Good morning-


OK...it's just a "w" word.


Just when I thought DH is back to work.

Live With Passion!

"The joy you give to others,is the joy that comes back to you".I love that.Do you ever consider how many ways in any day we have the chance to make a difference in someone else's day? Just the simple act of similing, saying thank you and other little things can make such a big difference.

Sorry to hear about Johnny, hope he feels better.

I'm thinking about mixing up my workout today.Maybe 10 mins on the slide, 10 mins of step and a 10 min run.We'll see.I need to get somewhat organized with Christmas business and defintely clean up my house.We'll see about all that too.I'm really really hoping my friend calls and say "let's color your hair."She doesn't actually work in town anymore and does my hair on her days off.I don't like asking her to work on days off so it just may be time to go somewhere else.

I thought positive yesterday and had a great day.Maybe today I'll think whimsical thoughts :) Have a great day gang!!!

My message title would read "Totally Bogged Down with Too Much To Do Wednesday" but I digress.

I headed to the basement to climb on the treadmill for my cardio and couldn't find the treadmill under all of the crap piled up on it. I took it as a sign. At first I read the sign as, "oh goodie...can't workout today". But as my morning has progressed, I see that I MUST workout today or I'll go over the proverbial (and possibly literal) EDGE. So, I'll be layering on the clothes and hat and gloves and scarf and braving the cold and wind for a cardio outside in the 27 degree temps. And I'll darn well LOVE it!

Can't get to the weight machine so I will blow that part of the workout off.

Think positively, think positively...that will be my mantra today :)

Sassy

Well it sounds like you have an unusual DH when he's sick. I don't blame him for being a little whiney. Those wisdom teeth are a bummer to pull out and I'm surprised he still has them. Hope he's feeling better today. Could it be he wounded his pride a bit on the football field? ;-)

Last night's Jazzercise class at the South Center was fun. The new center is bright and colorful and the floor is wonderful. I met Mailani at her house and we carpooled down there. I looked on the map and it's just about a 25 mile drive from my house to the new center. I probably won't be going too often unless I can carpool with her. She's the instructor so she HAS to go...LoL. Anyway, had a good class and met a couple new people. Typical fun.

Today I'm planning a Jazz class followed by body sculpting. The woman that teaches the 6:45 body sculpting class is a little bummed because her class size is down so I'm going to try to take it each week. She's a great instructor and I would hate to see her go. Besides, I can use the weight training. Been kind of slacking in that area lately.

Yesterday I called this yoga center I found here in town. I'm thinking of trying out a yoga class monday night. I've never been to a class and I would like to try it out. But I need to call and get some more information before I decide what to do. I really need to balance my heavy cardio workouts with something soothing and relaxing.

Then, yesterday morning, I get this phone call from my Aunt Karen (Dad's sister) telling me that he's in the hospital but not to worry and that he'd call me later in the evening. So I called the hospital and after trying for an hour or so, got him on the phone and he tells me he had an 'attack'. What kind of attack who knows. I don't like to use the word, but he can be such a hypochondriac that it drives me crazy. I never know whether to believe him or not when it comes to being sick. He gets so focused on what could be wrong that it gets worse and worse until he has his 'attack' and winds up in the hospital. I know how callous it sounds, but I have serious doubts about his 'heart condition' and I wonder how much of what he's told me that his doctor said is real and how much embellishment has been done. I would seriously love to get his doctor in a small room and have a short, pointed discussion on the matter.

*sigh* What next?

Yesterday wasn't such a wonderful day. I'm going to make today a great one! Or at least a whimsical one...can one think whimsical thoughts? I'm gonna try.

Hi Lori,


When it rains it pours, doesn't it? Sure hope your dad is not seriously ill. You heard about the hypochrondriac's epitaph, didn't you?? "I told you I was sick." ;-)


Have a whimsical day!


Hugs,

Rhonda

Good morning!

The head and stomach attack has turned into a simply drippy, wet head cold. I knew it wasn't too serious when I got really ravenously hungry and thinking about food Tuesday evening didn't flip my stomach anymore. DH picked himself up an Outback steak dinner, which I shared a bit of (no potatoes for me, still!). Then my cold broke through a little while later. Wow - not enough tissue in the world!

Workout tonight? I'd love to do light cardio and some serious weight work for my legs and some light UB weights. My legs are feeling a bit like marshmallows - "fluffy" - and I don't want to lose the tone they've developed.

We're also going to get the lights on the tree once and for all, and finish decorating it tomorrow night - I think we're having a little guest for a sleepover this weekend, and I'd like all the wires and strings of things to be safely out of the way.

Have a great day, everyone! Thanks for all your nice thoughts.

I didn't make it to yoga last night. I got home and cooked dinner in time. But DD had oodles of homework that she needed help with, plus it was extremely windy and only about 6 degrees. I stayed in, did home work and some of my own yoga.

Yoga again tonight at home. I am beginning to wonder if the electronic God's are working against me here. My stereo is having brain freeze, and my mini cassette player/boom box thing produces some pretty evil voices when I try to play my yoga tapes. Videos are out because DH loves his evening TV time. I'm just doing my own thing right now.

We are having plumbing woes, darn commode pipe keeps blocking up, you know what I mean. I now get an upper body wo in plunging mornings and evenings, but it isn't helping. DH mentioned snaking it tonight. I hope that works.

I hope everyone is feeling healthier now, are you taking vitamins????

Good Wednesday Workout! Did a 35 min on the MFH, then yoga - I have really been feeling strong the past week or so, so doing the crow was a great experience!

Updated my web page again - added a guest book and more poetry - guess that is where my mind has been, I've been writing again. Seems like I can only concentrate on so many things at once.

Thanks! My Wednesday workout is the last "real" at the gym workout until Saturday morning, and I have had a day off on Tuesday, so I usually try to give it a little extra push and make it count for something. Thursday, then, is just walking and whatever, and Friday is the 12oz. bicep curl.....(well, wine glasses aren't that heavy, but it makes for better conversation to say it this way)

I just need more hours in the day in order to post more. Things here have gotten sooooo busy, and I don't see it letting up until after Christmas.
