One more day of work, then I get a day off. I'm soooo ready. Although I have a have a mile long chore list for tomorrow, so by the end of the day, I'm sure I'll be ready to head back to work.

My co-worker who had the bad Staph infection will be back to work today. I made cupcakes to celebrate. I tinted the frosting purple (actually,it's kind of lavender) so they look like Staph bacteria, which stain like clusters of purple dots.

Catherine, how was the visit with the in-laws? My niece and DS left yesterday, so it's going to be quiet here.

ellie, the concert sounded awesome. Enjoy Cathe. Tell her and the rest of the gang I said Hi!

Dani, don't be too impressed with my jelly making skills. It really is easy. Just follow the directions in the box of sure jell. It sure tastes better than anything you can buy at the store.

Karin, your bike ride sounds like so much fun. I only got my bike out of the garage once this past year.:( Yeah, PSU was really worrying me during the 1st quarter. And the Steelers won yesterday. Life is good.

Wendy, your day with Houdidi sounds like fun too. We did something like that last weekend. I'm not crazy about fall, because it makes me so sad to see the end of summer, but I do like the fallish activities.

OK, I gotta run. Work calls. I did Tracey's HIS2 yesterday. I'm not sure what I'll do today. Something weighty, I think. Later peeps!
 
Good Morning Robin and All the Peeps that follow.

Took the weekend off from the pc to enjoy as much natural sunlight as possible this weekend. I am fighting the 'hibernation mode' here

Lauren Brooks 40 m kb dvd here for me and possibly her 12 m blast w/o too.

Robin I'm sure the cupcakes will be well received at your job, how nice to celebrate her return from work :)

I'll try to get back on here for personals as I'm realizing my time is short if I want to get out of here on time :eek:

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!

The in-law visit went well yesterday. They were late as usual, but stayed a few hours and were on their way. So by 5pm I was able to do my lazy Sunday thing.

Robin, I hope you workday goes by fast.

Vilma, have fun with Lauren!!

Hope all have a wonderful day :)
 
Robin--Love our check-in title this morning and LOVE the cupcake idea! :)

Vilma--So glad you were able to get that sunshine in this weekend!!

Catherine--Ah, so good that you had lazy Sunday squeezed in after the visit. I think we ALL need that!

Karin--OK, you must be a few years younger than me (NKOTB was big when I was 19.) But you were right, it was fun! The American Airlines Center was PACKED--like Bruce Springsteen is playing kind of packed--and it was 98 percent women (I did see like 5 guys) screaming like they were 13. I must say, the guys had aged very well (I think Joe was way cuter now than he was 15 years ago) and I even danced to "You've Got the Right Stuff, Baby..." LOL! Oh!! I'm also going to be trying that pumpkin oatmeal, it sounds soooo goood!!

So, due to Wendy's big night out with New Kids on The Block (that just sounds so wrong, ha!), I did not work out this morning. I hope to get back on track tomorrow, however.

It's 7:14AM here and Houdini is still sleeping. I'll have to send Mr. Needy in to wake her up...LOL!

:) Wendy
 
Peeps Check-in

Peeps:

I am dragging my wagon this morning! I need smiles and sunshine today. Please share funny stories with me and make me laugh!

I am running late and need to jump in the shower before work. I hope to return later for personals and a workout update.

Ellie, have a blast this morning! Give Cathe and Jerry hugs for me!

Hugs and waves to Robin, Vilma, Catherine, and Wendy!

Blessings,
Heather B.

Hi Peeps~

Missed checking in yesterday. I had my parents over for dinner and made my dad's favorite german meal: pork chops, brats, kraut, red cabbage, mashed potatoes, green beens, bread, apple pie and a few Hacker Pschorr oktoberfest beers;)

I was hoping to go for a run outside this morning since the sun is shining BUT after all that cabbage yesterday, I think I better stick close to the bathroom:eek:

Robin~ I hope you can enjoy some of your day off tomorrow....bummer that you have so many chores to do. Your cupcakes sound yummy even though they are made to look like Staph bacteria:confused:

Vilma~ I hope you had lots of sun this weekend. DH & I were just talking about how much easier it would be to deal with the long winters here if we could just get more sunshine! Have fun with your KB's!

Catherine~ Nothing is better than a lazy Sunday! Whatcha got planned for today?

