HI everyone
Well, I just realized I am not going to finish my LazyMan by Memorial Day...I think the compost distracted me too much. I am getting exercise, just not the type I set out to do last month. Oh well. I am glad I got back in the pool to swim, I do really like that. I really don't like biking on a stationary bike...it is good to know these things. My next goal is going to be more about my bad behaviors, I think. I really need to work on snacking and sneaking bites here and there. That really slows me down and they are the hardest of my bad habits to control. I was telling DH the other night that sometimes I think I treat food like an alcoholic treats alcohol. I don't mean to minimize the seriousness of alcoholism, but I do catch myself exhibiting some of the behaviors ( ie sneaking, not knowing when to stop, denial) Maybe my goal will be to sit at the kitchen table to eat. I've tried this one so many times, but one of these days it has to click, right?
Susan - compost pile is half done. I've been a little stiff and sore, but not too bad. Can't wait to hear all about your new place.
Sue - :bighugs: But not too big - yikes! Hope the shot helps your rib pain...hopefully the doc has really figured it out this time. You've been living with this for a long time and you deserve a break.
Crsitina - OUCH! Where did the ball hit you? I use to play softball and can just feel the smack...ouch ouch ouch. Hope you feel better soon and can get back to your exercise. Sorry about the home selling woes...I really hope you can get a buyer soon and be done with it.
Sassy-
Hang in there...I'm jealous, my peonies haven't popped yet and I am getting impatient!
Francie...well, depends on what kind of guns you are talking about
Hope you can see the actual show, but it is so cool that you can watch the practice runs.
Mindee - GL with the testing...it's great that you are getting them checked at a young age..early intervention is the best! Summer will go by fast...run them outside at every opportunity
Jules- your shade plants sounds lovely. I dunno about the shasta daisies, I think they need sun, but they are hardy so it may not matter. Lupines are so pretty. I have a north side that get mostly shade with a few spots that get alot of sun (our lot is on an angle) I planted strawberries in the sunny parts. In the shady areas I have siberian iris, hostas, rose campion ( which seems to grow everywhere!), mahonia, and ferns. I agree with Sue that ferns do really well and they are easy to propagate. Every winter I cut them back to the ground then all the spring growth is new and pretty.
Kathy - Hi - hope you are having a good day
Hi to anyone else reading this. I have to get a stew going in the crock pot and bake some muffins. Then I hope to balance my check book and water my plants before bus stop time. Such excitement :P I just heard the rain start to come down, so garden is out...hopefully the sun will return in the next day or two and I can get back out in the yard and finish up the compost pile
Have a great day, everyone!
ETA - anyone watching the Bachelorette? I watched the 24 finale last night, so I skipped it, but was wondering if it was worth tuning in. Jillian seems to be out to have good time...don't think she expects to get a husband out of it, and that would make her one of the more realistic people ever to do this show :P Still could be fun to tune it....
