanity!

Happy Birthday to your DH!! Where did you go for supper?

Have fun with your sister Patricia!

We had some workmen that came in yesterday and again today to do some projects that DH didn't want to tackle for getting the house ready for sale. It's weird having them here all day (kids' had no school so they were home too). Because there are a number of projects around this house, I didn't know where to go. DD and I ended up in the backyard weeding for a couple of hours. Feels strange to sit and relax (read/watch tv) while they're working so hard. So besides weeding, I also cleaned the oven, and scrubbed spots on the carpet:rolleyes:

It'll be nice to have things done as some of them have bugged me for years. A closet door that broke but it's a custom size so hard to replace. DH did the laminate floors but wasn't sure how to do the baseboards on some of the rounded corners. A hole in the drywall that DH patched but had never drywalled before so didn't look right. Replacing a basement pot light fixture. Stuff like that.

Today is the dd's last piano lesson, got the teacher a little gift.
 
Morning Coolers,

Today was a 3 mile run. Will probably get in some type of yoga work later today. Oldest DD is still running at state, they qualified for the finals in both the 4x100 and 4x400. The running should just be starting now. Don't know that they will be winning, but hoping they place in the top 8 in each event.

Youngest dance recital is this afternoon, and she is getting ready for that. Probably why I have time on the computer right now, no one but her and I this morning. :D

Tomorrow is our first rehearsal for our Ren Guilde, hopefully we will not be getting any rain.

Kim, That is great to get all those little projects finished, we have a window that probably needs replacing. I know DH can do that, but he keeps putting things off. :rolleyes: Sit and relax, they are getting paid to do all that work. LOL :D

Have a great day!
 
Morning Cooles

Well, have to come to work to get a rest:D Drove to the City Fri. night to help my sister man her craft booth on Sat. Standing on your feet ALL day is a workout for your core b/c I was feeling it Sun:p I feel asleep on the couch by 9:30 I was so tuckered. Sat. up and picked up some bathroom tile for a neighbour to bring back here, then drove north to the cottage and primed our bedroom. Didn't get home until after 8 and just got ready for the work week and straight to bed:D DH and DS for the weekend. They spent Sat. at the cottage, then drove over to his parent's cottage and spent the night then back to our cottage to do more work.

We had quite a few people through our house on Sat. and 2 of them came back Sunday. We have a showing today too so maybe something will happen this week. Boy was I ticked at DH when we got home last night. I asked him to make sure he left the house in order on Sat. Well, the first thing I see when I come in the house, ALL the curtains are closed! I go downstairs, the blinds are closed and the blanket on the couch was all in disarray from being used on Friday night, rather than being neatly folded. I was sooo furious. With an open house the curtains need to be open to let lots of light in.. Men are just so thoughtless:(:eek:

KIM - LOL about fixing things now for OTHER people. Why do we do that? I always feel guilty sitting when the cleaners come in. I don't know why? I'm paying them and if I wasn't sick or home with a sick kid I'd be working too! I can only imagine what can bring back reminders of your lost. Once I became I Mother I became soo emotional over stuff that I never did before. I bought for DS's teacher a glass pendant that my sister made. Figured that wouldn't be something she'll have gotten before. I was using that as my sales pitch too, except some people had male teachers to buy for:eek:

Laurie - did you get anything special for DH's 50th? I have a hard enough time buying for a "regular" b.d. let alone such a milestone. How did your both of your DDs do this weekend? Atleast going to school will help them from saying "I'm bored" after the 1st week:D

Off to the dentist later today. I'll have to find a new one this summer. Hopefully my family doctor will take us back.
 
Morning Coolers,

Disc 28 Chest & Back was the workout for me this morning. Probably will not get anything else in today, have to get to church tonight.

Both of oldest DD's relay teams came in 10th, so they didn't metal, but still did really good. Youngest DD did a super job at her recital, and her teacher will be instructing her in pointe next year also. So she has graduated to the next level for dance, and of course she is very excited. I don't know how one could enjoy standing on your toes! :eek:

Patricia, Oh so sorry that your house wasn't seen in it's best light. :( Hopefully the buyers will just see how great the house is. You really did have a busy weekend, and that is how I felt after our faire rehearsal. I couldn't keep my eyes open after we got home last night. I really didn't get DH anything for his b'day, I'm planning on giving him a big party after faire is over with. I just can't count on him being available on a Saturday or Sunday with faire going on.

Have a wonderful day!
 
Just plugging away with work and Insanity. Nothing much new here. Went on a nice family outing yesterday to a historical fort/national park a little out of town.

Patricia, isn't that such a male thing to do, LOL. I'm sure the buyers could see past it! I would think that the real estate agent might have opened the blinds. I'm sure the teacher will love the pendant, it's a very thoughtful gift. What a busy weekend for you! You never seem to get much time to just go to the cottage and relax.

