Hi, it's quite nice out right now in the 70's with a little breeze.

Had a horrible night. Had my GD here for the night and she got sick and I ended up bringing her to the ER at midnight. Long story short she's alright and home with her mom but grandma is very tired and drained today.

Nomless I hope you love your sheets, like I said I have 3 sets and no pilling. I only airdry them though and no fabric softener or dryer sheets.

I"m just going to take it slow today, watch some movies and relax...

Here's to a good month everyone!

Bopper, thank you for starting a new month.

I'm sorry you had a scary night including a trip to ER. Thank goodness DGD is OK. You've earned a day of rest. Take it easy today.

I ordered the gray sheets with the cardinals and holly branches. I like the pattern.

I did 60 min in the bike today. It felt good.

Happy weekend to all.

Hi I been riding the bike on and off all day while I prepare dinner. Hubby will be home tonight so I wanted a nice dinner waiting for him.

Nomless thank you. It was very scary, but she's doing better now. I hope you love your sheets, I really do love mine.

Yesterday for me was a total washout. I just chilled and watched Hallmark movies.

Today is very cloudy and every once in a while we get a thunder shower. Worse storms are supposed to be coming though.

I've been looking at my Fall decor...I know, I am not trying to push summer away it's just Fall is my favorite time of year.

Enjoy your day!

Hi Everyone!

Can't believe it is August. We waited so long for summer.

Bopper- I am laughing. I know you love your fall decorating and I know you start very early cos you can't wait. You are not alone- my grocery store had candy corn 2 weeks ago and I HAD to buy some because they will be gone soon! So the stores are with you.

I am glad your GD is OK. ER visits are never fun nor are they ever quick.

Nomless- yeah, we are like a bunch of sisters so we do have our moments and we can be catty. We have worked together for so long that you just go with it, like a relative, you know they are not going to change. But we do pitch in for each other. We always know what kind of day we will have by who is working- that day, those personalities set the tone. But it is all good.

We have a porcupine that lives somewhere in my yard. Last year he was up a tree- didn't know he could do that. Don't see him a lot but if he is out it is usually at dusk.

I could not justify sitting on the couch to watch the race cos it so nice out so I am out on the porch, I have the window open and the race on loudly. I compromised.

Hi patty, cater , skylark and friends

Good Monday morning,it's cooler here after a HOT windy day and stormy night.

Bopper, so glad your Granddaughter is ok. I can really imagine how stressful that would be. Is she the one that is 9? My younger Granddaughter is 9. She's coming tomorrow to stay a few days her mother has a business trip to Tx. She and her Dad (our son) were here the other week so we're getting lots of time with her. Thanks for starting August off. Time RACING by for me.

Nomless, did you have the X bike from HSN? I want to look into a stationary bike. My brother has a recumbant bike...huge and costs a fortune. Not for me.

Tony14, we don't have porcupines around here, love to see one in "the wild."

Well, I should snap Angie on her leash for our walk. Hope everyone here has a nice (and cool) week.

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

Hi, Tony and Bopper, have a good week.

I did 30 min on the bike. Kind of tired today. Skylark, Bopper has the X bike. I use the recumbent bike in the apt. complex workout room. Lots of people there again today. I like it better when I'm there alone.

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

bopper — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 23:58:21 GMT

Hi, all I didn't feel good all night. Tummy felt sick so today was kind of slow but I did get in my 10,000 steps by riding my X bike . I just go 5 miles here and there to be active throughout the day. I really like it skylark...

Tony I don't blame you for wanting to sit outside. I feel like that watching all this baseball, like I"m wasting my day but I manage! I love Fall, you are right on sista. Tomorrow is all fall decorating so I really want to watch. I don't need anything because I have no room for stuff, even if it's nice I have to have a place for it and my small house doesn't allow a lot but I still enjoy watching.

Thank you in regards to my GD. Yes she is 9 1/2, and I think I held it together pretty well until she was gone with her mom, then I came home and cried....

Well better take Logan outside, I'm getting the Stink Eye! Hahaha.

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I did do chalean.

Today I was helping DH - we are putting in a rock stairway- lots of tractor work, ropes, tugging and pushing . I am counting that as a workout, tho he did more than I did!

Warm day but not really muggy. We get a few thunder storms tomorrow and then nice , low humidity days.

