Good morning, everyone!

It was 18 degrees here this morning!!  I have my skechers boots on this morning and they are really warm.  I actually use them as slippers in the winter.  The only thing I like about it getting cold is that I sleep much better.  I can't do the polar fleece sheets though.  Two issues--I get too hot and they produce so much static that I am constantly electrocuting myself, which is bad enough in the winter.  I'm ready to set up my humidifier for the winter though.

I was so tired when I got up this morning I think I could have rolled over and gone back to sleep!

Yesterday in Zumba, I had several people ask me when I was going to sub again!  I have hit my goal--people like me as much as our regular teacher!

Today is weight training with my favorite trainer and I have a massage scheduled at 4, which I really need!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!  I have 13 days before my cruise!

@DrKelli  Congratulations!  What a great compliment.

Good morning everyone!  Slept really good last night considering my hubby is out of town.  I turned the heat downtown to 68 and got out a heavier blanket.  

We've been invaded by fruit flies and I'm hoping that I can starve/freeze them out while hubby is gone.  He keeps leaving food for them, leaves the wet dish towel in the sink, leaves his coffee cup around with coffee in it.  I've been on him about his sloppiness since we got married but to not much avail.  I almost don't say anything anymore but I stopped going behind him cleaning years ago thinking that would change him but it didn't.  But I don't want those bugs flying around while my grandbaby is here.  Oh, no garbage is left in the house and dishes are washed and dried as I use them.

For two weeks I've tried the vinegar, dish soap which seemed to help but definitely not eliminate them.  This morning, I got up (had to turn that heat up a little, lol), went to the kitchen and I only saw one.  I know they are around but I hope some died.  Research said that cool temperatures slow them down and they die quicker.  When I leave this morning, I'm gonna turn the heat back down.

Walking and Zumba is on the agenda this morning.  At Thursday's Zumba class, we did  routine to thriller that was close to the video....I loved it.  We'll probably do it this morning, too.  It's been a Thriller week, lol.  Have a great day everybody.

It's supposed to rain all day here so I guess it's a rest day.  Or maybe a shopping day.  All this talk of blankets has me itching for a BB&B run again with my coupon.  

Got my glasses last night and I am just fine with progressives.  If I turn my head too fast I kind of go into a warp but they said the blurriness will take about a week to get my brain up to speed.  I love them so far.  Finally got my cat eyes.  

I'd like to add to @DrKelli's tool report.  I thought about you last night.  I drive a small car and WITHOUT FAIL huge big cars and trucks LOVE to park next to me.  I can't see people!  

And I park out of the way and walk just to avoid it.  Do you think that helps?  Um, no.

Last night I came out of Ulta and a Hummer had parked next to me.  Really?  50 other parking spaces and you have to park next to a Fiat.  Why?  

Turkeys!

Classic definition of a tool. One time in my parking garage, a big dodge truck parked literally inches away from the drivers side door. I had to get in on the passenger side and crawl over the console and I’m almost 6 feet tall. It wasn’t pretty.

Totally  bored of the treadmill.  Did 2mi/24.30min.

Going to do the finishing touches on our outside Halloween decor.  Not into it this year as the pool has been the priority.  Supposed to put the blue pebble on Monday and Tuesday and fill er up.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Happy Saturday, it's sleeting here and in the 30's.  I did sleep good on my new Velvet loft sheets, I do wish the cream was more Ivory though, I see yellow in them but not critical.  

I did 40 on treadmill and 30 on bike this morning, then went outside to bring in some wood.  Blowing and raining/ sleeting and Logan is like " hey waz up", dinking around while I just want to go inside....

foxxie I understand your frustration with hubby, mine isn't much better.  There is a closet in the hall and his coat ends up on the kitchen chair al the time...but that being said after what we went through I welcome seeing the coat there but truthfully I know where you are coming from too.  Fruit flies, we had them also.  I used the vinegar trick too and it works pretty well.    They are a royal pain though.  

Dr.Kelli and Laura I hear ya on the parking.   I was the only one in a row at the grocery store and a SUV parks right next to me and I hardly could open my door and the whole row was empty.  What is wrong with people.  I was like "seriously"....

MickD, the pool sounds pretty inviting right about now when we are in winter mode!

