Damage Controlling w/insanity....Thursday!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

Wow...what a quiet bunch yesterday! Just the 2 of us! You girls must be busy, busy, busy getting ready for Santa. I need to make up my to-do-list and get that *hit done I have a couple of gifts left to get plus cards, also a few things for DS's stocking, like books and balls. All I really have in there are socks, chocolates (as if he needs them) and underwear (with the hope he will use them someday) Like when he is 9!

Not a whole lot of time on my hands this a.m. Usually I leave here around 9:15- 9:30, drop DS off (hair still wet cause it takes forever to dry) go to work and dry my hair. So I am usually working out between 7:30-8:30. I left work a little bit early yesterday to get our bosses gifts and while I was gone my coworker called and said 'we have company coming tomorrow morning at 9:30" Which meant that the new owners are coming at 9:30 So I need to be at work a little bit earlier today, with my hair done! LOL So I am up a little bit earlier to get my workout in. I did lie in bed for a while though contempleting sleep or workout

I also didn't go to bed the earliest either and we have out christmas party tonight. Im gonna be tired later!

Diana** Is the extended version of LM a premix? Or something you do yourself? Now you are giving me ideas I haven't done LM in a long time...but I think I have said a million x's that I haven't done step in a long time. I just don't feel like I am that coordinated in the a.m. I know I will going flying over my step. Atleast with running, I just put one foot in front of the other!

O.k...I may bbl! I will give you the scoop on the new owners. Should be an interesting day. I have tons to do at work and NOT at work so I will be able to keep myself busy no doubt!

Hey Ladies,

All the damage controllers must be super busy...not sure what happened to everyone.

No workout to report, my new windows are all in and they are working outside now. I took down all the drapes and valances and they and DS is taking them to the dry cleaners. I washed all my lace sheers and they are ready to being hung back up as soon as DH inspects everything when he gets home. It is really dusty in here after taking down the drapes. I figure we'll do a deep clean this weekend and my house will be perfect for xmas. I'm also going to look for some new drapes for Zach's and Jerod's bedrooms. Jerod's is floral, not really fitting for a teenage boy. When Cody had the room Zach is in now, he had his grandma make him some matching drapes for his room, but I can't seem to find the original drapes that were in there. Just as I'm typing, I think they may be in the basement.

I should've worked on my xmas cards today but didn't do much of anything but laundry, and supervise the window guys. I'm taking Sakeia and Angela's (my little niece & nephew) there gifts tonight. They will be going to their grandparents house for xmas.

Since you asked Lori, here is the Extended Lowmax:

Hi Girls.

I stayed up waaaay too late last night so I slept in this morning. I decided that I still wanted to squeeze in some kind of work out so in order to do that I had to give up my posting time here. I did Low Max blast only premix. Short and sweet. I can't do high impact cardio yet cause it still irritates my belly but I wanted SOME KIND OF CARDIO and being short on time, this was the perfect choice. Tmrw will be X Legs and Back or a suitable substitute. I am hoping to be able to hit an Insanity work out this weekend. *fingers crossed!!!!*

Well between the lack of sleep and the glass of wine I drank a bit earlier, I am about ready to pass out. I'm TIRED! Better go lay down before I do a face-plant right here! LOL

Hopefully I'll have more time in the morning to post and catch up with you girls!

L8r!

Hi there ladies !

Definitely not getting much time for anything lately . . . especially coming here regularly. Crossing fingers that I get back to a routine soon before I go insane (not with insanity - but the REAL MENTAL INSANE !)

So doing the happy dance as I left work just a bit before 5 to "go to the post office" (Lori - but I missed the mail lady today so really needed to go ! ) and came home, went right into DH (who was playing on the computer looking for Hot Wheels - go figure !) and told him after I changed clothes we were putting up the outdoor Xmas lights. He helped get the lights up on the house and put up my "Outdoor Xmas tree" (I have pics on my facebook page). That helped lots and then I finished the remainder. Took about 2 hours - not bad and I feel WAY better I got that done. Didn't want to do Xmas here without my outdoor lights !

Now somehow I need to do a quickie dust again, get some Xmas shopping done and tear my room apart. It is always last and usually gets missed. Loads of dust and clutter in a few areas ! I'll be putting the parrots in our room so won't get used much but there is always someone who ends up seeing the birds or using the 2nd bathroom so need to do something.

Work - bah humbug but I am slowly getting a few things done of my own work. Still bringing some stuff home but didn't do anything last night - will get to some tonight and this weekend to stay ontop of a couple of things.

Lori - Wish I was getting more Xmas stuff done but I'm not. Oh well, perhaps I can kick some butt this weekend and a couple days next week before Xmas is here ! It is coming way too fast for my taste this year. I am so jealous you get to do so many personal types of things at work - I WISH ! Hope you feel lucky for that. Hope tonight went well with the new owners - will be waiting to hear what you think.

Diana - Oh I so wish I could take time off - now it seems I may be able to the end of January if I am lucky. So you got new windows? Wow that is one thing I really want badly. We have the old 30 yr old ones that came with the house. In CA many builders don't use the double paned - I really need them as the house is not well insulated anyway. Something I'll get to when DH gets back to work consistently. Need a new kitchen and flooring too so want to chip away at that too. Then there's the landscaping - yep, I am always thinking of ways to spend - but most of it is valuable to the house. Not that I'm moving from here though ! Wow so soon that the girls will be here ! Woo Hoo for you !

Wendy - Good girl skipping your morning chat to workout. I need to get there again soon. So the piercing still hurst with jumping around? Bummer ! Hope you got a good night's sleep - hmmmmm . . . wine . . . sounds delish ! May have to go see if I still have my bottle in the fridge . . .

Off to eat dinner and veg for a bit too. Should really hit a few spreadsheets before I go to bed . . .
