Hey girls.

Since Lori has abandoned us, I figured I would start the check in today!:p

I am thinking about going to Kohl's today so long as it's not raining. Still have a little bit of Christmas shopping to do and I need to buy wrapping paper also...

Have Leaner Legs and abs on the agenda in my head today...who knows if that will change by the time I do my work out! LOL }(

What's everyone else up to?
 
Good Morning Wendy...and everyone else,

I didn't abandon you! I just haven't been around alot.I was kept busy yesterday...so :p on you!

I am going to try and to LM although I am not feeling 100%.Im just super lazy, a have a headache,my chest hurts and parts of my body hurt from HSC yesterday.I think I should go to the funeral home and pick out what box their gonna put me in!I am hoping that LM will bring me to life.I hate feeling lazy after I have had my coffee.
Tomorrow DH takes over the business so I have to help them today with inventory, plus go to work tonight at 6:30...I think its going to be a busy week.
Be back later,
Lori:)
 
THERE you are Lori. Welcome back! :p

So what is your DH selling, BTW?
Will they be online at all? Goodness knows they sell EVERYTHING online these days! Maybe the Cathe gals could buy from ya! ;)

LM is a good work out! Low impact it may be but CERTAINLY not easy! If you are feeling under the weather you should take it easy. Don't want to make yourself sicker, do you?

Done with your Christmas shopping yet everyone?
 
Good morning Wendy and all who follow,

I'm pumping in the coffee--I have a day of study ahead of me. Tonight is the last night of my italian class for the quarter and I haven't done my homework--for 2 weeks!!! I've been so busy I just haven't had time. I'll try to get a little Leslie Sansone w/o in but if I don't, that's okay too.

I've been terrible about strength training. The set up I have is NOT conducive to working out. I have to do it in my family room which means I have to drag everything out then put it all away. My house has a lot of rooms but not many closets--and no basement or attic--so I have stuff stashed all over the place. I just hate it! We have a spare bedroom that we use as attic space. I'm trying to clean that out and turn it into a w/o room but it won't be easy. You should see that room--LOL!!

I'm so friggin glad that we don't do Christmas shopping anymore. We get a little something for my MIL & FIL (usuallu just a gourmet food basket) nad my nieces and nephews. The older kids get a card with moola, the younger kids get whatever I can find on the internet from the list their parents email. Too bad you don't live near me, Wendy. I have a stash of wrapping paper from a few years ago that I don't need.

Have a good day, ladies, and a good w/o.

Michele :)
 
My goodness I'm slow!!!

When I posted before the only post on the thread was Wendy's. Howdy Lori. Kiss and make up with DH. You'll feel good about it!
;) :)

Hey Michele,

I know how you feel about the lack of closet space and no bsmt or attic! My house is the same way with one exception....the lots of rooms part. We don't even have THAT! lol

My house is considered a 4 bedroom cape. DH and I have one room, DS has another room, my computer/work out/laundry/storage space is the 3rd room and then the 4th room we were using as a spare bedroom/storage space but it got waaay overcrowded and messy in there so we lost the bed and it's now JUST storage. Kinda like an "attic space" as you said, Michele.

My work out area is small but I'm glad I have a room for it instead of using the living room. If you can get that room cleaned out so that you can dubb it your work out space, you will LOVE it, Michele! It's sooo great! I just wish I had a BIGGER room. I want a treadmill, DH wants a universal home gym thingy and I have a gazelle that I don't use often because I can't leave it set up. I have to fold it back up and move it every time I want to use it due to lack of space and that stops me from using it often because it's heavy and awkward to move. x(

Unfortunately what I want is not something that I can put on a "wish list" for Christmas either! LOL

Can't ya send that wrapping paper over to me via email, Michele? ;)

Well, I've gotta run for now....BBS though I am sure!:)
 
