Damage Controlling on a SUNDAY w/ Insanity!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

Well...I bailed on the party last night Dh kept asking me "so when can I expect you....you have to come....." blah, blah! And in my mind I was thinking..."yeah, we will see about that"! I lay down with DS, doozed off for a bit but not enough to feel the need to get ready and go anywhere.

Man, I am making alot of spelling mistakes! Ugh! So I finished decorating the tree last night. I had to buy 600 more lights...so there should be a 1000 on there now and new ribbion b/c its so thick. I took some pics and put it on FB but I don't think you can really tell how big it is. One of those things where you need to see it in person.

I am hoping to do a full body weight workout and cardio this a.m. I woke up before 6 for some reason and DH wasn't in bed. So I lay there...thinking about where he could be. I knew where he was...just wanted to make sure. He fell asleep down stairs by the wood stove. I kinda figured thats where he was. So I just decided to stay up. I slept good and I feel good.

Wendy** Did you get your PC fixed?? I need to get my hair done as well but I will probably just do it myself. I hate going to get it done. Its not that I hate it but I have to leave it wet when I leave b/c its pointless for anyone else to try and style it and when I decide to go...i want to go RIGHT NOW...not 2 weeks from now! LOL So who can accomidate that? Especially this time of year! So I will probably just pick up a color myself or a high lighting kit and spruce myself up! Its when I want something different done or anything to the back of my head (hahaha) thats when I HAVE to go! I love having a real tree in the house. Its what we grew up with. I love the smell and the mess doesn't really bother me either. Its more of a pain when there are gifts under there and I have to move them to water the tree.

Jacque** Thats alot of people for Christmas! I am trying to decide if I should have brunch here again this year. Last year I had a lot of people here for brunch but I made everything. I must have had 6-7 different dishes, all made the night before but needed to be baked in the a.m. It was alot of work but fun. We did it on Boxing day last year but I am working this year so if i do it, it will have to be later.
Thats such a sad story about the 15 yrs old! Kids are getting into stuff that they don't even understand the circumstances! DD told me the other day that one of her friends had sex and now she thinks she is pregnant. At first I got a little sick about it but then she told me she only had sex once and that she used protection...so what are the chances? Very slim. But she doesn't know that and Im not about to brush it off with DD. I remember when I was seeing DD's (so called) dad and I use to think I was pregnant all the time! LOL We just had this understanding that if you had sex, you got pregnant, end of story. But its alot harder then they think it is. SO....if she used protection AND only had sex once...she is probably making all of her symptoms up! Kids these days!

Diana** Did you finish your decorating? Yesterdays workout was just a straight run so nothing for you to mimic! LOL Im not sure if I spelled that word right or not. I love my tree! It is a little messy, especailly with DS tugging on the branches Im glad we don't spend alot of time in this room b/c if we did that thing would be bare by the end of the week!

So yesterdays workout was a 7.3 mile run. Off to the basement to get my workout started! I have a few errands to do at work today so I am hoping to get them done before the crazy shoppers head out! I heard a man talking to his wife like trash yesterday in walmart. Of course she was meek and mild, just like anyone who lets there husband treat them like that. I think he was irritated b/c the place was so packed that he just wanted to leave. Everytime she put something in her cart he asked what it was for and why she was buying it. We left the aisle at the same time and we were headed in the same direction but I was in the opposite aisle and he was pushing his cart about 30 miles an hour so I decided to veer over in his lane and slow down He wouldn't get away with talking to me the way he was talking to her.....but then they disappeared!

BBL!

Good Morning Girls. Happy Sunday!

I personally prefer Saturdays to Sundays but a day off is a day off, right? So I'm lovin' my hair! At first I wasn't exactly sure about it but now I really like it. She used to different colors to hilite and it's a big difference. Lots of highlites. Some thick. Some thin. Very bold looking. Really stands out. I usually go for more of a toned down look but I told her that if I am gonna do this after waiting this long (I've been talking about it for atleast a year!), then I'm REALLY gonna do it!

In addition to the new hair, I am now seriously considering going to get my belly button re-pierced....THIS MORNING!!!!!!! I had it done about a year prior to getting together with DH and had to take it out about 6 months before we got married in order to have a surgical procedure done. Well, I couldn't get it back in myself and never got my butt to a shop to have it put back in so the hole closed on me. I have been talking about getting it re-pierced for a while now but didn't want to do it until I was done having kids. Well, as far as I am concerned, I'M DONE, so I'm going for it!

Today's work out is X Legs & Back or an appropriate substitute depending on what I am in the mood for. I just can't do the same work out for 12 weeks straight, you know? Finally got around to doing MIST yesterday at about 5pm. Consequently we didn't eat dinner until almost 7 but that's okay cause I actually wasn't STARVING!!!! My new schedule with the job I have now doesn't get me in the door at home until 545 or even 6pm. As a result dinner i not until 630-700 depending. Well I have adjusted my eating and am getting used to it now so I am almost never starving when it's time to eat. I might actually be able to go to my mom's for dinner now with out wanting to eat her out of house n home by 6pm! LOL

Okay, that's an awful lot of babble there ^^^^. I'll shut up now!

