WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2016

Good Morning, Ladies.

kay, I see a great difference. You keep up the great work, girl friend. Woo Hoo And hey, ya gotta love a man that does the laundry. I sure love mine.

Beth, how great to feel "food righteous". I love it.

Lisa, sorry about the job but the good side is, you aren't heading for a year and a half of super stress. ((((Hugs)))) Good girl for the run.

Miriam, when I saw your hot tub workout all I could think of was those chickens. tee hee hee. Sorry.


I read what I could but need to get a shower. I went to sleep last night pretty early and got up this morning about 5:30. The clock was set for 7:00. I saw the sunrise over the ocean. It's going to be a beautiful day. Our room is at the back of a U shaped building facing the beach so sun was partially blocked by the building.


I hope you all have a happy and healthy day.

Words I live by:
Savor: I have to slow down and savor every bite.
Opportunity: Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.

Love you,
DJ

Off to the garage sales this morning... the support here is nigh overwhelming in its intensity, and amazing. Thank you all so much for every word. They all matter, and I treasure every one.

Mary - you and Shep both look beautiful... I grew up with a German shepherd, and never lost that fondness for them.

Love y'all,
Lisa in West Texas.

A quick hidee ho before I go to work.. 12,000 already and my feet are gonna be barking at the end of the day.. thats for sure.. the tree's are budding and I am sneezing up a storm grrrr, only thing I can take is flonase~ oh well will do that twice a day for the spring....working 9-5 with a 1/2 hr lunch ,but it will not work out that way.. will be lucky to get 15 minutes to sit and relax... should bring my headphones with me and do meditation but even if I do sit ,I sit up front with the Troll and we have to answer the phone during lunch and you dont expect her to pick the phone up, when she does she puts it on hold and I have to schedule the appointments~ all I can say Is Karma , want to be there when it comes around to her

Morning All! thanks for the encouragement! I'm trying to get the hang of posting...ya'll be patient with me!

Mary - Shep is adorable!!! I love those ears and bright eyes!

Michele - Yes - I figure out the calories per serving when I'm making something new if the nutritional values aren't included with the recipe.

Heather in UK - speaking of recipes - the veg and guinea fowl curry sounds yummy!

DJ - that is one beautiful sunrise.

I've had a really hectic week at work , but I think today may be quite. REALLY looking forward to the weekend!!

morning peeps -

fancy- cute poocher pic of you and the boy!!! HAPPYYYYY BDAYYYYYYYYY from my kids to yours!

Kirby was off today and he ran a 5k under a 10 minute mile!!! 9.40 to be exact! that is huge from where he began (1st attempt couldn't do on a treadmill, 18min mi). that was on a treadmill not holding on! for the 2nd day in a row, I forgot my monkey feet (don't wear tennis shoes) so I did more shoulder stretching exercises. I could have run barefoot on the treadmill but I didn't want someone ratting me out.

saw the new place yesterday, it's got a lot of remodeling to do yet. boss told me but not clear as to where exactly my bike will be. if it's not under cover someone, not exposed to the elements, I'm going to rent a bike locker at the sumner station. we'll see how it pans out.

days are getting longer. this morning when I got done w/the gym, got outside and it was nice crisp and clear. I looked outside and told Kirby, it would be a nice day to ride to work, then I looked at him and said, "nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Becca: I didn't know it was that bad out at the coast. I'm glad you came through it ok. I'm sorry that your neighbor lost his home. I hope it was insured. (((hugs)))

Mary: What a great picture of you and Shep.

Joan19: Thanks for the input on fosamax. I'm going to ask my doctor for the once a week version next time and see how I like it. Waiting half an hour for my morning coffee once a week would be a huge improvement over waiting every day!

CSSJ09: Your magazine idea is one I'll save for the future. I bought DGD a Disney Princess Cookbook and some cooking tools. It had great reviews on Amazon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll love it and have quality time with her mom and other grandma learning to cook. :flowerforyou:

Gloria: It is great that your kids are in band. Music is so good for kids, and everyone else.



Yoga today! I've had conflicts all week until now and I'm looking forward to the class. I missed my riding lesson last week so that we could spend the weekend with DS and DDIL, so I'm really looking forward to it tomorrow.

Got the answer on the job. Came in second.

NSV-- instead of eating my feelings, I ran a couple miles instead.

Shower time, see if I can't find my big girl panties, and pull those on, and on to the next thing.

Lisa in West Texas

I bet you couldn't find your big girl panties because all you have are skinny girl panties!

Good morning! It's a beautiful day here in Kansas. Spring has really sprung!

This morning I got a call from my son asking if I would please hire someone to clean his apartment. Hallelujah! I've been offering for two years. I've been insisting for the last three months. NOW he finally agreed to it. So, I posted a request on Facebook and got about 50 responses. Sorted through them, checked facebook pages and discarded the party girls. Discarded a few that had bad reputations (dishonest or don't show up). And settled on one that had good references.

Tomorrow hubby and I are going to Kansas City to attend a support group for the family members of Alpha1 disease victims, and we are taking the kids along to get them out from under foot while the cleaning lady is there. She is supposed to come at 11:00. I hope it works out well and we can get her to come back weekly. I'm feeling good about this.

But I'm feeling bad about something else. I called to make an appointment to get my hair cut. Called the salon and asked for an appointment with Hadley, who I like ( I finally found a stylist that I like). They told me, "sorry, but Hadley won't be back for 6 months to a year because she had a stroke!" This girl is 22 years old! How awful!

I went to Walmart to buy cleaning supplies for the big event tomorrow, and driving back to the studio I passed a young man walking the most beautiful dog I have ever laid eyes on! I pulled around the corner and got out of the van and asked if I could pet him. I just couldn't help it! This was an Australian Shepard, and gold, white and brown streaks in the most beautiful long haired coat. I think the guy said it was a honey merle coat or something like that. He was so lush and soft! And his eyes were like golden marbles. I fell deeply in love! And he was very sweet too. He acted like he knew me and wondered where I had been. Very much an exuberant puppy. The poor owner must have been through this before, being accosted by strange women on the street. He was very nice about the whole thing.

Well, I'm off to try out a new stylist. Have a great day!

Sylvia

Sylvia ~ So glad your son is accepting your help to get his apartment cleaned. Know it will make everyone happier to be there.

Heather ~ Sounds like everything is going great for you and your family. So glad you son got the house he wanted.

Very slow day around here today. My son put a new mail box up for me. Then I went to Costco to buy coffee and to the bank. Tried to clean my Maytag oven but the results were poor. It has a cleaning cycle where you dump some water in the bottom and let it go. The glass door is a total greasy mess so I think I will have to try spray on oven cleaner.

Spent four hours cleaning up part of the downtown park that I take care of. Cut off peony, aster, Russian sage, and sedum stems, and raked up all the leaves and debris. I also pulled up as much of the quack grass as I could (it spreads by underground runners). Stuffed everything in to 9 yard waste bags and a huge pile of sticks. I have about the same amount of work to do on the other section, and there is some pruning and moving of plants that needs done still. Now I can hardly move I am in so much pain! Spine and hips and knees and hands.
