Hi Ladies ~ Happy Monday!!! I'm alive and well. Workouts are going great, along with the Peloton of course too. I have just been busy at work (which is great) due to the end of the month and just busy times!
I will catch up with you all tomorrow
June 3, 2019 11:31PM
Hi Ladies, today's workouts were gentle yoga and barre. My day went downhill in the afternoon. I had a bad stomach day. I can't wait to see the specialist!
I sat at the breakfast bar after my classes and was reading email when I started nodding off. DH was preparing himself lunch and saw me struggling to stay awake. This is how easily I can fall asleep now that I feel so fatigued. He felt so bad for me and suggested I go to bed to take a nap. I can't wait to see this GI doctor!
Laurie, awesome job with those workouts! I've gone from avoiding floor work to doing a lot of it! LOL
So glad you had a nice weekend with perfect graduation weather!
I love Rocket's picture! I thought he was standing on a yoga mat! LOL
Warrior 3 is a tough one for sure. I am better when standing on my left leg.
The yoga place I go to also has an apothecary store. They sell all kinds loose herbs, essential oils and vegetables from a Mennonite farm. Those are the biggest and most beautiful vegetables I've ever seen.
In MA it was easy to get an emissions test too. I just can't believe there isn't a place in BR!
Laurel, glad you had a good weekend. We are going to get some rain this week here. I hope you will get some too. I think it will start raining on Wednesday and it will be rainy for about a week. We need the rain badly!
Fabulous workouts!!
That Warrior 3 pose is hard and Ashlee showed me different ways to get into the pose. It will be a while before I can do this one right.
Did you see the signs for Mercier Orchards? That is quite an operation! We took my BIL there and he was quite impressed.
OMG the farm produce here! These vegies are huge, colorful and beautiful. I can't say the same about fruits though. I bought some nectarines at Mercier and they are very tart. They have the biggest apples I've ever seen here! I don't buy apples anymore because they are way too big for me.
We will continue to visit the farmer's market. I heard that toward the 3rd week in June it gets better and more vendors participate. One more thing that's about 5 minutes from our house!
We discovered that we live very close to Lake Blue Ridge too.
I hope those cleaning clothes work for you! They have ones for the kitchen too.
Tami, glad you're doing well! Great job with your workouts and I'm sure you're happy to be busy at work!
Hi Erika!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
This morning I did RAW Boxing & Sculpting.
Laurel, Your weekend sounds very nice. Glad that you had a chance to golf. Awesome workouts too. Miller Park is very nice, and I love going there for games. The Cubs like to come up here for games, way better parking.
If you went by the park then you where not to far from where I work, since I can see the park. I have another niece that moved to Green Bay, so we get to see her a lot more also. I told her this past weekend, that it was really nice to see her so much more.
Tami, So glad that you where able to let us know that you are still getting on your Peloton, and of course doing your workouts.
Thelma, Glad that you enjoyed your class. I can sure understand the waiting to see the doctor has to be hard. I'm glad that your DH is around though. It really is surprising how floorwork can really get into those areas that you don't hit with normal leg exercises. Thanks for the compliment on Rocket, this picture was from daycare. This was the first picture of him that he didn't look he was afraid.
Probably one of the best pictures of him that I have ever seen. Those veggies sound great, and of course that you have an apothecary. Haven't heard that word since I was at the Ren Faire.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today's workout was a tough one but very fun. I started with RWH LIHI Legs, then went into Cathe Live LIHI Legs, then finished off with Cathe Live Lift It HiiT It Live. The workouts progressed from higher weights to lower and from less intense cardio to more intense. Really enjoyed it.
Tami, thanks for checking in. Glad you are staying busy at work! Hope you aren't too busy though!
Thelma, great workout, but I am sorry about how you are feeling still. I don't remember the name of the orchard, but it was probably that one. This is early season for peaches, but we tried some this weekend. Thy were better than store bought but not great. Hoping for sweeter ones as the season progresses. We are getting tomatoes, cucumber and zucchini off our own plants now, which are really good! Love this time of year for fresh food.
Laurie, another great RAW workout. Love the new photo of Rocket! He is such a cutie. On that Sunday of the Road Trip, after meeting our friend, DH and I drove into Chicago and went very near Wrigley. In fact, we drove by the bar/restaurant you had been to a few weeks before. It was a few hours before the baseball game started and it was a mess! I am glad we opted not to go to the game, that's for sure. I would think pretty much everybody would prefer Miller Park to that!
Well, I got a text from DH this morning that his parents have decided to come two days early.....and will be here tomorrow.
This will be fun since we still don't have a master bedroom shower, so DH and I will cede the guest bathroom shower and will be, instead, lugging everything upstairs to my workout space to shower. Thank goodness we are all family!
But if I am not here the rest of the week, it is because of house guests and, hopefully, being out and about.
Enjoy the day.
June 4, 2019 4:00PM
Hi Ladies!!!
I'm here and well! Day 1 of bathroom remodels is done...what a dusty, loud mess, but demo is done and the new tub is in. They said it will take 3 days for each bathroom, so my hubby and I are trading off days off work to entertain the pups, talk to contractors, etc. So, I won't have the full week off, but a couple days this week and a couple next, which will be nice.
This weekend was so fun, my son's high school lacrosse team had their state tourney on Sunday and won 1st place in overtime. It was a loonnng day (left home at 7:30am, home at 5pm) of 5 games, but my son's team captain asked the coach to play him more than the other defensive players, so he played nearly the whole day. He was in heaven! Now, we are done with lacrosse until next year and we go into hockey mode...this is just a fun league both my boys play on...once a week...so just perfect for us.
Just started my next rotation yesterday...RWH and ICE combo! Can't wait!
Thelma, I sure do hope you can get your stomach figured out. Have you been tested for gluten intolerance at all? My hubby and son have it (and several in our family have celiac) and I'd say the symptoms they were having were very similar. It's a simple blood test to tell if you have elevated numbers and then from there they can test further if you come up high to see if you have celiac. Just a thought! I love those Norwex cloths...I've been using them for years, and they last for years!! Great job on the yoga and barre...sounds like it's working well for you!
Laurie, awesome workouts...love hearing your KCM workout lineup! We are dry as a bone here, but were soggy up through Friday last weekend. Hot and humid here the last couple days and now storms coming in tonight. Hopefully that will cool things off just a bit. I hope you don't end up with any severe weather over there as it looks like it might be moving that way.
Laurel, once again I love your LIVE workouts. They sound so fun. I do agree, there are a lot of breaks in the LIVE workouts, which I sometimes love and sometimes don't. I find if I have breaks too often, my mind wanders and you can find me cleaning a toilet, mopping the floor or something else as I feel I have a quick minute to get it done! But, I love her variety. Has she gotten any better with her goof ups? The ones I had done, she kept losing count, forgetting to do the other side, etc. I am OCD when it comes to things being even, so I noticed it every time!
Tami, glad your Peloton is getting some good use...there is a buzz going in our house about one now
Have a great evening. I'll likely be on later this week!

