Did a load of laundry then Cathe’s STS DVD then took a walk twice around the block. When I go twice, I don’t go out by the main road Mo – You are truly an angel here on earth. Aldi is limiting dairy purchases, too. But they have for a long time Lisa – cats are very oriented that things should be a certain way. Like our…

Barbie – thanks for the idea. Plexiglass is probably liighter, too I guess everyone knows that it’s illegal to pump your own gas in NJ. Raised in NJ, I remember how worried I was when we moved to PA and I had to pump my own gas. I’d never done it! Tracey – if Vince said something like that to me, I’d probably answer “yup,”…

After work went to the soup kitchen then Vince and I prebowled three games. I did lousy Rebecca – isn’t High Potential a good show? Alsarv – welcome Rebecca – I’m so sorry you lost the earring. I’ve lost some of the ones that I really liked and it was hard I really miss my jigsaw puzzles so I got one of those mats so I…

After work stopped at the dollar store for the girls. Made yogurt and now have it in the IP. Went to Belk’s and with my coupon got a pizza pan for $5. It’s a nice one, too. Then to Kohl’s where I got an oven mitt and potholder for free. Went to the stores looking for brown jeans. I thought that it wouldn’t be hard to find.…

Got to the gym today. Did some HIIT and then went in the pool for a bit, mainly to cool off plus do some exercising. Then went to WalMart only the one didn’t have much so I went to another WalMart. Supposed to be very cold early next week. Maybe I’ll wear these fleece lined pants to BK, don’t know if they’re acceptable but…

Carol – I doubt the hurricane has anything to do with the closings, we’re too far east of it. No, people around here just freak at the slightest even mention of the “s” word Deb – is there a reason your dentist thought he’d have to cut your gums back? I know certain medications inflame the gums. Do you regularly have to…

Got a note from Annie. This is what she said: Thanks. I feel like I've been barely hanging on since I was sick the end of October with the diverticulitis. We made it through Christmas, although I still have two presents to buy. And I finally got my meds sorted about a week ago, so that should be kicking in. The senior…

After work stopped at Sam’s. I needed cheese sticks and Vince needed milk. I also got some calcium. I’m liking getting that in large containers, and you only have to get one bottle at a time. Vince mentioned putting up the arches next year for Halloween and putting Halloween lights on them. I think he’s trying to do as…

Did Jari Love’s Get Ripped Slim & Lean DVD then rode the bike some. It was too cold out for my walk. Then went to Aldi. They were completely out of milk (after all, people had to prepare for the “biggie”. They might be snowed in for days!!!!) Ginny – I figure these hand warmers will come in handy when I take my walks. Wish…

Woke up today and went to work only to find out that they didn’t open until around 9. See, to me driving in an inch or 2 of snow is no big deal. To the southerners, they hunker down. So I came home, rode the exercise bike and watched “The Blues Brothers” movie. To me, it was a bit rude of her not to at least text me that…

Mo – no, the headphones don’t plug into my phone. They work by bluetooth. When they are turned on, they connect to the application. The headphones are on my head and the phone can be nearby. See, I have these spinning workouts. I didn’t get a message that my headphones were “low battery” (I usually do) but I brought them…

Was able to get to the gym today. Did a spinning workout. My headphones needed to be charged so the only sound was coming out of my phone. I apologized to the instructor and asked him to apologize to the others in the class since I won’t be there Friday. I just realized that this month is one year since I’ve had to put up…

It didn’t feel nearly as cold as I thought it would. Tomorrow I’ll go to the gym then to WalMart then home and we’ll either put up the blowmolds or Vince will wind up the extension cords and I’ll probably be putting them away. Betsy – WB Mo – I usually go to the gym on Wednesdays since I don’t work (usually). But I can’t…

Tracey – Jess lives about 2-1/2 hours away. The reason she came one day and returned that day was because she was out late the night before so she wanted to sleep before coming here since she needed to pick up her contact lenses brigitte – welcome! No snow here (natch) but very cold and dismal. It was raining lightly this…

Snow: earlier today I got a message on my tablet that the schools are having a 2 hr delay tomorrow. Makes me laugh. But this is the south. What is Lynette going to do when she has to drive from the house to her work. As it is, one time we had a dusting and she told me that she was going to ask Vince to drive her to work…

