Pentagenarians ++ It's the Weekend!

[fox2star]

Good Morning...or almost afternoon!

Lots to do around here today. Our dog club is doing an Agility demo at the local Scottish festival so we were out by 7:00 and unloading and setting up agilty equipment. We didn;t stay for the demo, since w don;t have any dogs doing agility right now. Every year I marvel at the sheep herding demo, then there is this thing that they do where guys in kilts throw these big poles across a field..(can;t remember what's it's called)..

DH took K's "sample" to the vet to see if his bladder infection is gone yet, while I went to my cousins to help her out because she just had surgery on her shoulder...all and all, busy day...

Rhonda:
I had a Blue & gold mccaw at one time too...at the same time I had a cockatoo, 2 parrots, and a parakeet as well. It was way too much for me, and he needed more attention than I could give him so we found a good home for him. After all was said and done, I ended up with the one parrot that I have had for about 28 years now. I am with you on excercie vs housework...no contest! I would excercise for 2 hours, before doing an hour of housework!

Carol:
That DVD sounds interesting because you can play your own music...I also like that you can split it up between upper and lower body..mmmm..if STS doesn't get here soon I am going to go broke!

Garance:
Did you look at the YouTube Sts samples? I really want these workouts to be here! I miss working with heavy weights in a no nonsense manner, similar to S&H... How was the ballet? Is this the weekend that the DS's are coming?

Have a great day!

Today is a rest day, and I'm going to do my circuit and a step workout (an EASY one!!) tomorrow.

Have a great day, everyone!!

Today is a rest day for me, too...a rest from walking which seems to me kind of whimpy . but i have moved from walking to walk/jog, which my doc said I could do.

We took our greyhound to a dog day event. It was a fun outing.

Deb, the agility show sounds fun. Our local AKC is having a dog show this weekend and I may go tomorrow.

Today is the day I order STS!!!! (just a little excited!) Probably as soon as I finish reading the forums.

Have a good weekend all!

Wedding planning!!

Hi Deb, Carol, and Lala--

This morning I did the upperbody weight premix on 4ds (67 min.).

My older son and his fiancee have decided to have their wedding here in Williamstown (as opposed to Hong Kong or Oakland, CA). I am very pleased, since we can help them with their plans, which has been the big discussion this weekend.

Jacob's Pillow was lovely yesterday--a solid ballet company and a mixed programme of classical pieces and some modern ones. I didn't like the tutu, however, in this one pas de deux. The skirt looked like a portobello mushroom so the guy's lifts were in serious contention with the flappy skirt. Seriously! I bought an extra ticket for DS's fiancee because she was a ballerina and loves dance. It was fun, and my women friends made a fuss over her.

Looks like everybody took their day off on Saturday--like me. You shouldn't feel wimpy, Lala. When my knee was acting up back in November-December, I didn't do any cardio for weeks until it felt better. I did upperbody weight work, and that's all.

Enjoy the waning hours of the weekend, ladies!

Today was Carol's Circuit, then an OLD step workout by Joanie Greggains. Alas ... the tape is dead though. I gave it a proper burial. I loved that silly workout ... I've had it since Nicole was about two.