Bopper- I hope you are feeling better. Have you had your stomach checked- you seem to get these little upsets.

Nomless- definitely why I have not joined a gym. Don't want to be around people!! Are you enjoying your "vacation"- doing things and getting stuff done?

skylark- I am in the boonies. We have lots of deer, turkey, there have been bears but I haven't seen one, moose in my yard I have, owls ....

Hi patty and cater!!

Enjoy tomorrow!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

bopper — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:16:50 GMT

Hi all, very muggy here today. Did the treadmill while watching these lovely Fall programs. I love the lanterns today.

Tony It's nothing other than some anxiety from what happened over the weekend. Haven't had a stomach issue for a long time. Thank you though. Some people just have nervous stomachs.

You have lots of work ahead of you but it will look really nice when you are done and that is a workout for sure!

Nomless hope you have a good day today. I may put a few miles on my Xbike too.

Skylark what do you have going today?

Patty waving to you and Lucy

Cater are you lurking around here?

Oops now it's raining....kind of a day to do some baking I think .

Have a good day all!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

nomless — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 20:41:41 GMT

Bopper, I hope you're feeling better. Take it easy. I hope DGD is doing OK too.

Hi, Tony, good for you doing Chaean. I've been thinking about that. I really need to start doing resistance training again, and that would be a god place to start. Again. Sigh. Yes, I'm enjoying vacation, lol. I have 't started projects like cleaning closets, but I've tackled things that require thought and hard decisions....like, really need to do something about a will. Ugh.

I did the bike. People in the workout room with no headsets and no TV on. Yikes, how can they stand it? I didn't turn on the TV, felt I should honor their wishes, but wow, it makes me crazy to do cardio with nothing to engage my attention. Couldn't wait to get outta there!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

bopper — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 15:08:59 GMT

Morning, a beautiful 52 here when I woke up, window open and birds singing...Even heard the donkey across the road.

Just came in from a 4 mile walk. So nice out and refreshing.

I am watching the fitbit TSV although I have the Fitbit One...I like mine but I am always interested in gadgets hahah

Nomless glad you are enjoying your time off and getting some organization done. We all need to do that.

My friend is having a rummage sale this weekend and I'm putting some things in it so have to finish my pricing and see if I have anymore stuff to add. Another good way to de-clutter.

Enjoy your day everyone!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

nomless — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 19:39:45 GMT

Hi Bopper, how nice to have a cool day. I'm glad you're feeling better. Have fun with the garage sale this weekend. I have a bunch of stuff ready for a sale and am waiting for some friend, any friend, to have a sale. It's been over a year and no one has had one! I'm tired of the clutter in my bedroom and sometimes think about just donating the stuff, but some of it is too good to donate. A new quilt set from Pottery Barn, for example. It's never been out of the package. A gift I received but I don't like the colors. I might end up donating it all anyway, in the end.

I got my hair cut this morning then came home and did the bike. Need to do some cleaning now.

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

bopper — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:14:26 GMT

Morning, just came in from walking and did the bike also. Will do more on the bike throughout the day. it's still in the 60's here so I love it.

Nomless I love getting my hair cut. I find it so relaxing especially when she scrubs your head. Yup getting more rummage sale stuff out. Brought a load yesterday and seeing if I can find anything else.

Not much else on my end so have a good day!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

tony14smoke — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 23:13:45 GMT

Hi Everyone!

bopper- I am glad your stomach is a simple thing. I am enjoying cooler weather, too. Don't miss thy muggyness. I thought about baking also but knew I'd be having ice cream.

Nomless- I could not do bike without a tv either. I used to do Leslie Sansone with picure in picture- had a split screen so I could watch something good while following along with her. I like chalean a lot,too but I wish she had a new round of workouts.

I invite you to my town, we are having a town wide yard sale. I will set up a table for you.

We did wills and health care proxies years ago. My friend manages a law office. She did papers for us and for herself and her husband. She brought them over and I asked him if had his money all set cos he was leaving it all to me! The secretary messed up but good thing it was quickly fixed!

Skylark- I was thinking of you as I read my local paper. The police log reported a cow walking down a road, a German shepherd in a yard and a fox running around..... Yup, big doings here!

Hi Patty, Hi Cater!!

See ya!!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

bopper — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 14:52:57 GMT

Hi, Happy Friday! It's so muggy here, not hot but muggy. I did an hour on my Proform X bike at a good clip with goog tension so I felt a did a gooe workout. Hair was dripping and I have short hair!

