Well, I'm all for getting rid of those dimples! Thanks for sharing, Gloria. Ya know every time I type out your name, all these different songs run through my head! G L O R I A...Gloria!
Skittles...I hope that all is well with your hubby. I'm glad he's getting testing done. Too often people just brush off real symptoms. Hugs and prayers to both of you. I'm glad to hear that you're walking every day!
Lucky...I hope that Dad is doing okay. Hang in there, girlfriend.
BarbG...You reminded me...I've been wanting to search for my Oxycise tapes. Commuter tape, huh? Hmmm....sounds interesting.
Andria...Can't wait to hear about your visit. Or is it X rated?
Cheryll...I'm with you. I'm not a huge fan of exercise machines. They're great if you have the discipline to USE them! The ones I've owned were useful only as 'valets' to hold my clothing! I much prefer an exercise class...step or some kind of aerobics. Even an exercise tape at home....just something to keep me moving around. I guess it's all a personal choice, though. What EVER gets you moving is good!
Tricia...I've been meaning to respond to your post about limiting yourself to contentment level. I have a different twist on that. I've worked at the same job, more or less--different shifts--for almost 30 years! In the back of my mind, I've always considered myself somewhat of a failure for not moving on, moving up, finishing college. But when I really stop to consider what I've done with those thirty years, I realize that had I not worked there, I never would have met my husband.
Working there for so long has given me the leeway to finagle my hours to suit our family's needs. One of us has always been able to care for the kids, we never needed to put them in daycare. My kids have gotten 'equal time' with both parents since we'd alternate our time off to be with them. The little bits of time that we do have all together are precious, and we enjoy each other's company immensely!
I guess what I'm saying is, if you're searching for something, try looking from a different angle, you may find exactly what you're looking for!
Well, I've been here WAY longer than I intended. I have GOT to get to sorting the mountain of pictures that I have for the photo montage we're making for Mom and Dad. Somehow, I took this upon myself and now I've been procrastinating for days! (like now, for instance) TIme to get cracking'!
Today is Mom and Dad's actual 50th anniversary! We're going down tomorrow for Mass, where they will renew their vows. And there's a big snowstorm predicted! Just makes me that much more thankful that we planned the big party for April! (Not that we haven't ever gotten a blizzard in April!)
Have a great weekend all!
