Hi girls, I'm alive. Such a whirlwind weekend, and today we're having my family's Thanksgiving at my cousin's.
Marie, what an enviable space you have in the basement! Huge!
I didn't lose power but had heard in the news Southern NH did, so I asked Carolyn.
Love your mom/baby posts. I could just picture it. I would love to be a newborn cuddler in a hospital. Is there such a thing?
Carolyn, that's scary with the CD player. Toss that right in the trash. After you write to the company!
Absolutely no exercise for me since Wednesday's X10 (incidentally, I looked back at last year's calendar and coincidentally I had done the same exact workout on the same day!). Looking forward to tomorrow morning's!
I see GG is on sale today! I need LL&A as well. Do you suppose that'll go on sale tomorrow? Would they hold it for me till Monday, you think?

I'm still at work. I decided to work a double. Is it 11:30 yet?! I'm tired! Good money because of time and a half and then double time plus a weekend shift bonus but I'd rather be at home with my boys. Especially now because dh just called and said ds threw up again 
He was just fine but then ate some applesauce and obviously didn't tolerate it I just can't stand being here and not there.
Betty- There is close to such a thing as a newborn cuddler. The nursing aides that work in the nursery can cuddle all the want Bummer thing is now we are revamping and currently don't have a nursery so the babies room in with mom. Most moms want their babies in their room regardless but some do want a restful night of sleep. Soon enough the cuddlers with be back when the nursery is done. Come to MN and apply I'll put in a good word for you
Carolyn- Oh I hate wasting food. It's the worst! I had a salad mix that was about to go bad so I ate that for lunch this weekend. The pizza that the nurses ordered looked and smelled way better. They ordered two days in a row. But.....I just would not be motivated to work or do anything after eating it so I didn't go there. Way to chuck that CD player in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jean- I do LOVE my quotes on the wall. I as well read them everytime I workout Bet it feels great to have the house cleaned. Sounds like a relaxing day after that

Ok, I am so done with thanksgiving food! Back to exercise tomorrow!
A mild day today. Such a nice change. Low 50s never felt so good.
We have had fakes trees for as long as I could remember. We used to buy Charlie Brown trees when we were house rich and cash poor. On the fence about which is better for the environment, real or fake. Now I just want to find a super inexpensive small fake tree with LED lights. The old incandescents are still around everywhere.
Jean, safe drive to your sister's/mom's. Have a great week there. Do check in with us.
Mary, Colleen, Missy--miss you! Say hello to us.
Hmm, what to do about GG? Only been waiting a year for it go on sale! Must order soon!

Good morning! Sunny and will be mild.
I did LL&A with barre. Loved it. Surprisingly, this one is not for sale today. Oh well, I ordered 4 GG last night. It's such a deal with the added coupon. Gifts!
Carolyn, do you examine why you get that feeling? I think ds2 feels like that, poor kid. Poor you. Let the bright light of day dispel it.
I hope you got some rest. I found myself waking before the alarm with some anxiety. Typical Monday morning before work feeling all over the world, I imagine.

Lovely tree Missy! I love real trees. Can't wait to get one next year. This year we just did the fake one dh's mom gave us. Love VS! Hope you got some good stuff That's cool that she had a secret Facebook group. My instructor has a blog...still have to check that out.
Carolyn- Yup cute bike huh?! We got it from a friend. It comes with a video game to plug into the tv and then you ride along. We haven't tried that yet. Hope you're anxiety is better. I do get that feeling....last night on the way home....what if I get in a car accident and die. Hate that feeling!
Hi Jean! My husband loves WD but he must not have watched it last night cuz he usually mentions that stuff to me even though I don't watch lol.
B is napping. I did PRS1. It was kind of hard after no sleep. I was dozing on the couch this morning but I never fully fall asleep when b is up and playing.
So my friend on Facebook stated a free 15 day total body challenge. Missy is doing it too Wish you gals were on Facebook. It'd be fun to have you join. Today was 30 situps. I did them with a 5lb weight. Cathletes rock
Betty- What a great gift! GG rocks! I forgot to mention but remember that nurse I work with that also likes Cathe. I convinced her to order the new series She also ordered LICircuit. Another nurse saw us chatting about it and ordered Ripped too

