Damage Control...Finally TGIF!

[Fit_mommy]

Morning Girls.

Today is a run as per the rotation so I'll be hangin' out w/Shaun! Not sure which Insanity I'll do yet. I'll pick one when I go in there...

Decided to get my haircut y'day. I was able to get a last minute appoinment so off I went after dinner. They always make my hair so shiny and smooth and feel so soft. IDK how they do it!

I was last to post y'day so I guess there's nothing more to say until someone checks in so I'll...

BBL!

Good Morning!

Another busy day is headed my way! I have a session at 7,3:30 and 5! DS has a Christmas concert at 10 (lunch and Santa is coming), I need to clean my house b/c the party is coming back here tonight, have stuff to pick up for MIL, snacks to make for the Christmas concert, workout myself hopefully and my work party tonight. I think I am going to have to cancel the 5 o'clock workout session (unless I am already to go to the party) AND Im not going crazy on the cleaning. So....this will probably be my only checkin until tomorrow.

Wendy** Christmas doesn't seem so crazy this year. DH isn't as busy at work and even when I run to walmart I am in and out. Its very odd. DH figures that people don't realize how close Christmas actually is.

Diana** Have you attempted a workout yet? LOL I didn't have the computer on my lap, it was resting on the bike and my hand was keeping it there so it wasn't moving. Got the job done though

Laura** I think everyone is in crazy mode. I have a pile of things I want to get done this weekend but with 2 parties and workout sessions its going to be tough. I should have went out last night and did some things after DS went to bed but I was to lazy....and it was to late! I couldn't get him in bed last night Hope today isn't so nuts!

Jacque** Apparently my sister sent my workout clothes to DH's store so I wouldn't get it Puh! I think that was Dh's doing's! LOL Hope you don't have to work today!!!

O.k....I MAY bbl..but Im not counting on it. Happy friday everyone!!!

TGIF - finally - WHEW I made it!

Morning ladies!!!

Well I survivied this week .. woohoo! Yes I went home and I FINISHED wrapping!! I am only waiting on ONE more package .. and it better get here b-4 Christmas ..UGH .. today I am going to get stocking stuffers for DH and my furbabies .. poor Buster has rumbled thru all the gifts trying to sniff out HIS .. poor baby we always get them a HUGE Cabellas dog toy/treat package .. and they didnt have them this year .. it has treats and toys ... and he SNIFFS it out every year .. got to find SOMETHING to substitute it .. LOL!!

Wendy - kudos to you .. HTH you do INSANITY IN the MORNING is totally BEYOND my comprehension crazy wild energizer bunny girl!!!!! I got a lot of mine from MAIL order too .. you better get to wrapping girl .. time is running thin!!!

Lori - wow .. now your day today sounds like my days here lately!!! Hope you get everything in .. and have fun too!!!! it is WILD shopping here .. and wrecks all over ... would hate to have to get out there this weekend .. bet it will be a madhouse!!!

Di - hoping you're healing nicely!!!!!! when are the DGB's coming??? I know you are excited!!! how fun .. they will be REALLY fun this year!!

Jacque - Hope you are at home today having a GREAT day .. hope your game turned out good last night ..

OH .. and the eye infection .. WORSE ... stupid @$$ me .. decided I would try a tip I saw on GMA about mascara application .. HA .. they said to take the brush at the bottom of the lashes and wiggle it around to get a good bottom coat and seperation of the lashes .. HA >> NOTE TO SELF .. when you barely have lashes - you wear contacts - you have an active eye infection DO NOT TRY THIS .. the result is a huge black BLOB of mascara that coated the upper, middle, inner eye lid .. not to mention contacts on creates a HUGE MESS on the eye .. and the contact .. and DID NOT HELP the eye infection at all .. I look like someone bopped me in the GOOD EYE another blonde moment .. will NOT be trying that again!!!!

OK . . have a great one!! and workout for me .. will not get one today either .. but tomorrow I have Intensity IN FULL on tap .. and SUN I have STS TB on tap and hopefully by next week my new BH KB workouts will be in gonna do a Cathe/BH rotation

Good morning ladies !