Wendy~ WooHoo...Houdini is still sleeping! Sounds like things are going much better. Late nights out always require a day off from working out! Right?;)

Heather~ I have no funny stories off the top of my head but how about: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Did that help?

Hello to all who follow:)

JJ
 
Good morning everyone! I had a great relaxing weekend and am ready to be here at work and be productive. We’ll see how long that lasts for though :). My workout plan for tonight is to do an icycle workout on my bike. That should take about 40 min or so and I usually add on about 10 min of my own. I will probably follow that up with Flexible Warrior 3.0 for cyclists. All the biking this weekend has made my hips kind of tight.

Robin – is your schedule the same each week or does it change all the time? That’s great that you have the day off tomorrow. That’s so cute about the Staph cupcakes! I love it. My bike rides were great this weekend. I just recently got into road biking a couple of years ago and I really love it. My DH got me a brand new spiffy bike in the spring that I just love.

Ellie – I hope that your live Cathe workout was awesome.

Vilma – I know what you mean about getting outside and enjoying what’s left of the good weather. We have to enjoy it while we can. Winter seems to be creeping up on us here.

Catherine – glad the in-law visit went well and that you were able to have a lazy Sunday night. I get sad when my lazy Sundays are interrupted.

Wendy – I’m glad that you enjoyed NKOTB. Have we talked about the PR finale? Were you glad that Leanne won? I have to say that I liked Kenley’s collection the most followed by Korto’s. I’m glad that Kenley didn’t win just because of her personality, but I hope that Leanne gets a bit of a makeover for herself with the money that she won. I hate to be like that, but she just looks like a wet rag doll to me. I cant’ believe that she designs interesting clothes. You would never know by looking at her.

Heather – sending sunshine and smiles your way. I hope that you have a wonderful day.

JJ – LOL about the cabbage. It does the same thing to me.
 
JJ, you can make a meal for me anytime! Yum!

Karin, my schedule is pretty much the same. I work every third weekend, with days off during the week before and after. I have a road bike and a mountain bike, but I'm not so crazy about going out alone. DH never cared for riding. I have a State Games Lands near by with lots of dirt roads that I like to take my mt bike on, but mostly for relaxation.

Wendy, LOL at your concert. I haven't been to any kind of concert, except high school band and choir, for years. I guess I'm just too old. There are few people I'd pay money or go through the hassle to go see. Not even Jimmy Buffett! The tickets are too expensive and too hard to get and the venues are too far away.

Vilma, I'm glad you get outside this weekend. It has suddenly gotten cold here. I'm not looking forward to winter. I'd like winter to last for about one month, with lots of snow. Then summer can come back.

Catherine, yipee for lazy Sundays.

Heather, sorry, I seem to be all out of funny stories!
 
Heather--I just uploaded some photos of Houdini at the pumpkin patch--maybe those will make you smile. :)

Karin--I TOTALLY agree with you about PR--I *loved* Kenley's collection. I thought Leanne's "wave" collection was too much of the same thing. And yes, Leanne needs some polish!! She would be a great project for Tm Gunn's show, wouldn't she??? HA!

Are you going to watch Top Chef on November 12th? I cannot WAIT for Top Chef!!!!

OK, peepers, going to grab coffee cup number two while I try to get *You've Got The Right Stuff, Baby!" out of my head. Oh, yeah, I need to work, too. LOL!!

:) Wendy
 
Hey Peeps,

I've been MIA for awhile... I think since last Thursday to be exact... sorry about that. Just been sort of busy doing things & haven't had enough time to post. First, I'll catch up on my workouts. Last week, I was doing an upper body/lower body split, starting with upper on Monday. So I finished that out with lower on Thursday & then did a kettlebell workout on Friday. This week, I'm back to 4DS with extra cardio (to try & blast some of this off) so this morning, I did LIS timesaver step including the abs, followed by 4DS Bis & Tris, & finished off with 4DS LIS & the abs from the 4DS Kickbox. Tomorrow, I have a dentist appointment at 8:15 & then my DH wants me to go work at one of our properties so I'm not sure exactly how much of a workout I'll get in but I'll get up & do 4DS Legs anyway. I hope to do the Kickbox portion too... but I guess I'll have to wait & see. I'm also not totally sure if I'll have time to check in tomorrow but I'll try. I haven't taken the time to catch up so I hope everyone is doing well.

Robin - How nice to make cupcakes for your returning co-worker... & made to look the color of a staph infection to boot... that's great! Hope you enjoy your day off tomorrow.