Wendy- No online but ya never know what might happen! Its a sports store so there is a bit of everything.Its a small business so there are no treadmills or equipment there.Lots of workout clothes (fo me?:) ) shoes,sneakers,coats,hockey stuff,figure skating stuff....you get the pic. I jsut finished 1/2 of KM minus the jumping and now my headache is gone but I still feel lazy.
I tell ya what happens to me.It happens about twice a year and for the last 7 yrs.When I workout to hard...or run in the cold (in this case) my lunges expand (gross hey?) and the part that is uncomfortable is when they expand they are hitting my rib cage.So...if I stop breathing I feel prefect:) but I sort of like to breath so thats that!:) There is painkillers I take for it but I am all out and I figure by the time I go to the doc it will be gone.This came from Mondays run outside in the cold.Anyway...Ill cope.
Christmas shopping isn't over yet.I have nothing for the men but I may just buy stuff at the store for them.

Michele- Yeah,I should kiss and make up.If anything I am probably stressing him out more then he needs to be.WHen we argue it really plays on him.

Must go get a shower.
Lori:)
 
Top of the morning to you, lovelies! I am sorry you are under the weather, Lori, so am I. I don't feel sick, just a little tired. I woke up at 5 this morning, and I couldn't fall back asleep. I spent this morning writing out my Christmas list for DH, which was hard because there is really only one thing I want, and it is expensive so I don't want to ask for it. Here is a link:

I totally love it!!! It has a strap to keep the bag steady so that it doesn't sway after you hit or kick it. I really, really want it! I also would like a food processor and pampered chef type slicing/dicing machine to make cooking easier. I found some on Amazon that are under $50 with good reviews, so hopefully I can get at least those. I feel so greedy all of a sudden! x(

Michele, I understand no space. We had to move all of my workout stuff into the garage so that we could fit the tree in the office, and now I have to haul everything in here and since it is winter all of my equipment is FREEZING!!! Then, when my muscles are aching and sore and useless, I have to haul everything back out! x( But I am very grateful that I have a garage and can workout. One day I will be in a wheelchair in a nursing home, so life really isn't that bad, now. :7 We were actually talking about turning part of the garage into a workout room. I would get a 10x10 corner of it to lift and stuff, so I think we may be able to work something out. I hope that you can make something work for you. I love going through old boxes and discovering things almost forgotten!

Lori, I have totally felt what are feeling right now. There are things that Dan would do repetitively that I finally got to the point where I didn't care, didn't want to talk, just whatever. I totally understand. Making up is very fun, though, and I wouldn't put it off too much longer. Life is so much better when you laugh. :D

Wendy, I LOVE KOHL'S!!! Take me with you!!!! I love everything about that store. What are you getting DH for Christmas? Dan got his $2500 HD 50" big screen and now he is asking for an Xbox 360. and a dish with a year's worth of DishTV. And four movies. And a poker set. and gift certificates. And money. You know, you have to either laugh or cry, because it is either cute or... you know, it is just cute. He is like a kid every Christmas and birthday, and he lavishes the kids and me with presents every holiday, so it is definitely cute! :D

Lori, I have become the queen of "long", have I not??? :p :p :p

Missy
 
Hi Missy.

I bought DH Tivo with a year's subscription to the service but my sister is "buying" 3 months of that off me as part of a gift for him.
I also ordered him a cute T shirt that says "World's Best Dad according to Joey" and another T shirt that has a funny bowling remark on it since he loves bowling. That's where his Xmas ends. I actually spent more than the agreed amount already! :eek:

Ask for what you want Missy! Don't feel bad! Your DH obviously has no qualms voicing what he wants, right? lol So if it's too expensive and he doesn't buy it, so what? Atleast you asked. You will never know if you don't ask! He could surprise you!:)
******************************
Lori,

A sporting good store? WOW! You lucked out woman! I don't like you anymore!:p

******************************

Well, Joey is down for a nap so that means mamma has to get to her work out!!!

BBL!:)
 
Your t-shirt gave me an idea...