Hi Ladies ~ I'm sorry I have been kind of "absent" for a few days. Work is definitely busy and I am just doing "whatever is needed" so that is good. Keeping busy and I like that. Last night I went to Katy's BootCamp and it was a toughie …. She did a format of: 90 jump ropes, 50 lunges, 50 squats, 50 sit-ups, 50 biceps, then walk the entire tennis court with weight in one hand overhead down with the right hand, back with the left hand, then sprint down and sprint back. Then you repeat ALL of the above but with 40 reps of each, then 30, then 20, then 10 and DONE. This a.m. I decided on RWH Upper Body Circuit since I had so much legs last night and tomorrow and Thurs are going to be RWH LIHI workouts.
Thelma: Way to go with your Yoga and Barre workouts. Dang it on your stomach continuing to give you problems however. I bet you seriously cannot wait to see the specialist. I hope you get some answers and quick solutions so you can feel yourself again. The apothecary store sounds AMAZING. I bet you are finding some wonderful things to treat yourself with. Yes, definitely happy to be busy at work. We have been getting in so much business they are trying to make a plan for 60 days when so much of this is going to be closing, etc. Our Escrow Dept is going to be slammed. I told DH, why don't they train me to help over there since I am not training in my dept…. he just looked at me funny. Oh well, I will take any busy over wondering what is next.
Laurie: Yay on the graduation weather cooperating for you! Sounds like a nice weekend. Excellent job with your workouts. Sounds like you have been able to get in some great RAW workouts and you are enjoying them! What a darling new picture by the way of Rocket. Sweet dog and glad he was happy at daycare. Speaking of pouring rain …. Last Thursday after work I met my girlfriend for another bike ride. Well it was gorgeous all day until we got on our bikes. We went only 5 miles and complete down pour. We were both soaked and made it back to our cars as fast as we could. We are going to try and go again this week (maybe?) Supposed to turn to bad weather on Thursday so we will see.
Laurel: WOW! On that combination of workouts you did this a.m. I am tired just reading about it. Way to WORK. Actually your whole line up lately sounds intense! Way to go, I am sure it feels amazing. Your weekend sounds like it was a nice one, including some golf. We are golfing with our friends this Saturday in a fundraiser. We did it a couple years ago. The bad thing is the weather is supposed to be TERRIBLE oh AND I haven't golfed in a year ….. AGAIN. ☹ Definitely not TOO busy. It is weird because like I said, everyone is SO busy and we have so many orders, the company set a new record for May, which is great. Going to be a busy summer. No overtime needed yet though on my part, which is strange. Last year I was here all the time. Good luck with your house guests if we don't see you here for a couple days.
Erika: Sounds like a busy household along with the remodel! We have wanted to do our guest bath for several years now. Just haven't done it yet. Yay on starting up the new RWH & ICE combo. Great workouts to put together. OMG! If you get a Peloton you will love it! Such a great workout and the instructors are amazing.
Have a great evening ladies! Tami
June 4, 2019 10:37PM
Hi Ladies, today's workouts were Yoga Basics and Yoga flow with Ashlee.
Funny that Erika mentioned Celiac disease. I have started to think that I may have that. I definitely have some of the symptoms. No bloating or pain. A woman I used to work with had Celiac disease and she had diarrhea all the time and I don't. I wonder if I have anemia because I've been craving beef.
I am OK when I eat bread. Bananas don't seem to go down well anymore so I won't be buying them anymore.
We'll finally get some rain starting tomorrow! I'm going for a pedicure in the afternoon. I need one badly!
DH started the refinance process for our GA today. I think he got 3.25 or 3.5% which is an amazing rate!
Laurie, that workout sounds like a lot of fun! great job.
Floor work has a way of getting into areas we normally don't hit. Kudos to the doggy daycare for taking pictures of your babies! I hadn't heard the word apothecary in decades I think!
Laurel, great job with that killer workout!!
I'm glad this early peach season because I also hope to find sweet ones!
OMG, I can't believe you're already getting tomatoes, cukes and zucchini off of your own plants!! It seems you just planted those plants last month! How long ago did you plant them?
OMG, surprise with your in-laws early arrival! I least you have another shower you can use.
Did you read that Erika has been using those Norwex clothes for years?
Erika, so glad one of your bathrooms is done! Congrats on starting the new rotation!
How exciting about your son being such a great lacrosse player!
Like I said above I've started to think Celiac. The big thing for me is that I have heartburn. Of course I could have the non-classical or silent celiac disease. I am definitely going to ask the doctor to test me for Celiac disease. Thank you for suggesting it because your suggestion prompted me to look the symptoms.
Tami, awesome workouts! That BC class sounds like a tough one for sure! I'm sure Katy was happy to have you attend her class!
I can't wait to see the GI specialist! The apothecary store is pretty cool. They also sell homemade soaps and bath bombs. I'm a shower type of girl so not sure about those bath bombs but people seem to love them.
It would be fabulous if you could help out in the escrow department! Do you know anyone in that department? Maybe you could see if they need help!
Good night ladies!
June 5, 2019 4:44AM
Morning Ladies,
Had a great line up of RAW workouts this morning. I started off with Home Gym Intervals #1 (I used the elliptical) I followed that with Cardio Finisher and then Upper Body Finisher Arms & Shoulders. My arms and shoulders are fried now.
Laurel, You worked those legs good yesterday, and it all sounds like fun. Oh my on your in-laws getting to your place early. I'm sorry to hear that you still don't have your shower working, that has to be frustrating. At least you have multiple places available to shower though. Rocket is a cutie that is for sure. You will have a great time at Miller Park if you get the chance. Of course the name will be changing in the future, because American Family Insurance has purchased the naming rights to the park. It will take me some time to stop calling it Miller Park, I still have a habit of calling it County Stadium right now.
Erika, Congrats to your ds's lacrosse team on the state tournament victory. That doesn't happen often, and I'm glad that he got to play so much. Sounds like progress is being made on the bathrooms. Enjoy your RWH/ICE combo. I'm in a RAW workout mood right now, and it has been a lot of fun. We had some storms last night, but nothing severe. We really don't need all this rain, but I'm not going to complain. We have had a few years of really dry weather, but this will be a horrible mosquito year. I can see them buzzing at the windows already.
Tami, Great job on your workouts! That class sounds brutal. I'm glad to hear that you are busy, sure does make the day go a lot faster. Kelly has been posting some RAW workouts to follow, and they fall into the heavy weight week format (at least in my mind
). It has been a fun week so far doing the workouts that she is suggesting. My knee has been happy with this format also. Rocket loves daycare, he seems to know what days he is suppose to go. Tomorrow he will be following me around the house until it is time to leave. I can't believe that you and your bf where in pouring rain on bikes. I hope that it wasn't cold rain, that is the worst. I hope that you both are able to get your ride in sometime this week.
Thelma, Great job on the yoga. I'm sure that appointment can't come soon enough. I hope they are able to find whatever is wrong, and that you start feeling better. Rocket must have been a big ham that day, because they hardly ever have any pictures of him. I'm glad that they do this also, otherwise I don't think I would have any pictures of him at all.
Have a great day!
June 5, 2019 2:12PM
Hi Ladies, today's workouts were gentle yoga and Sculpted-Movement Fusion.
I had DH call the license office to double check on the emissions test. He was told BR doesn't enforce the emissions test so we'll go register my car tomorrow.
We finally got some much needed rain today! It will rain till next Wed I read today, for a total of 8 inches of rain.
Laurie, fantastic workouts!!
You need to start taking pictures of Rocket! He is so cute!
Hi Laurel, Tami & Erika!
Good night ladies!
June 6, 2019 4:05AM
Morning Ladies,
This morning was another RAW workout Kettlebell Dumbbell Fusion, really have been enjoy these RAW workouts this week.
Thelma, Great job on the yoga. Glad to hear that you don't need the emissions to get your car registered. That has to be nice. Good news on the rain, I'm sure that it will be soaked up quickly. If I was really good at taking pictures, then I would probably take more of them.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Ladies ~ So yesterday was RWH – LIHI Chest/Shoulders/Tris and if I don't go hit golf balls tonight I will get in the other LIHI Back/Bi's after work + a Peloton ride. DH agreed to golf this Saturday in a fund raiser tournament with our friends, (supposed to be the WORST weather day of the week
). So in preparation she and I were going to go hit balls but it is supposed to be really rainy this afternoon too. I vote for my workouts after work vs. hitting balls in the cold rainy weather. LOL
Thelma: Excellent job continuing on the Yoga workouts! I bet you are on absolute countdown for that appt. I am sure nobody wants to feel better more than you. Poor woman.
Laurie: Great workouts with the RAW line up you are continuing to do! Sounds like a great one for the upper body forsure and then today's KB/DB Fusion. I am glad your knee is enjoying those workouts as well. On the pouring rain bike ride …….. it was COLD rain, not warm at all. It actually felt like it was hailing on us as we rode into it on the way back. Definitely don't want to get caught in one of those again.
Hi Laurel ~ Hope all is going well with your in-laws.
Talk to you ladies tomorrow - Have a great afternoon/evening!
p.s. I decided to go ahead and order Cathe's Step Boss ... I figured for the price I will probably like 2 of the 3 forsure. I'm a sucker for a good DVD sale I guess. Fingers crossed.