Well I am off today and heading up to help DIL pack - guess she is watching her infant nephew a couple days a week and with the boys also, has not been able to pack enough for the move tomorrow.

Last night turned out to be the sushi BD dinner for MIL & SIL. I got home at 5:30, chatted with DH, looked at the clock and remembered I hadn't called to find out if it was happening. So by 6:15 I was happily drinking a CAB and eating sushi while enjoying a "girl's night out" with MIL and SIL's. Fun for sure. No workout to be posted but after my day at work I'm OK with that !

Tonight next door neighbors are having a holiday GTG with CABs and hors d'ouevres. Yummy ! ! ! and I don't have to drive very far !

Wendy - ITA with your suggestion of shorter workouts right now. I was feeling pretty good with 30 - 45 min of alternating this past couple of weeks. I remember doing Insanity in the AMs when they came out but these days I am so creaky in the AM. Seems to take me an hour for the crotchety feeling to go away. Don't like winter at all for that reason. Good idea getting a temp rated flat iron. Have you tried morrocan oil yet?

Lori - busy busy busy bee . . . Are your clients making progress? (other than the one who won't change her nutrition plan?) Are you enjoying doing it? LOL at the computer and the elliptical. Actually, I thought about putting a board over the handrails on my TM and setting my work laptop there. Multitasking is a good thing as long as you are paying attention I guess. I would only walk though . . . LOL at your workout gear going to DH's work - in cohorts those two are, huh?

Diana - good to hear you are doing much better and hope your UB workout went well. LOL - oh, the balancing act . . . I had a walker cast so didn't have that problem. Good for you to get DS to take you shopping - hope you didn't overdo it, but at least you got up and around for a little walk. Thanks for the heads up on the temp for hair. I will turn mine down and see how it works. The coloring has changed the makeup of my hair quite a bit from how it used to be. I always use loads of conditioners and oils to coat it these days. Tried the gel and dry thing the other day and it ended up sticking straight out like bozo by the time I got home from the store. Then DH said he liked it? WTH? He called it curly but it was really a frizz mop.

Laura - Good job getting everything wrapped y'day and a rest week will be good -I bet it won't be an entire week anyway. A little time off when you have other things to do never hurts - you don't want to run yourself ragged and get sick. Sorry for the eye problems - I put a touch of mascara on my lower lashes but the are pretty long - I do just drag it back and forth but very lightly and start a bit away from the eyelid - I have dark eyelashes though. Hope the day goes OK for you on the window today.

Off to wash the dirty hair and go play with the kids . . . er . . . pack I mean.

Lori:: Holy cow! Now that's a busy schedule! See, I couldn't handle that. I'd be frustrated and overwhelmed before I even started my day and it would only get worse from there! If you only feel the need to reschedule your 5pm training session in order to get everything in then you are my hero! Have fun at the party!

Laura:: How do I do INSANITY in the morning? I don't think about it before hand! LOL It's all a mind game. I just throw the dvd in the player and press play and don't spend any time "considering" how bad the torture will be before hand! Once I got started it's no more painful of a work out then it would be if it were done later in the day. For me, it's the first few minutes of ANY work out that early in the morning that kill me. Once I'm "warmed up" though, I'm fine. Good job getting the wrapping done! Sorry about the eye. Hope you feel better soon! I will probably start wrapping this weekend. I need to open up all of the boxes to see what I have anyway so it'll be as good of a time as any!

Jacque:: Hey, why can't you go play with the kids at DIL's? If you entertain them then DIL will be free to pack right? So it's still very much helping her, right? Have not tried morrocan oil. What's the benefit? My hair is very fine though. It gets oily/greasy looking easily so anything that has the word OIL in it makes me nervous. I have a quality leave in conditioner made by biolage that I use but even THAT needs to be used very sparingly or I will look like a grease-bomb. Glad you had fun with the girls last night and have yet another night of fun to look forward to tonight! You've been bustin' your hump. You deserve some fun!