Lori: Saw your tree on FB last night. Very pretty. Not taking any pics of my tree. You would laugh!

Jacque:: Are you trying to say that I'm an alcoholic!?! LOL Actually, for my 25th Birthday I went out to a club with a date and my VBF and her husband and me and VBF were doing shots. I think we did 4 shots over the course of the evening. We were pretty plastered (hit me harder then VBF though!) and couldn't figure out why it hit us so hard. Come to find out from VBF's hubby that the bartender was pouring us double shots so in actually we had 8 plus whatever drinks we had!!!! Yeah, I puked 3x that night! I have long since grown out of the drink til you puke stage though. Last time I yacked when within the first 6 months of dating DH. He brought me his best friend's house for a Halloween party and I drank "donkey punch" and some beer. I got wasted FAST! DH then DBF had to drag me out of there with in 3 hours (by midnight!) cause he knew I was in bad shape. Good thing he did too cause no sooner did he get me into his house then I started puking! It was so bad that he had to throw me in the shower before putting me to bed cause I had thrown up all over myself! Those were the days, I tell ya! LOL

Diana:: OOOOHHHHH, I love mojitos! I discovered them on a cruise a few years back. Good stuff. DSIL has since learned how to make them so we drank them last summer on vacation. She would make them by the pitcherful! You've never been in your Costco's liquor store???? Wow, I would raid it monthly if ours had one! LOL Yeah, we are having a bad run of luck around here these days with everything breaking on us. Not a good end to the year for that among other reasons. It's okay though. I'll muddle on through it and start fresh for 2010!

Okay, that's enough for this novel!

BBL to complain about how much by belly button hurts!

Hey Girls!

I had a good workout this a.m but I didn't get to do what I wanted to. I had one flight today and it wasn't suppose to be until 12:45. I took a look at the computer and it was scheduled in for 4:44 a.m which was long past. Just before I started my workout I looked again it was left, scheduled in at 9:45...really cramping my style! LOL So I had to be in the shower by 8:30. I ended up doing abs, CC# 6 and 4DS shoulders. I may do the rest of my UB tonight but chances are...I will save it for tomorrow.

Wendy** DH is gonna think you are going through a early midlife crisis! haha! New hair....new belly!! Does he like belly rings? I did mine about 5 yrs ago now. I use to have it done before and when the lady starting getting ready to do it she could feel a small lump in the skin. She said that it was a trapped infection and that I probably should be getting my belly button done to get rid of the blood! WELL! It hurt sooooo much!! AND BLEED Soooooo much! When I was pregnant with DS I took it out but I guess b/c of the stretching skin, the hole never grew over. The only thing I don't like is that the skin has gotten smaller so the belly rings are always to long. I can never find one with a smaller stem! I had a ring in it for a while but lost that when I was running Let us know what you decide to do!!!! Good luck!!!

Morning ladies !

Well after taking about an hour to read the posts below (serious babbling going on here girls - course I never do that to you, right? ) I am hoping to get more accomplished today. Y'day was floors, SIL's pants and since I had my sewing machine out, made DGS1 a pillow using a "GO SHARKS" towel we got last year at the playoffs. Came out cute but took more time than I had anticipated. Got down my Xmas "stuff" (meaning I GOT IT DOWN) and deco'd about 2/3 of the house. The tree never made it in - sent DH to deposit his hockey league funds but that's about all he could accomplish ! Never did my work work or workout so after here will be my spreadsheets and then off to the stores as one of my nephews is having a BDay party tonight. At least I won't have to fix dinner. Hope to make that gathering short and get back here for more. Need to do my laundry BIG TIME.

So there is my babbling - can payback be H3!! ? ? ? Actually I love chatting with you ladies so please kmow that I am joking. I am social to no end but am kinda outta my old loop and don't want to get in tight with my work crowd since I'm HR and have loads of "backstabbers" around, unfortunately. Have a few I chat with at work but will keep it at work only.

Lori - good for you for doing what you needed - so nice to hear you crashed with DS, ahhhhh, never again for me but possibly with GS's one of these days . . . Whoa so hope your DD's friend is not PG. Hopefully she really did use protection. I always thought my DD would get PG since she is so rebellious but as good as she is with kids (they absolute love her cuz she is so adorable, funny and playful) she has many friends with kids and is not anywhere looking for that soon. TG for that ! Love love love your tree - it is beautiful. Yep, fat is the first thing I said to myself ! LOL ! I'll take a pic of mine when it is done - hopefully today ! Like the ribbon idea . . . am heading for Costco in a bit so will check them out.