Hi Ladies, today's workout was a killer Barre workout. We didn't have a chance to go register my car today. We'll try going there tomorrow.
The rain continued today. I'm so thankful for the rain because I was afraid of a brush fire around here.
Laurie, so glad you've enjoyed the RAW workouts this week. Great job!
OMG, we're total opposites when it comes to taking pictures! LOL
Tami, great workouts!! Are you getting rain too? I hope your weather improves for the tournament!
Since I moved to BR, I felt that time just flew by, but not now that I need for my GI specialist's appointment day to get here!
I can't believe you ordered the Step Boss program! I agree that 2 of those workouts sound good. I'm still a no go on this program.
Hi Laurel, I hope your in-laws made to you safely.
Hi Erika!
Good night ladies!

Happy Friday Ladies! Another long week it feels like and the weekend will be busy. No golf range last night it was absolutely pouring down rain. So I was able to get in my workout instead! YAY Today was S&S PHA and depending on plans tonight after work I will hit the Peloton. There is no more Friday Night Spinning at the gym for the summer .... I would opt for the Peloton anyway but sometimes it was nice to just hit that and head home on Friday's. So tomorrow will be the stormy golf tourney all day and Sunday I found out my BIL and his girlfriend are coming over in the afternoon. So it will be a busy, quick weekend. Hoping to get a workout in before I leave tomorrow a.m.
Thelma: Way to go with your Barre workout today. I bet you are so happy to have your DH around right now with the way your body/energy has been feeling. I know he is helpful for you, so that is great.
I can't believe I ordered Step BOSS either
Fingers crossed that my plan of 2 of the 3 will work for me.
We have been getting crazy random rain and stormy weather and then it changes quickly. Which is very normal for our part of the country, especially this time of year. This a.m. was in the 40's, will warm up to maybe 60 today and by next week it is supposed to be close to 90 degrees. WHAT?!? So strange. Stormy tomorrow however for our tourney.
Have a great weekend!
June 7, 2019 6:05PM
Morning Ladies,
On Friday I had to be at work early, so I didn't workout. We had an all day training event, and unfortunately the majority of the training was standing. So by the end of the day my feet, back and knee where hurting. This was a new training, so I hope that they decide to change something with all the standing. Anyway no workout on Saturday, I had a meeting at church, then went to Ulta for a facial (spent some $ on product
) and then we went shopping for some plants. So by the time we got home, I was exhausted.
My first workout was on Sunday and I did RAW Upper Body Blast and Kettlebell & DB's. We also went to visit DH's mother after church, and then went to Home Depot and then grocery shopping. Got home from all of that and proceeded to get some gardening done. Overall busy weekend, but it was very productive. This morning was RAW Boxing & Sculpting. I guess I'm still wanting to work out with Kelly, and these RAW workouts are so fun.
Tami, Great job on all your workouts! I hope that your golf was not in the rain, that sounds worse than riding your bike in that COLD rain. By the way that rain sounded horrible. With rain hitting you skin at speed, I'm sure that it was like hail. Good for you on the Step Boss purchase. I'm going to hold off of that one. I will wait for all the wonderful reviews that you and Laurel will be giving, and then I will be sad that I didn't purchase it.
We have been having that same type of weather, it was really cold yesterday morning. Although this morning there was a lovely cool breeze going, so we opened up windows. So far we have not had to turn on our AC.
Thelma, Nice job on the barre workout. Glad to hear that you received the predicted rain, I'm sure that the nature around you appreciated it. LOL I really do need to get better with pictures. I was looking at some of the Iris's that I planted, and wanted to take a pic of them. The same Iris's that I planted in two different places are different in color. The ones that are close to the walnut tree are paler than the ones I planted by our garage. I found that interesting that the PH of the soil would change the color so much. Now I will have to take a pic, just so you all can see the difference.
Have a great day!
June 10, 2019 1:56PM
Hi Ladies! I survived the visit from my in-laws!
Actually it was a nice visit, and they seem to be doing much better than they were last year when they visited us in Alaska, especially my MIL who could barely walk last year. I was able to show them a couple of independent living places here near Huntsville, but I think they have definitely decided on moving to Missouri. They didn't like how big and busy Huntsville has gotten since they lived here 54 years ago (when DH was born). And it looks like they might have sold their house, so that move may be coming up quickly.
I went from a house full of people yesterday to being alone for the week as DH is on his way to Salt Lake City. Being the loner I am, I think I might enjoy the peace for a little while.
I do have the guys coming to put my shower door up tomorrow, so hopefully that project will be done this week as well.
I worked out each day my in-laws were here. For the last three days of last week, I repeated the LIHI upper body workouts and did a Cathe Live lower body workout. I also did low impact cardio those days since my workout area is just above the guest room. On Saturday I did After Burn. Yesterday, starting high reps week, I did LITE Pyramid Pump Lower Body followed by XT All Out Low Impact HiiT. Today was LITE Pyramid Pump Upper Body followed by a higher impact
workout....Cathe Live Cardio Core Blast. The rest of the week I plan to stick a little closer to the plan I mapped out....but will probably substitute one or both of the leg workouts with Live workouts. We'll see.
Erika, congratulations to your son and his Lacrosse team. Bet he was very happy about that. I love the sound of your new rotation combining two fantastic programs. Cathe still messes up during her Live workouts. I actually got a chance to tell her at the Road Trip that one of the things I like about Live is the 'real-ness' of them. She said not everybody likes that aspect...and some days I don't either. I definitely prefer more even counting doing weights, though. Anyhow, hope the bathroom project is going well. You have my sympathies with the mess.
Ours has been a tiny project and even then.....
Tami, hope you enjoyed the golf event this weekend and the weather wasn't too bad. Sounds like your weather has been all over the place.
Congratulations on buying Step Boss. I think you will definitely love the PHA workout, especially if it is like her Live one where she added cardio blasts (and it sounds similar to that workout, except she will most likely be using the step for the blasts as opposed to the floor as she did in her Live class). But there was no choreography at all. So I expect things like Power 15s, or box jumps or stuff like that....not turn here, sashay backwards, hop over and twirl stuff.
I think the IMAX one will also be really good. Great workouts as always!!
Thelma, one day closer to your appointment. Hope you are doing okay. Erika gave you a good suggestion with gluten. Hopefully you will get some answers soon. Like you, we have had rain since last Wednesday (timed almost perfectly with the arrival of my in-laws). It had been so nice to get the moisture because, like you, I was starting to get a little worried about fires. Hopefully we will be in a pattern for more rain for the rest of the summer. We planted many of our plants in April, and I will tell you.....these tomatoes we are getting off them are SO good. Thankfully we planted lots of tomatoes.
Great job with your workouts.
Laurie, sounds like a busy but good weekend. Sounds like the RAW workouts are going wonderfully. I definitely would not have enjoyed a day of training on my feet all day unless we were moving. Standing is about the worst thing for my back, that's for sure. Glad you were able to work on your garden this weekend.
Off to clean the house. See you tomorrow!
June 10, 2019 5:23PM
Hi Ladies, I hope you all had a nice weekend. I'm falling apart! My fingers are now swelling up. I have the feeling this is part of Raynaud's syndrome. I am achy and tired. I've been waking up with swollen fingers and it goes down during the day but it comes back at night again. Forget about wearing rings or lifting weights! My hand strength is pretty bad due to the swelling.
I picked up a regional medical directory magazine at the pharmacy and discovered that there is a rheumatologist in BR. She only comes here twice a month. They offered me an appointment for July 22! I can't wait that long so I took an appointment in her Atlanta office next week. I hope I won't get lost! I told DH to send a search party out for me if I don't make it back home. I think it will take me 1 1/2 hours to get to the clinic.
We walked a little bit during the weekend and discovered a wonderful seafood restaurant in a neighboring town. The drugstore in this town is also a gun store! Only in the South! LOL. Next time we go to that restaurant we'll have to check out the drug/gun store!
On Friday we tried to register my car but didn't have the lender's account number so we'll try tomorrow.
Today's workouts were Gentle Yoga and Barre.
Tami, I hope playing golf in the rain wasn't too bad! Great job with your workouts! Your weather sounds like a New England spring!
Laurie, I can't believe you had to be on your feet all day long for that training! No wonder you were in pain! Great workouts!
Interesting about your irises being different shades of purple. I'll be waiting for those pictures! LOL
Laurel, glad you survived your in-laws' visit! I hope your shower is finally completed this week too! Fabulous workouts!!
I am eagerly waiting for next week to come since I have GI and rheumatology appointments.
We got a lot of rain since last Wednesday but the rainiest day was Saturday. DH said it rained pretty hard this morning but I was at the yoga studio so I missed it. We are surrounded by jungle so I was very worried about fires.
I hope we get rain a few times a week going forward. Tomatoes off the vine are really good. Are you making spaghetti sauce with all those tomatoes?
Hi Erika!
Have a great day ladies!
June 11, 2019 4:15AM
Morning Ladies,
This morning I did RAW Hips & Glutes and Body Revolution Workout 1. Since we are going to be gone at the end of June for our vacation in Wichita, I'm trying to find some good workouts that I can have on my ipad. I think that RAW and Jillian will be my best options. The hotel has a really nice workout room, so I'm going to take advantage of it.
Laurel, Glad to hear that the visit with your in-laws went well. Nice that they may have sold there house in FL also. Is the area in Missouri not that busy? Great job on all your workouts, and of course doing ones that where not high impact. I can understand you not wanting to disturb your guests. Sounds like you will be enjoying your alone time right now, do enjoy it. I have veered from the rotation lately, and with me wanting to make sure that I get in some good workouts during our vacation, I have been experimenting. I have my RAW and Jillian apps on my ipad, and since those both use minimal equipment, I think they will be the best options.
Thelma, Dang on the health issues that you are having to deal with, I hope that your appointment with your new doctor goes really well. Just to bad that you have to drive so far. LOL about the drugstore/gun store. Great job on your yoga, I'm sure that you are happy to have that option for working out. The Iris's are actually yellow, I got them from my Aunt. Yesterday when I got home all the stems where on the ground from the high winds that we had all day. I'm sure that I will be able to get some pictures, since the darker colored ones still have buds on them.
Have a great day!
June 11, 2019 1:33PM
Hi Ladies!
We're surviving the bathroom re-model and hopefully nearing the end. Day 2 on the master bath is today and day 3 (hoping the final day) is tomorrow. I have to get back to work tomorrow though, so hopefully they aren't here all day. Very tough to be on the phone all the time when there are people going in and out, machines running, etc. We are very happy with the boys bathroom and the floors are in in our bathroom, which look amazing. I'm very glad we went ahead with the remodel, despite all of the headache. It's also prompted us to finally set up a painter to come in and paint the walls. This paint is original to the home (20 years old), so it is much needed! One last project is to install a vent above the stove for a vent hood. We have a center island with no vent hood, so everytime we cook anything that requires frying (ie. bacon, stir fry, etc) the smoke alarms go off as we have a split home and the smoke immediately goes to the upstairs hallway smoke alarm. After that project, we are done for some time!
I missed pretty much every day of working out last week due to the contractors being here. I have to keep the dogs out of their way and Leo isn't able to free roam with the other 2 (he's still working on potty training) so he has to be kenneled. Let's just say, he doesn't care to be kenneled. I figured I'd spare the contractors the sound like a dog was dying while I work out. By the time my hubby gets home at night, dinner is done and I've let my stomach settle, it's bedtime. Hopefully this week I can get back in the groove.
Thelma, I'm sorry you are having so many symptoms...the swelling sounds horrible! I wouldn't be shocked if you have Celiac (or even just a sensitivity). Since so many people in my husbands family have one or the other, we've learned that each person's symptoms are different. My nephew had none at all...they just tested him because we had a couple others in the family that had tested positive (after having some major symptoms). My son had no symptoms, my husband had a few. It's at least easy to test and hopefully you'll get some answers. Glad you are getting in some nice workouts and glad you are getting the much needed rain there. We can send you more if you need it!
Laurie, I'm with you...we don't need anymore rain, but it's ok. Could be worse, I guess. I also have noticed the mosquitoes are out early this year and the gnats are insane here!! I'm going to look into those RAW workouts again. I looked last time I had the Cathe Live membership and it was just too much all at once. But, I'm craving some KCM again!!
Laurel, I'm glad to hear the visit with the in laws was good and you were able to get your workouts in! I'm going to be glad when this bathroom project is done...it's amazing how long it takes and ours isn't even a full gut job! Hopefully you get your shower doors in and yours can get wrapped up soon! Ahh, that facial sounds amazing...I am craving one of those...I've only ever had one, but it was so relaxing!
Tami, I'm glad you are staying so busy at work...I bet that makes the days fly by! We are continuing to stay a bit slower (by slow, that means steady throughout an 8 hour day instead of enough work for 13 hours, crammed into a day) which I am really enjoying. I took 2 days off last week and was able to catch up within a few hours, which made me feel better about taking the day off. Your class with Katy sounds absolutely horrible and great at the same time! I still may consider the Peloton...if we ever get done with projects!
Hopefully I'm back on yet this week. Things are much more manageable activity wise (only 1 sports activity per week for the summer) so I should be able to get on here more frequently.

