I'm sipping my coffee and finishing my to-do list for today and it's frightening. I had a great time goofing off the last few days, now it's time to pay the piper. We had omelets for dinner last night, so I've still got my turkey stock and leftover turkey to make soup for dinner tonight, so that'll be quick and easy. I will definitely make some time for a walk and/or yoga. Off now to check out the Cyber Monday deals and see if I can make a big dent in this Christmas list. Safe travels to Ruth!

good morning,

sipping my coffee too. I had trouble logging in one day and then the day got away from me. I feel like I am so busy but really not accomplishing alot.

Ruth and Cottage - glad you had such a wonderful time. Hope Ruth's trip back home is swift and safe. Its raining up here in central Ontario but her area might not be affected.

Debbie - have a good day. Wow, a possiblity of 10 people at supper and you are working today, hope DH is in the kitchen.

Karen - hope your injury is not serious. Love having them home but its great to see them go too.

Chickadee - take the plunge and weigh in, you might be surprised.

McK - all I have to say is wow to your day.

Schmoodle - A walk or yoga is great. Hope you accomplish lots today.

take care
Sophie

Good Morning I suddenly realized I never said hello I've been here and caught up but kept getting distracted. The sun is finally burning off the fog and it looks like a lovely day around here. DW and I are going out for a short walk after lunch. Other than that it's chores and one more day of relaxing for us.

Schmoodle - I finally dragged a yoga DVD out the other night. It just about killed me but it was good Now I'm playing with a Wii Dance thing for a few days.

Morning,

I am grateful to be alive! DW, while driving, couldn't see (burning eye thing) and we were in the middle lane on the NJ Turnpike - it was scary and I had to drive from the passenger seat and pull off to the side of the road. It was nuts.

We got home late, slept in and I have to go food shopping/meal plan. It is such a nice day outside today - too bad we wasted it!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

My MIL gave me a Zumba set she bought in Jan and never used. And I had been playing Wii Just Dance 2. Not sure I like the Zumba - I feel kind of dumb. But I really felt it in my core!

I rented the original Just Dance. It's fun but there are only about 6-7 songs I can stand so it would definitely get old. I'm going to try 2 next weekend. I've been thinking about the Zumba, check-in after you've had some time with it and let me know what you think?

We got home to Beautiful Remlap around 3:00 this afternoon. It was such a great visit with the family in Louisiana. I ate too much, but it was all stuff I can't even buy in Alabama. I did say NO to donuts. I took my sister's Jazzercise class one morning. Oh, how I love and miss Jazzercise. We also took a couple of nice walks. I'll see what the scale says in the morning.
Several of us took a Painting with a Twist class. I painted a Blue Dog (Rodrigue). It was so much fun! Who knew I could paint!

It will feel good to get back to healthy eating. Christmas shouldn't be the eating orgy Thanksgiving was...

Home again. Home again. Rig-a-jig-jig! After a couple of rigs and jags - those turnpikes are tricky. The need signs that say "Turn here, Ruthie." Anyhow, I did it and did not get completely lost. I want a t-shirt that says I drove the Penn Turnpike! A couple of scary bits including a truck that got it closed after he slopped driveway sealant all over it and caused the 476 South to be closed! And so it goes.

Had an absolutely wonderful fun and relaxing time with Linda and her family. You Americans sure know how to celebrate the season.

Right now I have a Scotch, the water is heating for a hot soak, I don't need supper since I must confess I had some MickeyD mid-afternoon. (Yes, it still tastes the same - I don't think I've had it since 1998!)

All I can say is if you get a chance to meet another 3FC in real life, don't hesitate! I have many friends I've met on here although Linda (Cottage) is special.

Night all. I hope your holiday weekend was as wonderful as mine.

(By the way, I bought a Keurig as a Santa present to me!)

Ruth Enjoy your scotch and soak in the tub, and have a good night's sleep. You deserve it, Big Sister, and thank you for such a wonderful weekend.
