Good golly, it's only 8:14 in the morning, and it's already uncomfortably warm in here! I turned off the ac during the night - it wasn't exactly comfortable, but it could have been worse. I don't think we're going to be able to wait too long today though. It's like the air is sort of thick and unbreathable.
Anywho - good morning, my lovely buddies!! How was your weekend? Ours was kind of a blur until Sunday - but Sunday was very nice. What a pleasure it was not to have to ask Jolie if her homework was done yet! She enjoyed every lovely, lazy minute of that day. :o)
Today's plans - try not to melt....or if I do melt, see if I can do it specifically in the area of my hips, thighs, and tummy. ;o) What's up with y'all today?
Happy Monday! Happy week!!
((((HUGS)))) - Karen

Howdy neighbor!
I'm sorry it's so hot there! It's been that way here most of last week and it's set for most of this week, too! Yuck! I have not wanted to go exercise outside when it's this hot out! (90+ and rainy, too!)
Last night seemed a little cooler, but really I wouldn't know- we camped out in the living room the past two nights! (The only room with a/c- haha!)
This weekend was fun, which is why I was MIA most of it ;) We went and looked at a bunch of open houses. We wanted to see what we could reasonably afford right now and if it's worth it to wait a couple years to get something a little nicer. We wanted to move out immediately, but I think it'll have to wait another year- ugh! We did find one place we loved, but it needed some work and had only one bathroom, and that's something we couldn't afford right away to fix =( So we'll wait a bit longer =)
Anyhoo, I went a bit overboard last night with dinner (made eggplant parmesan- yum!) so I need to be extra good maybe today and tomorrow. That's my focus for the day. That and work. Oh and laundry. And some cleaning since I did NONE of that over the weekend! Ugh!!
Well, I hope all my buddies have a wonderful day!!

Yes its unbelievably hot here too. My weekend was nice, just hot and busy. Today Im going to try and go back to the gym. Its time to go back. BUT I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and he told me I pulled a muscle in my back and hurt my foot. So its like I really can't win. I was going to walk to the gym but maybe its best to just take the bus I'll have to see how I feel. I dont want to use my pain as an excuse but I dont want to push myself too hard to where I can't work out at all. We'll see how it goes.

Good Monday morning, K and buddies! Ah, spot-melting sounds like a fabulous idea. If you can make it work, let the rest of us know how you did it, okay? ;o) Not that it ever gets warm enough up here....
I am finally feeling better this morning and was at work at 7am (new summer schedule allows a 7am-3pm shift). It'll be nice to be done a wee bit early. Traffic was better at that time, too (only took 30 min to get to work instead of 40-45).
I believe I am shrinking, too, due to pants fitting looser this morning and a general "lighter" feeling. Forgot to step on the scale before breakfast and coffee though, so will check tomorrow after a stellar day today. ;o)
Newfound favourite snack: pre-washed and cut raw sweet potatoes! Y'all may have seen bags of these around for ages, but we just got them here and they are AWESOME! Low-cal (60cal per cup) high fibre (3g) and crunchy/tasty/satisfying! Had to let you all know!
Have a wonderful day. Don't forget to get your heart rate up for at least 15min (to start, more if you're already in shape or have been exercising for a while). I WILL do 10 flights of stairs today, no matter what. C'mon, BUTT, shrink some more!! ;o)
Hugs,

Good morning, G! You're hot, too?? And you're a Floridian, so "hot" must be REALLY hot! How'd everyone but ME luck out with warmness??? ;o)
Looking at open houses sounds like a lot of fun (I remember the days well). One year will FLY by, and the perfect home will be yours when it's supposed to be. AND you will be done school (?) by that time. It'll all fall into place. What's the housing market like right now? Are prices going up/down/remaining constant? Keep looking, you never know. Prices are always lower in winter, too. ;o) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys.
Have a happy day! Eggplant parmesan.......DROOL.......THAT was cruel and unnecessary, G!LOL I was all set up for a healthy day and now I cannot get that out of my mind!! (kidding...but what a great fantasy right now). Work it off like I KNOW you can. hugs,

Thanks Roni!
I thought the ecliptical would be best too. Stretching is a great idea, I'll most likely take the bus instead of walking so I dont strain myself. Thanks for the tip!

Ooh, that new schedule sounds nice! I'd love to get home that early!!
And yay for the shrinking! Having pants getting too big is a wonderful thing!! Keep it up girl!
I've never heard of eating raw sweet potato, but I may have to try that- sounds kinda tasty =)
And as for me and the housing stuff- I hope the year goes fast! Is it bad that part of the reason I want it to fly is because I want to get a puppy?? I won't get one before we have 1) more space and 2) a backyard...so I must wait some more =( I'm not really sure how the prices are going as of now, we really just started. And one woman told us it was a buyer's market, but then another told us things are getting bought up fast, so that didn't seem to jive- haha! We're just looking at what we might want, what we can compromise on, and what we NEED ;) And also, how much we are willing to spend for each thing. Todd seems to want more than we need, and I'm very content with a house that will last us 5-7 years but wouldn't be a forever house. So we'll see how that goes ;)
I'll keep y'all updated if we find something! And we were told about the winter thing, so we may really pick up our efforts then if we know we're staying in town!
Good Afternoon.We had a very busy but totaly fun weekend.Kierstin had her dance recital Friday Night and 2 performances on Sat and 1 on Sunday and it was so fun to watch all the girls and some boys dance!
Karen I am going to make it this year I think THINK without the AC ..I hurt so bad this winter I think cause of the cold even if I was in the house most of the time and usally in the summer I hurt too cause of the AC...I know I should turn the AC up but then I feel stuffy so usallt have it set on 73-74 ..WELL who knows but I just have vowed to not use AC I will just use my floor fans and celling ones.
We were going there for awhile no AC, but then yesterday it had to get up to 87 with full blown humidity. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for that yucky, sticky, heavy air feeling. *shivers* gross! So we kicked it on finally.
The dance recitals sound really neat! Dance is so much fun to watch. I wish I was that graceful.

Afternoon all!
Had MOM's group this morning and took the kids to the local park for 2 hours. Tomorrow we are going to the park with another group of moms. Lunch Wednesday, story time Thursday and to a neighbor's house Friday for Father's Day present crafts. We're busy, but in a good way!
Bruce and I, Saturday night after a few drinks and watching House Hunters decided to paint our bedroom. We went to Lowes Sunday morning and spent all day painting. It looks really nice! We've needed to paint our room, it's been builder white for too long. It is the same "dry earth" that we used in the living room.
Doing laundry now...not much else to do. Aiden is napping and Emily is outside playing with the neighbor kids. Kind of nice to just sit for a second now! :)