Hi Ladies! Well, no shower guy today.
At least he called to let me know. Hopefully tomorrow though. But at least I got a good workout in.
I started with Cathe Live Oh My Quad then did Cathe Live Warrior Kickboxing. Like Laurie with the RAW workouts, I am in the mood for Cathe Live, so I think I may be focusing on them the rest of the week. Of course, my mood may change tomorrow and I will be back to DVDs.
Thelma, yikes on the hand swelling! I am so glad you have some appointments next week to get some answers on what is going on. You had me laughing at the Drug and Gun Store.
We have a few stores like that here in Alabama. I haven't had enough tomatoes to make sauce yet, but I plan on it when they really start producing. I want some fresh sauce in the freezer for the winter. I also hope to make some fresh salsa.
I am definitely going to have a tough time going back to store tomatoes after this summer.
Laurie, sounds like another good workout. I love that you are already planning for your trip. I also love that you are going with workouts you want to be doing. That is exactly how I am trying to approach my workouts this summer as well. I find it is nice for me to have a 'guide' so that I at least have some focus. That keeps me from either doing the same workout six days in a row......and also keeps me from staring endlessly at my workouts wondering what to do.
I am definitely planning on enjoying the quiet time I have today since I don't have anybody coming to work on the house. I should probably run errands, but I think I may just read a book.
Erika, glad to hear the bathroom project continues to go well and you are happy with the decision. But I agree about the noise and the distraction it creates. I will be so glad when this is done as our little project has now eaten into six weeks!
After the door gets in place, we will still need construction workers in to replace the base boards and repaint some damaged areas....but at least we will have a shower again. I never imagined this would take this long!
Tami, hope you are well!

