it is still "almost" set up, Ellie, we still need to get the cables and pulleys attached. but close, and yes, I am planning to have him help me. In fact we discussed it this weekend when he made that comment, I told him it wasnt my intent and that I needed and intended to get back to it, he said we need to get finished in the basement so I can workout there too (he uses free weights now...big ones I'm scared to death of)...I mentioned I was counting on and looking forward to him helping me, and he said he would show me how...now, mind you he's said be my trainer before, so I'm hoping that will still be part of the deal. I think his encouragement would be very helpful.
I need to get back to doing my aerobics tapes as well, and they help pretty fast.
I did hear from D just a bit ago, she and SIL both accepted jobs today, it's a paycut from what they're making now, but at least something to get them started when they get back here. and her comment was "now I want my house"....so, maybe they will be out on their own quickly (I hope!)