Vilma - Glad you were able to enjoy a nice sunshine-filled weekend!

Catherine - I love lazy Sundays! Unfortunately, I don't get one of those very often...

Wendy - LOL about the concert. Hope you enjoy your day off!

Heather - Sending you some bright smiles & big hugs!

JJ - Oh my goodness, the meal you made last night (& the beer too) sounds so yummy! I have been wanting to eat everything in sight lately...

Karin - Glad you had a nice weekend & hope you enjoy a great icycle workout tonight!

Well, I guess that's it for now. I better get back to the laundry. I've done 3 loads this morning so maybe I'll be able to get back to housework again this afternoon. Hope you all have a great Monday!

Take care,

Kel
 
Hi all... no time for personals but did want to pop in and wish everyone a happy monday! I can barely see the top of my desk after being gone for a week... darn work gnomes must have gone on strike or something because they didn't do any of MY work!

definately back in the WO mode today too! felt so lethargic all weekend and didn't do a darn thing... :eek:

today is another day and will work hard to make it the best it can be!

BBL.
 
Hi Peeps.

I posted in OD about my Cathe class. OMG killer. :eek::eek:
I am a little more out of shape than I thought!! And those 3 weeks of being sick did not help.

Robin - Crack me up with the cupcakes!!! If I told you some of the things we did in the ER!!! Gross but funny
Concert prices are out of control. DH and I have very little time together so we try to see at least one show a year. Sounds awaful but we are trying to see all our faves Before they die!!!! Carly Simon is 62. Not old, but mix in the drugs and alcohol over the last 40 years. Whew!!!

Vilma - I NEED the sunshine daily. Even in the winter I get outside with my kids for at least 20 min. It feels so good.

Catherine - Sooooooo jealous of your lazy Sunday. I need one. SOON

Wendy - I didn't even know what NKOTB was!! I'm OLD!!!

Heather - At one point while doing drills, cathe said "Make sure you touch the floor", so I laid down. I was really touching the floor. :D:D:D:D:D

JJ - I can't cook. Not one little bit. Your dinner sounds incredible. Did you learn as a kid or teach yourself? Thank God my husband will eat anything!!!

Karin -What's icycle??? Is it for a stationary bike or for an outdoor ride??

Kel- was wondering where you were. Sound like you did some serious workout today. Me too!!!

Dani, I have paperwork up to my eyeballs that I keep putting off!! It's kids school stuff and coupons and reminders etc. And I haven't sat down long enough to tackle it. HELP

Hope everyone has a great day.

Oh wow I just had some time to sit and check in and I have lots of personals to catch up on .

Finished my kettlebell workout w/ Lauren Brooks and then left to soak up some natural sunlight.

I'm one who also needs the sun light Ellie if not it really affects my mood which is not a good thing. I need to go over to the OD and see how your day w/ Cathe went.

Sounds like you had fun with your friend at the concert Wendy - good for you :)

Heather I've been dragging and struggling myself to get up and motivated lately, have put on some weight and I'm suspecting its because of the shorter days and my poor eating lately :confused: . Sending you big huggles your way.

Wow your dad must have been over the moon with that feast you prepared yesterday JJ - yummers!
I was actually looking into a lightbox but their too expensive for us at the moment so I'm doing what I can by grabbing all the natural sunshine I possibly can - It does help my moods :) I'm not a winter gal at all :(


Karin is that flexible warrior a stretch workout? I'm asking because after my long runs my hips feel so tender and tight after wards.

Robin I hear you about having one month of winter and then summer coming along. I don't care for the cold weather as it bothers my bones and the cold is just ugh for me .

Kel you sure sound uber busy - put your feet up when you can

Great attitude Dani can I have some of that? lol

Well time for me to leave and get DD from work .

Have a great evening all!

Kel, it's good to hear from ya!! I hope you get to do KB in the morn!!

Heather, sending pic up your draggin wagon vibes :)

Ellie, you are not too old to know who NKOTB are!


Vilma, I just got Lauren's w/o and really like it. I need to try the shorter version :eek:

Dani, sorry the work piled up on you while you were gone :(

JJ, I wanna come to your place for a good ole german meal :p

Karin, hope you have a good spin. How is your dad?

Wendy, I can not believe Houdini slept in so late:eek:

Hope you all have a quiet peaceful evening!!!:):):)
