    Hair- done. The ends of the highlighted pieces were a great blond, the roots a little orangish. Good enough. I'll just recolor the roots in 3 weeks when the grey is blinding everybody anyway. :laugh:

    Gym- done. I ran about 2 miles and lifted today. I felt great but I had this stupid side cramp that wouldn't go away. I had to keep stopping and walk til it went away, then I'd run again. The only thing I did differently was eat a banana with my English muffin before the gym. Who knows.

    Pedi- done. Ahhh, nothing like a good pedi. If I could have paid that lady to keep rubbing my feet all day, I would have! Heavenly.

    Shopping- done, well, ok, I'm REALLY good at shopping and spending money so it's not like it was hard work, but it was for ME. Shhhhh- dont' tell. Oh wait, DH already knows that I spent faster than he makes, poor guy. I stopped and got some comfy shorts that aren't XL (or my workout clothes) to wear in the car on our trip. DH laughed at the Nike ones I had on yesterday, they were so big I could have fit 2 of my behinds in them.

    Hope all my teammates are having a good one and taking care of themselves!

    Hello Everyone! I have had a busy day today already and it is just 12:24. Washing sheets, putting clean sheets on the bed, putting away clean clothes, making muffins, putting up clean dishes, putting dirty ones in the dishwasher, trying to get my daughter to eat some lunch which didn't happen and finally getting her down for a nap. Now it's about time for a shower. I found out Saturday evening while I was trying to enjoy my day at the lake with my family that the company that I work for, the owner's son had killed himself Friday night. Today is the receiving and I am going to go. They are a very nice family and it is so shocking to everyone. I dread going either way. I feel so bad for those people.

    Andrew-I have swam in the lake since I was about 4 so I know all about what can lie in the bottoms that you don't see. I think it will be ok. There are always lots of mussel shells in there so I am thinking and hoping that is all it was!

    Lori-way to go on the YOU time! But 5:30 in the morning to color your hair? Wow girl you are on a roll! Woohoo! And I bet it looks fabulous too! Have a great pedi and workout too!

    Jenni-Glad you had fun fwimming. I did some of that myself on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it! First time this year and it was wonderful! And the water was so warm!!

    Andrew & Beth-have a great vacation and be careful! You know you are totally awesome Andrew!!!

    Jeannie-Hey girl! Hope you are having a great day too!!!

    Hello Shuntae, Vanessa, Sam, April, Lynnie, Bobbi, Janie, Lori, Marla and everyone else! Sorry if I missed you!!

    Good Morning Black Team!!! Hope everyone's weekend was great!! I did a lot of fwimming as my daughter puts it! We went fwimming and fwinging! I love 2 year old talk! So funny!! I had a pretty active weekend. I ate pretty well except for the stop at the ice cream shop after my softball game, but that was the only time I "treated" myself! I took care of myself by taking a nap yesterday!! Woo Hoo for nap time! Well, just wanted to pop in and say hi! Have a great day everyone!!

    Jenni double posted, that means she really means it....:laugh:

    Sam- I love your av too.

    I'm tired, serves me right for getting up at 5:30. I'm still dealing with my hair too. I had a really orange hunk, dying it back brown. This hair stuff is a lot of work.

    I'm done taking care of myself. Uncle! lol

    Hope everybody had a good day. I had a good workout, made me feel good all day. At one time in my life I would have thought it seems so silly but it's such a mood lifter. I get in the gym, see myself in the mirrors, realize I look ok, see some muscles I NEVER had and all is well. It even makes me want to eat better for the day.

    I have had a killer sweet tooth going on since the weekend, just checked the calendar, makes sense. Oh well. Part of life.

But i got almost 3 miles in in just over 30 minutes. Tomorrow hubs has to go in and train some new guys for a couple hours So I have to get my workout in early! thrn off to daytona for awhile.

    Sam-Your AV is very cute indeedy! Good to see you got your workout in after all!

    Lori-I hope you get your hair fixed. That is why I don't do mine myself. I'm always worried about getting it to look right! Uugghhh!!!

    I just burned 944 calories in under 2 hours cleaning the backyard up with lots of raking and pulling weeds and ho-ing weeds or baby trees I think. I also found a nice yellow jacket nest and they loved me! I got stung 4 times before I could get in the house. Couldn't strip down outside, my brother was there, couldn't strip down right inside the house, my dad was there. So I made my mom make sure I had no more on my clothes and I ran to the bathroom to strip down. My first sting was right about my you know what! Not nice!! The 2nd went right up my shorts leg and got me below my butt check. 3rd and 4th were by the same one I believe on my back towards the side....love handles! Thank God I'm not allergic! Them are some mean little bas***s! Hope you all had a great day too! I think I burned a few hundred of those calories running from them thangs!

    Lori- I almost missed your new av, it is really cute!

    Renae- you poor thing, I would have been freaking out. I don't do bees.

    I am on here now logging my food... for the entire day, what I can remember anyway. I wanted and apple with peanut butter but thought I better evaluate before I did it.

