Tuesday....

and I'm home sick! I can't even believe it

last night was fine, cooked dinner, did the treadmill then all of a sudden a headache and within 20 min or so my body started aching, throat swelled, nose stopped up. When they say "hit you like a brick wall".....this was def it.

so I'm home today and just laying around in the recliner.

but on a good note.....working out at the gym with Johnny is going GREAT and I have lost 4 lbs....Johnny boy has lost 7. This should be a gym night but guess I'll skip that and hopefully will feel well enough to at least do the treadmill. I don't want to lose my momentum.

what to post...

I don't know that I have anything to really post about ....let's see......

This feels good.....Johnny and I working out together at the gym. I'm really feeling good about this. Already after just a week and a half, my back is feeling so much better. For years and years, I have had to do my simple back stretching exercise just to get out of bed. I have not had to do those for the past few mornings....very cool.

This feels weird....Nicole and Maddox are moving out April 15th. Really, this is very good....I need to live the experience of having my grandson visit me, not live with me. It's time for it to be just Johnny and I and it's time for Nicole to make a home for her and Maddox. So just a lot of mixed up feelings as we will miss our little guy so much.

This worries me.....you know blogging is so funny. You don't "really" know the people whose blogs you follow but yet you do know them. And with me, I just feel like they are my friends that I'm checking up on. So it's quite upsetting to know that this family http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ is going through some very bad times. Please pray for little Stellan in his struggles.

This worries me too...my 401k.... but we won't talk about that. We'll only hope that the Dow will do good and my retirement will again be something I can actually do!!

And then the really good.......my pearls! Johnny boy gave me pearls for my birthday and they are awesome. I've been wanting some for awhile but hadn't mentioned them too much but he remembered......I think with a hint from Jacquelyn but still, he got them!! Such a wonderful man. And damn, I'm sure looking old but oh well, it happens to all of us!

later.........

It's my birthday weekend.....

Not just Sunday, but the whole weekend is my birthday......

and it starts tomorrow as I go out shopping for whatever I want

and then on Sunday when Johnny boy takes me to buy my new camera case

and again on Sunday when Johnny boy and the kids take me to Maggianos for my birthday dinner.

I love birthdays and I love presents!

And I'm turning 53 and proud of it!

Working out....

Johnny boy and I have joined a local gym around here, American Family.......and we're going to get back in shape.

we did orientation on Sunday, learned the cardio equipment last night and tonight went through our weights routine.

Our plan is to work out every other night and after I start feeling "broken" in, I'll take some yoga classes. We may go some nights in between and do cardio.

I think it's going to be good......might kill me, but it'll be good...haha!!

and I'm soooooo enjoying the NCAA tournament. Hated that VCU lost but they had an awesome season, should be very proud.
I'm still good in the brackets....
