morning everyone! We got snow, we're getting more snow.......ugh! Some folks still are without electricity. You can tell who doesn't....bad hair and bad attitude. Can't blame them!
I got my house hubby back. The snow and projected storms closed down jobs, but he will be going back before too long. Meanwhile, laundry done, errands done, house warm, all courtesy of my house hubby. Who could ask for more!
(((Jen))), this time of year is difficult anyway, and you've carried a big load of trouble and worry all year. Please make sure you take some extra time to be nice to yourself this winter. We loved BL finale, too! DH was a-jumpin' as if the Patriots had won the superbowl! Vicky was NOT our favorite. Didn't Michelle look AWESOME?? The father and son from Boston were a disappointment, they didn't do as well as all of the others. Still, some weight loss is better than none. Just so you know, Jolene and I do not talk like those two guys! Yikes, that's a South Boston (think Matt Damon) accent! There's a new season in January.
Dawn, LOL on the therapist. I had a therapist once who was on the edge of her seat with my stories. Made me wonder just how cuckoo I really am!!!
Muril, you are so organized. We'll have to call you Muril Stewart! ha ha
Michele, hugs to your furbaby. DH and I are still sad about our Malcolm, and he's been gone over a month. In other news, I actually sat on my cat by accident last night. He was not impressed, but he seems to have recovered. That was a scene, let me tell ya! I have a big scratch on my butt.
Went to Cabela's shopping with Ol' Prince last night. I ended up not finding what I wanted, (Woolrich bathrobe for DH) so I ordered it, and hopefully it will arrive by Xmas. If not, DH will be getting the receipt in a Christmas box!. We checked out the sleeping bags and self-inflatable sleeping mats for DH's big four-day hiking extravaganza he's planning for July. Between gear, the cost to stay at the AMC huts, and gas between trailheads, we could have less expensively booked another trip to Florida. (not really, but it does add up!)
Beth, that's a great photo, and a nice interpretation by the photographer. If you keep in shape throughout you life, aging will be much easier for you! I have to admit, I bet a photo of me, redfaced, trying to tie my shoes might not be quite so artistically inspiring. (*snickering at myself*) Staying flexible like that is important for balance and stability. The other day, as I was getting up off the chair, my big toe got caught in the leg of my jammy bottoms, and I fell right on my face. DH almost peed his pants, and luckily, the hiking and moving around I do helped keep my injuries limited to the bruised ego variety. Still, it was a graceful and interpretive crash to the floor. A lot of other 50-year olds might have broken a hip or something! ha ha!
Ginny, any quilts in the works? (doesn't sound like you have time, you social butterfly!). CM sounds like a keeper. Ahhhh... sweet revenge. We're all giving you a cyber high-five!
Hi, Dusta. I did WW about thirty years ago in my very early twenties, and nothing was ever said about going below my goal. I went 6 lbs. under. (I am now nearly 50 lbs. over). How the heck did that happen? I was too skinny, though, and even DH says that I look healthier (and sexier) now. The sexier part is because I now have boobs. Hooray for fat!!
I'm struggling with the holiday parties. Too many goodies, and I sit all day at the office. I go to the gym 3x week, but it is only enough to maintain, although the crunches are helping my abs feel less jiggly!! heh heh.
Apparently, my staff thinks I am stressed and overworked this year. At our staff party yesterday, they presented me with 15 (yes, 15) bottles of booze. Either that, or they think I'm a drunk! I've got coconut rum, flavored vodkas, pre-mixed girly drinks, and champagne! It's fun to be me! Lil' Prince is like, "how come they only got you alchohol, mom? Where's the chocolate?"
Time for my lunch...turkey wrap. After work, it's the post office, Walmart, then the gym. Supper probably not till later, but that's ok. Looks like a wash this weekend with all the snow, and I'll have plenty of time to sit at home! DH promised to get our tree today, before the trees were covered with a foot of snow!
Hope you all have a great day. Hi to Jolene if you're out there! PammieJ.
There's no such thing as "try". You either do, or you don't.