Wendy - LOL but I had to put the "shot" comment in there ya know? I never was much of a drinker other than beer but do remember a few college parties - missed one of the best drinkin' rum & cokes. First and last time for that as I lay on the mow strip outside that house and had friends visit me out there ! I was lucky my BF was a non-drinker. I don't do hard liquor much at all any more, the occasional margarita but I prefer limes vs the mix cuz it is too sweet for me. Yea right . . . and I drink Mike's you say? Well, that is an addiction I say ! Are ya gonna post a pic of your new doooooo? I'd love to see it. Hope the belly ring didn't hurt too much. I'm more old fashioned on that stuff and will do no more than pierce my ears (only once) and no tats for me either. I am fine with others doing it, just not me. It would look awfully funny to have someone see my belly pierce and then when I bent over see the elephant skin with a ring on it ! Ha ! Thank goodness it isn't that wrinkly when I stand up !

Diana - Well Sharks lost again so am thinking pretty soon the Avs will be ahead of them if they aren't already. I remember the first time I had mojitos - my kids director had a BDay party and made them - super drink, especially in the hot weather, very refreshing . . . Glad you had a great time ! Did you get your deco'ing done y'day. The pillows sound adorable and just the right thing for the girls !

Time to stop my babbling and get to work - think the "foffee" is done - I NEED SOME TO GET MOVING !

Hi Girls.

Well I mixed it up again this morning and decided to add abs to the mix while I was at it so here's what I did:

GS Back
Insane Abs (each exercise from both cardio and floor one time thru to save time)
30 minutes of leg work using the valslides and dvd that came with it (I think I will be sore tmrw!!!)

The idea was to work each body part for 20 minutes but I definitely exceeded that on the legs so the w/o was a bit longer then intended. No big deal though. Got it all done!

Off shortly to get my bb done. I'm askeered! Probably more so of how it will feel later today/tonight rather then the act of piercing itself. The first time it HURT LIKE HELL a few hours after I got it done. The piercing itself was like NOTHING in comparison! Why do we put ourselves through this stuff? LOL Hey, I have 3 tattoos as well so you'd think I could answer that question but I can't! Well go ahead and keep your eyes peeled for a belly shot on FB. You KNOW I'm gonna hafta post a pic there when I get back home!

BBL!

Happy Sunday Ladies,

Another Saturday with no workout to report. I basically lazed around all day...excuses..excuses I know. I did get laundry done but that's about it.
Will try again for today, upper body and cardio. My legs are still very sore from heavy leg day which was Thursday. I'm kind of struggling with my workouts since I'm not following a rotation. They are kind of hit or miss lately.

So far this morning I've gone through my emails and need to do some online shopping for the kids. I may just run to target and see what they have. The house did not get cleaned yesterday but DH is going to get the kids started after the Bronco game. Obviously they listen to him much more than they listen to me.

Lori-I saw your xmas tree on FB and it looks beautiful! I do miss the fresh xmas tree scent though. Your walmart story makes me a little sad for the wife. No one deserves to be talked to like that. Being a young mother yourself I'm sure you are extra cautious where your daughter is concerned. It sounds like she has an open relationship with you which is really good. Hopefully her friend has that kind of relationship with her own mom.

Wendy-So your workout is done also....I need you and Lori's motivation. Good luck with your BB piercing. I've had mine done for about two and half years. I just remember it hurting when they did it, it didn't really hurt afterwards. No one ever really sees mine besides DH, but I did it for me so it's okay. DH would laugh when he saw me with a shot glass covering my piercing. I used a shot glass for the sea salt water soak. It may sound funny but it worked great. BTW, your hair looks great.

Jacque-Hope you are able to get your decorations up. I hope to get some of mine up today too. Are you working out today? I really need to get back on track. With all the early meetings I have scheduled through the end of the year, I can't afford to be missing my weekend workouts. I am looking forward to starting STS in January though. If it's nice enough I'll be running on the cardio days in preparation for the March HM.

Jen-Jen-where have you been lately missy? Hope all is well with you.

Have a great day ladies.

Hi ladies,

Well I finally worked out!! I ended up doing MM upper body premix, KPC, and ab jam abs. I feel great too.

Now I'm on to housecleaning, showering and shopping.

bbl

 

[Sunshine1528]

Just a drive by for me to say my shopping is done (check), house decorated (check) starting on the tree and that may be all I get done today since we have the BDay party at 6.

I'm happy with that though - hoping the rain subsides a bit so I can set up outside - not sure though. Hate that it's not done cuz by next weekend it will be late and I dislike putting them up just to take them down soon after. BUt then again with Xmas here this year it would be sad not to have them up. We'll see how work goes cuz not only is it very chilly and dark when I get home, but I've had "homework" lately. Went to do my work this AM but didn't run my reports correctly so will be off to work early tomorrow.

Workouts you ask? I want to, but have so many other deadlines to pull off that those are what I'm putting on the back burner right now. Body feels OK and could do something . . . Hopefully soon.

Wendy - hope the BB is feeling OK - can you take a Tylenol?

Diana - sounds like you did well today - hope your house gets cleaned!

K - time to get started again . . .
