Thursday morning last week at 6:30am, I saw the lights on in Sportsboy's room and went in to see what he was up to. You will NOT believe this people...he was studying!!!!! He had notes and a science book spread out on his bed and he was studying for a science test. I just stared... Continue Reading →
American Idol Top 9
Dolly Parton coaches as they sing her songs. I wont know but about 2 or 3 of these since I am not a huge fan of country and I only know her more mainstream recordings. Brooke White - Jolene - Oh good, her hair is back to it's natural curls. Great song for her. She's... Continue Reading →
Opening Night 2008
\ This is where I was at 5:45. Sitting in the sun watching batting practice. This is where Sportsboy was. Prepping the field for the opening ceremonies. View from our seats. Traditional photo of Sportsboy with the scoreboard in the background on Opening Night. A kind usher volunteered to take this picture of us so... Continue Reading →
Move 2008 – Week 13 update
Ack! Almost forgot. No cute picture! No extended write up! Just the down and dirty: 3 aerobic workouts of 30 mins each (2 short of my goal, but oh well) and 3 arm workouts and 3 hula hoop sessions (goals met!) Arms feeling stronger. Did more reps of some this week than last. Energy levels... Continue Reading →
The songs of your life
I got this idea while writing a comment on a post by Dee, so if the first part of these seems familiar you know why. Whether you are totally into music, a musician yourself, a songwriter, or someone with no special connection to music other than you simply listen to it - I know you... Continue Reading →
Friday Political video
I think this will be my Friday theme until the election is over. I read so many sites all week and I often want to link to dozens of things here, but I also know that a lot of my readers don't get into this as much as I do. So instead I will post... Continue Reading →
American Idol Top 10
Watching on the DVR right now - so here we go Dee!! Theme = Songs from the year they were born. Uh, what's with Paula's outfit? The gloves? Someone needs to remind her it is in not 1988 perhaps? Ramiele Maluby - 1987 - Alone - Oh, great song for her IMHO. She can finally... Continue Reading →
Still breathing
Somehow. 720 lines, 720 forms. Piles everywhere. Match up and sort and match again. 5 years and 4000 lost. Trying to make sense of it all. Take notes, try to identify and prioritize and then SIMPLIFY. Why doesn't she just step aside and end this fighting? Need more time. But LL games and board meetings... Continue Reading →
Move 2008 – Week 12 update
Back on the moving track! Aerobics fell short - only 2 pedal workouts totaling 60 mins. However, my full body toning workouts went very well. I used the hula hoop twice and the arms weights three times and the last two I really nailed the routine. I pretty much duplicated the kinds of movements that... Continue Reading →
Dedication
Today was the Spring 08 Miracle League Opening Day. I signed SportsBoy up knowing he could only be there for a few of the games, but also knowing that the league allowed that and they try to get buddies per team so that there is always one per player. First day and we of course... Continue Reading →
