Can you just see ME behind the desk greeting new patients into our office while using the Hawaii Chair?? People already think I’m nuts….. then there is the whole trying to write notes? or even type? Or really even trying to talk on the phone?!!? BUT 8 hours of Hawaii Chair exercise just think how skinny I’d be in a WEEK!!! So please? Can I have one? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee??? (Maybe I shouldn’t have talked bad about the chair before asking for one…. hummmm must re-think my begging strategies!)

I took the whole “Day of Rest” very seriously today! I hope you had a relaxing weekend too.

Hey I did it!! Yup, yup…. it didn’t rain all day!! But it was COLD!!! Making chili was a great idea. And of course, once again, my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I had 2 bowls of Chili with shredded cheese! Ummmm yea …. not such a great idea. It was SO GOOD!! But way too much, I’m uncomfortably full. Why can’t I just have one bowl like a good girl… wait about 10 minutes and see if I’m still hungry? WHY!? Seriously, wouldn’t that be a smart rule to follow? Yes, it would… maybe starting tomorrow?

So you know how if you wash your car it will rain?? Well, I’ve personally fixed California’s weather at least for the weekend!! Yup yup!! I have a crock-pot of homemade chili simmering away for tomorrow’s dinner. I have a pot of Connie’s Killer beans on the stove (both batches are for this weekend meals…. and some to freeze) both GREAT cold weather meals. So GOOD!! But both taste so much better if the simmer a long time the reheat them the next day. So tomorrow will be hot in California… and no one will want chili. Yup, that’s my prediction! I’m so GRUMPY!! G R U M P Y!!!…

We’ve gotten so much rain this week, I thought I would share what I’m looking at for my new mode of transportation. Okay, that’s it tonight since the power has started flickering I think I’ll unplug my laptop and go light some candles just in case!! (Selena don’t get all excited…. I’m not really buying a kayak so nooooo you can’t borrow it)

I think all this rain is lulling me to sleep!! I sat down with my computer, turned it on, was waiting ever so patiently for it to boot up and …….. next thing I know the laptop has made my lap unbearably hot and 40 minutes have gone by!? Say WHAT!?!? I just SAT DOWN!!!! I think that means it’s bed time!! Only I wish I wasn’t so comfy right here ….. right now…. cause it’s makin’ it really hard to want to get up to go to bed!

One of the smartest things I’ve done lately is to STOP buying my binge foods. Potato chips would be one of those! OH MAN!! If it wasn’t raining as hard as it is….(that and well, we all know after work I’m lazy…. okay maybe more lazy than the rain excuse) I would go to the store and bring home some Pringles!! So then I’m trying to find a picture of potato chips when I find THIS picture!!! Chocolate DIPPED POTATO CHIPS?!?! Ohhhhh MAN!! where IS my raincoat?!?! I’m gonna go do a workout video now before I talk myself into a car ride! Chocolate AND potato chips! Yur’ killin’ me…

It rained harder today than it has in California in a REALLY long time! (5 years! according to 10 News) It took longer to come home (Ohhhh okay so that is my way of saying I’m using my free pass to get out of using the Wii YourShape game MAN!! That didn’t take long did it!??!) In my defense I don’t get off work till 7pm on Monday’s. (I got a TON of excuses!! I’ve had LOTS of practice) Yesterday I worked out 30 minutes instead of the 15 I had promised. (That kinda makes today skip a little less ummmm not buyin’ it are ya?) I will work out…