    Upon further evaluation, I'm not doing it. Water for the rest of the night for me. I think I'll go brush my teeth then I won't be tempted to eat anything else! I also think I'll go dish up the rest of that evil cake that is still here for my kids and their friends. I did stay out of it today though, so that's good.

    Night all.

    Impressive calorie burn renae! Yard work does wonders.

    First day of vacation started off really rocky. lol
    Everything that could go wrong this morning did. The peak of the bad came when we went down to the hotel pool and while swimming noticed a little piece of poop floating in the water! YAH GROSS.
    After taking a wonderful ride on the conway scenic railroad we returned to the hotel and I got a refund due to the poop incident and we moved down the road to a different hotel. Not only did this one not have poop water, but it has an indoor waterpark, The boys had SOOOO much fun and dinner went really well. (From a fun perspective. we arent talking about calories. lol) Anyway tommorow is story land. Hope it goes well. Anyway time to go to bed.

    Night all!

    Andrew- glad you and the fam got away from the poop. So gross.

    Renae- had to come back and say I don't pay for my hair anymore, gets grey too fast and it got way too expensive. I used to live the life of luxury when I had a J-O-B. Now Iive the life of an $8 box. Small price to pay, I'll take it. I've gotten pretty good at doing it myself. I can even pull it through a cap by myself for highlights, I think I could even pull off foil, in fact I'm going to try next time!

    I went wrong when I got impatient this morning cause I wanted to go to the gym before my pedicure and I rinsed too soon. It's my own fault I was fixing it tonight! It's all fixed, large orange hunk reverted back to brown. All is well.

    Sounds good to me! Right now I have a J-O-B but they keep cutting my pay so it's not getting any better for me. I have had my hours and my pay cut so I do understand. I wouldn't mind using a box if I knew I could get it right. I did my friends hair for her once before and it turned out really good and I pulled it thru the cap too. So I may have to get me one and try it again sometime. But I don't know about doing the foils. I have had them done enough to know how to do them but not too sure I could get them right on my own head. The lady that does mine doesn't charge too much but I haven't been in about 2-3 months and my roots are showing big time. I'm way over due! Not really any grey yet but I like the blonde better than the brown. Now the black hair I had my hubby did that here at home! That pic is on my profile!

    Renae- J-O-B's can be a pain the A-S-S.

    My hair used to be affordable when we lived in the small town in Pennsylvania- that's when I worked. When we moved to Maryland (4 years ago) I went once to get my hair done professionally. $150. I almost fell outta the chair. Never went back. We lived close to DC, things were expensive and with not working, there was no way I could afford that! So I had choices, figure it out myself or live with grey hair. Not a hard one to figure.

    Well, gang, I slept in until 5:50 today... :laugh: :laugh: .... so sad. Taking the dog to the groomer, hitting the gym, a few other errands to run, packing today and hitting the looooonnnngggg road to Pennsylvania tomorrow. Not looking forward to eating on the road, it's never good.

    Marla- my family is in Chambersburg- south central PA, pretty much straight south from Harrisburg. DH's family is in Scranton/ Wilkes Barre area. We will be at my parent's house for most of the trip. We are also meeting up with some of my college friends for a weekend in the Poconos. I had to look up Easton, I knew northeast from where we would be but couldn't place it exactly.

    WOOOOOO HOOOOO! I had an awesome last chance workout. Haven't heard the words yet today. Finally ran 3 miles! Did I say WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO? I can't keep my 10 minute mile pace, but I did it! Then I rode the bike for 30 minutes. So I got in over an hour of cardio, over 10 miles in distance and had my heart rate between 145 and 170 for an entire hour. After I lifted I had hit the 1002 calorie burn for the workout! WOOOOO HOOOOO! Never hit over 1000 in one workout session. Usually it takes me a couple sessions to hit it. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

    Not like I'm overly proud of myself of anything.....:laugh:

    Shuntae- not far from York, maybe 45 minutes- 30 minutes north on I-81 from Hagerstown MD too. I miss it there. I miss seasons.

    Marla- Wish I had more time in the Poconos, I'd say let's meet up. We got a house with a hot tub for the weekend, should be fun! We will in Albrightsville, near Lake Harmony. I found when we were looking, 'The Poconos' covers a lot of area, that whole corner of the state.

    Hello everyone!!!

    Lori-have a great vacation! We will miss you on the thread! Be careful! I know after eating good healthy stuff then eating a lot of fast food or whatever you find on the road can cause tummy aches! Not good!

    April-I have been called Nae Nae all my life so you go right ahead and call me that. Everyone calls me that and even some of my friends still do.

    I am getting ready to head out into the yard to see if I can finish up what I left off yesterday with the back yard. The bees are still there but I will leave them alone this time and just worry about the rest of the yard. To heck with them! Then to beat all, we went to Kohl's today and I had my sunglasses on and we were walking up to the front door to go in and a wasp flew around my head and landed on my eyepiece of my sunglasses. WTH?? They just won't leave me alone!! Have a great day and I will catch you all later!
