Good Morning Calif........

Good Morning Calif.......

I sure hope everyone had a great nights sleep. I sleep most of the night, but like always, I woke up and waiting for the time to get up. UGH!

On thrusday, I went and done 3 miles of jog/walk. This is a planned run.

(Wait, Steph and Lady D, my doc gave me the ok to do this run, and I had an appointment with him on Friday.)

He wanted to see how my back is truly doing. So after running my 3 miles I went in seen him on friday, he was very pleased to see that my back was just a tiny bit puffy.  This is a good thing for me, he says that I might be able to start running again, maybe not as much as I was doing. But only time with tell. Right now he is keeping me to under 5 miles, and only twice a week, and I need to ice it after each workout.

So what do you all have planned for the weekend? As for me, I am working. UGH! I seem to do that alot now. So I don't have much planned. But I do want to hear about your plans.

OK time to shower and start my morning. Coffee always help to start me moving. LOL. I love myself a great cup of coffee. (decaf of course)

May all your days be filled with smiles.

Good morning Lu and Cali,

Been up for a while, could not sleep!  Seems to be the norm lately, I can't stay awake-then wake up at 4-ugh!  Lots of things to do today.  Going to breakfast with the family, then to drop off our turkey and ham at the church for the Holiday baskets.  We need to get our tickets for the Monterrey Aquarium from AAA, then off to the Nor Cal lunch.  It is going to be a great day!

Hope you all enjoy your day as well!!

Good morning Lu and everyone,

I am glad to hear you back is doing much better.  Haven't seen you much on the board, I was wondering how you have been.  Hope your sister is doing good as well.

As for me, well, I have been up for about 2 1/2 hours...I don't why the heck I am up so early  on a Saturday, but I guess it is just that I like to get up before every one else and get things done around the house.  I have a busy day today....cleaning, grocery shopping and I need to stop by the eye place and get my glasses fixed..I'll tell you, I feel like the energygizer bunny that just wont stop...but it is always like this during this time of the year...but I can't fool anyone...I DO LOVE IT!!!

I know there is the Long Beach coffee and sure wish I was able to make it, but I will next month forsure...just to busy...hope everyone has a GREAT time...I'll miss you guys!!!

Well, I hear people moving around...

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Hugs, Michele

Good Morning,

I have been awake long before anyone has posted, just didn't want to turn on the computer and my new blanket would suffocate me so no more little tents.

I am glad Lu that you checked with your doctor, because the last thing you need is me and Steph on your ass!!!!  I am so happy that your back is cooperating with you and that you will once again do what you love in life.

As for me, the reason for being awake is a little tiny nerve in my foot decided this morning would be the day it decided to reconnect...holy crap!!!  One little tiny hard pinching has been horrible since 0430.  Anyway, I am going to dash, a busy day today, like it has been all week.  I have been out and about for 3 days out of the week, but more does my broken down recliner look damn good when I get home.  It will take time and I know it, but what else do I have but time.

Everyone have a wonderful Sat, I know I will!!

Good Morning Lu and Cali Guys and Gals,

I hope today is warmer for you where you are then where I am!  I am freezing!  Well today is the Long Beach Coffee and that is always a great time!  See you ladies and gents when we get there.  Other  than that not a lot going on really.  Kind a slow here on the ranch.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day and is doing something that makes them happy.

Good Morning Lu and Cali Friends,

Lu so glad you can get back to doing something you enjoy with your running, I think it's so important to honor your spirit with what makes you happy. You go girl,

Speaking of doing something I enjoy....

Today is the Nor Cal luncheon, I can't wait to see everyone and we get to discuss plans for next month's potluck which will be at our house.  If you can't be at today's luncheon and have an opinion on whether or not it should be a lunch or a dinner and whether or not we should do an ornament exchange or a white elephant, PM me!

Isla and I are hot and heavy into doing about 7 new pieces for the Gingerbread Village yard art for our front yard.  If you come to the potluck you'll see it, if you can't come I will take pics and post them.  Isla had never done it but she is having a ball helping me and she is SO artistic I just love her.  I am SO blessed with the BEST mother-in-law, we're like two peas in a pod!

Well that's about all from this neck of the woods.  Hope to see more folks at the luncheon but we're gonna have a blast with those who have signed up, I just know it.  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

Hugs,
Barb 

I gotta put my vote in for LUNCH (that's the only time I can make it).  Let me know.

Good Saturday morning to everyone. I'm currently sitting at the car dealership getting the car serviced. It is long over do. Just what I want to be doing at this hour. My bed was much warmer then it is outside. Got the Nor Cal lunch later today and not much else. Looking forward to some couch time. I have to work tomorrow so I will need to get ready for that. Hope everyone has a fantastic Saturday in whatever you have planned.

Hi Cali Crew,

I am glad I am back to posting on OH. I had a bout of depression and used all my energy to get to work and exercise. After that I didn't have much left for anything else. It's amazing how depression kills your energy.

Lu, I am so impressed at your ability to walk/jog long distances. I am up to around 3 miles of fast paced walking. I can't believe what a good workout that is!

Diane - Tell that foot nerve to behave! I hope that calms down for you.

Dolores - Have fun at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. That's an amazing place

I am running errands for my mom who is still recovering from surgery. She has two more weeks of not bending over, not carrying anything heavier than a few pounds and so on. The good thing is she is healing like she is supposed to. My husband and I have a date night scheduled for tonight. I am looking forward to it. I've been so busy with my job and working out I feel I haven't really talked to him for several weeks. I think we'll go out to dinner and just spend time walking downtown.

Have fun at the NorCal lunch. I hope I can attend one in the near future. When my mom is better and doesn't need my help so often, I can hopefully make it.

Take Care,

MsBlues

Good morning LuLu and Cali! Lu, glad that your back is doing better and that you're SLOWLY getting back to running. Yesterday we spent the day with the family in Yucaipa figuring out the finances to have my brother-in-law cremated. I also wrote up the obituary for the news paper and I will be doing the memorial cards. Then we went to dinner with friends at Millcreek in Mentone. It was really good. Millcreek is one of my favorite restaurants.

Today finds us grocery shopping and heading back to Yucaipa to be with the family. When we get home, I need to do some baking for the choir tomorrow.

Anyway, that's it for me. I hope everyone has a great day!
