Only a quick hi, since I am so busy.

Kim, the rehearsal went well, we luckily got there early because it was chaotic and it took a while to find where we needed to go. The dance teacher had her baby so the girls were on their own.... but it will be cute. Ds' class did really well. We stayed to watch a little but rehearsals were going to continue until 8 pm and we were there at 3. The recitals are this saturday and sunday. Should be fun!

Jo, I feel fine after decompression because they give you electric stimulation after on ice to help the muscles relax, but since starting the planks, my back muscles have been more tight, I hope they will adjust soon.

Enjoy your magazines and workouts! That walk sounds wonderful! If there is time I'd love to hit the trail with you when we come!

Rachel, that is so annoying about the AC guys! I don't know how they can do business that way! So frustrating! But all the reading sounds right up my alley!

Patricia, I hope all goes well for you guys in the next few days! Sorry for your loss!

Good Friday morning!

The AC people finally arrived. I was getting worried since they said they would be here at nine and that came and went but they are here now and so I guess that is all that matters. I am trying to be understanding because we are just having some routine maintenance done so it is not like we are sweating it out like alot of others probably are. These TX AC people get busy right about now.

This mornings workout was Intensity and I have the utmost respect for the people that can get through that one with out pausing...I am not one of those people. I would probably upchuck if I tried. LOL I sike myself up every time and start off pumped up but when she says something like now we are going to step it up...I am like WHAT! By then I am already huffing and puffing! But what is great about this week of the rotation is that she put the whole weekend as a rest so I am going to do a little yoga tomorrow and call that ENOUGH for this gal. haha


Cendrine-I am sure with the busy busy around there, you probably have not had too much time for extra stretching so hopefully if you can get some of that in sometime, the tightness in your back might get better. I am glad it is just tightness and not pain but I know how that can sometimes be a pain too.
I bet the rehearsals were cute. Take lots of pics at the recitals.

Hi Jo, Kim, and Patricia...Hope your getting some nice weather.

I have a little funny story to tell you. Tuesday night DH (sports crazy) comes home and announces to ds (also sports crazy) that he was able to get the company's season tickets to the football game for Thursday night. DS reminded him that he was on a school camping trip, dd (really not sports crazy) hear this exchange and piped up with "I'll go with you, daddy". Now what could DH say to his little princess except "that's great" .The look on his face was priceless. So he took his little non football fan to the game. It was so cute. They didn't make it through the whole game but did stay for most of it.
Of course I realized hmm, that meant I had the evening all alone! So I phoned up a friend and we went out for dinner where we sat on a patio and gossiped all evening it was great!

DS's grade 8 class biked to a provincial park, camped overnight and are biking back today. There is 2.5 days of school left next week and then they are done! It's finally starting to feel like summer!

It's got very warm here and we haven't put air conditioning into the new house! I got some quotes on air conditioning but decided to leave it till next year as there are so many things to pay for like curtains, landscaping, etc.

Tonight we are going to DH's cousins wedding. It's a second wedding for both of them and they are just have a cocktail reception.

Rachael Glad you finally got the ac done as you guys sure need it! I've done alot of sitting and wearing for repair guys the last few months with the new house needing odds and ends still done. I work part time so I can usually do that but I don't know how people that work full time can do that! Enjoy the weekend off from exercise!

Jo I'm so glad that you are getting some relaxation time!!! Is there any sun in the forecast for the weekend?

Cendrine How many more treatments for you? I bet the kids are excited about the dance recital!

Patricia Are you heading up to the lake for the weekend??

Have you heard about Minot, North Dakota being evacuated for flooding? My mom's family farm is just on the Canadian side of the North Dakota/Canada (Saskatchewan) border and my uncle's farm (used to be my grandparents farm) flooded Tueday night. My cousin sent me pictures, it's just heartbreaking. My MIL's cottage up north is flooded and now my uncle's farm out west. Both are locations that don't usually flood. Very strange weather patterns we are having this year!

 

[FourAM]

I agree Kim, we are having some really weird weather. Us already being in the hundreds is not normal and not real rain to speak of other than the other day and then yall with all the flooding...It is just too weird.
DD going to the game is too cute. At least dh got to spend some quality time with her and you got some quality time with a gf.

I on the other hand have been a lazy shlump today, spending the first half on the computer , the second half watching a movie with dh, No Strings Attached, and the up until now reading, IN BED No Worse...LOL Well in my defense, it is too hot to be outside and the house is clean so what else am I supposed to do.LOL I guess I bored dh to sleep and now it is 5pm and he asleep I probably should wake him so he is not up all night.

Just thought I would have a quick look at the boards. Have a great Friday night.

 

[cendrine]

Funny that you mention the boards, I can't remember when I was on the boards the last time...LOL!
Sounds like you are having some nice downtime, Rachel!

I just got home from grocery shopping, I am at boyscout day camp all next week and knowing how wiped out I was last year I decided to do what I never do and bought ready made meals from costco for every night of that week... they had some yummy stuff, chicken tikka marsala, thai green curry, turkey lasagna etc...

Workout today was spinning, it really works me out so I've been doing shorter workouts...

Kim, I thought it was cute too that dd went to see the game! The trip ds took sounds really cool too!

Hi Kim and Patrica!

 

[MommaPew]

Hi guys - just lost a long post and all I can say now is I'm WIPED. It's been a long busy week. Must go b/c DS is wanting to play outside. I'll enjoy it when he is older enough to be outside on his own!

So gotta go but will try to check back in later.

 

[Runcrazy]

Hi Everyone! I'm taking a quick break here...I finally started tackling the house and I'm in a cleaning frenzy! Plus, you know how it is when you're in the mood - look out! LOL!

Kim, oh my goodness, I've been watching the news about all the flooding! I'm so sorry about your family having to deal with that! It is just unbelievable how high the water is! I'm glad everyone is safe though. Loved your story about DH and DD! And, I think it was a well deserved evening for you!

Cendrine, I LOVE seeing that you're spinning! Isn't it just the BEST workout! Are you still doing it to cardio coach or have you gotten some DVD's? Hope the recitals are going well!

Rachel, I wish I needed AC! LOL! So Intensity is getting the best of ya huh? I, of course, haven't done that in a while but I think I had to take breaks in it too.

Patricia, we've all had that LOST post! Grrrr...!!!

Yesterday was hair day - this weeks was a blur but I know I was busy...just can't remember what it was all about! As I mentioned, I've been cleaning and just sat down to type this post and also was watching an Aerobox informercial. I rarely see an informercial but this one looks good! But not I'm not going to order it! Okay, got to get back to being busy before I lose my mood! TTYL!
