What Can I Say?

Well here it goes, its been awhile since my last blog. It seems like playing on facebook has taken over the computer time. Lets see whats new since the last time....hmmm not sure so guess will just have to think of something to say. Didn't make it to the gym yesterday, but did manage to make it their today. It was more or less a cardio type of day, only did a couple of the resistance machines. Did manage to workout 30 min on the ellipitical, 10 min on the bike and my usual 20 min jog on the treadmill. Who would have thought that I would actually like jogging on a treadmill! In all honesty, I actually miss it when I haven't done it. Guess that must mean I just might be addicted to exercising. Rich and I went to dinner last night haven't been out in awhile. Went to Massa's and had some good pasta, then back home and watched a movie, Body of Lies. Before that though we had to go to Little Miss Ashley's indoor soccer game her second one. She played really well, but didn't score a goal this game. The teams were pretty evenly matched and were tied 3 - 3 with only a couple minutes left, however the other team managed to score a goal so the girls lost 4 - 3 but they played really really good. Its amazing to watch these little girls play together, it brings back memories of when Kim and Eric were younger and playing soccer. Who would have thought that we would be spending our time going to soccer games again and loving every minute. Its always such a treat to spend time with Ashley watching her grow. Today however, was sorta a lazy type day, except for going to the gym, didn't do much, put a roast on, Rich went in to the office and I read the paper. After dinner watched a little tv and now its computer time. Need to hurry and finish this blog up so I can go out and check facebook again....lol So until the next blog....remember One Life Many Moments (read that somewhere).

Ok, Since I was Tagged.....

Well like Sharon said, Jaime tagged me too, so here goes, the 6th picture in the 6th file on my pc. This file of pictures was just tagged with a date no formal name since these were really pictures Eric took. The file was of a wedding he and a couple buddies went to last May (2008), however I did take the first 6 pictures. Lucky for me since I would have no idea who was who in the wedding shots....lol.

Ron, Rich, EJ (Eric)

Arn't they a dashing group of men. This is actually Eric's first suit in ever. He actually wanted to buy a suit so he would have one to wear to weddings, funerals, etc. I must say he looked very handsome in it too. He picked out the suit, shirt, tie, and shoes, and did a great job. Of course I had to go with him to help pick out and ended up paying for it.....how does that work??? Anyway, this was my 6th picture. Not sure who else Jaime tagged so for now I too will not be tagging anyone since she already got Sharon and Carrol.

On a different note today was Ashley's first indoor soccer game. The team has never played indoor before and no practices. They did an amazing job of playing the boards and working together. Ashley scored her first indoor goal and almost had another. Her team won 4 to 1. She loved playing it but did get a little tired of running (we told her indoor is much faster than outdoor). Don't think she believed us at first but now she does.

Well, can't think of anything else to say right now, so until next time, remember to live life to the fullest, love lots, and have fun!

Thoughts for the Day

Saturday night is here again. Where does the time go? My niece Jaime said it best in her blog, the days just seem to go by and by. I think the older I get the faster time seems to fly by and yes I to seem to take things for granted to. Just because I do things the same way all the time doesn't mean that I have to. Who says I can't eat dessert first and then dinner or even no dinner at all. Of course, dessert isn't really on my menu right now seeing as how I'm still trying to watch what I eat and lose a few more pounds. Take today for instance, Ashley and I went to the show to see Inkheart and whats a show without popcorn and soda right? And of course the popcorn had to have butter on it. Right there I managed to over indulge in carbs for the day, but at least I did manage to leave a few crumbs of popcorn in the bag to be thrown away....lol Should I have eaten all that popcorn, probably not, but it sure was good. I guess every now and then its good to get out of your ruts and over indulge in something. It can be anything from food, people, fun, love, books, or whatever makes you feel good or happy! Today going to a movie with Ashley and eating popcorn and drinking soda made me happy. I may not like what the scale says tomorrow, but I wouldn't trade today for anything even for a few more lost pounds. It may take me longer to get to my goal weight but oh well, the buttered popcorn was well worth it and Ashleys company is priceless!.

Now that I've depressed everyone with the subject of weight I guess I'll close for now. So until the next post....enjoy life and every now and then get out of your ruts!

