Coolers on a Conservative Wednesday

[cab0899]

Well Stephen Harper is PM again, that's ok with me. Canada had the lowest voter turnout in history. Not surprising as this election seemed so low key. There were 6 candidates on my ballot, I had only heard of 3 of them I don't have a clue what the PPP party is, and the communists ran a candidate in this area, who knew.

Still no paper today, it's looking like it's going to be a long strike. Yesterday my whole morning routine was disrupted, first no newspaper and then I left for work, and the car was covered in ice! It was -4 outside, of course I had no idea where the scraper was put last spring, I ended up late to work.

My workout is supposed to be KM but dd and I are going rockclimbing with one of her friends this evening. Should be fun! She did PUB with me last night!

Laurie Good for you getting the mammogram done! Did you get Plyo done??

Patricia Good to hear from you. I'm sure with a toddler, working full time and doing P90X, life is very busy for you! I'm glad that you had such a nice weekend at the lake, it was nasty cold at our lake, very little sitting outside.

Wendy I'm glad that the cold is slowly going, seems like it was nasty one. How did you hurt your back??

Jeanette Good thinking starting work early so you can golf while it's still light! Good luck at the dr's today.

I'm up early again. Going with DH to have his blood drawn for a routine test. This morning's workout was PUB up only premix. Tonite will be a short bike ride. The weather was just gorgeous yesterday and should be again today.

Kim, rock crawling sounds really fun! Have you done it before? Have a blast with your DD tonite! Sorry about no paper still. Hope that gets straightened out soon. Why are they on strike? Don't think I've ever heard of a newspaper on strike before.

Bye,

Morning All; got PlyoX done last night. Really had to talk myself into doing it and after 25min I just kept saying do another 5 and before I knew it I was done! (Well except for the bonus sports part - just not into that at all + I skip the Mary Katherines!)

Took DS with me to vote then we played at the park. Want to keep going outside while the weather is still somewhat warm. Can't get DH to vote.

Kim - I had frost on my windshield every am about a week ago and couldn't find my scaper of course so was late getting to work too. Found the scraper this weekend in the garage so I'm all set. We've only got down to about 5 at night and staying between 10 - 20's during the day but I'm sure that will be steadying going down now too. I was so disappointed to wake up to another Minority Conservative Gov't. I voted PC but was really hoping they would squeak out a majority. What a waste of $$$ Gee whiz, a paper on strike. I can't remember the last time I heard of that. Especially during the elections too! Hope it doesn't last long. Oh, have fun rock climbing tonight. I've done it once and really enjoyed it. Are you starting to convert a friend onto home fitness?

Jeanette - Yuk on having your physical but I guess its a necessary evil What I hate is not knowing how long the appt will be. With my old Dr I could sit for 1hr in her waiting room before I saw her AND I was on time. Funny how they hate when we're late but they don't give the same consideration back. Yeah, you have to convert to Celcius for me. I have always done pushups on my knees for YEARS and not progressing so I'm trying them on my toes as I've read that is the only way to progress, BUT yes I'm thinking of going back to my knees as obviously I'm aggravating my shoulder. I think its just tendonitis in my shoulder but now its travelling down to my hand and up my neck. PUB this morning too. Gee whiz I think I want your rotation as it sounds much more fun!

Laurie - Ouch on the mammogram. I've been lucky so far to avoid that procedure but I'm sure its on the horizon in the next year.

Wendy - I saw that hair thread and had to look up what a Brazilian hair treatment was. If I knew I was going to get a FANTASTIC hair cut/colour then I would pay the $$ but it just seems to me the price doesn't necessarily dictate the talent of the hairdresser. Luckily I have found a new hairdresser here that I don't have to go home and wash and re-style my hair afterwards. Can't tell you how many times I've done that in the past!

Ok got to bet to work.

Morning Coolers,

Todays workout was 5 miles of speedwork, and I'm going to be doing halfsies of P90X Shoudlers and Arms plus Abs after work. I didn't get the plyox workout in, so I'm thinking the 5 miles of running will take care of that one.

Kim, Dang on the paper! The rock climbing sounds like a great time. Your DD is working out with you, bet that is fun!

Jeanette, My hair appt went well, kept the same color and went shorter in the length. Will make sure I get DH to get pics up on my profile. Oldest DD was mad at me though, because I had to take her along with me. Her cc practice got out 5 min. before my appointment started. She read 30 pages in her book, so I feel some justification. Oh yes there will be no singing unless there is wine.

Patricia, Sorry I didn't work out with you last night, didn't get home from my hair appt until after 7pm. And I still had not eaten anything. Waiting 1hr for the doc is not fun! LOL! Only once did I have to wait for my doc, and that was because she was delivering a baby! So you don't like those Mary Katherines. LOL

Wendy, Did you see I didn't get that PlyoX workout in. LOL Hope the chiro can get your back straightened out. Lasagna sounds absolutley wonderful. Will look at the OD thread on hair. I love show tunes! I sing them all the time with the gay guys at faire. LOL!

Have a great day,
Laurie

Hi all! Sorry I haven't been around much, but like Patricia, haven't felt much like chatting. My motivation for everything has been sorely lacking lately! Anyhoo....just wanted to drop by and say hello. I may have time to catch up this afternoon...We'll see how my time goes.

I am still doing slow and heavy weight work...This week I am using Amy Bento's Slo-Mo....except for the legs...still going light with my achy hammie.

Hope everyone is doing well....Glad to see at least the Canadians know how to hold an election that doesn't last for 2 years!!!

Happy Hump Day to all!

I've been online to read, but didn't have enough time to post. Mr. Snap Crackle Pop stretched and loosened my left psoas and gluteus medias muscles before adjusting my lower back. Four pops and all was done. I go back next week for a 30 minute massage and if needed, an adjustment . No homeschooling today. We're going to put it off till Saturday since today is pretty much wasted. I just finished eating a tuna fish sandwich. I'm about to suit up for X+ Upper. I'm a bit excited to try it since previewing it quickly (fast forward skipping) in bed this afternoon. The cold is still lingering. It's dying a slow death.

Hi to All! I'll be back either before class or in the morning for personals.

Wendy
