Today is our 49th Wedding Anniversary (yes [sigh] I know 9/11!!) and
my DH just started ripping up the carpeting--I said "What are you DOING?"
(Hear that tone of voice..heh heh I am sure you do...)
He says," It's gone, NOW! Happy Anniversary--we will have this floor re-done and get some nice area rugs for under dining table and in front of fireplace"..
(BIG HUGS ... fade out....!!!)
What a guy!! AND he's doing all the ripping, prying, removing of those dang staples...bit by bit we will move furniture and get it off there. Room is 33' x 14' so no little job. My SUPERHERO for sure...49 years --can you see why....
And in the fabric line--I know, no new fabric--BUT I could NOT resist 1/2 yd of each of these two beauties to add to my batik stash....
AND, tonight we are going out to dinner--so NO COOKING either!! Be still my heart...
On my diet news front: I have begun coming off Atkins strenuous plan and adding more foods--a few pounds have found their nasty way back, but I also enrolled in a Gentle Yoga (the gentle part is DEFINITELY in the eye of much younger ladies!) two times a week Tues and Fri. I went this past Tuesday for the first time and worked very hard: shaking muscles, falling over, sweating (oh, pardonnez -moi--glowing!!) --I kid you not!! I am hoping that this 75 minutes twice a week will offset that poundage and make me more flexible and strengthen my arms and shoulders.
Also I have a Deep Relaxation class that is available to me on the day I visit Mom--perfect after tough visits...
This is the week of washing REDS (interesting--not many of these--one of the pluses of doing this is to see what you have and need);
AND I tore off pieces of all my pre-washed orientals for my lozenges quilt.....I am wordy today...and busy...
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse
