STS first time!

Jean, thanks! That was informative!

Carolyn, my mom is hypo. She has no weight gain (thin), she's slightly depressed (well, every since my dad died, anyway), is ALWAYS cold, possibly has slightly thinning hair. Does the doc recommend meds? For my mom, yes.

Remember when Fred Flintstones used to mutter *retcha*fretcha* or something to that extent? (Or was it someone else??) Well, that's how I feel today with the cold weather. Freaking freak! My down coat needs to be downier! Apparently I don't have the comfy for zub-zero down.:confused:
Have you heard of Uniqlo? Latest in clothing retail store. Inexpensive, quality (can those two words be used together describing retail?)
 
Oh, and speaking of cringe-worthy microwave moments: all those years of using plastic containers to microwave my food.

Carolyn, SO glad to hear you've not got lupus.

Need a snack and just remembered I have pesto and crab dip to slather on Club crackers or healthy chips. Making hot water for tea now.
I was mulling over the idea of going to TJM/M for returns but I don't feel like it. Speaking of which, the tennis skirt is keepable, I suppose. I always want something to wear when CA sis and I walk, but caz shorts are too hot and don't suit, short shorts are too short, capris are too hot.... ya know?;)

Time to light the fire!
 
Toddler class this morning :) B did well. A few tears when I first left but the teacher said he quickly stopped. Happy mama!

Date night tonight. Not even sure what we are doing....probably just a quick dinner and then to the mall to buy b a new coat and boots. The zipper broke on his yesterday....not good in this icy weather. He has been wanting to go out and play but no way that's happening without a zipper.

Laundry today. Rest day for the plank challenge. No workout and I'm feeling it. Trying not to worry cuz I know I'll get back into it but these breaks are becoming way too common which really bothers me.

Thanks for all the compliments on little dude's pic :)

I feel ya on the posts. My one got cut off and then the next day I wrote a long one to look back and see it never posted. Ugh!
 
Jean, I watched another episode of The Paradise. I can't remember if it was my 2nd or 3rd. Only 8 altogether. Are you finished?
 
Good morning! Jean, it's great to hear from you. Fret not if you don't get to exercise. What's important is that we girls ALWAYS keep it in our lives and get back to it sooner rather than later. We're just hooked on healthy.:D
Your social life is something I would seriously enjoy! I can't wait to hear about your Verizon and MA neighbors! What's the closest airport to you in travel time? Do hurricanes come close? How's the humidity? I swear if I weren't feeling like Northern CA is heart and home to me, I'd move next to you!
This morning would have been piano for me but at my PA job, we are attempting a Skype conference, instead of having an elderly man enduring the exhaustion and virus perils of traveling to another state. I need to set things up for him.
I'd better get a wiggle on!
 
Swim class this morning :)

Snuggles and Curious George with my no nap B right now. Having our quiet time.
 
Jean, loved the stores you hit. Fun to walk through even if you don't buy anything.
Carolyn, that's promising progress! Is the shot just masking the pain? How do you get the disc back in? With PT and exercises?
I found Tuesday Morning a bit like Ocean State Junk Lot. Filled with anything and everything. Yuck, I think.
When were you in AK??
A skirt? I like that! I was thinking I should wear one with tights. I never wear skirts!

I worked 7 hrs today and finished it up with a, wait for it, post office visit! With end-of-day long lines! I swear the post office people never seem to work fast. I was just disgusted that 2 windows are open no matter how long the line.
 
Jean, thanks for the offer of your guest room!;) Though an airport 2 hrs away is almost a deal-breaker!
Road kill seriously grosses and freaks me out:confused:.

Knock, knock! Hello?? Hello?? Is anyone home?:D
TGIF, ladies! I did AOLIH with BS Sh. Must keep working arms. Must keep working arms. Must keep working arms.
The dvds must be close to being returned, no?
It's sunny, and the coldest day yet, supposedly.
Can't think of what else. Enjoy the day.
 
Hello!
Been working crazy hours, and have to work this weekend as well. I have to plan my Thanksgiving dinner in between things somehow.

I have been looking at down coats, I really want one. I was in an EMS store the other night and saw a nice one but it was over $300. And the ones in Marshalls seem too thin.

All this food makes it difficult living with diabetes. Seems like every day is a challenge.

I still get a pull in my hamstrings with the moves where you have to go low, and I see alot of them in these new workouts. The workouts look great, but I may not be able to do them.

I think I am depressing myself, I really need a good night's sleep! Have a good day!
 
Is everyone else ok? No one has checked in! We've probably all died from the cold!:confused: It is FRIGID with a strong gust!
Mary, sorry about the constant battle with food and diabetes. I hear you on how tough it is! Hang in there.

I'm here but not ok. I'm pretty sure I have the flu. I woke up in the middle of the night and threw up. Since then it's been coming out of both ends. Sorry tmi! Achy, cold chills. So weak it's hard to type this. Had to call in to work. This sucks. Especially since I can't snuggle b. I would die of he got this. I'll take out a million times over to keep it away from him. Dh is getting out of school soon and getting me some medication. I hate taking anything but if it will make me feel better I'm all about it.
 
Marie, omg, I'm SO sorry! Sending you lots of healthy vibes and thoughts across the country! Feel better soon! Wipe all surfaces! Quarantine yourself!
Just got back from returns (and purchases) at Marshalls.
A 2-hr yoga (yin, gentle, Reiki) workshop this evening for me!

Good sunny morning! I made a Dutch baby pancake. It's so easy! More so than pancakes and waffles! The fresh DD bag of coffee was so mmm, mmm good!
Dh is mowing, and after we'll do errands.

Jean, have a fantastic time tonight! It sounds like a ton of food and a great social gathering! Then you still have Thursday's thanksgiving to look forward to. No guilt on the food!;)
Today would have been my family's Thanksgiving but this yr my bro is going to FL for a few days with his family, so we'll be celebrating next Sunday.

Marie! Thinking of you today! I hope you're already over the worst part! Don't forget that you'll battle it off more easily because you're a healthy gal!

Mary, thinking of you too! You can get through the work AND plan Thanksgiving because you're awesome!

Omg, I just hit some button and ended up closing this tab, and somehow my post was still intact! Phew.

Hi Carolyn, Colleen, Missy!
 
Hello....its yucky here today....its a gloomy rainy Saturday!

I have sinus issues and when it drains my throat gets really sore!

Marie....oh no....i sure hope you feel better.....the flu is really bad here this year.....my doc had it last week and was out of work for 3 days....and then had the weekend...and was still not 100% on Monday....its rough!!!! Drink lots of fluids....

I sat at the table this morning with lap top and paper....and planned the entire weeks lunches and dinners....then hit publix...now I'm ready! Lol

I did go to spin class Thursday night.....yipppeeee!!!!

This week no spin because Thursday is turkey day!!!! I will have to do a double Cathe workout that day.....

Mr boots and I are snuggling now! I just love my babies!!!! Summer is asleep on top on my feet....he he he....my feet are warm....lol

Cant wait for the new DVDs....so pumped.....

Be back in a bit.....going to bake a pumpkin pie crust less....yummy pumpkin!!!!!
 
Feeling much better today. My stomach still isn't allowing solids but at least I'm not hovering over in pain. Thanks for the well wishes my friends!

We have a bday dinner for my SIL tonight. Not really feeling it cuz I'm still not 100% but I can't miss it. Also a bummer cuz no kids are allowed which I think is totally lame. We are bringing b to his friend's house. I'm nervous but I'm sure it will be fine.

Jean Have fun tonight. Sounds lovely!

Sorry to cut short. Got to get b down to nap.
 
Listen to Jean, Carolyn!

Jean, I bet tonight was fun!

We went out for ramen. If you knew my dh, it's like pulling teeth to get him to eat anywhere but at home. We were in and out in 35 mins!
Back home we watched Django Unchained. What an entertaining movie! I hate Westerns but this was just fine. It was nearly 3 hrs!!
Dh started on OITNB. Missy knows. First word is Orange...
Tomorrow I'll do some work for both of my jobs. I need to go i gredient shopping and I dread the crowds.
We will have Thanksgiving on Thu with dh's family.

Marie! It's amazing you are able to go out! Maybe it was the stomach flu? Take it easy though!