Hi ladies and Happy Tuesday!
What happened to Monday?!!?
Workouts: Friday after work was a nice Peloton "Feel Good Ride" (don't let the description fool you … lol), Saturday I did a 45 min Peloton ride in the a.m. before having to leave for the golf tourney, which was FREEZING, windy and rainy most of the day. We were there from 11 – 7 pm because of the 2 hour fundraiser after the golf. Looooooong day.
Sunday I did Ramped Up Upper Body + Peloton 30 min "Feel Good" ride. Yesterday was BootCamp after work. It was a good class, not over the top and no running. Her class attendance is going down a lot due to the nice weather I think. Of course after the tourney on Sunday it was a perfect weather day and is continuing all week. My friend Ashley and I are headed out for a sunshine ride after work. Probably around the lake again.
Laurie: Your Friday sounds like a very long day at work, glad you survived the training and hopefully re-cooped over the weekend. The facial and new products sounds like a perfect way to "heal up" from the long day Friday. LOL Excellent job getting in your RAW workout Sunday and it sounds like a nice combo. Always love upper body and KB combined. I think it's great that you have found some workouts that you are simply loving right now. Of course with Kelly that makes it pretty easy. Nicely done. The golf (as I mentioned above) was in the rain and my feet were wet immediately so I was cold ALL day. I did bring a change of clothes and shoes/socks so that helped but the fundraiser is also outside in a covered porch area off the clubhouse. DH insisted we stay to the end. OMG, such a long day. I have my fingers crossed that I don't regret the Step Boss purchase last week. As I told Thelma, at least if there are 2 of the 3 I can conquer and enjoy that is good. LOL
Laurel: So happy to hear you survived the in-laws visit and all went well. "Nice even" I bet you are enjoying your quiet time at home now by yourself while DH is gone. Way to work every day even while they were there visiting by the way. Oooooooh Afterburn …. A blast from the recent past but feels like such a long time since I did that one. Along with so many others.
So good. Way to go on all your combos you continue to put together. I need to plan out the rest of my workouts this week. Since we have a tentative itinerary that you were so kind to give me I try to plan out which ones I will do and what days. At any rate, I need to just get that plugged in the rest of the week and stick to it. As I mentioned to Laurie, I really hope I do like the Step Boss. I think the PHA one will be awesome forsure, I love athletic based step workouts vs. dancy/choreography and after I read the description for the IMAX one it sounded like at least there was a modification for basic choreography, so that should be perfect. Our weather has definitely been all over the place. Today it is mid 80's and beautiful. Will continue through the next week they say and climbing temps! Headed out for a bike ride with my friend from the gym again. No rain tonight.
Thelma: I am so sorry you are continuing to have symptoms which are probably all inter-connected somehow to everything going on. Can't wait for you to have some relief. Despite it all getting in your Yoga is probably so beneficial forsure mentally and physically so way to push on through it when you can.
Hi Erika ~ Sounds like a very busy time for you as well. Yes, time goes by so much faster with the work load being heavier. Just doing whatever I can to help out our busy title officers. Would love to learn more but that will come one of these days.
Have a great afternoon/evening ladies. Talk to you tomorrow! Tami

Christmas Wreath
Another week, and another challenge begins over on the Eureka blog. Our theme is to add bling. I chose to do another Christmas card.
I used From Our House to Yours and Wreath with Bird from the Eureka store. I used a circle die for the wreath, fussy cutting around the tails on the bow first. The die underneath is Picot Edge Circles from Spellbinders.
As always...thanks for stopping by and I you'll join us over on the Eureka blog for our challenge!

Welcome to the third week of the House of Cards Challenge where we're showcasing Cute and Fun designs using the color palette and/or picture above. I think perhaps I forayed into the land of vintage/shabby on this one, but I still think this truck is cute.
The Authentique 6x6 pad I used had the perfect paper to go with this stamp.
As a bonus I'll share the card I made with the other half of the patterned paper:
I really love the look of burlap and lace together, so I thought I'd try a background with the two - and I couldn't resist adding a bit of sewing!

Welcome to a new week and a new challenge at Eureka Stamps! This week we're going vintage, and since I'm in the middle of canning season, I'm thinking canning jars.
I'm using a QKR image- Jar and Apples. Watercolors and some Glossy Accents on the jar. Burlap, eyelets, sewing, a bit of inking on the edges and kraft cardstock for the base. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll feel inspired to play along with our vintage/distress challenge this week.

Eureka Floral Paper Challenge
Thanks to everyone that stopped by all the design team blogs during the hop for our last challenge...isn't it great to share ideas and leave a bit of love for our fellow crafty friends?
For this week's challenge we're digging into our paper stash and pulling out the floral paper. I wanted to do something other than just using it for the background, so I did a bit of paper piecing using the Presents digi from Eureka. Then I made a banner using Happy Birthday also from Eureka. The little banners and papers I used were from an American Crafts paper pad, so they were super easy to coordinate. I colored the ribbons and bows with a couple Copics and a glitter pen.
I have one thing I'd like to bring up today and I'd love to hear from anyone who has any thoughts on the subject:
One thing I've noticed in the crafty blog world is that there is never any constructive criticism. I understand that everyone has their own tastes and style, but I don't think I've ever seen a comment where anyone leaves a suggestion for improvement. Personally I welcome the opportunity to learn from others, so feel free to leave me feedback with your suggestions on improving a design. I'll admit to not always liking my own designs after finishing them, but I'm not always sure how to fix them, so I believe it would be helpful to hear honest opinions from others.

The great Elmore Leonard, author of forty-five novels and master of the crime thriller, died yesterday morning at home. He was eighty-seven. He leaves behind legions of fans and some very wise and brilliant and useful words about writing. I especially like numbers 3, 4, 5, and 10, although I agree with all of them. These rules are excerpted from his more detailed 2001 New York Times article.
Writers on Writing: Easy on the Adverbs, Exclamation Points and Especially Hooptedoodle
By ELMORE LEONARD
Published: July 16, 2001
These are rules I've picked up along the way to help me remain invisible when I'm writing a book, to help me show rather than tell what's taking place in the story. If you have a facility for language and imagery and the sound of your voice pleases you, invisibility is not what you are after, and you can skip the rules. Still, you might look them over.
1. Never open a book with weather.
2. Avoid prologues.
3. Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue.
The line of dialogue belongs to the character; the verb is the writer sticking his nose in.
4. Never use an adverb to modify the verb "said" . . .
. . . he admonished gravely. To use an adverb this way (or almost any way) is a mortal sin.
5. Keep your exclamation points under control.
You are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words of prose.
6. Never use the words "suddenly" or "all hell broke loose."
I have noticed that writers who use "suddenly" tend to exercise less control in the application of exclamation points.
7. Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly.
Once you start spelling words in dialogue phonetically and loading the page with apostrophes, you won't be able to stop.
8. Avoid detailed descriptions of characters.
9. Don't go into great detail describing places and things.
Unless you're Margaret Atwood and can paint scenes with language or write landscapes in the style of Jim Harrison.
And finally:
10. Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
Think of what you skip reading a novel: thick paragraphs of prose you can see have too many words in them. What the writer is doing, he's writing, perpetrating hooptedoodle, perhaps taking another shot at the weather, or has gone into the character's head, and the reader either knows what the guy's thinking or doesn't care.
My most important rule is one that sums up the 10.
If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.

The patients who come to the NIH Clinical Center to participate in studies may have rare, complicated conditions. They along with you, their caregiver, may face unique challenges. As a family caregiver, you know how to take care of others. But it's also important to take time out to "REST:" -Relax -Eat Healthy and Stay Active -Sleep -Take care of yourself
Family members and friends often serve as caregivers and provide unconditional emotional and physical support. This can include activities such as maintaining the home, preparing meals, administering medications, tending to medical needs, driving to medical appointments, and coordinating medical care. This partnership is essential to support a loved one who is dealing with the challenges of serious illness or treatment.
Providing care to a family member or friend is a common yet challenging experience for many in the US1. An estimated 65.7 million people in the US serve as unpaid family caregivers, affecting approximately 36.5 million households. The majority of caregivers provide care to one family member, and an estimated 30% provide care to two or more individuals.

