H*A*T*Esville LOVES Fridays

[jennifer-in-mi]

Hello Haters.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, I don't have to be in the office till 9:15AM so I get to spend more time here and with the boys. Last night, I had a discussion on how I don't like being treated by the family and I emailed my brother today why as well. About 10 years ago, I stayed at home for Christmas instead of going up north because I didn't appreciate my lack of importance with the family while others had more say than I did. New boundaries are being established.

On a brighter note: It's sunny and warm here now, t-storms are expected here tonight. My tiger lillies are blooming. My CEO told me I can pull out the Queen Anne Laice from the empty property. Pig Roast near the big lake on Saturday.

Have a Great Friday!!

Hi, Jennifer!

Thanks for starting today. I just got home and it's now 11pm. I'm going to wash up and if I have some energy I'll be back!

Arghhhh, fam damily. Why's it always gotta be so hard?

Okay, washing time!

Hiya haters!

I had an early morning appointment to take my car in and I just got home a little while ago. Thank goodness I got out of there without too much damage to the ol' credit card -- I squeaked by with just an oil change and a new belt of some sort or another.

AUGIE -- OMG -- I am so sore from the kettlebell workout the other day! I'm have significant DOMS in my inner upper thighs and hip/butt, and -- to a lesser extent -- my core. Holy CRAP!!

My thighs have never been so sore in this particualr area, which is good I suppose, because I gotta lotta flab there.

Oh dear God, I only have 2 smilies left. -- now only one lmao!

CUZ -- Didn't you ask something about KB's and if they stress the shoulders? They don't! Actually, IMO, they are far less likely to harm the shoulder joint than a traditional weight workout. The Kettlebell Way tutorial does a fantastic job of explaining and demonstrating proper form. I think KB's will always have a place in my routine. I can see myself using them in between rounds of STS!

JENNFER -- Don't stress over the family stuff. Take my family (mine and DH's) -- we both have 3 siblings -- each in a different income bracket that impacts what they can contribute to family gifts. We have come to an agreement, especially when we go together on gifts for our parents, that each of us will contribute according to our means. I have more, so I give more. It doesn't take away from the ones who give less money. How much money you spend has little to do with the meaning or emotion behind a gift. Just give what you can -- I doubt your brother will attach a card saying I gave $10 and Jennifer gave $5.

Well, I've exhausted my smilies so I guess I better sign off -- lmao!!

Hello to Dana, Jen, Robin, Diane, and anyone and everyone else!

Good afternoon my lovely haters!!!! I"m caught up with my work for today and I'm bored. This day has been dragging on and on!!!

So get this, Gabe must think that I'm an old lady. Yesterday he asked me what did I think the future would be like when I was a kid. That turned into a conversation where I told him that we didn't sit in the house playing video games or watching television, that we actually were outside most of the time. I told him how I liked playing with my dolls. And he says, "oh yeah, you had to knit your dolls, didn't you"? LMAO I told him, no, we did have REAL toys. Then he asks if I had to knit my clothes and if we had tv's "back then".

I'm debating what I want to do tonight. Do I want to go to the new Target and buy a KB, do I want to take my little guy to the movies, or should I just stay home and get my cleaning & laundry done?????? Decisions, decisions. So what are you all doing for the weekend?

I guess I'm going to go and organize the files for the next hour.