Did Weight Watchers Boot Camp DVD today then walked around the block. I used to go out to the main road, but out of boredom I’ve been going around the block twice. Just anything to do something different. Then went to Aldi. Jess is supposed to be here later today so I wanted to go before she got here. See, both of Vince’s…

Rebecca - I see the food porn queen is back!!! Vince said Jess said she was going to be here today. Not sure when. Well, I made a chicken bacon pasta salad and if she doesn’t come, we can have it (I should say Vince will have it, I don’t care for Ranch) Update: she'll come tomorrow. Then she'll drive back tomorrow. To me,…

Vince said today that I sound better “but don’t take that as a reason to talk” I don’t know, but something is going on at BK. For two weeks the store mgr hasn’t been in. That’s not like her. Usually when I get there in the a.m. there are two people working, one at the drive thru and one making the sandwiches. For the past…

Mo – I had my tonsils removed when I was about 10!!! I’m trying to get more sleep. Only thing is...right now my sinuses are acting up. No surprise as this happens whenever there is a change in the weather and it just got cold. So, therefore, I’m taking a decongestant. This ALWAYS makes me wide awake at 3a.m. On the bright…

Kylia – my voice is much better today. Still not perfect. I am not sure if I’ll go to the soup kitchen tomorrow, I doubt it. Just texted the lady in charge of the volunteers and told her that I won’t be there. Vince is going out to bring in the Christmas decorations, or at least start. I told him I’d help him. He’s…

Got all my holiday shirts put away. I had to admit that I’m probably not going to be wearing my shorts or short shirts so I cleaned those drawers out and arranged them. Boo Carla – of course you can rejoin, you don’t even have to ask. How have you been? Barbara – so glad your nephew was able to get a bed Rita – I always…

No work today but the Y opens late so I did a Boot DVD at home. Yesterday I took a walk twice around the block and boy was my heel hurting later that evening. Now I know that I should only go once. Think I’ll go to Food Lion to get chicken and some cake mix since that’s on sale with a digital coupon. Ken & Lynette came…

Carol – both Vince and I eat the Cheerios. Plus, I keep some (when they’re on sale) in my pantry. With the preservatives, they last quite a while Lisa – I couldn’t believe it either when I had to date things at BK. I was shocked it was already Dec. 30. Where did the time go??? When Vince retired, I remember at one point I…

Did one of Cathe’s STS DVD’s and then a Yoga for Weight Loss DVD then took a walk around the neighborhood. Gawd, how I missed this. Yes, I went slower, it’ll just take time for my heel to be better. It’s feeling better than it was a few weeks ago. Then went to Aldi, home and made yogurt in the IP, a pineapple angel food…

Went to Jess’ for Christmas since she was oncall. Went to the Chinese Lantern Festival which was very nice. Got my wish for toilet bowl brushes, slippers (hippopotamus slippers since one year I wrote “all I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus”), a napkin holder (I think they sent Jess the wrong one. Or else she ordered…

Rebecca – when we first moved to this neighborhood, NO ONE decorated. Now about ½ do. Last night while I was taking the pictures, someone drove up and said “whenever we visit my mother, we always have to drive by your house”. Made me feel good. When I’m not here for a while, I feel like I’ve lost my right arm Allie – I’m…

Some of our decorations: Michele NC

Did Cathe STS DVD then walked to Food Lion. I don’t know if this was the best idea or if I should have rested it more (used the bike) but, oh how I miss my walking! I listened to TSO on Sirius XM, so that made my day. Think I’ll probably start to get things ready for Vince to pack to go to Jess’ Debbie – this may be a…

Rushing to let everyone know that I heard from Annie. She says: hi yes I'm okay. Sorry I didn't mean to disappear. Christmas is just overwhelming for me. I will try to post. Thank you so much for caring! Michele NC

Barbie – yea for more daylight! I understand Trump is talking about doing away with DST. Personally, I’d like to keep it, but I think I would eventually get used to Standard Time all the time. For one thing, in DST it’s lighter longer so I can walk after dinner which helps (to me) settle my stomach Rebecca – when I’m…
