Wow, I feel like I must have slept in or something, but ironically I think I was up earlier this morning! You go, girls! Yes, what are we going to do without Kathy starting us off this week! Thanks, Chris!
That is an awfully early awakening Kathy had!
Well, I managed to get the babysitter for today -- sure hope Larry feels well enough to go to work because I will have to cancel her otherwise (and probably pay her something given I told her I'd make it worth her while to arrange her work schedule to accommodate me! I sure hope she can make it here tomorrow, too). So I'm off to my hair appt. I hate taking all the time for that, but it sure needs it.
I did Supersets this morning (for the first time -- I liked it!!) followed by 200 kettlebell swings in 5 minutes. Just needed a little cardio boost there at the end, but for whatever reason, my forearms were killing me after that swinging -- I think maybe it was the weight work first, I don't know.
The hole in the wall..... well, when we moved, we didn't sell our house right away, so it sat empty for a while while we figured out if we should fix it up and sell it, fix it up and rent it, or just plain sell it. A friend of a friend is a contractor who flips houses, and he got wind of it and took a look at it and just fell in love with the idea of fixing it up. We had thought he was just going to expand it a little and move in himself. Turns out he did what all the other contractors do in SF -- basically demolished it except one wall (this way they can claim it's not a tear down, it's just "improvements") and rebuilt the thing. It was very sad for us, because it was an incredible house from the 1930s with lots of really cool architectural detail -- it really did just need updating and some expansion, and he could have easily done that. Well, fortunately we had held onto it long enough that we didn't shed too many tears (but some!). He bought at the height of the market, put a bunch of money into it, and then I don't know if he even made anything because of what happened to the market in the time he was working on it. Really bad move on his part. If he had done what we suggested (and we even had the beginnings of plans), he could have made a lot more money. And, in the end, he sold it, didn't move into it himself (apparently couldn't afford to, but perhaps that was his plan the whole time). I guess the best thing for us is that we were able to sell it in that awful condition and we did make a big pile based on when we bought and sold. How's that for a long answer?!
So are the fires the hiits, or what? I don't feel like I have a good picture for that whole TF.
Sorry for your crappy night, Chris! That sucks!
You guys should definitely go see Toy STory.... I think it's the best of all of them.
Boys are crazy noisy and I have plenty to do before the sitter gets here... better fly! Have a good one!
Joanne!
