Sun 3 Jan

When I woke up this morning, I was sure it was Monday. This long weekend with nothing really scheduled feels really strange. I plan to try hard to enjoy an extra day of leisure today as I'm sure it will be awhile before it happens again.

I have three new Jane Fonda tapes in the mail already, and I ordered a couple of Core Fusion Pilates and Body Shaping DVDs from Amazon as well to add some new challenges to my workout. I'm debating whether it's excessive to order another 4-DVD set (cheap used, only about $12 from Alibris), but I'll probably break down and order it. It's really nice to have a wide variety of choices. I tend to use the same ones regularly for awhile, then I get tired of them and need a change though it is energizing when I go back to the ones I liked, too.

If you haven't done the ballet DVD for awhile, I recommend trying to find a way to do it once a week. It really made a difference for my thighs and since you suffer from my genetics, you might notice the difference too. Even after more than a year, I still feel the burn when I do the plie section, and I appreciate the little ab workout at the end.

We got Michael set up with some healthy food for the house today. I reminded him that we used to take you grocery shopping too, so it's okay. As long as he works hard on his schooling, I don't expect him to be self-sufficient at this point. I just want him to be healthy. He needs to pay the rent if he wants to live at Grandma's house, since he has the option of living here at no charge while he's in school.

Weird thing with the TV and the Packer game. I had the upstairs TV on the channel for the game, and as soon as game time arrived, the channel went blank. I thought the TV had turned off, but the other channels were fine. A short time later I decided to see if the same phenomenon affected the downstairs TV and found it did not. Thus I got to enjoy a good first half after all. And a good second half as well - GO PACK GO!
