Hi! I was just going to get us started and saw Rachel did! Hey we're both online! LOL!
I do have lots to catch-up on and catch you all up. I am in the middle of writing a paper (ugh). But right now I have to go get a shower as we're going to go look at Nixie - the sweet baby girl! Yes, remember her? No, no we're crazy I know! We DON'T need TWO dogs! But we have to go see her. I will be back - yes I will!!!!

Not too much interesting stuff going on here. DH is helping a friend on a short movie in a town about 35 miles from here so I have got the house to myself and I have been making the most of it. Next I am going to try and tackle our computer room. It is the catch all room and if I could just half way organize some of the stuff I would feel like I accomplished something.
Kim, do you have a catch all room yet in your new house? lol I figure probably not yet.
Cendrine-I did get to glimpse your photos and your kids sure are cute. They must get along really well. Of course my favorite was the piggy back ride from ds.
Are yall still worn out from the 6mile hike? Just think, if your kids could tackle that at there age, the sky is the limit for them probably.
Kim-I think I am almost a week behind you on the rotation. How is this week treating you? I am leary of the bi's in PUB twice this week. Sounds like you are keeping with the schedule though! Way to go!
Jo-I hope you are getting some down time! Have a great day.
OK this room is not organizing itself unfortunately so I better be off.
Have a great day!

Holy Cow what a development, Jo!!! Yes do keep us posted on what comes out of that visit...
Oh I forgot to ask is any ones appetite all messed up due to the time change. Here it is 1pm and I am hungry again. Could be my cycle too...but probably a little bit of both.
OK now I am off.

Good morning just a quickie between workout and breakfast. Not too much going on here. DH ended up staying the night at the location they were at last night so he would not have to get up so early. Of course he sent me a text which I did not get till this morning so around 3am when I woke up I was a little worried. The drive he would have had to make to come back is really bad about deer getting in the highway. I kind of had a little bit of a feeling though that he probably stayed since it was so late when they got finished.
This mornings workout was PUB. I just can not believe the weights she uses. I was going to ask you what you start with on the bi's Kim. I think I started with 8 then went up to 12's that was tough. I am going to see how I feel on Fri. and might try starting with 10's.
Better go check my oats.

I uploaded some pics of the sweet gum tree and the sweet gum balls. Now I don't think you can tell but all those little dots on the tree limbs are sweet gum balls and there are literally hundreds that fall off the tree each year. It is horrible to even try and walk around with out rolling your ankle on the darned things!
Anyhow just making granola, washing up the fresh eggs my dad brought me, and looking at recipes on the internet. Someone on the OD forum posted a bunch of websites for recipes and one was www.skinnytaste.com. I am looking at making the taco chili recipe from there today. With chicken instead of turkey though. It looks really good.
Since it is raining and cooler today I think it is going to warm us up. It's back to work for a day tomorrow and then we will have to see what the week brings.
Have a great day.

Good Monday Morning!!!!
oh my goodness Rachel! Those gumballs look wicked! LOL! Holy cow! PUB is a bicep killer! I have NEVER been able to do what Cathe does with those. I always have to take a longer rest - I think that is one of the few workouts where I just cannot get to the level she's at with those biceps. It makes my arms hurt thinking about it! LOL!
Okay, so we went and saw Nixi yesterday. SHE IS SO SWEET! Oh...what to do what to do what to do?!?!?!!?! So, here's what we're going to do. DH is going to pick her up Thursday afternoon and we're going to keep her for a bit to see if it'll work. She is the CUTEST SWEETEST BABY!!! She is now 7 months and LOVES ME!!!
Dang, someone needs me...be back..

Disk 19, double wave loads! Bring on the burn! LOL!
Rachel, we have those trees here, I just didn't know what they are called! LOL! I love those things for crafts and stuff with the kids.... how does that saying go about another man's treasure? LOL!
I had a couple of really busy days, so not much time or energy right now, the time change is not agreeing with me either...
Jo, can't wait to see the picture of the baby! How fun!

Cendrine I agree about the time change, it has really made me tired! I'm just relaxing after dinner and the plan is to do PUB soon but I'm going to have to push myself to do it.
Yesterday I didn't get a workout done as we were at ds's hockey game in the evening which they won!!! THey lost the Sunday game (which left ds is tears) so the series is tied at 1 game each.
Sorry, I realized that I posted on last week's thread on Sunday instead of starting a new one. It didn't even occur to me.
Rachael, no catchall room yet. So far the house is so much bigger, we're spread out all over and nothing piled up. When I did PUB biceps a couple of days ago I did 10,12,15,10,8 had to lower for the pyramid down. That is a killer bicep section.
Jo We bought a Dyson vacuum that we bought for the new house, I decided I didn't want to do a central vac as we had lots of problems with the one in the old house. I love the Dyson!
Going to go see if I can see everyone's pictures.

I got to see the pictures! Strange, how I couldn't access them before. The ones of the kids are great Cendrine! The piggyback pose is so cute!!!
Rachael are the sweet gums, prickly?? I meant to tell you that yesterday and today we were above freezing!! I wore rubber boots instead of snow boots today and the snow was melting!