While there are spiders in Missouri that are harmless (not counting their unsightly webs and tendency to lurk in our homes),brown recluse spiders and black widow spiders are two poisonous spiders in St. Louis and Missouri that could venture into your home or business. Because they are dangerous spiders and avoiding contact with them is the way to go, it is important to be able to identify them and have an understanding of what makes these arachnids bite!
Identifying the dangerous spiders in St. Louis and Missouri
The black widow spider is often found on outdoors in woodpiles but also in outbuildings and dark secluded areas of your home. They are not aggressive and will generally try to stay hidden from you; biting only if threatened or defending their egg sac. Female black widows can reach 1 ½ inches in length with their legs extended, males are about half of the size. They are glossy black in color with a distinct reddish orange hour-glass shape on their belly. Black widow spiders are often introduced to the St. Louis area after being transported unknowingly in shipments from southern areas. They then can easily adapt and establish themselves in homes, garages, warehouses, and factories. A black widow spider bite can affect a victim's nervous system, causing muscle cramps, fever, nausea and disorientation. While people do become very ill they generally recover without any lasting damage, an exception to this is the very young, elderly, or ill. If you are bit by a black widow, it is best to seek medical attention.
Another dangerous spider in Missouri, the brown recluse is a poisonous species that can be found in undisturbed areas including attics, basements, crawl spaces, and closets as well as under furniture. They range in size from ¼- ½ inch and 1 ¼- 2 inches in total leg span. Tan to dark brown in color, brown recluse have a distinctive dark violin shape found behind their head. People are most often bitten after accidentally rolling on one in bed, or putting on clothing that has one hiding in it. A bite from the brown recluse introduces cytotoxic venom into its victim, which could result in the skin and tissue around the bite to die and slough off. This can result in a deep ulcer forming that if left untreated can become severely infected and become very difficult to heal. Like with black widows, if you are bit by brown recluse spiders you should talk to your doctor or if closed, seek out medical attention.
Spider prevention tips
In order to help protect you and your family from a dangerous spider bite there are some precautions that you should take around your home. In order to stop them from making their way into your home from outdoors you should:
inspect your doors and windows for any gaps and caulk any that are present.
Take a look at your screens to make sure that they are completely intact and if not they should be replaced or repaired.
Inspect your foundation for cracks and crevices; any that are found should be sealed.
Trim back trees and bushes that touch the exterior of your house so that spiders cannot hide in them or use their branches as a bridge.
Check packages and bags for spiders before bringing inside.
Always shake out any clothing that has been in storage before putting it on. Same with shoes, check for spiders before wearing.
Wear gloves when working in an outbuilding like a shed or garage.
Taking these precautions can help reduce the chances of coming into contact with and being bitten by a poisonous spider.
At Rottler Pest & Lawn Solutions we can provide you with quick, safe, effective spider control in St. Louis and Missouri. Our technicians will apply an exterior barrier treatment using residual insecticide around the perimeter foundation of your home. We will also treat other exterior areas around your property where spiders are likely to hide. Inside your home we can use a light treatment of an insecticide aerosol in areas like basements, attics and rooms that have been infested. We can also place sticky traps to catch spiders and reduce their numbers. If you need help with brown recluse extermination or black widow spider control, contact us today at Rottler and speak to one of our professionals and get all the details about our spider control program!

Have you ever wondered if your child is growing enough? How much is enough?
We watch our kids grow every day without even noticing or questioning if it's happening. We may notice significant growth when we haven't seen a child in a while but we never think twice of the daily occurrences and changes that happen in the body. Few really recognize what an accomplishment the growth of a child's body is because the growth of a child is "normal". It is what we expect. It is part of life.
Unfortunately, growing is not as easy for all kids. Some kids have chronic illnesses that prevent them from growing. Sometimes it's the illness itself and other times it's the medications that deal with the illness that stunt growth. When the growth of a child is compromised, it can affect them psychologically long-term and in many different ways.
Our child spent over 12 months without showing any growth when he was 7 years of age. At the time he had been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Despite a treatment plan and medications, he continued to show no growth due to inflammation and the lack of his body's ability to absorb nutrients critical for growth. The inflammation caused by IBD in children often causes malnutrition and therefore, affects growth. After a year, he had fallen off the growth chart.
As his parents, we searched frantically for a treatment that would jump-start his growth. As many of you know, he began to follow the protocol of a medical study which used the Specific Carbohydrate diet as a form of treatment. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet eliminates all starches and grains, refined sugar and unfermented dairy from the diet, among other items. It was a significant undertaking by our child to comply with the dietary restrictions. Hoping for an increase in his growth as well as relief of minor symptoms made the sacrifice worth it.
Six months after starting the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, our child showed 1 inch of growth. This inch was celebrated as if it was the largest accomplishment ever! Everyone that was part of the team was ecstatic. However, the psychological effects from coping with a chronic illness can manifest much later than the physical symptoms. Lack of growth can raise questions about their future development, overall height and self-confidence. Therefore, it is important to address the physical as well as the psychological effects when normal growth is affected.
Three years later, as he continues the same restricted diet and his symptoms for his Crohn's Disease are virtually non-existent, we are still faced with the challenge of his growth catching up from a lost year. Close to being a teenager now, he is well aware of his height and how short he is in comparison to his peers. This continues to affect him psychologically but we are hopeful that his body will catch up.
If your child's growth has been a challenged, we recommend:
- Have your child talk to a psychologist or a trained professional.
- Have your child talk to a nutritionist to make sure his food intake is sufficient and nutritious.
- Don't dwell on his height. Your child will feed from how much importance you give it.
- Track his weight and height every 3 months to make sure he stays on track.
- Ask your doctor how much weight gain should be expected per month to maintain appropriate growth. (Our GI doctor has suggested ½ – ¾ of a pound per month at the age of 12.)
So celebrate your child's growth! It is a huge daily accomplishment that affects the child's overall wellbeing.

Velcro® wallets are a popular style of billfold used to store money, credit cards, and personal items. They can come in many different colors, and are often emblazoned with a logo, saying, or other aspect that the owner finds appealing. A Velcro® wallet is considered extremely casual attire, and should not be carried in a formal setting; more than one inexperienced businessman has gotten strange looks from his guests when pulling out a Velcro® wallet to pay for an expensive dinner.
Contrary to what the name implies, a Velcro® wallet is not made completely out of Velcro®; only strips of the material are used to keep the billfold shut. The most common material used to make up the bulk of such a wallet is nylon, but other types of fabrics and leather can also be used.
Velcro® wallets generally come in the trifold style, and are small enough to fit into a pants pocket. Such trifold wallets have two folds, with the ends bending on top of each other to form three relatively equal-sized sections that stack one above the other. A "hook" strip of Velcro® is sewn onto one end of the wallet, with a matching "loop" strip of Velcro® sewn onto another section. When the wallet is closed, the Velcro® strips match up and fasten the wallet tightly together.
A Velcro® wallet can also come in other styles. Small bifold wallets with a matching strip of Velcro® at each end are common. Some shoes have been specially designed with their tongues split in half and sewn to form a small pouch, the top of which is sealed with Velcro®. Concealable wallets that are strapped to the waist or leg also often use Velcro® to fasten themselves both around the wearer and shut.
There are many advantages of a Velcro® wallet over other styles. First, the Velcro® fasteners force the wallet to close, keeping the contents more secure than unfastened styles. Second, the Velcro® generally holds the wallet in a compressed bundle that is less bulky than other wallet styles. Finally, because they are usually made of nylon, Velcro® wallets are more resilient than other styles of billfolds; they dry quickly when wet, are resistant to wear, and are harder to stain than those made from most other materials.
There are two primary disadvantages to a Velcro® wallet. When opened, a Velcro® wallet will make a loud ripping sound as the "hook" strip and the "loop" strip separate. As well, the "hook" strip of Velcro® can catch hair, lint, and other unwanted things in it, and may require cleaning.

