STS first time!

Good day, all. I made apple buttermilk pancakes with hash browns, scrambled eggs. Didn't do the big brunch yesterday for having to take my nephew.
My mission today is to format and order my Xmas card at Costco. That or bust!
It is a mostly cloudy day. So dreary.

Mary, best bday wishes to dh! Doesn't it just figure Amazon did that!?
Good for you on the walk. How's the hamstring? And dd(s)?

Carolyn, use a heating pad on the areas before you stretch.

Believe me, I used to do the Xmas card at least 4 wks later! I'm NOT that organized! The carrot on a stick is: Costco has these Xmas photo cards that come 50 in a pack, with envelopes. Normally only 14.99, but every November, they have a $5 coupon to be used before the end of the 3rd week. Hence the ONLY reason I am so early! (And since I have been frequenting the post office so much, I even have my Xmas stamps!:D)
Yes, my card has one of the family (I planned ahead and had my sis take one of us when we were in CA), and one of each ds (the same sis took a pic of ds1 on his 21st bday).

Mmmm, turkey! Congrats on your first turkey!

Jean, on that movie, didn't that boy totally steal the show? He was just so awesome!
 
Dh hates that I even do these cards, much less have us in them! My opinion is that we send it to family and close friends, and frequently, we don't see them enough, and it's a good way to keep in touch.
Epsom salts are good for detoxing, so much so I wish I took baths.:p
 
Good morning..

Bisy busy weekend....and then on top of it...I made a big pot of chicken noodle soup last night and had the inlaws over....

Yeah for doms Carolyn.....I know what your feeling....I'm just getting back on the cathe workouts after along time of just walking due to my pain....and I ache!!! But I'm happy.....cause I feel like I'm improving with no bad pain. .

I will catch up later today as I'm running crazy this morning.
..

Be back in a bit.....
 
Good morning, friends. It's raining at a good clip here too! 50s today, 30s rest of week, so I'd rather today.
I did a shortened version of High Step Challenge. I find the music in this series kind of uninspiring, the volume really low, today's workout not very hard. Sorry to be a complainer.
Say, this just occurred to me. I wonder if the 7 of us can continue our thread in a private conversation indefinitely.
Missy, mmm, chicken noodle soup! I just opened a can of one:confused: and gave it to dh for his lunch; he has been battling a cold and feeling yucky.
Carolyn, be careful.
Owners are back from a week+ vacation, plus it's Monday.:confused: Yikes.
Have a fab day!
 
Omg, I was practically food shopping and driving in the dark! Not used to it. (Insert crying emoticon here.). Not only that, it was pouring out! I just kept thinking, please let me make it home in one piece, please let me make it home in one piece.
How pathetic that Conversations can't handle more than 5 people!!!:mad: Thanks for looking into it, Carolyn!
Damn it, just noticed the fire went out!
 
It's soooo yucky out. After today the arctic chill will be here till at least Sunday:confused: Waaaaah!
We are getting Uno's for dinner. Love their deep dish Número Uno pizza. It has been eons since we've eaten there. Oink, though.
No pain, Carolyn?
 
Good morning! The sun is coming out. Very wet out but at least there wasn't a noticeable frost.
My exercise this morning was to do a load of laundry:D.
Not putting in a full day today since I need to take ds to piano in afternoon.
Wassup, everyone?:D
 
Good Morning.... It is absolutely freezing here in the south! 32 degress this morning....and todays high is 47. It will be 22 in the morning.... brrrr!!!!! Its only 37 outside now....OMG.....

Fingers crossed we don't catch the flu bug.

I dressed warm today....turtleneck and boots....hehehehe

Last night we had to blanket the horses and then I talked afterburn.... tonight I am going to do great glutes or lean legs and abs.....not sure yet!

it has been crazy here at the office....these people are coming out of the woods....oh my...its cold..stay home people.

be back! docs calling!
 
Hi Ladies, you guys sure have been chatty lately! [emoji4]. It's been a busy week. I had to travel last week for work and recuperating from bronchitis. I didn't work out for 10 days. I started working out again on Saturday and I'm taking it slow and easy. Back to ballet body and walking. Bronchitis take so much out of you. [emoji19]. We had DD family party on Sunday and it was great. I was so tired I fell asleep at 8:30!
 
Marie, how handsome and cute is ds! Love the pic! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on the planks, you strong woman!

Ouch and touche, Carolyn! Just like a guy to say.
Remember that frown every day when you're considering working out.
Glad the pain is tolerable!:)

Colleen, where did you have to travel to?
Keep up the rest. It takes time to recover.

Jean, how exciting is that!!!!! I hope you like the couple though!:D
I love your social life, you butterfly! Was dh with you? Does he enjoy the social scene too?

Missy, I feel for you on the cold, you Southerner!
How do you avoid getting the germs from patients?!

Ran home to take ds to piano, then we hit the post office (it's becoming a twice a week destination for me!) and TJ's.
It is FRIGID with gusty winds. Omg, how I loathe it!

Where are y'all??
Carolyn, how are chia seeds working? I feel like besides stamina, it keeps me clear-eyed. Literally. Don't ask me how.
Sweet dreams, all!

Just saw your post! Odd that even though I refreshed before I started, your post wasn't there till after I posted.
Ds does like piano with this teacher for some reason. She's good with kids too. It's nice that he wants to play.
Yup, Trader Joe's. I hit TJM on the way home yesterday, in the pouring rain. Had to buy dh slippers. Not much time to shop but I did find a tennis skirt, for the hundredth time! I haven't tried it yet but it was $10 and cute. The cut can't be too low or it'll land on the fattest part of my thigh. Will keep you posted.

Good morning....so I didn't die yet in these frigid temps...but I haven't made it outside yet. Its 20º and todays high is 55º.....tomorrow morning forcasting 32º.... oh my....another yucky night....

Made another pot of soup last night
...so tim and i could take it for lunch today. I also got so yum strawberries yesterday!.

Betty....lots of germ x.... and you really build up your immune system being in sickness daily! But when we do catch something....its normally bad.... fingers crossed. ...as flu os really bad right now.... we have had at least 15 positive flu test in 2 weeks....but the pediatric center said it the worst they have seen in a while.... its these terrible temps....lol

Carolyn....be a good girl....and do what doc says....get all better....then we will hit it hard in 3 weeks....I do understand....I'm the worlds worse in coming up with my own treatmwnt plan.

Marie...you little man isprecious!!!

Jean...you social butterfly....sounds as if you are loving your new life....so happy for u!

Be back...gotta get tim out the door!
 
Hiya. Sunny and frigid winds. Can you stand that this is happening in November!:mad::mad: I wonder if I need my long down coat!:D
I did GG this morning. Just loved it. I haven't been alternating that and LL&A as much recently so I forget how fun and effective they are! Still waiting for those two to go on sale for gifts! Black Friday or so, perhaps.

Carolyn, I hear you on the annoyance factor. It doesn't take much, and plus you're paying so if you don't like him, don't hire him:D I never imagined that ds would have such a different experience with this piano teacher. He doesn't love it but does it uncomplainingly.
Take it easy on yourself, gal.

Missy, soup is just perfect for this absurd weather.

I'm such an increasingly paranoid germaphobe! Everywhere I go I'm so freaked that I'll catch something, and now there's my new phone surface to agonize over getting germy hands all over.:confused:

Do y'all think microwaving your food just kills the nutrients?? I use it all the time, of course.
Enjoying microwaved hot coffee as we speak.:confused:
