Good morning ladies!
I'm up early, can't sleep, mind racing again. I'm just super busy at work, but loving it. Didn't have time to post last night at all. I did my hill climb after work. It was perfect riding weather, though I could feel the heat and am acclimating. Very nice weather for climbing, though, and the route I chose was shady and in mostly forested areas so it was nice. Got home from riding, changed my clothes and decided that I needed to make a couple of cakes for my boss's last day in our department tomorrow. He will still be my boss for part of my duties so I'll still be in contact with him on a daily basis. He's just moving physically to another area. I'll miss him. Anyhows, I didn't get done with the cakes until around 9:00 and I was too bushed to sit at the computer and do personals. Today will be something Slim Series like or Jari Love. After work tonite, DH and I will be taking the dogs out for a little ride to the forest to "air out". Looking forward to it very much. Tomorrow I have a big shindig at our house for family. Actually it's a birthday party for my Dad, who is 75 and my niece who is around 14 I think. I'll have lots of food shopping tomorrow morning and housecleaning too.
Debra, Did you get Power Circuit CTX done? I really like those workouts and forget how intense the short cardio is in them. I do like Karen Voight's yoga and she gives good instruction too. The tape I have has 30 minutes of power yoga and 30 minutes of stretching yoga. No Sherlock last night as both DH and I were ready to fall asleep. Maybe tonite.
Sandra, I am soo amazed by the little faces that a sleeping newborn makes, the frowns and funny eye movements. I could sit and watch our son for hours. So you liked Baron? I have a couple coming from Debra that are Baron so now I'm excited to get them. I would get very nervous watching my son's ride their rock crawlers. Usually they video themselves and we watch on the TV later. I couldn't bear to watch him when he raced motocross. I really couldn't. You crack me up about not knowing what room your baby is in! My folks were pretty strict with us 3 oldest girls, lots of pictures of us and stuff. The last 2 don't have hardly any pictures and Mom & Dad weren't as strict. Their grades weren't as good and they were sassier mouthed. Think Mom & Dad just got tired. Everyone turned out okay anyway, but funny the difference from the oldest to the youngest. LOL re: your DD and the diaper cream. Sounds exactly like my granddaughter! She keeps her mama on her toes.
Laurie, your daughter sounds very tough mentally (in a good way). Glad her legs are getting better. I'm so glad your parents made the drive okay. I feel so blessed that I live in the same town as my folks. Will be celebrating Dad's birthday tomorrow. Funny about your DD giving advice to Pops re: his endurance. She's right. Reminds me that I need to get our mtn. bikes ready to go. I like riding with my DH and taking the dogs out.
Debfer, I just got Ripped To the Core and may do it this morning so I'll give you an update. Jari is not Cathe, but who is? I'm doing these because my body needed a change from the heavy weight work. I still have my muscle from P90X, but don't like a thicker look on me, even if it's muscle, as I am short (5'2") and short limbed. I so far am enjoying the leaner muscular look.
Wendy, you are a hoot! Love hearing about your busyness. One of my sister's homeschooled all 4 of her kids (she's still homeschooling the youngest at 14). My other sister homeschooled 4 of hers up to a certain age, then moved them into private and then public schools. Not sure I could do that, nor want to, but I take my hat off to you. That's pretty neat about your DD's artwork. Too bad about your Ex-SIL. Hope it doesn't get to you for long, if at all. I did my bike ride last night and yoga yesterday, which works well as legs aren't as tired when I do it that way. That perfect family you spoke of sounds amazing. Real workers. I love to see that in kids nowadays, seems rare. So sorry about the dog bite, and in the face too. Glad it wasn't worse.
Traci, how was your Tragically Hips yesterday? Oh, I saw No Pudge brownies at my regular grocery store today, and in all 3 flavors. Had never noticed them there before. I just kept going past them and bought a box of turtle brownie mix to make for my boss's last day today. No, I'm not off work today. Used to be off on Fridays when I was on 4-10's (BooHoo), but not any more. Sure could use the day off to clean my house and get things ready. Traci, what is your secret??? Please, please, please tell us!!! Hope I didn't miss it somewhere else. I was like a whirlwind last night and barely got to read the thread for the day.
Monica, hope the hip starts improving. Glad you are checking in. I think this site is blocked at work. I tried to get onto a bike racing website once and it was blocked. I haven't even tried this one. Anyways, I have too much to do at work to get on here. Maybe that will change.
I'd better sign off now before someone else starts another Friday post. Hope everyone has a great day today.

Oooh! P90X camp at Traci's! Good one! If her whole family arrives on my doorstep I'll have to tell them that I have no idea who SandraX is, and I think someone pulled an internet prank on them. Maybe Traci's secret is that she's looking so good these days the BeachBody people want to put her in P90XX? Tony yelling at us in YogaX cracks me up, and I always think, "There's no yelling in yoga!" When he comments on the water bottle during boat pose it always distracts me and drives me nuts. Baron's shorts are super big and baggy. I mean huge. They look ridiculous. He stands like he's got something large hidden in the bag of his shorts; looks very uncomfortable. BTW, am I the only one who thinks Tony's black pants he wears in Shoulders & Arms look H.O.T? A bell on DD! LOL!! That's funny. What are your workout plans for today? Legs & Back, ARX?
