HI ladies..

Well, thanks to lots of rain from a storm on the east coast we decided not to go today. It just wouldn't be a good idea to drive to where the storm was worse. We are all disappointed!. But, the weather looks like it might be better for the end of the week. So, Vic and I are talking about going down to Busch Gardens as planned on Friday. We are going to get a hotel for Thursday and Friday and come back Saturday. As long as the weather forecast stays the same!!

Anyway, we decided to have fun today since we aren't going anywhere. We are taking the kids to a movie and lunch..It is raining here too..

I will still get my planned workout in: LIC...

Joanne: That donut was HUGE!! Cute photos...I hope Jameson gets relief from the Dr!

Be back later..

Hi Kathy!
Hey Everyone!!

Kathy: Your plans sound like smart ones! Rain is SO depressing when you're on vacation and you can't do anything. Might as well have a "staycation" today!! What movie you going to see? .... Have fun with LIC!!! (how can you not?)

This morning I'm going for a haircut and highlights of some sort. Haven't decided. I've always gotten blond highlights, never anything dark. but I'm thinking maybe dark or RED Dare I be so wild???

I'm planning on a nice run at the park after I get back. I'm really looking forward to it. And Physique 57 had BETTER show up today, or I'll be very sad and mad.

Joanne: Hope Jameson is doing ok! and that you are feeling better too...



BBL!

Oh, I got hit with no sleep last night! House was warming up, lights were going off, trucks were barreling on the street. Some light housework and maybe a yoga workout which saddens me to no end because I really wanted to do LIC. We'll see how I feel when I get home or when I'm at work. I would like to talk to my boss today before he leaves the country and it's *not* going to be a good conversation. *sigh*

Joanne -- I hope Jameson is feeling better today -- keep us posted! And looking at that donut made me gain weight!
Kathy -- sorry about the rain! but sometimes staycations are awfully nice.
Chris - oooh, get red highlights! I love my hair color but I have to say I'm slightly jealous of people who can change it around so easily.

Oooh, what a great price on the bundle this week! But...I already have one of the DVDs...I would love to think of someone I could give it away to as a gift...then maybe I should consider it...

Good morning! Happy "Monday" -- it's going to be a fast week with that holiday.

Kathy, what a bummer about the rain! But it sounds like you have a good plan, and more importantly, a good attitude about it -- don't let the rain rain on your parade!

Chris, go for the red highlights -- it'd be fun for a change, I'll bet! At one point I had the person put some red into my hair -- really subtle -- it was pretty. Wasn't it funny that Cathe was asking for hair color advice on fb, and of course that means that in shock cardio she will have dark hair.

Hottie -- sorry about the bad night! And good luck with the boss conversation.

Those deals of the week.... sometimes it just makes me a little mad to look at them, I have to admit, because I remember trying to get a multi-disc discount from them when I first started buying (but was too afraid to take the plunge into their huge bundles, or perhaps had one or two already), and they told me they never discount. Oh well -- it was mostly money well spent. I have a couple I almost never do though, I have to admit.....

I did a kbell workout this morning -- just could not face Jillian!! Sometimes that woman just gets on my nerves you know? And I'm in that mood. I'm going to do Lalo Thursday, Chris. I hope your P57 shows up today!!!

Joanne, sure hope Jameson is on the mend and that everyone else is still healthy there! How is your cough?

Waves to Vilma..... what books did you get?

 

[Kathy36]

HI ladies..

Thanks..Vic called to change our hotel room and we found out we couldn't cancel. so, we still have to pay. That information caused us to change our plans again. We are going tomorrow and if we can't do anything at the beach we are going to find other things to do. Maybe explore around the area. We will still have fun! Today we are going to see the Harry Potter movie. We haven't seen it yet and Lauren is a fan and reads the books. The kids requested Golden Corral for lunch. That about somes up the rest of the day for us. Tomorrow we will head out at lunchtime...

I finished up Low impact circuit...That is a great workout. I was dripping with sweat during that one...Tomorrow I am going to squeeze in cardio. I was thinking of the hi/lo parts of step, jump & pump...

Chris: The highlights sound great..Red would look awesome!

Beth: I have all Cathe's dvds...I wish they had been on sale when I bought them. I just aquired little by little...I wish she would put the first few workouts she made on dvd..

Hottie: I hope that conversation with the boss goes well. I hate those bad nights. Hope you have a better one tonight. Those are some great bundle deals..Some of my favs are included!! It would be a great investment!

 

[hottiescientist]

Eeek...up, so after I posted I tried to put in an AM Yoga thing to "wake me up" a little to which Joe found me asleep with my head down on the yoga mat. then we both hopped into bed for some snuggling that became a 30 minute nap (but at least he got his cardio it). And then we got stuck in post long weekend traffic on the 110! Oh, and my boss already left the country! So, great, this is going to be around my neck for a week!

Sorry, I am super frustrated but I am too pooped to take it to heart right now. Just wanted a mini vent.

