Good Morning Gorgeous Goddesses.

It is a b-e-a-utiful sunny Saturday in Northern Virginia. But darn cold. 38 degrees. Brrrrr. I'll wait a bit before I hit the pavement for a power walk to the lake and back. Couldn't do abs yesterday, still, because of this shoulder strain. It's feeling a bit better, but still very much "there".

What else is everyone doing today? I'm sipping the first of my allotted two cups of joe for the day. Haven't had Starbucks since last Sunday. Not having any today.

Lots of little projects to do around the house. Will have the boys working in the garden (biggest "boy", too). I'll be doing some things in the house, it appears.

Hugs!

Sassy<-talking good talk to herself this morning.

Good morning yourself Goddess!Hope the shoulder is completely better soon.I have tons of work in the house and in CL today.But everything is going to revolve around my workout today.Yesterday I got on my treadmill and felt so good.I pushed it alittle harder yesterday and need to do that more.I have a simple khaki skirt that I love and used to wear so much.It had gotten too tight so yesterday I got it in the next size up.What a bu**er to find the next size was close to being too tight!!!!I decided it could either discourage me or motivate me.I'm going with motivating me.So I'm going to focus on where I want to be and what it's going to take to get me there.Keeping in mind where I am and what got me here!!!!!

Hope everyone has a Simply Stupendous Saturday!!!!!!

Miss P

I'm at work today. Nuff said about that.

Workout? I'm thinking of a rest day today. I have a ton of stuff to get done today after work while the weather is decent so I may just put it off until tomorrow. Besides, this infection has me feeling a bit under the weather.

I'm enjoying my one and only soda for the day. Doc says no more soda or caffiene period, but I talked her down to one a day to see how that goes. She says that both are contributing to my urinary issues. Anyway, I'm going to enjoy it while I can. I've become addicted to diet Vanilla Pepsi. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

So I'm off to work now. Have a great day!

Good Morning,

It is a beautiful day here with a bright blue sky but very chilly and windy. Thought about a walk outside today but had sleep issues last night and a dog that thinks he should roam the great outdoors in the middle of the night. So it was a little extra sleep time this morning and got in my workout time on the treadmill.

Thinking of starting to tackle the basement disaster. We want to do some construction down here but can't even think about it until the place is straightened out.

Hope your Saturday is Simply Stupendous!

Hello, everyone. I'm not a happy camper because I have to work 9 hours today and 6 tomorrow! Yesterday, ds caught one large mouthed bass, but we left early to come home as the fish just weren't biting. BIG MISTAKE! My landlord (who lives next door) decided to knock on my door - I was lying down for a nap. I should have just ignored the knock. He was going to fertilize our back yard, "fine", I said. He then proceeded to bang around the whole afternoon - very noisy! Next vacation day, I'm leaving this town & getting away from people! I have to eat my meals in 10 min. because of constantly shuffling from job to job & now I can't even get any peace from anyone on my vacation day!!! I absolutely hate living out here and am leaving the day my son turns 18. I think it's back to Florida I come, Rhonda!! LOL! People out here just think nothing of impositions & NEVER call before they come over. That really gripes me. I think that is so RUDE.

Anyway, that's my whine for the week. And AF left a week ago, so it isn't hormones screaming!

I did a good total body workout with lots of stretching. I need more stretching to get rid of this stress I have from my frazzling life. BTW, Sassy, I tried a tofu frozen vanilla soft serve. I really liked it! I had a stomach ache the day before after I had a frozen yogurt and then the next day tried the tofu and no stomach ache! (Not that I'll have the tofu treat everyday, but now I know that ice cream and frozen yogurts don't agree with my tummy). I hope someday to be able to have the soy stuff on my cereal. I do drink soy protein powder in my fruit smoothies.

Let's see - 9 hours of Dillard's - I'll put some miles in walking, I bet! I'll try to make it worth my while & see if I can walk about the floor at a fast pace today.

Hope you all have a very nice Saturday! I will have to work on it, myself!

I'm chomping at the bit to plant all the flowers I got yesterday evening, but am enjoying a very nice IM with Grace right now -- just two "Florida" girls checking in with each other... ;-)


It's a beautiful day, and I'm planning to spend most of it in the yard. My quads are a little sore from the dancing yesterday. Sad, that I'm so out of shape that I'd feel it. The mind is willing, but the body isn't!


I think we're going to go see the new Johnny Depp movie tonight.


I'll post more later.

Wow! For you to whine a bit...it must really be bad! I know you'll snap right out of it. I don't blame you for being annoyed that you couldn't have peace and quiet on your one day off. Hope you get some rest tonight. You work so hard...when I feel like complaining about the fact that I'm always tired...I try to think of you, Kat. You're my hero(ine).

Danny is so lucky to have you as a mom. If I were in your shoes, I would have said the heck with the ex...let him work it out and I would have moved to Florida. Let HIM follow his son to where his son is living! That's not advice, that is just what I would do. You're busting your butt trying to survive and hating it! At least move to Florida where you want to be and bust your butt there ;)

Sending you tons of love and hugs.

Sassy

Sorry about your shoulder, Sassy! I missed your post about that. Hope it better soon so you can enjoy the spring like weather when it arrives. Sounds chilly there today...I can just imagine how it is in NY!

Hope you can get that walk in. Enjoy your coffee. I just enjoyed a nice up of decaf tea...well...better than nothing.

Have a good weekend.

You're too sweet, Sassy! Actually, I DID whine too much! Instead of whining, I need to take a deep breath & just do what I want to do. I will quit answering the door and the phone when it's during MY time. I will take a day off from Longview the next chance I get. We all need down time & I have just let others wants and needs come before mine. There's not one good thing that comes from fussing about it and I know it. Action is what is needed.

As far as moving to FL before ds is grown, I only stay here NOW so I don't uproot him - I moved from school to school when I was little, so I know how that feels! I had a pretty good jr. high and high school experience only because my family finally settled down. DS wants to go to University of Florida (and hopefully won't change his mind). I look forward to that!

Thanks for being here for me and thanks for the sweet compliments!

Your whiney friend,

Kat
