Afternoon all!* TGIF!
Michelle – Sounds like you have enough exercise challenges going on right now (e.g., the trainer!) without adding another!* You’re getting a lot of exercise – bravo! *
My squat challenge includes sumo squats, which I’d never heard of before but interpreted to be like plié squats.* Looks like a busy weekend ahead for you.* I have book club this weekend and that’s it.* We’re getting fall color, but it’s really just starting.*
Happy – I hope the weather is still nice and you can take some time out from the basement project to enjoy it.* So I take it the sump pumps will have some sort of backup battery system that will need to be maintained?* I know the purpose of the shop is to benefit the humane society… but it doesn’t seem like a good idea to have a dog in the shop, especially when you don’t know how customers react to dogs and vice-versa.* And if the dog isn’t fully potty-trained – another reason not to.* **Re freezing the shredded chicken – the way bf & I are about cooking (inconsistent), I prefer to just put food in the freezer than risk having it spoil before we get around to using something.* I hate wasting food!* Yes, I was wearing the tinted moisturizer as foundation.* Like I said, the Aveeno seemed to cover adequately, but this CG one is much more sheer.* I’ll have to try another brand next time.* How did your haircut turn out?* I forgot when your Will & Trusts class was supposed to be – did you go?* How was it?* I’ve been procrastinating about that!
Ceejay – I sure get wanting to retire sooner rather than later, but the finances have to be taken into consideration, as well as physical health.* Only you know enough about those things to make a decision.* Same for where you choose to live upon retirement.* Stand firm and don’t let your family butt in!* They’ve obviously ticked you off concerning this topic, so the time away will be a good thing!!* Good job on the exercise!!* I need to cut my calories as well – the scale has not been cooperating for me, and I shouldn’t really blame the messenger, haha.* I hope you feel better once you cook your own food and adjust your diet to suit the diverticulosis.* Good news about the cholesterol levels!!* Whoo!!
Shad – Again, getting worn out just reading your post - *shifting soil, planting things…you’re just a ball of energy, aren’t you??
* How did the biscuit icing go with the girls?* Sounds fun.* Are 100’s and 1000’s those little sprinkles or have I completely mis-guessed?* The bed sounds great – I like the idea of using otherwise wasted space for storage.* I have a couple underbed storage bins, otherwise, I just have a lot of dust bunnies under the bed.** Good luck putting it together.* Hope it’s as easy as the guy at the shop stated!
Terra – Busy day for you yesterday.* What did you cook in your cooking class??
Hellos to Susie & Annie!!
==
Been a busy couple days at work.* And of course I haven’t been able to get to my quarter end work yet.* I will crank on that early next week.*
I just chilled out last night (thanks for the permission on that Ceejay!).* I did only one set of my squats, and finished the other two this morning to finish up yesterday (6 hours late, lol).**Tonight*I’ll need to finish my final day of the challenge!*
I did my 15 pushups this morning also.*
Tomorrow*morning I’ll go to Jazzercise.* I have book club in the evening so I need to get a snack for that.* We’re discussing the book “Gone Girl”.*
Nothing else planned for the weekend, but I’ve been meaning to get out in back and get the big pile of brush separated into bundles and secured with twine so it can be put to the curb and picked up by the village.* I don’t want any critters thinking that pile’s a good place for them to nest!*
I’d also like to go out for a bike ride!* Famous last words…posting now.* Have a good weekend everyone.
