April Foolishness...
I don't know why I used that title... this was all March stuff! LOL! Ohhhh well.I continue to be BUSY! Below you will see pictures of the room that used to be called Derek's ... and used to looked like this...
.... only it doesn't look like that anymore! NOW it looks like...
THIS!When I painted Derek's room it took me 6 coats of RED paint to get it to cover the white walls. When I painted this time, it took me 3 coats of primer to cover the red! BeWARE of red paint. I've said that before... I'm just reiterating the point! Here's two more views of the new room ...
Sooooo.... that is ONE thing that has been holding my interest lately -- oh yes - it's going to have my stationary bike in there too... and also a CRIB, and perhaps something for Luz to sleep on too! Trying to decide what ... day bed? Futon? I'm going to have to see how much room is left once the bike and the crib get in there! This is SUPPOSED to be my workout room! And speaking of working out...
YES! I'm STILL running! I am on week 4 of my Couch 2 5K program and have worked up to running for a whole 2.5 minutes at a time! WHOOO HOO! I know... it doesn't sound like much... but trust me... it's an eternity when a body is as out of shape as this body is! But it's getting in BETTER shape! I have finally lost ALL of the weight that I had regained after I had lost all that weight 3.5 years ago! And I have actually lost a few more pounds... so I am finally on my way to my goal again! YAY me!
Of course, I'm also kept busy by
Her.This was on a "game day" that she held at her house. We played 5 games that day - and inbetween each one we had to do an exercise! The games included bowling, wii pingpong, pictionary, hangman... and I forget what else! And the exercises included running sprints, galloping, CRAZY jumping jacks, running up and down stairs, and hopping on one foot! SHE came up with all this! LOL! It was fun!
We also had a shopping trip... for new SPRING clothes! For Luz, of course... none for me! And we had a trip to the ZOO! Went with my friend Nina and her 3 boys. Her oldest is spending the weekend with me this weekend. I'm fixin to go play darts with him in just a few minutes!
OH! And yesterday I took a day trip to Pennsylvania with a group from church. Dennis took the day off and stayed with his mom. We went up to the Sights & Sounds Theater -- this time to see the story of Joseph and his multi-colored coat. It was FABULOUS! Of course it was! We had lunch at an Amish Inn... the food of course was excellent... and of course I ate too much! But I let myself do these things on occasion and just accept a little gain should it happen. I thought for SURE I would gain after St. Patrick's Day - but I didn't! It was amazing! Perhaps I will be so blessed THIS time too! Tomorrow is weigh day so I will know then.
Luz's soccer season has started and she has two games each weekend, so that is one more thing that I'm involved with. I'm SO blessed that my grandbabies live so close and I CAN be involved in all their doings! And SOON Luz will be starting the horseback riding lessons I got her for Christmas! Oh bOy! We can't WAIT for that!
So you see... while I still LOVE you all dearly I am very busy LIVING it... and have a lot less time to type about it. I will be around sometime over the weekend (i hope) to catch up! Right now... I gotta play darts!
Oh! And one LAST thing...
My littlest heart-throb plays with TOYS now!
What a charmer!
HE doesn't keep me busy at all... no. Unh-unh. Not a bit!
Seeeeeeya!
