I am going to slow 'er down and do what I can. You know what you can do, don't you, miss whisperer LOL!
I do that with books, bookaholic here, buy them and tuck them away and then one day I know it is time to read it!

Being on go-go-go constantly is pretty freaking exhausting, huh? There comes a time when common sense has to come into the picture. Or not.

Yeah, but there are also times where I sit on my butt forever, too. Come winter, I'm an utter slug! Moderation has never been one of my strong points. LOL

You'll be able to directly see how much stronger you've gotten since you started!

Yep, I'm just needing something to keep my momentum up for now and try to maintain as much as I can. Even if I don't make any gains, that's cool. I can use it as a time to perfect my form on the basic moves. (Squats =
)

Ha! I was just doing that with spoons when my grandparents came through and took us all out for dinner last week! The kids and I had spoons hanging (well, falling anyway) from various body parts and hubby and the kids were blowing straw wrappers at each other across the tables, etc. The waitresses and my grandparents were just rolling their eyes at us.
Growing up, my mom could burp repeatedly at her whim. My dad could do armpit farts. I could do collarbone pit farts. We made a lively and lovely band, I tell you!

Mine's made it to the hotel in Baton Rouge finally, with a few delays. He's so incredibly map-challenged, it's scary! LOL And then he locked his keys in his truck once he got to the motel. Doh!

I know it's different than traveling altogether, but when he is here through the week, he is sleeping. We literally pass each other as I am picking up kids from school and heading home, he is driving to work. Anyways, didn't mean to ramble in your log.  |
Thanks! Yep, I know the feeling. My hubby has worked 12-16 hour days, 7 days a week, for years now. Well, until the start of this year when the economy bombed. He's either never here or around too much! LOL
Ramble on! It's usually me doing the rambling so I'm happy to have co-ramblers!
