HI Ya'll!:)

How is everyone today? I fell top knotch after a real nights sleep that was not in a recliner at work;)
I was suppose to go to a Dr. apt today with my friend but the weather isn't to good so I don't think I will be going anywhere.Later I may run to the mall and get some things but that will be just to get out of the house.And this all depends on the weather.Its suppose to get worse.Could be the perfect day to stay inside and get some house work donex(
And I have no cluse what my workout will be today.I did walking lunges last night so we will see if any pain kicks in later, if not, I should do cardio and legs...oh...and abs:)
Ill be back.DH wants me to make him some breakfast!:9
Lori:)
 
Hey Girls!!

Lori,

You making that egg benedicts stuff for DH again? You really want to collect on that life insurance, I know you do! LOL! DH swears I am trying to do the same. He was sick with that sinus infection (which he end up passing on his germs to me) and I told him not to go to the doctors as I thought it was just another lingering cold because he doesn't rest enough and it seems to always take weeks for him to get better over something so minor. So he ignored me, went to the docs and came home to tell me of his sinus infection which he then accused me of trying to cause him to get worse by not going and collecting on some money! He is such a riot. If I wanted to collect, I would just hit him over the head with our barbell. LOL! He is another one that likes attention, that is all it is! Well girl, so whatcha getting at the mall? GNC is having a sale now just like many others and I WANT TO GO!!!!!!! Broke now cuz I went just last week and bought myself some slutty black boots with 4 inch heels and some Hollister jeans!!! LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Slutty black boots? I like!:) I have been looking for a nice pair of boots forever and I can't find what I am looking for.One of my friends who visited last week,was wearing what I was looking for.I would perfer boots that go to my knees but if I find what I am looking for I will settle for a shorter boot.I have even looked on Victoria secrets and I can't find any.I would like to have a pair with a square nose and a thinker heal.Alot of the boots now have skinny noses and pointy heals.I want something that I won't feel like I will fall over in!:) Wouldn't that be a site? Lori on her face!:)

No eggs benedict today for poor DH.Just eggs and ham.And not green eggs and ham either!:) Remember I said he is trying to eat healthy.Well...he didn't really mean healthy b/c he says he just wants to eat better then he as been.So really...theres no change.Last night he had wings again.I think it is all in his head that he is being healthy.
Lori:)

Oh..and I am not getting anything at the mall really.Just toilt paper and stuff..no goodies today:-(
 
Good Morning Lori and Charlotte,

I wanted to get up early again to work out before DS gets up but I overslept!x(

I am currently previewing Firm It Up. I just received the Slim Series this morning...it was at my door at 8:15 am!:eek: I was told that this series is boring but that it works so when I got a good deal on it I went for it. I figure it fits in well with freestyle anyway.

My coffee is tasting super yummy this morning. I must really need it!}(

Lori, glad to hear you got REAL sleep last night! What's with the weather by you? Snow?

Charlotte, that story about your DH is pretty funny. LOL Slut boots, ey? I'll bet they are NICE! I wouldn't buy 'em though as I can't walk in super high heels. I'm not very graceful AT ALL!!! lol :p
 
Wendy,

Hey there! I only put the boots on once and tried walking in them. So far I feel like Frankenstein trying to walk in them so I have to practice walking alittle more graceful. If I can't do it, then I will sell them on Ebay. LOL

Charlotte~~
 
Good Morning Sleepy head!:) I overslept to but it doesn't make any difference b/c I don't have a little one.My coffee is pretty good to but the pot is empty now and i don't think I will put anymore on.

I think I am going to finish putting away the stuff thats under the tree and then workout.Imax 3 is calling my name but we will see.
Lori:)
 
Charlotte,

Frankenstein? LOL My SIL's LOVE high heels...the HIGHER the better. They walk around in 4" spikes like it's nothing! I'm sooo jealous!}(


Lori,

WOW, your tree is STILL up? I got all of my decorations away several days ago, thank goodness. I hate putting the crap away so that's why I am in a rush to get it done. I enjoy decorationg though. If I didn't hate taking it down I would probably do more than I do!
 
Yep, the tree is still plugged in and it will probably be Mon before I bother to take things down.I hate it to and thats why I keep putting it off!
Lori:)
 
Lori,

Well I am ready to put up Valentine's Day decorations and you still got your tree up????? You sound like my hubby, hates taking down the Christmas decorations. Calls me the grinch everytime I take it down which is usually day after. LOL!

I just talked to hubby and since he will be off tomorrow, we will hike together then. Hope the day will be nice although I know it will be alittle cooler. If it is 40 here in the valley, it will be about 30 up there. So I have nothing left to do but ME and Stretch Max.


Charlotte~~
 
You are the grinch! Both of you!:)
O.k..I am to lazy to workout yet.I am going to do the things I need to do and while I am making my first pot of soup...EVER!!! i will workout then or maybe even tonight.I did only workout 12 hours ago so I need a rest:)

Me chase the dogs around??? I was thinking just now, who owns these guys? I seriously cannot go to the bathroom without the 2 of them chasing me.When I get off of my night shifts the bigger dog chases me around the house and waits for me to go to bed b/c he wants to get up with me, which i don't let him do anymore cause its to much fur. He use to be DH's dog but Dh is gone so much that I think he thinks I am his owner now. And the puppy...he is just madly in love with me.He will not leave me alone.But then again...can you blame him????:+ :7
Lori:)
 
Lori,

I know what you mean about the dogs. Mine does the same thing. Follow me into the bathroom. Now, I don't mind if I am going to take a bath and they want to flop on the floor, but that is about it. I hate when I am eating and they beg so much. Drives me nuts. Feel like I need to go into any room in the house and shut the door just so I have peace. I look forward to dining out just for the peace of no dogs begging. Guess I am feeling lazy today too. I need to get ready for ME while I still have a belly full of food.