Oh what a long day. Getting up early and working until 6pm was tough. It made me feel old. I am sure it is the time change and it sounds like we are all feeling it. I saw a comment on some post the other day that said Arizona does not do the time change...Is that true and if not why? I guess I could google it but I know I will forget to.
My workout this morning was ho hum and weird all in one. It was Kick Max and I kind of just droned through the kicking and punching drills and then rocked the blast part and peetered out in the leg conditioning. lol Oh well I knew this week wouldn't be great.I am alright with it as long as this goes away soon.
Kim-Congrats to DS on the hockey game. There you are the proud mom again!
Yes the the sweet gum balls are pretty prickly but more so when they are green. When I was young we would have gumball fights.
Cendrine-DH wanted me to tell you we will sell 'em cheap to you by the pound. lol Unfortunately you sound like you have your own gumballs already.
At least on the energy we all can kind of see a pattern here. I think it will be another early night for me and dh. He was in bed at 8 last night! He never does that!
Jo-Can't wait to see the pics of Nixi. I hope the cable is back soon. Is that from the weather issues yall have had?
OK going to go to the bed and read a while.
Have a great night.

Wow! I guess we're all affected by the time change! I'm miserably tired! I did get to spinning last night and watched TBL - Kim, what did ya think? Marci looks awesome!
Rachel, so, after making you post the gum ball pictures and everything, I walked out in the parking lot last night and they're all over the place in the parking lot! LOL! We have them too! Who'd a thought?? You're right too about AZ. We lived there a long time ago and yes, they don't change the time. I don't remember why but states weren't mandated to change if they didn't want to.
Cendrine, yes, I'm sitting her thinking about a nap and I've been this way for two days! Is your back coming along better again? The picture is so cute! I love the hat on DD! What a sweetie!
Kim, yes, congrats to DS! Wonderful! Ibo already attacked the Dyson (twice). It's purple! Do you feel all settled in now and that the house is yours? Got your routine to and from the store and everywhere? I think that's always one of the biggest changes - your shopping routine! LOL!
Well, we did finally get our cable back in the middle if the night the other night. I don't know what happened but our cable is hooked to our computer, TV and telephone. So when it's out - we're all out! LOL! Not necessarily a bad thing though! Rachel, I do think it was from the weather, we were having major wind/rain storm and some place had power out. We had power, just no cable.
Okay, lunch is over! BBL - pick up Nixi tomorrow afternoon!

What a day!
It has been a humdinger! First off I guess last night when I was supposed to be setting my alarm, I just looked at in instead.... So this morning although I kept waking up, I never opened my eyes because I just knew my alarm was going to go off any minute. When I finally did open my eyes, it was daylight! I freaked and jumped out of bed and had to get going immediately! I was in a fog for about 4 hrs. That is normally about how long I am awake before I even leave the house so you can just imagine. It was not a good morning.
Then when we got home the county appraiser had been by so I can only imagine what all that is going to be about. We tried to call but of course after 4 there is no getting anyone on the phone anyway.
Then of course dh has been in dire need of a new phone so we finally had to get that done and I went ahead and upgraded too. Nothing too hi tech for me. In our work it does not do to have a smart phone really so even though he got one that was capable of that operation it was not necessary to get the data plan. Then also we are going to try the myfi internet thingy (tech term) so if my internet is spotty it means it did not work.\
Jo-I think I am almost as excited about Nixi as you! This is going to be interesting to see how the new pups get along at your house.
I had to laugh at the parking lot full of sweet gum balls...I should have known those weed trees were everywhere!
Cendrine and Kim...I hope yall are catching up on your rests some how...
Oh I forgot to mention... I missed my workout

Boy, it looks like we are all having a busy week!
Rachel, you can tell dh that he's going to have to do better than sell the gumballs at a low price... LOL! They are as abundant here as where you guys are... LOL! If I had them in my yard, I would probably let them dry up and then use them for barbecue fuel...
Jo, how's Nixie getting along with Ibo? They know each other from before, right? Because they were at the same place, do I remember that correctly? Love the picture, she looks adorable and full of mischief!
I met a homeschooling Mom at PE class today who moved here two weeks ago from Kirkland, she knew all about where Bellevue and Wodenville is. (probably spelled that wrong... ) She was talking about how the houses up there have lots of big windows to let all the sun in and that they only ever did not like so much window in the summer when it heats up and there is no air conditioning, which made me remember your fan set up last summer! LOL!
Rachel, sorry you missed your workout today! It's a whacky week, so don't sweat it!
I did get legs disk 20 done, I'm already feeling it! But it's going well. My back is mostly doing ok, I have weird ups and downs that I can't quite figure out, but for the most part it's going ok, I think ever since I read that book about what not to do, I have been able to keep flare ups at bay a lot more, which is encouraging.
I'm still feeling tired, hopefully the weekend will help. I can't believe it's taking me so long to adjust! I'm just glad I'm not the only one, even though of course I'm not happy that you all are struggling! Here's to some good sleep tonight!

Hi, it's a Thursday afternoon pop in! LOL!
Well we aren't getting Nixi until in the morning - can't get out there to pick her up today. Also, we found out yesterday that the guy that was going to get her but then didn't because his wife was going to lose her job now wants her! So...we're still going to take her for a trial and if we decide two dogs is one too many, at least we know she'll still have a good home to go to!
Cendrine, LOL! Yes, we have big windows in our house! I used to live in Kirkland so where I live, Woodinville, we border on Kirkland (it's west of me) and we're probably 10 miles from your in-laws depending on where they are in Bellevue. A good rule of thumb is I'm 10 miles from the mall! LOL! You must get up here for a visit!!! Glad your back is more manageable. Are you enjoying going through the Meso's this time around?
I am not nearly as tired as I was yesterday but still not right! I did get a decent night sleep last night. I know it's this time change! You wouldn't think an hour makes that much difference!?!?