Omg, I couldn't walk away from work till after 3:30. Good thing I hadn't planned on going to Costco and WF till later this week. Everyone and his uncle called up to pay their bills, and there were tons of check payments too! And a pile of filing.
The day started out sunny, then turned ptly cloudy, and now it's sprinkling. I certainly wasn't expecting that.
I better get to my bills.
Missy, Jean, Marie--you gals with your trees up already. Amazing. Awesome. Beautiful.
Missy, it felt good to get that run it, huh? It's good on turkey day.

Betty- There are advanced from what I can tell. They like HiiT workouts and when I mentioned Tabata they knew what that was. The one lady likes Cathe step. She doesn't have Rhythmic Step which is one of my favorites. I mentioned borrowing it to her if she wanted. Luckily she didn't mention it later cuz I immediately regretted saying that lol. I know she'd return it but still! The other is a runner and has done Insanity....gross haha! She used to weigh 103 and has recently gained about 20 lbs....she's in school and working a ton....so hopefully RwH will help her get the job done. Not ordering pizza with all the other nurses will help too I hope she likes Cathe. I'm definitely partial but I truly thinks she's the best! Like all of you
Thanks for the links Jean! I'll check them out

Marie, I know what you mean about lending! I hardly use some dvds but as soon as you lend it out, you'll be wanting to do it.
I could sell her my RS. I have never mastered it! Too frustrating!
Insanity is too intense for me. You can get injuries too.
I get my coupon inserts from my beloved Boston Sunday Globe and local paper, so I seem to accumulate a lot. I just cut about 8-10 packs this past weekend. Ugh, more clutter.
Carolyn, I see the pics of the new dvds and I'm excited. Do you think you can do the UB weights in the new workouts? In due time, my friend. In due time. Patience. Good things will come to you.

Hello?? Good morning! It's cloudy here--what else is new.
My exercise this morning was prepping split pea and ham for the slow cooker.
Jean, how are your mum and sis?
Paltry offerings on Deals of the Day today. I guess no steaming Black Friday deal on LL&A.
Having my chia-loaded millet before work. Have a great day!

Thinking TB today. A premix though.....anything over an hour just sounds yuck. I'll also do my 75 squats for the challenge.
B had a rough night again. I heard him coughing and crying around ten. Went in his room to find he vomited everywhere Could you imagine how scary that must have been for him?! I had to hold back tears. Just so sad He tolerated toast this morning aka sandwich as he calls it.
Jean Glad to hear all is well is Maryland. Your dinner sounds amazing. O2 is definitely rough on the nose...lots of people get dry too. Glad she is good though!
Betty Mmmm your soup sounds yummy. Have a good day at work. I agree about Insanity. I had it and actually gave it to my SIL. Too high impact and not fun! She doesn't use it either.
Carolyn I'll have to check out the update on shipping. I see that the last two weeks of the Dec rotation used those videos.

Hiho. Work was relatively calm. I was able to walk to the copy place and the post office. Both places are so close and the traffic in that area is so congested. So I got outside for an hour at least, though it was chilly it could be worse.
Marie, poor B. My heart aches for him! I hope as I type this that he is waaaay better!
With your shift differential pay, you don't need to work during the week. So awesome.
In college I was a unit secretary for NUSU/Neuro; it paid well. Do you guys use those acronyms? (Neurosurgery and neurology for you laypeople)
What on earth are skull crushers?
Carolyn, beef stroganoff is fatty because I'd use sirloin steak tips, but you can use low fat sour cream in place of full fat. Oh so delicious though. With mushrooms. I haven't made that in years.
Oh no on Zulily! Doesn't it figure??! Maddening! That site is time-consuming so I stopped the emails.