Laurie Lots of exciting times for your dds! Such a busy time of year with all the activities going on.
 
Morning All

Just as I was finishing up High Step Training last night we got the call that we had an offer on the house:) Don't hold your breath though. They REALLY low-balled us so we counter-offered and then they wanted to sleep on it. So we will see what happens today. They came 3xs to look at the house. Yesterday I know they went to their bank to arrange bridge finiancing as they have not listed their house but they're ready to buy! They're a young couple with 2 small kids and they brought their in-laws to see it the 3rd time. The MIL really likes it, the FIL is the one that needed convincing; but I guess he got convinced last night.

Back to my w/o. - the one w/o of Cathe's that I use more risers and heavier weights than her:D It was just right for me last night as I'm having a hard time feeling motivated to w/o these days. Just in sort of a slump from being all stressed out about this friggin house!:eek::rolleyes:

Sounds like life is going just fine with everyone else.
 
Morning Coolers,

Moved my Wed workout to today, just will not have enough time to get in a long workout tomorrow morning. STS Disc 37 Squat Rack Legs. Dang are my legs sore right now, really feeling it in the butt and outer thigh. :eek: Really enjoyed the fact that there where no low ends, the rest breaks where a little long, but I understand that it is necessary. :D

Kim, WTG on the Insanity. Will you be interested in Turbo Fire? The more I see of those workouts, the more I want them. :eek: Sounds like a nice outing you had with the kids.

Patricia, Hope they take your counter offer! WTG on the workout, another workout I have not attempted in a very long time. :eek:

Have a great day!
 
Morning Coolers,

Hiit Double Wave Pyramid and ARX where my workouts this morning. Didn't have a chance to get it in last night. :( Oh well, and don't think I will have a chance tonight to get anything additional, have a hair appt.

Only 1-1/2 more days of school for my DD's, and I have never seen such happy girls before. :eek: :D

Have a wonderful day!
 
Morning All

Took DS to his BB last night. Games are at 6 or 6:45. He is usually in bed by 7:30 or so so the 6:45 games make for a "late" night for him. I've had to start giving him baths in the a.m. which is working out okay b/c lately he has been wanting "wacky hair". He likes it when I put mousse in his hair and make it stand up straight. It's all the rage right now at daycare to come in with wacky hair:D

Late workout for me. I did MMA KB and feel it in my legs today.

I'm taking the "girls from work" out for dinner and movie tonight. I think we're going to see Robin Hood.

I also got organized and sent DS with his teacher's gift today and gave out thank-you gifts to the 2 women who work with me. Bought a b.d. gift for another party DS got invited to for this weekend and picked up all his b.d party supplies for his b.d. His b.d. is July 5th so have to get the invites out early b/4 school ends.

Laurie - thanks for a reminder about the hair appt! I need to book one last visit b/4 we move. I don't think I'll go back to my last hair dresser when we move so will have to look for a new one later this summer. The Buyer refused our counter-offer. We want them to meet us somewhere in the middle and it doesn't sound like they will. So another open house this weekend.:mad:
 
Finished my Insanity workout for the day, 2 more workouts then recovery week! Not that I'm counting or anything:rolleyes: Ready for some new workouts next month. Laurie, I've heard about Turbo Fire but haven't looked into them. I'm supposed to be saving some money with the whole house thing going on so don't want to get tempted.

Patricia, I'm sorry that the offer didn't work out. Are there any conditions on the purchase of your new home to do with the sale of your old one?

LOL on the wacky hair. How cute! Was that your first time doing MMA KB? Did you like it?

Laurie Do you have a squat rack? I used a weighted vest to do those workouts as I didn't have a squat rack. The best part is the few reps.:D I bet the girls are excited, we have a few weeks left.

I have to cover the burn unit tomorrow including the ICU. The 3 therapists that work up there are all going to the World Burn Survivor Conference which is actually being held in our city. I hate covering the burn unit, just such a terrible place.
 
Hey Coolers

Don't know whether to say Good Evening or Good Morning. I can't sleep. Must have been that coffee I had with the strawberry cheescake at dinner tonight:p Had a great time out this evening and I highly recommend seeing Robin Hood. Russell Crowe is divine and we even get to see him with out a shirt! Yum yum:D:p

Kim - We didn't make our house purchase conditional. The market down there is just too hot. Even if we did, we probably only could have held it for a few weeks. You know, our house is set at the right price, on the right street. I think this Buyer is just playing games trying to see how low we will go. We only want him to come up $5-15k which isn't much. We will meet him in the middle. I have done MMA KB before and like it, except that the 3rd combo is SOOOO short. I wonder what happened there in her planning. Hopefully you won't be too busy at work. I hear you on it not being the most fun floor to work on I'm sure:(
