Went to a Celebration of Life for a cousin's husband this afternoon. Not fun. Glad to be home.
Today was Sara and Pete's 5th Anniversary. They had planned to go to Carmel for two days but when we couldn't watch Bean, they cancelled. That made me sad. Hopefully they are enjoying the day. Haven't heard from them.
Having lunch with two friends tomorrow then I need to wrap stuff for Christmas Eve.
Chris1 -
On my feet way too long today. My hip and knee are so angry. Finished wrapping all of Ronan's Christmas...Pat put together some big toys...I stripped the bed in his bedroom and was washing Paw Patrol sheets and comfort when we remembered Ronan is coming over tomorrow morning while I help his mom with some bank stuff. Egads!!! Big toys and Paw Patrol bedding is now hiding in the garage! Oh, man!
Chris1 -
Chris I hope the bank stuff went smoothly. And please do not cut off your leg.
Karen so glad you are feeling better.
I have been thinking of you guys a lot this last week. First I was so busy. The Judges had terribly busy work loads which translated that we were all busy. Then I felt guilty for not checking in with you guys. And my muscles are spasming in my lower back. Physical therapy soon. So not getting in hardly any exercise. Have not gotten on the scale for a few days.
I hope you feel better Karen. Being sick just sucks.
Chris I did not see where you were having surgery soon. Crossing my toes for you.
Christmas will be just Rocky and I. We had the family over Saturday. Lots of finger foods. And 8 kids in my house! Egads! I got Rocky an Echelon bike. Hope I spelled that right. I wanted him to be able to ride even in the winter. It really helps his knee with stiffness and pain. A friend helped me get it into the exercise room. I hope he uses it alot.
Miss you all.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! Hope it is a wonderful few days! Will try to check in more.
I'm hosting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...tons of cooking to do
Enjoy gals!

We had Sara, Pete, Ronan and Bean over for Christmas Eve dinner and presents. Ronan made out like a fat bandit today. He was so happy with his Paw Patrol Tower!! That was all he played with after he helped Grandpa bring it in from the garage. He's so damn cute!
Have a great Christmas, my friends.
Chris2 -
I need a picture of Ronan with his tower. No idea what it is. I am so glad you were with family.
Karen you are so right. Need to check in more also. Hope your Christmas eve was a great success.
Took goodies to a friend of ours. Had a nice evening. We took the kids for a walk. Rocky took Barney and left the old guys with me. Joey was insistent that dad went the other way. Blind little goot ball. I had to keep redirecting him. I made brownies for the neighbors. I sure hope Rocky likes his exercise bike.
Several of our neighbors came over and have Rocky gifts for clearing out the snow around their homes. And another for all the help we give them.
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.

So busy...

So the scale is responding to reentey after my two day splurge :-) glad it is going down in the right direction. Did a really good job getting back on track yesterday. Sent all my guest home with all the leftovers and sweets :-)
Had dinner out with a good friend of mine last night and ate sensibly.
176.4 this morning.
Taking bella to sewing camp today (she's making a dress over a few classes)..
So plan on being out and about all day. Thinking of walking in this great park around a lake. It is a 6 mile loop....we will see my energy level Otherwise maybe the gym.
Have a great Friday!
Karen1 -
I hope Bella likes sewing class. My mom was a seamstress and taught me to sew when I was 7 or 8 years old. Sewed for years and years. Worked for Singer Company for years. Loved fabric. Then after Nick was born my 401 sewing machine totally messed up and could not be repaired and that was the end of my sewing.
Worked out this morning...felt good. Back on track w/my eating. Almost bought peppermint a few mins ago but didn't. Probably should unsubscribe from the two online places I get it from...probably should...
Chris1 -
Chris - wow...quite a history of sewing for you! Neat!
Well today is my birthday and I worked out to start the next year of life off right! I'm 16 pounds lighter than a year ago....happy about that. 15 or so to go!
Going to see star wars with the family and then out to dinner.
Karen1 -
Happy Birthday, Karen!! Have a great time with your family! Great goings on the 16 pounds! Congratulations!
How does Bella like sewing camp?
The kids all have colds...again. We are staying away this time. Sara has all next week off. I hope she gets better and doesn't have to spend it in bed.
My weight is down a few pounds from the end of last year. Well, I'll just keep at it. It is really clear that all the walking I used to do helped a lot. Now I'm pretty much a couch potato except for working out w/our trainer which tend to be really easy workouts right now. No battle ropes or slam balls yet, but soon.
Chris1 -
We had a great time at Star Wars yesterday and a nice dinner afterwards. Good birthday overall;)
Bella loves sewing camp Chris. She has taken on a big project of making a dress that will take multiple classes to sew. It is looking great.
Congrats Chris for being down on weight from last year! Every pound is a triumph! Every ounce!
Tomorrow is my Bella's birthday and she's having a few friends sleep over...so need to do a few things for that today.
My family has all 3 birthdays in the same week....crazy time of the year for us.

Great picture, Karen! You have a wonderful family.
The kids are still sick. Sara caught pink eye from somewhere. Ugh! Nasty stuff. We delivered some things to their front porch...didn't go in...last cold they shared with us lasted way too long for this girl. We love them like crazy, but they can keep this one to themselves.
Can't tell you what my scale said this morning, but it wasn't great or I would have remembered. bwahahah!

Chris -good idea to stay away from the germs! Hope they feel better soon!0

Happy New Year everyone!
Wow I have missed alot.
Karen happy late birthday. I am so glad to hear Bella is sewing. Hardly anyone does it now. What an awesome hobby. Great photo! I like Star Wars also.
Chris loved the pictures of Ronan and Christmas. Sorry to hear he is ill. And I agree, they can keep the terms at home. Pink eye can be horrible. I used to sew some. I crocheted cookies and knitted some also.
Rocky loves his bike. Barney is doing better. I am seeing a physical therapist Friday. Picking up some weights my daughter is done using. I wish they would return things when they are finish with them. But it gives me an excuse to visit them.
Work was slow today. Our fearless leader was off. And one of the guys tried to flex his muscles and tell me what to do. Nope! I let him know I had seniority and was lead officer. I hate bossy people. I was tactful, but firm. Chris you can appreciate that I am sure.
I bought a massage ball. Nothing funnier than a 59 year old woman trying to roll around on a ball the size of a large grapefruit trying to work muscle cramps out of her posterior! Hahaha
Have a great new year. We miss you Paula!
Shelley0 -
Thanks Shelley! It was a fun time.
Interested in how the massage ball works out!
Karen0 -
Karen there are some smaller, and some resembling a rolling pin. And some for your feet. They help, sure looks funny though.
