I have staining and touch up to do and varnishing. The room/rooms are really coming along nicely. My husband has hung some of my paintings in the smaller loft area. The room is almost complete other than closet finishing. I want to get a nice book shelf for the loft area as sort of a reading area. I have a recliner there by the window with a pole lamp. I keep our wood file cabinet desk there as well. I will post some pictures when we are done. I need to bake something for my husband. I am running out of snacks. I bought him a bag of hazel nuts which he is munching on. Takes some work to crack them
They are a favorite for both of us during the holidays. I haven't ate any of them though.
My dvds came this afternoon. I doubt I will get my code till next week. I e-mailed and got the generalized we got your e-mail message.
Deb, I am sorry your friend is not doing well. I will keep her in my prayers. I hope that this is not a set back for her. I didn't know there was a long term heart work med. I mentioned the Nextguard and he informed me that was for fleas and ticks, which I already knew. I was just letting him know that made Gertie sick. I prefer the once a month stuff as some sort of long term, what I would call a toxin. I am never quite sure about all of this stuff, but am fearful after losing my other dog. I hope you hear some positive news on your friend. Get some rest.
Valerie, I used to try all sorts of healthy dessert recipes with less sugars and fats and the results were always disappointing. I would rather put the good stuff in them and eat less. At least it is enjoyable that way. We are at 20 degrees right now here. They are showing 17 for a high and 6 for a low on New Years Day. My husband went to Home Depot this morning and said the streets were slick near the store, but not where we are which is not that far. If we get the small chance of flurries it may be worse. I do not like the cold! I have never been able to do those levitation holds. I have tried using push up stands, dumbbells, different hand positions and all I can get is one foot off the floor. I don't know how Cathe manages to do these and extend her feet out in front of her :0 I can still feel them though even though I don't get my feet off the floor completely.
Lori, that is nice that you are able to customize your workouts. You are so good with the technology. I have not been willing to pay for on Demand just to get the workout blender though. Thanks for your thoughts on the new workouts. I am looking forward to them. They are a good length to be able to add barre and bounce workouts to
LOL on Gigi. Gertie has done that. She brought me her tennis ball today. Actually, it is a tennis ball from inside another Kong toy that she finally relieved of it's casing. I need to replace this toy as it has been a favorite toss and retrieve toy. It often lands on my step bench and rebounder when I am working out with an expectant puppy face looking at me.
Judy, that Airdyne does not look very comfortable. I did not know they do indoor triathlons.
Carolyn, I am quite sore the last couple of days and know it hasn't helped that I have skipped my stretches and yoga lately to save on time. I have done foam roller workouts. I have one that I have had for years that is near an hour long. I am not wild about the mannerisms of the instructor though. He bothers me. My favorite was one that I had with Keli Roberts. It fell off a shelf and cracked and I never replaced it. It does help though. I have other workouts that uses it for small segments. I have a short one and a long one. The short one is one that has the bumpy things on it. I gave the smooth short one to my grandson that wrestles. Tony Horton uses one in his P90X2 workouts for warm ups and also the recovery workout which I should try to incorporate once in awhile as it is a combo of foam roller and yoga segments. I think it is almost an hour long. You have to be careful about rolling too far past mid back. I used to roll all the way down and up and found out that you should not roll the lower part of the spine. Also not too far up where you hit in the neck area. It is more finding the sore spots and staying in that position till the tightness releases. There is a bit of foam rolling in Tai Cheng from Beach Body as well. I think I am really liking the therapy balls from Yoga Tune up more than I liked the foam roller as they seem to get deeper into the area needing rolled. Also sometimes it is surrounding areas that need some rolling more than the area that is hurting the most. At least that is some of what I have found. I stood on a foam roller and rocked it back and forth while I dried my hair when I had PF and it really helped.