Just Another Day!

Well its been a few days since my last post, so thought I would try and do one now. Why I don't know seeing as how I haven't really done anything to make this post interesting. I really do need to get out more! Still have snow on the ground from our snowstorm last week. It's melting slowly. Even with the sun shining its been a little to chilly to melt it all. Have a high of 24 today but feels more like 9...and I wonder why the snow is not gone yet. Although, the superbowl is over I have to say the Cardnials did a great job. We were rooting for them all the way. Kurt Warner is something else. And oh yes, I have to say Brenda Warner looked very good, much better than she ever did here. The Arizona sunshine must agree with her.

As stated before I promised to give updates on my new phone and how its doing. I've managed to figure out a few more things, but its still quite a mystery. What's really bad is that an eight year old (Ashley) can figure out more things on it than I can! Oh well, at least maybe I can learn a few things from her....

As I said before not a very interesting post, but its all I have right now. So until later enjoy a glass of wine or beer and have a little snack.

It's Over Finally!

Well believe it or not our wintry mix is finally over. Finished up early this morning but not before dumping about 6" on us. Some places had even more! The sun even decided to come out and make us think it was warmer than it was. High of 23 and right now its about 19. Didn't make it to the gym today instead I shoveled the driveway this morning before Rich went to work. I really hate packing the snow down by driving over it. It's a good thing it was a relatively light snow since it took me about an hour to get it done. Six inches of snow is not fun! By the time I was through I could feel it in my arms (and since today was arms workout day) figured that might be enough. Also could feel it in my back must of been the twisting/turning...lol , and of course my cardio/fat burn from lifting/pushing snow. Probably didn't work all muscles I should have today, but oh well, I will be back at the gym in the morning doing routine #3 arms and cardio. Guess thats about it for tonight, not too interesting, but its all I had....

So until the next interesting/uninteresting blog

Freezing Rain, Sleet, Snow

Well its been a wonderful couple of days. We are having a wintry mix of weather anything from freezing rain, sleet, snow and any combination of the three. Leave it to St. Louis to have all the fun...lol. Already shoveled the driveway early this morning from last nights weather and will probably have to do it again tonight....yuk! I do have to say though it is a very pretty snow, everything is nice and white and clean looking. Now if it would just learn to fall on the grass and not the streets and driveways it would truly be wonderful. Ashley had her first snow day of the year which I know she was happy about. Think there might have been 700 school closings today, think pretty much all the schools. I think we are pretty much in for snow through tomorrow sometime.

Today, I did day #2 on Carrol's exercise routine....legs. Yesterday I did #1 the arms. So far not too bad. My little community gym doesn't quite have all the equipment that Carrol's big gym does so have to improvise some. All in all though its not too bad. Of course, will have to wait a little while to see how it does, and hopefully it will work for me too. If not, guess go back to my own little routine of just doing whatever.....

Ok, it's day 4 of having my new cell phone and I'm not sure I know anymore about it than I did the other day. I did download the manual and was reading some of it just to see what different functions it will do. It looks like it can do just about anything except cook breakfast and I'm not sure it couldn't be programmed to do that.

Just as a side note it is still snowing and judging from the snow piled up on the table outside between yesterday and now we have between 4 - 6". Oh Lucky Us!

Finally!!!

Well I finally did it! I bought a new cell phone today, the Samsung Eternity. I know, I know, I have been procrastinating for the last few months, ok maybe longer than a few months, but at least I finally did it. Of course, now I have to figure out what to do with it cause I haven't a clue! This phone definitely has more functions than I am capable of using. I was barely able to turn the phone on and oh this touch screen is something else. This is really going to take some getting use to. Course Kim was showing me how to do some of the things on it but not sure I will remember. Kim even linked up our bluetooth function so we could send things back and forth via bluetooth, (like I'm going to remember how to do that). I just hope I will be able to remember how to dial. answer, and send text messages on it! Oh and be able to find my voicemail had trouble with that today! I told you way too many buttons/functions for me. I did manage to get some alarms set since thats what I use when I'm at kims (wouldn't want Ashley to be late for school). Oh well enough about my phone, but I promise to keep you updated on my progress at learning its functions....lol!
