working out for Disney

[Songbird76]

What happened to you?

Did I not say? I must have only put it in the other thread. Sorry. I sliced my finger open Friday. I was cleaning up the kitchen counter and there was a knife I had used to cut lettuce and I bumped the handle and it flipped and spun and caught my finger on the way down. I had to call my husband at work to come home and take me to get stitches, which they ended up not being able to do because of the way I cut it (I'm talented like that) and so they had to use special tape instead. Hubby drives half an hour home to get me, gets me buckled into the car and then just starts laughing, because it's so ME. I told him I was pretty proud that this is the first time he's ever had to rush home to get me medical attention. Usually my klutziness is limited to running into doors, poles, tripping over air, etc. Poor DD had to call him for me because I couldn't let go of my finger to dial the phone, and she was flustered and upset and scared. She started crying when she had to go back to school and daddy wasn't there yet. She was afraid to leave me alone. So now the bandage is off and I have to leave the pressure tape stuff on for a few more days and just cover it with a bandaid. Now you can't tell how bad it is and it's not such a neon sign "Look at my finger!" Thank goodness I didn't have to call an ambulance! I think I'd have died of embarrassment if my neighbors had all watched an ambulance pull up in front of my house. It was bad enough walking out to the car with my hand wrapped in a towel and hubby having to do my seatbelt for me.

I am sore today! I did a DVD I hadn't done in years yesterday and I think it worked my muscles in a new way. I only went up to 7 lbs. with the weights!

In our contract, the closing is August 17th and the sellers chose that date. So, yesterday the sellers asked if we could change that. My husband looked into it. But it would require changing our vacation dates, moving dates and car shipping dates. It's going to take three days for the movers to pack up our house and another 2-3 days to get our stuff to NJ. I also checked about moving our vacation time and we would lose the discount we have on the room. So, their agent came back to ours and said they are "disappointed." What? We tried to accommodate them, but it would have cost us more money to adjust our vacation dates. If it wasn't for that, we could have moved closing dates. I don't want to wish the summer away, but I can't wait until this is all behind us.

Today is going to be cardio. I have no idea what yet, because I am a bit sore.

They are disappointed that the date THEY wanted can't be changed? I hope it's themselves they are disappointed in! Next time, pick a more realistic date! Why did they want it changed anyway?

Sorry you're sore! Hope you find some cardio that's not too painful!

Hello-

I am done with the cleaning *hurrah*. Tomorrow, I will give everything a quick once over before the photographer gets here. I decided to go for a walk tonight. It was a bit chilly at 64. Yesterday, it was 90. Crazy, but it was beautiful for a walk. I had shorts and a tank top on, so I hustled a bit to create body heat.

Oh, and I went to get my mail today and this jerk wasp wouldn't let me get near the mail box. It kept buzzing me, so I waited until it got dark to get my mail and it was all junk mail anyway--womp, womp.

I am so lazy when my husband is gone. I had a can of seasoned tuna on some lettuce for dinner. Plus, I did not want to mess up my kitchen after cleaning hell for leather-style.

Well, at least you're eating, right? You do what you have to do. I haven't really been able to cook because I couldn't get my finger wet, which means I couldn't wash my hands very easily, so I couldn't do anything that would make them really dirty, and hubby banned me from chopping. The up side was we went out to dinner Sunday because the kids also got their reports Friday and they were awesome, so that plus me not being able to cook = restaurant! Woohoo.

Not as hot today. We got a little rain yesterday and today. Gonna walk some later this evening.

We finally got rain Monday!! And did it come down all at once-2.2 inches. The hard ground couldn't soak it up and flooded part of my basement

 

[93boomer]

Good morning! I no longer get to sleep past 8 am any more. My cat decided she needed wet food so she meowed and meowed until I got up. Where is she? Full and napping!
She likes to drink fresh water out of the kitchen faucet even though she has a perfectly nice dish of water on the floor. She started meowing at my DH this morning at 5:30 wanting water. That cat!!
No special plans today but I always find things around the house to do.
Everyone have a great day!

That's quite beautiful and that's saying a lot coming from me. Not a fan of orange but some how you make it look great.

Thank you. I took these pics last night just as the sun was going down, zoomed in and used the flash to get the contrast with the dark background. We have a couple of red hibiscus, this double bloom orange one, and a tropical one with yellow and red, but the tropical one has not bloomed at all. They have to come in during the winter, and they looked really scraggly when we brought them out of the basement this year, but they are looking more healthy. Hibiscus blooms only last for a day, which is kinda sad, but they are pretty when they pop open.

Ouch. It sounds like it's healing quickly, though. Your daughter being scared, though...poor thing. I am clumsy, too. My thing is walking into tables, counter tops, bed frame corners. My legs are always bruised. I trip over my own feet, too. LOL

Yeah, they didn't even ask us for input about the closing date anyway, it just was there in the contract. Our real estate agent told us not to worry about it and they could have their lawyer at the closing. Some times, I think people are curious and want to see who is buying their house. I have no interest. When we put our first offer in they told us it was "insulting." It was 5% off of the list price and we were just trying to establish a base line! The South Jersey housing market is very soft. Every house we looked at had the price reduced at least once and had been on the market an average of 5-6 months--a couple for over a year. They came down as much as we came up, but then they said, "We are taking our lawn ornaments with this offer." Oh, you mean that Venus de Milo in the back yard? Thanks, you're doing me a solid in taking that.

Hello-

I am checking in with another strength training workout. It was only 30 minutes, but it hit all of the muscles. i got a decent calorie burn, too. I am keeping my workouts to 30-45 minutes these days. It is a little cool here, so I might go for a stroll with some tunes shortly.

 

[Sans Souci]

Maybe it's me, but if I am a member of a forum and if it's not to my liking, I leave it. I don't make threads about how negative it is. Crazy, I know. There's just been such an influx lately of "This place is soooooo negative and full of whiny crybabies." Well, there are other WDW message boards, heck, one in particular that acts as a de facto mouthpiece.

I like this board because it has many diverse voices and they all have a place here.

Good morning 30 days to go so I think I'm going to stick with Leslie Sansone, walking, easy yoga and the plank challenge. I just want to be extra careful with my legs. Yesterday was nice but a bit cool so no pool but I did get in another 8 miles outside. So far 5 LS miles and day 2 of the plank challenge. I'm going to get out and walk with both groups today and maybe another lap by myself because my dh has a 4 day weekend and he tends to screw up my schedule So I can't guarantee getting anything done but my morning workout. I'm sure I'll get the guys out walking everyday

Yep...I knocked my pinky toenail loose a couple of years ago when I tripped and accidentally kicked DD's night stand. I was putting laundry away in her closet and turned around wrong. You know that song "I'm a hazard to myself....don't let me get me....I'm my own worst enemy"...that's kind of my theme song.

What??? You mean you don't want a cheap knock-off, mass-manufactured statue? Wouldn't you rather just pay an extra 10 grand for them to leave the lawn display?

Just moving a chair I lost a big toe toenail once. You can't be as bad as me I've got 6 left feet. That's why there's no video evidence of me doing Zumba

You know that if you ladies wore shoes instead of flip flops you would still have your original equipment toe nails. Just sayin!