Tony I heard a donkey yesterday morning, and I love it. Much rather hear that than horns honking and traffic. Yes wer're right in the prime of things too hahha.

Nomless It's the weekend! Anything going on? How is the collie and kitties at your friends house? Did you happen to get the Luminara lantern the other day? I so wanted the large one but couldn't justify that much money when we are scraping by.

Skylark are you walking today? It's so hot everywhere, our poor animals are not enjoying it either.

I'm watching Fashion day but the prices are so high and then if you have to send it back you have to pay for return shipping. It adds up with tax and shipping. Doing more local shopping.

Okay kids, enjoy your day!

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

nomless — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 17:07:30 GMT

Tony, I wish I could come to your town's yard sale! LOL. I agree, I would love a Chalean 2. I like Chalean a lot and would love another set of workouts.

Bopper, no, I didn't buyy any decor items, but I watched a few of the shows. Fun. I did buy the set of Artis brushes that folks are raving about on the Beauty forum. I watched several YouTube reviews and these do seem to be game changers re: makeup application. They're expensive so they'd better be great.

I did the bike yesterday and today (forgot to post yesterday) and now am doing some cleaning. I've ingored cleaning the past few weeks, so it's time to get it done. I wish things would stay clean for days instead of hours!

Hi everyone! Oh my word, it's been so long since I've been here, I couldn't remember how to sign on! I still don't like it but when you don't use it, you won't get used to it!

nomless....any job bites? There's too many posts to read through, I'll try and get caught up later. Been thinking about you and prayed for you this morning so thought I'd check-in.

Was up in PA last week, ds is having some heart issues. They think it may be a valve problem but are ordering a few tests for him first before just prescribing a beta-blocker. He just started his new job and is in orientation so no time off. DH was travelling this past week but arrived back at the "camp" Friday night...just in time for a big problem.

While I'm here...what did I do yesterday, my mind is blank...lol. Oh....SPIN, running, walking, and biking. The biking was not fun, over 30mph winds....ugh. My gf and I were supposed to walk at the Botanical Gardens but it was raining yesterday morning. I walked 10 with her on Wed and 10 with another gf on Thursday plus went with Lucy and mowed the grass so my feet were aching and no dh to rub them.

Lucy and I saw Hummingbirds yesterday(3 just on the golf course), an eagle, Green Heron, ducks, 2 turtles, Herons, Osprey, and the stinky geese.

Have a busy week ahead...baby shower, cat scan, Ladies paint party, etc. Hope everyone has a great week!!

Waving to Tony, bopper, cater, and anyone else driving by.

Good morning everyone, our little Granddaughter left last evening. We packed alot into her 3 day visit. She is crazy about dogs and we did take Angie for a mile every day. I'm amazed how smart 9 year olds are these days.

Tony14 love the local news story about the fox and German Shepherd running around. Chicago news is extremely depressing for the most part.

peppermintpatty hope your sons tests come out ok.

nomless Maybe you could regift the the quilt? Somebody would probably love it.

Bopper how did the rummage sale go? It's so good to get rid of unneeded "stuff" I follow less is more when it comes to "stuff." DH is a collector of many things so it's good I'm a minimalist lol

Have a nice Sunday.

Re: Welcome to the August Exercise Thread

nomless — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 22:35:27 GMT

Hi, Patty, it's great to see you. Miss you! Prayers that DS is ok. He doesn't need another issue to deal with. Also hope DH's problems subside. How kindopf you to think about me and the job situation. I do appreciate your prayers. I'm working on arranging a part-time job with a former boss. I want part-time, so I'm good with that. Nothing is firmed up yet, however. Things move so slowly. I'm doing my best to take it one day at a time and to avoid panic, lol. Some nights sleep all night, but others I'm awake all night. At least it doesn't matter so much now whenI can't sleep.

Skylark, it sounds like you had a fin and busy time with DGD. Now you cab get some rest!

Hi, Bopper,I hope you had fun at the sale.

I did the bike uestersay and took today off. I made a grocery list for tomorrow's trek to the store,. I think I'll make tacos. I've been eating lots of bad food. It's tome to get back on track. Tacos aren't totally on track, but will be a little better than all the frozen food I've been eating.
