HI Pam, Hi Ellie....

BAM...right on the nose Ellie! ...That's the real deal, feeling pressured about MY time on here etc. We HAVE the lap top, but for some reason the remote internet hook up won't work. CJ's called a few trouble-shooter/help-line guys but nothing so far.

Yeah, I don't want to send the message that I resent his educational goals. PLUS he did call some guys to haul away most of the detritus from our yard. They're coming tomorrow!!!

And Pam...never be jealous of my "energy"...there are weeks, months, when it's all I can do to drag myself out of bed, then watch T.V. all evening!

Just having some pretty decent "spurts" of motivation of late. Gee maybe it's the extra 15 pounds?

It's just been such lovely weather here, that I crave "outdoor" time and find myself out in the yard, where there's always PLENTY to do!

Cj's out buying groceries for dinner...pasta sauce time again...vino of course. Gee, wonder where those extra pounds came from????

You know what, though? I bitch and moan about the weight, but I am still doing my full workouts, and my upper body is pretty nicely toned. Legs are pretty good too (if you ignore the upper inner thighs)....it's that damn thickening middle, I heard rumours that this happens perimenepausally...I don't like it!!!

All in all...All is well!

Shiny