I always keep a casual velcro wallet around because there are many things I like about them. If I am going to be spending the weekend outside with family the last thing I want to take with me is a nice mens leather wallet.
There is a place for both kinds, and it is nice to have the choice. I know they are great for kids because they keep things secure and are not very bulky.
Post 1
I like to use a velcro wallet because I feel that the contents in my wallet are much more secure when they are fastened shut with velcro. I have used both kinds, but now whenever I am looking for a new casual mens wallet, my first choice is always a velcro one.
I will say that there have been a few times when I wished I had a wallet that was not velcro. Especially if you are trying to be quiet - it is hard to open a velcro wallet and be very quiet.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

There are times that I sometimes wish I could cry myself to sleep, but I just can't. Most of the time, I feel too numb to, and I just let the pain fester. I guess that's the thing with me. Oh, well. At least it comes only when I sleep...
by the Corrs
You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
And moving from within
It clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappear
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm workin' through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep, (in my sleep)
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
It's only when I sleep
.:Battle Royale Promise:.
I do hereby resolve to finish the Battle Royale chapter II by the end of this week, even if it's only a first draft. Oh, well...
.:Finally, Feedback:.
I finally got a comment on my Radio Weblog about the whole PCS deal (Which I currently feel needs no further comment for now as the ball is still in their court right now.). I've been plugging it heavily, but I figure I should go and plug it via my Yahoo Messenger to really hammer the point... heh. That might work.
I'll leave some messages for them via YM, then. The kel_891 one, of course. The voldemort02 YM isn't really for the WAVE listeners... heh.
I still find it funny when people add me online and then ask if I'm from WAVE, though. I mean Hades, they got my YM addy on the air during my show. Isn't it obvious that the guy they're chatting with is from WAVE? And the _891 should say it all... geez. Sorry. Pet peeve.
Almost forgot to do that five-page mini-biography for Dr. Miroy's class. I'll do it sometime tonight or tomorrow. Watch for it. I think it'd be very interesting, considering how concise it'd have to be...
.:New Friends:.
I'm glad I made some new online friends recently, Ms. Clair Ching being one of them. I find a lot of interesting stories from these people...
Didn't even realize my batchmate-now-LJ-friend, Martin Perez, is already a teacher himself. Of course, I think he's teaching high school students...
Even some of my newer friends who are also my students/classmates are nice, too. I heard that I'm actually the nicer T.A. in the eyes of my Ethics students, which I honestly found weird. I always thought I was the terror. Heh. And of course, some of my students/classmates are just easy on the eyes, but that's a different story. Besides, there's that Korean Sunday School in Strata during the weekends to look forward to...

Over the last couple of days I've been getting my head round the challenge ahead and realise that time is most definitely not my friend! At this stage, certain challenges seem nigh on impossible - I'm fairly sure that I'm not going to get to meet the Queen and have serious reservations about getting to Glastonbury given that I haven't even registered for tickets.
However, as any one that knows me will tell you, I've never been one to shirk a challenge and have already made some decent progress in my bid to get under way with as many challenges as I can.
Challenge 7: Read 30 books
I made a start on this yesterday when I downloaded my first book, George R R Martin's A Clash of Kings, the second instalment of his Game of Thrones series. At 600+ pages, it's perhaps not the brightest of books to choose when you've got another 29 to read before 7th October 2014 (a rate of a book every 11.8 days) but I really enjoyed the first book in the series and want to read all of them as part of the challenge.
I'm not the quickest of readers but have made pretty decent progress with the chunks of time I've had and according to my Kindle I've read 22% so far.
Challenge 3: Grow a real beard
After consultation with my girlfriend, Lauren, it was agreed that I made a start on this one as soon as possible so that I could complete the challenge and have it shaved off before wedding season next year. Previous attempts to grow any kind of facial furniture have been feeble at best but even I'm confident that I can grow something resembling a beard in 6 months.
So this evening I shaved for the last time and set up an Instagram account where I will be posting daily updates of my attempt to grow a beard. Here's a picture of me having my last shave:
Challenge 23: Win at least £10 on the National Lottery
I have never won so much as £10 on the lottery and most likely never will despite the fact that I now have 104 opportunities to do so by buying a ticket for every draw between now and my birthday next year. I haven't worked out a tactic yet on whether to stick with the same numbers each time in the hope that in 104 attempts they are bound to come up once or spice it up a little bit by picking numbers at random each time. However, I did buy my first lottery ticket for Saturday's draw today and these are the numbers:
Challenge 26: Meet 30 other people called Andy Jackson
I fired off my Facebook messages to my first volley of Andy Jackson's today, each of whom are based in the UK. Three have accepted my friend requests and one has already agreed in principle to meet me. The only stumbling block is that this particular Andy Jackson lives up North. However, we have agreed to meet up in Liverpool at a date as yet TBC. I'd like to thank Andy for being the first to agree to take part and hope that his example will get the ball rolling...
Challenge 29: Bulk up to have a body like Ryan Gosling
Besides meeting the Queen and climbing Kilimanjaro, this is perhaps my toughest challenge of the lot. I am super skinny and have never been able to put on weight and, as the picture above demonstrates, air brush or no air brush I have a lot of work to do.
I'm going to give it a go, however, and made my first visit to the weights section of the gym in quite some time to get started. I'm pretty sure Gosling can bench press 35 kg with his little finger but it was a start. I even managed to put away a protein shake.
That's as far as I've got on the Challenge front so far but I'm pretty happy with the start that I've made. The most important Challenge on the list, is, of course, raising the £30,000 for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research which is the only one out of my control.
You can help me achieve this one by donating today.
Thanks for all your support. Together we will beat blood cancer.

There are so several different water aerobics routines out there since there are so many inventive instructors!

What a lot of folks aren't conscious of is that they do not have to just use the aerobic step bench at their favorite gym. The only thing that you must preserve in thoughts is that you'll have to do far more physical exercise to burn the very same amount of calories that you would if you were walking on a treadmill.

With my mother-in-law's cancer we have been spending a lot of time at the hospital, mostly in waiting rooms. Usually these long waits are because of the hospital or doctor, and there isn't much we can do. However, sometimes it is because we forgot an exam result, or misunderstood a telephone call. There are so many things to remember and understand, on top of all the stress and fear, that sometimes we make mistakes.
Luckily there are some things that can help, like a healthcare binder. Here is a link with great advice on how to make a binder for a patient.
And here is one I made earlier for my mother-in-law.
Inside the binder there are different sections with small pockets,
and clear plastic pockets.
I had to improvise because I couldn't find all the type of "pockets" I wanted, but I think it will do the job just fine.

I visited the Alemany Farmer's Market yesterday for the first time...definitely a nice change of pace from Saturday at the Ferry Building.
We bought some yellow squashes, a melon, some leeks and a peach, but most of the time was spent eating breakfast.
We started off at the coffee stand that sells alfajores...I was buying a coffee when I saw someone else order an empanada. These looked great, and my friend and I each ordered one. As I chatted with the woman running the stand, I found out she is Chilean, and as I had suspected, the empanadas were Chilean empanadas.
I spent a year living in Chile (and ate LOTS of empanadas) and I can definitely say these were the best Chilean empanadas I have had outside of Chile. In fact, the only complaint I have is that I thought they were too small! I should have ordered two!
The empanadas were reheated from cold to just a bit warm. The baked crust had a nice balance of crunch and softness, and wasn't overly thick. In other words, good crust to filling ratio. The filling consists of ground beef, sweet sauteed onions and raisins, along with the traditional piece of hard boiled egg and an olive. I possibly heard mention that they sometimes offer other types of empanadas, but I didn't confirm this. Does anyone know?
Next stop was the All-Star Tamale stand...my friend had a spinach and cheese tamal and I had the sweet tamal. My tamal was actually two tamales wrapped together...they were extremely moist and fresh, better than any sweet tamale I've ever had in the Mission. I was pleased. His spinach/cheese tamal was good but I didn't think it was all that interesting.
Overall, a nice start to a good day of food.

