ReplyDeleteGood to see you figured out the blog thing. This is pretty cool. Also glad to see it raining there, just like here;) Keep it up, the burning should start to go down tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI get excited everytime I see a new post.. It's always fun to hear what you're doing and how you're feeling. How is your roomate taking everything? Do you guys work out together? I love that you put pictures up!! That's awesome! I went to dinner with dad last night and had a blast! I originally invited him over for some old school hamburger helper, but you'll be happy to know he declined.. so we went out. haha.. Im so proud of you! Keep up the good work! Love and miss you!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work,Im getting ready to go work out. Talking to Dino, he is stuck in traffic.
ReplyDeleteHe says "walk by the water, gators make you walk faster!" Love you
Have a great day and night.
So glad you said something about leaving comments... I never even noticed this spot!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're killing that "little guy". Can you tell me how you do it so I can kill mine too?!? Just need to make it look like an accident.... not a homicide, lol.
Great to hear about all the cool thinks you're doing! So inspiring! I am working out harder too, just thinking about you and what you get to do there... So I'm sore too, sista!
Ps. Wasn't Biggest Loser great? So proud of MIggy (who WAS NOT my favorite person...), it just goes to show that there truly is no excuse for not working out.... not even major surgery. If we want it-we gotta TAKE IT!!!!!!!!
XOXO!
Okay... things, not thinks... sheesh.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm watching Julie & Julia with the blogging. It is addictive. Keep it coming. Mom
ReplyDeleteYAY for you