Oh Dr.Kelli do you get that horrible white dust from the humidifer?   My bedroom last Spring was horrible, the walls had a film of white dust, it even got into my closet and sat on the shoulders of the clothes.  I can't not use one though or I get a sore throat from the dryness.  I am on a well though so it's maybe my hard water and I'm not buying water for that thing..  It is what it is I guess.   We are trying to find flights to Denver now in December, my deal is I'm afraid to fly number 1, and number 2 I can't get a direct flight out of here and the layover in Detroit was 4.5 hours, uggggggggggg.  My son said he'd figure it out for us so we are waiting.   I know I"m terrible I don't even want to go.   

Don't get me wrong I want to see the baby but I don't want to fly....and I hate boarding my dog.   Creates anxiety for me but we have nobody to stay here that I trust and I'm weird about that anyways, that would create anxiety for me too unless it was my other son or my sister and both work full time and wouldn't do it anyways.  

Made Taco soup and had some for lunch, it's a good soup day here today.

Have a great day everyone, nomless how ya doing?

Happy Sunday Funday!    Been taking advantage of our only day of no rain, so wet leaves raked and yard work done for today.  3 hours outside in 30 degrees with we leaves isn't ideal but it had to be done.   Deck had snow on it this morning but it's melted now.  The rest of the week said rain/sleet/snow....so it was now or next Spring!

Watched my granddaughter for a while while son cut trees out of his yard.   We used sidewalk chalk and drew on the driveway.  She's in her pink snowsuit and boots, so cute.   Then when I said grandma had to go home now she says "no, and shakes her head no, and says miss you"   Okay my heart is melting now !!!  She's only 1 1/2, and so cute!

Football now and World Series tonight, pork roast in crockpot with potatos and carrots, baked apples for dessert.  House smells devine!

Have a great rest of your day!

Bopper, so how do you like the velvet sheets? I hope you like them.

Foxxie, good luck with the fruit flies. Ugh.

DrKelli, yay that your Zumba classes are popular.

Laura, yay that you like your glasses. I love progressives. You'll get used to it.

Hi, Mick, happy Sunday!

Cold here, too. Will need to put on the velvet sheets soon.

I'm trying to watch HSN Jay King but for the past 4 days or so, audio and video are put of sync. It's making me nuts. All other channels are ok. I don't know if the problem is on HSN's side or cable provider side, but I hope it gets fixed. Ugh.

Good morning everyone.  @bopper, I guess the November thread there just to be ready?    Since I'm not sure, I'll just post here since it's still October, lol.  I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.

I sort of forgot to post here yesterday but not really.  My intent yesterday morning was to log on and post here because this is my first stop.  I couldn't get on for the longest time.  I kept coming back to try and all I could do was read post, not type a post.  When I finally got on, it was jus about time to go to my WW class.  

Still holding on to 136 lbs, btw, but I could have been at goal or almost anyway.  For my height by WW rules, I should be 128 or below.  I have a doctors appt this week so I'm going to ask for a note saying 130 is good for me.  I'd be satisfied with that.  Not trying to impress others.

Fruit flies are almost gone but I almost frozen myself turning the thermostat down Friday and Saturday night, lol.  I got up in the middle of the night Saturday to turn it up and it only helped a little.  All I could think of was how the last time we had the furnace repaired, the guy said it was only a band aid.  So now I'm thinking my little grandbaby might be cold as well as having fruit flies in her little face.  Lord!  Hubby came home while I was at my meeting, turned the furnace off and reset it.  We got heat!  

My husband redeemed himself, lol.  @bopper, you are oh so right.  We have to be thankful for our husbands even with their bad habits.  That's one trait I do have....to ignore the bad stuff most of the time and be thankful for him, bad habits and all.  If I think really, really hard, I'm sure I have some bad habits, too, lol (wink, wink).

Speaking of my granddaughter, they made the move from Hawaii to Las Vegas on the 28th, Friday.  They've already taken a road trip to San Diego to see my other son who is the twin.  My dil said that my grandbaby kept looking back and forth between her father and uncle as if she was confused.  They are identical.  Oh I wish I could have seen that, lol.

Ok, enough babbling, lol.  Walking, senior cardio and a strength & motion this morning.  Have a great day.
