It's hard to believe that a week ago we were in the midst of very wintery weather with a big dump of heavy wet snow and temperatures just below freezing. Today, we set a new record high for May 6th of 31 C or 87.8 F. Last Monday I didn't walk Maggie because of poor visibility and slippery road conditions. Today we didn't walk because it was too hot ( Read more... )

It's great that the snow is melting and we are having more spring like temperatures but I'll be very thankful when it's over. Maggie drags in sand and snow. When the snow melts we have muddy puddles everywhere. Worse, she shakes and there is muddy water splattered on the walls, doors, cupboards, as well as the washing machine and fridge. I must ( Read more... )

It's been a long long time since I last used this icon. After we moved out to our acreage I pretty much stopped going to Curves. There always seemed to be so much to do and it was just too easy to not go. After I injured my knee in January I decided to stop wasting my money and canceled my Curves membership ( Read more... )

Today, thankfully, I am not dizzy. My cough continues. It doesn't hurt when I cough anymore but my back is sore from all of the coughing I've been doing ( Read more... )

I spent the day cleaning. I'm not the most dedicated housekeeper and with Hubby's rotating shift things rarely get done the same day every week - no schedule. Now that the house is clean and tidy top to bottom I'm going to work out a schedule and stick with it regardless of whether Hubby is home or not ( Read more... )

Today after making the three cards I mentioned yesterday I headed out to our new home. I took down the painters tape from the kitchen and the dining area. Except for all the stuff piled on the counters it looks pretty good.

So I didn't paint today. In the morning I made seven cards. (May is a popular month) I thought I had everything covered but I realized that I have another three to make. I guess I'll be busy in my craft room again tomorrow. (after I do some more painting at our new home) This afternoon I vacuumed the living room, dining room and our bedroom ( Read more... )

I slept like a rock last night and probably will again tonight. I've had a busy day. I went for a workout at Curves. I don't remember when I last went but it had been a while and it was certainly evident by the analysis of today workout by Curves Smart. I scored below my expected workout level on all machines ( Read more... )

The weather has improved since this morning. It has stopped snowing/raining and most of the snow we got has melted. It's still windy but that is helping to dry things up a bit ( Read more... )

Wellllll, so much for limpuu. This batch didn't rise properly. First too much, now too little. I'm not destined to enjoy limpuu this year. Probably a good thing; I don't need add to the "temptation" level. *sigh ( Read more... )