Beth -- I think the deals on the bundles are a product of the EB deal because I remember people complaining about the literature in another thread. I doubt without a big corporate sponsor that they could get away from that business model. I was lucky in that Jen at Advanced Workouts gave me discounts on top of bundle discounts but nothing like 30%! I really want to get terminator but i'm not sure if its worth buying the others too especially with the way my wallet has been feeling (hey, is it possible that because my butt is getting bigger my wallet is feeling smaller?). But you know what I'm pissy about?? The price of the tower! I FINALLY ordered my first PREORDER EVER and it turns out its the same price now that it was months ago?!?! It better be more expensive in stores...

Kathy -- oh that sucks about the hotel! I only use those online things like Expedia to book hotels to avoid that. That said, i haven't been in a hotel for so long so what do I know about the rules now! Man, I wanna do LIC. It would have been perfect I'm thinking. I wonder if I'll have the energy when I get home to do it then...i hope so.

Ugh...I have to walk across campus to yell at the parking people for STILL not giving me my $800 parking decal....

Hey Again!

So ya, my hair stylist didn't think red or darkening my hair would go with my complexion or hair coloring. So we went with the light ones (plus they cover up my grays nice!).She did a good job!, I really needed a cut (ends were icky). Afterwards, i came home, ate a little something, and then put on my running gear and headed to the park! Soooo nice! My legs felt kind of heavy in the beginning, but I got used to it. I ended up doing stair intervals and hills and I lasted for 50 minutes! .... Afterwards, I headed to TJ Maxx to get my sister a (belated) birthday gift (she's always in Miami for her birthday every year). I got her some workout wear, she does power walking. And of course, since I was looking at it, I got myself some too! I also found the coolest cutting board that folds on the edges so you can pour your veggies without spilling them. I got one for my sis too, because the color matched the workout clothes!

Hottie: Sorry you didn't sleep! that just sucks! I really wish I could recruit you guys to do Zach's blood sugar checks, since you're up anyways! ... Your morning sounds relaxing though. LOL that you fell asleep doing Yoga!!!... I'm not sure if I'm understanding what kind of "cardio" Joe got in??? .... That sucks on ice that your boss left already! Hopefully you can put it out of your mind. Can you write it down like in a letter to help yourself 'get it out'?... That's a good point about the discounts on Cathe stuff and the EB deal!. You're so smart!.... Hope you get a little LIC in, if not, then tomorrow!!

Beth: Should be interesting to see Cathe with dark hair, huh? ..that was funny she asked on FB! .. I know, the discounts piss me off too a little. I did end up using the $10 off FB discount on Sunday! At first I thought it was 10%, but when I realized it was $10, I bought...... STRETCHMAX! Now I have most of all that i want of Cathe's workouts. I was up in the air about one of the classics, but I have one of them, and I rarely do them, so I don't need the other one. And then there's some beginner ones I don't have either. .... I'll try to do Lalo on Thursday too!, I don't see Physique yet today . I'll probably do some kind of lower body tomorrow. ... Ya, you have to be in the mood for Jillian, I understand! It's good you got a KB workout in though!

Kathy: Oh crap on the hotel. But it's true, you could still have fun. is there a hotel pool/hottub? I swear my boys could spend a whole day in the hotel's pool and hottub! And I'm sure there's got to be maybe an indoor museum or something. And it's nice just to be away too.

Kids should be home from school soon.... and I guess it's just about time to plan some supper!

 

[hottiescientist]

quick run -- my boss did come and he did talk to me! And it was good. Sometimes he doesn't realize he's wayyyy smarter than us and its a bit of a game to figure out how he is connecting a thousand pieces together (though after I did, I must say, I think he's stretching something and don't quite agree with hiim). But the part that I thought was hardest was over in less than 30 seconds regarding a project he gave me three weeks ago. Me: "It's a good idea but I'm the worst person for this project because yeah...well...I suck at this incredibly easy technique." Him: "Yeah, that's true [me: cringe]. Why don't you do [incredibly hard thing for everyone else but for whatever reason you're good at]?" Me: "Sure!" I hope this doesn't bite my ass.

Chris -- you dirty thing! I've been pouty because he can wake up and in five minutes, no matter how tired he is, he can start running with the dog. THAT's what I meant! Though I LOL when I read what you wrote. And I love the hair!!! When I saw Cathe in February, her hair was dark...

So much to do!

 

[bitmover]

Chris you are too funny! I laughed out loud at your "cardio" question! Of course, the old married women with children here like to think that somebody is having some fun somewhere!

Yea on stretchmax!

Hottie, good news on the boss conversation..... I think!!

Gotta go do some stuff. I told the kids we are starting a new habit.... set the time for 15 minutes and put stuff away in that time when we first get home. Well, almost first. And groceries don't count!!

 

[jojobean]

Hi ladies. Just a quick post....Jameson got admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. They are giving him three different antibiotics. Poor guy was just miserable last night. I took him into the doctor first thing today, they sent us for a chest xray and admitted him. The whole process started at 10:00 and I just got home - he finally got a room. DH took over and is staying the night. I hate to see him so sick and in the hospital but in a way it's a relief that they know what's wrong and he's finally getting treatment. The kid has been so sick and hasn't uttered one complaint. I'm hoping he's much better tomorrow - they said he just start feeling better really soon.

I'm pooped and am heading to bed....

Joanne

 

[bitmover]

Oh Joanne! What a day you've had! The best news is that they know what it is and hopefully he's getting some relief! Hope you can get some rest, my friend!
