Been a while since I’ve posted.  Never sure what to post lately.  Our routine hasn’t really changed and nothing much as been going on.  And you saw my rant over a week ago……..lol  Just our normal gym, errands,  work and enjoying our cats as they do goofy things.

I’ve been trying to chill out on the political/social commentary here and keep it on twitter.  Short, to the point and easy to skip over if not interested in it………grin  But doesn’t mean that I won’t do here on an occasion.

Well, this week was ok at the gym.  I got my treadmill and abs in everyday, but didn’t get as much in on the weights as I should.  I need to step it up next week.  My weight has flat lined, I’m not too concerned but wouldn’t mind losing about 5# of jiggle.  I’m more focused on maintaining and developing more firmness in the arms and thighs.  I’ve always been weak in the arms.  =(

This week was bad on eating…..I maintained my calories overall, but too much sugar and sweet cravings.  Forgot that the week before my cycle my sweet tooth kicks in big time.  But if I’m able to maintain my calories during that, I consider that a victory.  =)

Our neighbor’s dog got skunked a few nights ago………lol  Hubby was closing the blinds to our balcony and saw a skunk run up the street with their dog behind it.  He told our neighbor that it was skunk.  We were hoping that it hadn’t sprayed.  It was finally cooling down and turning into a perfect night and we wanted to leave our windows open.  Well that didn’t happen, a few minutes later we smelled it…….doh!  Then hubby saw that the dog did get hit….lol  They were out there washing him in the drive way.  Hubby was laughing about it, he use to do that very summer to his dogs when he was a kid.  So happy that wasn’t him out there washing the dog………grin

We are back to perfect temps, 60s at night and 70s/80s during the day.  I love it.  So happy to be out of Indiana and Florida.

Today I was in worker bee mode…..just wanted to get things done around the house.  Hubby attacked the floors and vacuumed everywhere.  I made some egg salad.  I got our towels and bedding washed along with all our other laundry, so it was an all day thing.  The hardest part about making our bed, is switching out the duvet cover on the down bedcover just because it is a king it is so huge and heavy.  That gave me a work out….lol

I finally cleaned up the mess in our office closet.  It was mainly caused by me digging for cds when I lost my external hard drive and the music on it.  So that is finally straighten up and better then it was before.  We can actually walk in there.

I also got all of our flowers outside fertilized.  I’ve been disappointed that we haven’t had more flowers on our rose bushes. I watered them everyday during the heat wave and every other day in between the heats.  Hopefully the fertilizer will help….. I love having our roses in bloom.

Not sure what I’m doing tomorrow.  I’m hoping that my motivation to get things done continues.  I won’t mind doing some lite rearranging in the garage and maybe get some oatmeal cookies made for hubby…..otherwise I would like to get a walk in,  attack some picture galleries for my family and get some company work done in the evening.

Today was a great day for playing catch up with the family, dad and Cheyanne & Charles video chatted with me as mom shouted hello.  Cheyanne had to show me her new kitten, Angel.  She was also having a blast making faces at me as Charles keep making rabbit ears behind my dad’s head.  Just had to remind dad to IM me or text me before calling on skype….lol  I’m not always by my pc or have my headphones ready….grin  I called mom later since I hadn’t talked to her and ended up on speaker with her and dad as they were heading out to the racetrack.  Then Sandi returned my call and we ended up on the phone for 2hrs.

Well, I think that it is all that I have for tonight. =)