Why Do I Need Car Insurance?
Many people have had the same auto insurance limits for years, and in some cases, even decades! However, if you are in an accident and they find you at fault, you might be held responsible for any portion of the costs that are uninsured, to make sure that the prevailing party is whole, if it is found to be in excess of the limits of your current car insurance policy.

Many individuals and families are considered "collectable" in these cases. The Chrysalis Insurance Agency suggests reviewing the coverage amounts and types of coverages in your policies to make sure your collectability is safe.

JavaScript Conditional Statements Tutorial
Following on from the epic tutorial on JavaScript Arrays and Loops, this is a much shorter one to give you a breather! In that tutorial we were using what are called JavaScript Conditional Statements – i.e. we want to perform certain actions based on defined conditions. One condition was the value of
action. If action was 'Shuffle' we performed one block of code, if action was 'Hit Me', we performed a different block of code.
Simple Conditional – JavaScript if() Statement
To check if a condition is met we use a,
if(){ } clause. What code's in between the
()'s is your condition. Take this simple example:
what_day_is_it = "Friday"; if(what_day_is_it == "Friday"){ alert("Yay! It is nearly the weekend!"); }
We assign the word 'Friday' to the variable
what_day_is_it. Then if that variable is 'Friday' we pass out a simple
alert() to declare that it is nearly the weekend.
How to Evaluate Conditions
There are different ways to evaluate conditions:
- Does one valus equal another? Then you need to use
==. This must be a double equals. A
=assigns a value, whereas a
==evaluates a condition.
- Is one value less than another? Then you need to use
<. – e.g.
if(x < y)would ask if x is less than y
- Is one value greater than another? Then you need to use
>. – e.g.
if(x > y)would ask if x is greater than y
- To see if one value is less than or equal to another, you use
<=– e.g.
if(x <= y)would ask if x is less than or equal to y
- To see if one value is greater than or equal to another, you use
>=– e.g.
if(x >= y)would ask if x is greater than or equal to y
- To ask if one value does not equal another you need to use
!=. Example of this below.
what_day_is_it = "Thursday"; if(what_day_is_it != "Friday"){ alert("Boo! The weekend is miles away!"); }
So this time
what_day_is_it is set to 'Thursday'. Then if what_day_is_it is not "Friday" we output a message.
Understanding the Response of a Conditional Statement
JavaScript Conditional Statements give a 'hidden' value to determine if the condition is met. This is in the form of 'True or False' (alternatively 1 or 0 respectively). In programming terms this is called a Boolean. If a condition is met then the conditional statement returns True. If a conditional is not met, then the statement returns False. This does not need to be programmed in, as it is handled automatically. But it's important you know what's going on behind your
if() statements.
What if a Condition Is Not Met?
With the two code snippets above, if the condition is not met, the nothing happens. The code does nothing and the user does not know that nothing has happened! When writing the functions in JavaScript you must always keep the user informed about what's going on.
If your condition is not met then we need to use an
else{} statement. Let's extend the snippet above with an
else{ } statement and see what happens.
what_day_is_it = "Thursday"; if(what_day_is_it != "Friday"){ alert("Boo! The weekend is miles away!"); } else{ alert('Yay for Friday! The Weekend is nearly here!'); }
Depending on what value you give to
what_day_is_it will yield one of two outputs. If that variable does not equal "Friday" then one alert() is put out. If that condition is not met (which in this case means if
what_day_is_it does equal "Friday") then a separate message is given. That means regardless of the outcome, the user is told something.
More than One Condition
Not many conditional statements have one condition to be met. In the next lesson we will be looking at Basic Form Validation. When users can put what they want into a form, you will rarely get one type of result.
To test multiple conditions you can use the
else if(){ } statement. Bear in mind though if you have an
else if(){ } you must end your set with an
else{ } condition:
if(CONDITION 1){ // do something } else if(CONDITION 2){ // do something else } else if(CONDITION 3){ // do another thing } else{ // if none of the above are TRUE then do this. }
Evaluating More Than One Condition at Once
You might want to create a rule which asks two questions at once. Say you had an organisation that was aimed at 20-30 year olds. You want want to know whether the new member's age was greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 30. This is how you achieve that:
if(member_age <=20 && member_age>30){ alert('You are a valid member age!'); } else{ alert('We are sorry but you cannot join our organisation'); }
- To see if multiple conditions are all met then you need to use
&&(which means 'AND') between each condition.
- To check that one of your rules is met you can use
||(which means 'OR').
Nested Rules
Going one step further, if our organisation is a ladies-only organisation for women who are ages 20-30. You can end up with
- Men who try to apply
- Women who try to apply but are either younger than 20 or older than 30.
- Women who apply and are age 20-30
In this case you can nest each rule within a set of brackets:
(). This works like:
if((condition 1) && (condition 2 && condition 3))
if(member_gender=="female" && (member_age <=20 && member_age>30){ alert('You are a valid member age and gender'); } else if(member_gender=="male"){ alert('Apologies but our organisation is for ladies only.'); } else{ alert('We are sorry but you are not the right age to join us.'); }
With our 'TRUE/FALSE' outcomes we want to know:
- does
member_gender == "female"AND
- is
member_age>=20 && member_age<=30
You can use AND (
&&) and OR (
||) within each nested statement as well.
Aside: A Simple Prompt for Input From the User
As this doesn't really warrent a whole lesson, JavaScript gives you a really easy way to ask for user for text input – via the
prompt() function. You can then assign what they put in to a variable.
ask_the_user = prompt('What day is it today?');
If they put something in then
ask_the_user is given that value. If they don't (i.e. they try to press 'OK' without putting something in) or if they press 'CANCEL' then you can use an if() statement to catch that.
A Working Example of JavaScript Conditional Statements
In so-called 'Western Culture' we love to celebrate the weekend, so let's create a simple script to help people celebrate. We will ask the user to tell us what the day of the week it is and then use our conditional statements to output an appropriate message.
In this example, we will be using code from our JavaScript Arrays lesson to provide a list of days which are valid to check against.
<script type="text/javascript"> function whatDayIsIt(){ var ValidDays = new Array('Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'); ask_the_user = prompt('What day is it today?'); day_of_the_week_number = ValidDays.indexOf(ask_the_user); if(day_of_the_week_number<0){ alert('You have not entered a valid day. Please check and try again. Your day must start with a capital letter.'); whatDayIsIt(); } else{ if(ask_the_user=="Friday"){ alert('Yay! It is nearly the weekend!'); } else if (ask_the_user=="Saturday" || ask_the_user == "Sunday"){ alert('Enjoy the Weekend!'); } else{ day_of_the_week_number+=1; day_weekend_starts = 6; days_until_the_weekend = day_weekend_starts - day_of_the_week_number; alert('Do not fret! Only '+days_until_the_weekend+' days until the weekend!'); } } } </script>
If you look over the lesson on Arrays you will be able to work through this in a logical way. What we have done here is
- Ask the user for the day of the week: remember they could put anything in this box (not necessarily a day of the week!)
- We grab the number of that day from the Array (remember 'Monday' is the first item and is therefore index 0 – this is important!)
- Then we check if
day_of_the_week_numberis a valid number. If the text put in is not in our array, the
indexOf()function will return
-1, which is why we can use
if(day_of_the_week_number<0). We could have also used
if(day_of_the_week_number==-1). Both are valid.
- The last bit of code does a quick calculation to see if it isn't Friday, Saturday or Sunday, how many days are left until the weekend.
TL;DR – JavaScript Conditional Statements
Hopefully now you can look back at the epic card game from the last lesson and understand it a bit more. Using JavaScript Conditional Statements you can evaluate anything – whether it's the result of a sum, a
Math.random(), user input and, as we shall see next, form fields. The if-else method is one of the longest-standing programming logics. Make your own scripts using conditional statements. You could even extend the card game '21' with other conditions – such as adding a Joker in and making that end the game!