Charlotte~~
 
Well something is going on. Just got a call from my FIL and he needs for my hubby to call him right away. MIL has been ill for a very long time and I don't know if something is wrong with her or something else, but he won't talk to me about it...wants to talk to hubby only. Weird. I don't like this so now I just finished calling hubby and only getting his voice mail. Don't know what is up. Feeling on pins and needles at the moment.

Charlotte~~
 
MIL just passed away in her sleep early today. Hubby is still at work and I want him to come home. He is obviously having a hard time. I know I will need to be strong now for him, but I will have to find my strength from God as it will not be easy for me either. I think I am going for a walk/run today...mountain or not. I just need to walk/run until the children come home from school.

Charlotte~~
 
My God, I am so sorry.Was this expected? Do they live close by or will you be gone for a while? I don't blame you wanting to get out of the house, I would to.My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lori:)
 
Hi Girls,

I'm so sorry for your loss Charlotte. I posted on the other thread and am just now reading this one. Now I feel kinda bad because I put a picture up (actually an album) for you and Lori last night and I'm making a face. But just know that was yesterday's face, not today's.

I just got back from a meeting and the topic of discussion was at-risk youth. Some counselors from our high schools were talking about how 99% of the at-risk kids are the ones whose parents are not involved in their kids lives enough whether it be that they are too busy, they are working too hard to make ends meet or they just don't care. So that just reiterates our discussion of having you all keep hounding your kids! I know you are great parents and that there isn't a concern, but it's nice to have the reasoning to keep involved in their lives and keep making them accountable for things when it might seem easier not to fight. It will be so worth it for them in the end.

Take good care of yourself Charlotte. And Lori - stay out of the bad weather. Wendy - I'm sorry you overslept today. You must have needed the sleep so don't be too hard on yourself. You'll make it up.

I love it! And I know Charlotte will to, that will cheer her up a little!:)
Are you at work? What is it you do? Can you sleep at work to and watch movies?hahahaha:) :)
I am so not with it today.I am getting things done around the house but I don't want to workout.I may wait until after supper to workout.I have a pot of soup on but I am not sure how it is going to workout b/c I couldn't find my big pot! How weird is that? I probably loaned it out and I don't know to who.Unless it was my MIL.Anyway, I got a smaller pot but it may end up boiling over!
Anyway...must do some more work!
Lori:)
 
Susan,

Egads! LOL! I really needed to smile...thanks! Yeah, I know the pic was meant for yesterday, but it sure cheered me up today!

I think you hit the nail right on the head with the parents being of today being too involved in their jobs or what-have-you to take time for the children and that is why there are problems.

Lori,

I have been pacing around the house and didn't go out for the walk/run yet. Instead I am just doing ME as scheduled. I need to do something and not pace anymore and wait for the phone to ring. It will help me feel better and I am not sure if I will be able to workout this weekend as the funeral will probably be then. I am not sure where I will be staying....hotel, BIL or where....will be a very sad time, to say the least. Better to do it now....takes my mind off things, etc.

Charlotte~~
 
Hi Lori,

Well I must say that it was really difficult to get my wrists to bend. I told my husband to do it and he could do it really easily. I thought I was much more flexible. How odd!

Yup - I'm at work. I WISH I could sleep and watch movies (as I type on the Cathe boards!!!). I run a non-credit program for a community college. In addition to that program I work a bit with our business training and workforce development people, hence this morning's meeting. It's probably not the most exciting job that I've had, but I'm so very thankful that I have it and it's really a great place to work. And it's certainly not a bad job. My previous job was in international tourism marketing and I had the UK market and Italy so I was always on the road making trips over there and domestic trips as well. That was a blast and I made so many lifelong friends from all over, but the traveling gets so old after awhile. And my trips were long. I wasn't looking to leave, but I sort of got recruited away and this opportunity was one that would have been stupid to pass on (EXCELLENT benefits which include a ton of time off and fabulous retirement). My husband is so much happier that I'm home and we have more time to go places now because I'm not always trying to schedule around a trip. Probabaly more than you wanted to know!

Ah, the mystery of the missing pot. Isn't that odd when stuff just vanishes? I think there's a big, black hole somewhere that's full of stuff we've all lost! I applaud you for being able to work out later in the day. If I wait it's usually all over. I HAVE to do it before work. It probably helps that you work nights, huh? :) Maybe you just automatically have more energy then.

I'm so sorry Charlotte for what you're going through. I wish I could help. I'm glad that silly picture helped for a minute. :)

Charlotte--

You and your family are in my prayers. I'm so sorry.

Keeping busy is important. Your husband is lucky to have you to lean on.

Hugs to ya
 
Its me again! I just finished a 6 mile run and now I am heading for the tub.After that I think I will curl up on the couch and watch some t.v. Dh is watching the hockey game with his buddies and lots of food! Did I tell you he was eating healthy this year? Yeah right!
Chat with you in the morning.
Charlotte, I hope all is o.k as it can be right now.
Lori:)
