Hello Watulans!
MIA again, I know. When I get the urge---rarely---to do some organizing/decluttering it's best I follow it until it stops. And it has, sort of.
Along with the attic, we've collected all our old cell phones and other cords/cables/electronic accessories to either donate or recycle. It took me most of a day to match charging cords with the associated phone! Apparently Verizon takes old phones and donates them to women's shelters so they will go there. Best Buy takes cables and old electronics, so they are going next. That project is almost done, so yay!
I'm not a big NBA fan, but hockey, anyone? We watched the crazy Rangers-Pens game with the triple overtime finish. Good stuff! Won't mention last night's loss. It's a great series---very evenly matched. DH roots for the Blues so we have alternate nights of hockey, along with baseball.
Chele, sending hugs. I love your annual tradition of honoring Isabella and I'm so sorry you hurt your foot. I'm sure it must get discouraging for you.
Oh, I have done the Anna workout you mentioned that is "low impact" no jumps, etc. IIRC she does the "inch worm" which is low impact but I don't feel it's something I should do so I had to do something else on the fly. I'm sure you've learned like I'm learning that no jumping doesn't mean I should do it. Other than that, I liked the workout as I like Anna.
Chele, you should be so proud of your daughter--I'm sure you are. She sounds like a genuinely kind and generous person, and that's a treasure in this world.
I'm so sorry you can't make the trip to take the tour with her.
manleym, funny that you mentioned the shout out in the CL I watched live. I was thinking about CD and her constant talking to the viewers. It seems that CD's viewers can talk to her during the actual workout, though. I don't see how she could focus on the workout and answering people at the same time. I haven't done a CD workout in awhile. I have to be in the right mood to tolerate the chatter.
TweenerW, I hope you like your Hokas! DH swears by his Bondi 7. Pricey, but he wears them all the time now and notices a huge difference when he wears his other shoes. Oh, and I remember Outlander and it has been on my list to watch. And if you like sci fi type shows, have you watched Resident Alien?? It's quirky and snarky with an infusion of sarcasm, so right up my alley (and maybe yours?) It's on the Sci Fi network--the second season just wrapped up.
bee, so I did the CL you mentioned to see Cray Cray Smiling Woman and there she is. I think the man is her husband or significant other as he was with her in one of the other Lives. Since she wasn't in the front row, she definitely wasn't as noticeable with her smile as she was in the one I originally posted about. I don't really think she is Cathe's "type" for a DVD. She does have great form and clearly is in good shape.
bee, oh, and enjoy your trip! It sounds like a whirlwind but it will be good to see your son.
Kate, add me to the list of those who love that pic of you with the kids! As always, you are rocking your workouts. How is Justin doing?
FN1, sure wish you were closer, you could have a barbell from me. I have two, and honestly I don't know how barbell work will fit into my workout future. I need to go back and do some of the Cathe Lives that use the barbell and substitute dumbbells. From what you say, you get a great workout that way!
horusosiris, good to see you! Glad you are enjoying the Iron workouts with Caroline. I thought about you and your family's baseball season tickets as my niece was at the Red Sox game yesterday and Ohtani set a record! Funny she texted me a picture from Fenway and I responded with a curse since I was so envious that she was there and got to see Ohtani! She is developing a love of baseball from when my husband and I took her to a Giants game when we visited her. She really likes the relaxed atmosphere of the sport and says it's a great place to get away for awhile.
lavna, hope all is okay and you are doing well!
Kim, thinking of you and hope all is okay! If you are on a fun vacation, good for you!
Waves to all!
