I hope all the people that celebrated Thanksgiving this weekend had a nice one. Mine was extremely busy. I wasn't sitting around browsing web directories or even out in the stores doing Black Friday shopping. We visited both our families on Thursday and Friday. Then Saturday was filled with our normal Saturday classes. (I have Zumba and my daughter has swimming.) Then there were errands to be run. It was tiring! And it doesn't look like it will get any better until after the holidays. December is such an exhausting month.
Favorite Friday
I think this may be my newest obsession!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Zumba results
Since I was so sick last week, I completely forgot to post the results of my 6-week (plus one class) Zumba "diet." In the seven weeks that I cut high fructose corn syrup out of my diet and went to Zumba class once a week, I lost a total of 12 1/2 pounds. Granted, I probably gained a few of those back last week when I spent the entire week zombified on the couch. However, I have now upped my exercise regimen to two Zumba classes per week and I walk on the treadmill at work when I have some spare time at lunch. (That usually ends up to be about 15 minutes per day, four days per week.) I'm still trying to keep the HFCS out of my food. With any luck, I'll be down a total of 20 pounds by the end of the year. No need for the best weight loss pills for women for me! Good ol' exercise will do the trick. I'll be sure to give you another update at the end of the year.
Happy Birthday To Me
I meant to post something yesterday. Then I got busy and forgot. I do have a few things to talk about but it won't be today. Why? Because today is my birthday! So let's all celebrate with drinks and cake!
Favorite Friday
I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been sick all week. No dance class, no Zumba...not even any video games. But I'm on my way back to 100%. With any luck, I'll be back to my awesome self by Monday. Until then, here is the trailer for the new Harry Potter movie that just opened.
Favorite Friday
Rehab
I don't know if I've talked about this here before. My father is an alcoholic. He has been my entire life. So I always have mixed feelings when I hear about someone going into rehab for alcohol detox. On one hand, it has worked for a lot of people. On the other hand, I've watched my father fail time and time again in rehab. It feels like it's such a waste of time and money. I guess I should try to be more supportive and open minded to the whole experience. It has to do some good for someone, right?
Christmas postcards
Every year I think about sending out Christmas cards. Every year I suck and never get around to it. This year I was thinking about doing something different. Instead of doing cards, I could do some custom postcard printing. I'll have to look into the cost of that though. But it might be interesting, right? Or would that be too impersonal? ACK!
Talk about a mess
My mother recently had new hardwood floors put in her house. It goes from the front door through to the back door. That includes the foyer, a powder room, and the dining room. Unfortunately, when the men put the flooring in the bathroom, they messed up the toilet installation. As a result, water has been leaking from under the toilet. I'm not sure how much damage has been done but I know that it leaked into the crawlspace in her basement. I can just imagine what a mess it will be cleaning it all up.