I will have a t-shirt made for Dan that says "I own a big-screen tv"

do you think he will like it? :+ :+ :+ :+ :+ :+ :+

Missy
 
HI Missy- You are becomming the of long...Im not the only one long winded.:) We made up after.Not the kind of making up that you were talking about though!:eek: Haven't had a chance for that yet! hahaha And ask for whatever you want for christmas, I do, and it usually works.

Wendy-Did you ever like me? Didn't know it...your post were always so mean and bitter towards me.:+ :+ :+

Its late in the afternoon now and I am so blah.I hate it.Im lazy and sore all over.Even my shoulder hurts, I think I am falling apart.I was thinking about getting in the bath and then having a nap but DD needs to be picked up in a little while,then dinner and then she as to go to gymnastics.
I think this month is going to be nuts.With the new business,christmas and schedules being changed around...its gonna be nuts! Not really looking forward to it.
Lori:)
 
So what exactly happened with MIL? I had some problems with ours for the first few years of our marriage. I will tell you about it if you want, but Dan did stand up to her and though she threw a fit, she backed off. It isn't something that I could do, it would only cause problems for all three of us and ruin all our relationships all around, it was something that Dan HAD to do. If you want to talk about it, I am here, you know! I can share my stories with you, too. You think that cats peeing in the corner is bad? You just wait! That is only the tip of the iceburg! :eek:

Missy
 
Missy- Don't get me wrong...I have the best in-laws ever possible but there are times when they know to much.Probably b/c we live so close to them.And the fact that DH was laid off of work this year didn't help much.She then knew about out finances altogether.And I don't really like people knowing that stuff.
Ive never ever had it out with my in-laws and I probably never will.She comes across as a tough cookie and she speaks her mind but if you call her on something, you would bring her to tears.
There fine but I just wish our parents didn't know so much but how can I expect them not to with all thats happened this year.

I took a painkiller and I am feeling alot better.If it was close to that time of the month I would definitly think i was preggo.I have been so lazy today.I had 3 naps!:eek: Now, grant it two of them were only 2 min naps...but the thrid was 45 min long and when I woke up I felt like a million bucks but I soon came crashing down again after that.I don't feel like I am getting the flu but there is something wrong with me.Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.
Lori:)
 
Hi Lori,

I hope you're not coming down with something. You should probably get some good rest tonight and maybe tomorrow too. You've had a lot going on these past few weeks with your DH's new business venture and all. Things like that, even good things, can take their toll. ;)

I had a little snit with my DH today too. I sent him a dopey e card and he loved it.

I'm supposed to be at my last Italian class right now but I got a call from my poor sister and I ended up talking to her for over an hour. It's too late to get to class now. I feel bad about it--there we're people there I really wanted to see. Oh well, my sister needed me. She and her DH have been separated for a few months and she's going through a really hard time right now. Her DH is very depressed and we're concerned he may be thinking about suicide. She's waiting for a call from her counselor and then she's going to call me back. Prayers are appreciated.

Michele
 
Hi Michele,
Not much sleep for me tonight..Im working:-( But ya know Lori will get a snooze in somewhere! I also brought the Grinch and the Elf movie with me.I have one flight at 10:30 so I may put one on after that.I also brought stretch max and ab hits with me.I definitly need to stretch.
Im sorry to hear about your sister.Its hard to sit back and watch someone in pain and all you can do is listen.I guess thats better then nothing at all.A girl that works with me as been seperated from her Dh for a few monthes now and she is still going through a rough time.Mostly b/c he as moved on.She went down to her in-laws the other day and walked on in.When she went into the bedroom, her DH and his new girlfriend were in there painting.That set her back big time.She is just so unsure of what is happening b.c she as to sell her house and she doesn't know where to live and so on.When they broke up I think she thought that it was more of a "break" just to think but then he moved on.Its possible that he was seeing this girl before they even broke up.
I just hope it is something I won't have to go through.But Im sure we won't get through this life without our share of heartaches.
Lori:)
 
Michele,

So sorry to hear about your sister's troubles. I hope and pray that her DH will be okay.

Please let us know what happens.