Hi ladies,

I stopped to do laundry in the middle of my post, and DS closed it. UGH

So I've spent my morning trying to reconcile my bank statement. I use quicken and have it auto reconcile. Well last time I downloaded my data, I was out of balance by more than $2000, kind of a lot to be out of balance, yikes. Well after not being able to find the error(s), I re-downloaded our bank transactions and it reconciled automatically. I can't believe it. What a waste of time.

I have still not worked out since my surgery. Maybe today will be better. Still planning GS C&T, we shall see. DS2 took me shopping yesterday and DS1 will be taking me out later today.

I get my laptop back today...WOO HOO!!! You never realize how much you use something until its gone. I miss it. DH takes over the computer when he gets home and that leaves me with TV only. The only bad thing is, I left the mouse in my laptop back at work, and I'm picking the laptop up from my coworkers house since he's on vacation. Oh well, I'm sure I can manage.

Wendy-nice w/o this morning! Shaun T. is an awesome w/o in the morning. I'm starting to feel guilty for not getting things done while I'm home. Jerod is out of school until after the holidays, so he can help me with some stuff next week.

Lori-You are a busy girl. ITA w/ Wendy, I'm stressed out just hearing about everything you have going on today. I do not miss the stresses of when my kids were younger. Hope you fit in everything you need to.

Laura-sorry about the eye, you poor thing. My granddaughters will arrive in 11 days, yes I'm counting them down. Don't feel bad, I haven't worked out either. I hope to change that today. I also haven't wrapped any gifts yet either. I don't like to wrap until DH has a chance to see what I've bought the boys.

Jacque-I use John Frieda Frizz-Ease on my damp hair, wrap it in a towel for a few minutes and then blow out and straighten. My hair tends to get frizzy so the frizz-ease keeps that from happening. The worst thing about a.m. w/o's is that I sweat so much and have to wash my hair. It looks as though you are getting in regular w/o's, short ones count you know! Hopefully I'll get back on the w/o wagon today.

Gotta run. Happy Friday Ladies!

Laura:: Thanks for the cyber Holiday wishes! Just opened the email a few minutes ago! The puppies are too darned cute!!

Diana:: That's the only thing about lap tops...the built-in mouse is a PITA and in order to effectively use a lap top ON ONE'S LAP, the built in mouse needs to be utlitzed and I hate it! Just one more reason my lap top sits on my kitchen counter! No worries about the work outs-you'll get 'em done when you are ready. Sorry about the check book frustrations. Atleast you balance yours! I haven't done that in a few years now! I just keep an eye on what's going on in my account online several days a week. Thanks re my work out. Doing Shaun is always a good time. Tee Hee.

OK .. on counter now .. UGH .. peeked in the thread .. of course we are busy .. the HAIR ?? well mine sounds like a cross between all of yours.. not straight .. not curly ...not thin but not super thick either - if I left it to dry on its own .. it would look like "bed head" just enough body to make it looks messy ... so MY FAV product is Rusk - Smoother - leave in conditioner - it is wonderful .. not heavy .. not oily .. I shampoo and condition my hair as usual .. towel dry a bit... put a nickle size dab of it in my palm ... finger it thru my hair all over ... and blow dry as usual .. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! it is light .. but smooths the frizz ... I tried the Frieda like you Di .. but OMG .. it was like glue on my hair too thick and oily ... and Wendy I like the biolage leave in conditioner it is good too .. but the Rusk smooths mine a bit better!!!

anyway .. that is my two cents worth ....

Hey ladies,

No workout yet, but had a successful shopping trip. Mostly groceries and some stocking stuffers for our stocking exchange.

No laptop either, UGH. It's ready but my coworker is doing a side job tonight and had to leave. I told him no problem, that DH and I will pick it up tomorrow. He says is running like brand new, of course there's nothing on it yet either. Since we pretty much use it for internet and email, no biggie.

Wendy-I'm not good using the built in mouse either, although I try to practice at home just so I can keep up with all my techie teammates. Many of them don't use a mouse at all and know all the short cut keys etc.

Laura-sounds like I need to check my email. Can't wait to see your babies!
