Where's the sun??

It's another gray, gloomy day here in central Indiana...they said it was supposed to clear up but so far it's still real cloudy out. No rain yet, but plenty of gray sky!

I didn't realize it had been so long since I had updated..guess I'm spending way too much time on line browsing Facebook and Two Peas in a Bucket; along with really reading alot. I have found a series of books by Charlaine Harris which the HBO True Blood show is based on and they are hard to put down. So far I have read the first seven books and now I have to wait for the next two as noone here has them in paperback yet. I don't want to pay $20 for a hardback copy, besides they are harder to store. The series is really good and reminds me in ways of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich...both main characters are always getting in a fix in one way or the other. I highly recommend both series. Now that I have caught up on them, I may have to start re-reading some of my other books, maybe the Twiglight books since I have all four.

Not much has really been going on here. My DH came home a week ago after a 2 week trip to Canada canoeing and turned 60 two days later. We had dinner at Grindstone Charlie's with his mother, sister, brother in law,and his daughter who came in for his birthday and brought her little 15 mo old., Ashley. We had a really nice time at dinner and enjoyed having Ashley for a couple days--she is alot of fun and takes alot of energy to keep up with, but we manage somehow. After they left, we were both worn out and had to rest up to get any work done around here...guess our age is showing.

I started an exercise program at home this week....man, I didn't realize how out of shape I am. It's really showing when I try to do this tape and the workout...my legs are killing me...but I have to keep going or I'll never lose weight or get in shape. I want to lose at least 15 to 20 lbs., if I can..I'll be happy with 15 in the next two months but my goal is alot more. I'm up to 172--the heaviest I've ever been in my life and I know that it is because since I lost my job 3 yrs ago, I've been more sedatary than ever...so I have to do something about that now. Once I get myself up to doing the entire program, I want to get into something at Newtone Fitness center--like Body Vive or whatever, but if I can't do this tape all the way through then I'll never make it in an hour class at Newtone. So I have high hopes that this will work and I can stay motivated to do something about my weight and fitness.

WEll, that's about all I know for now...my life isn't real exciting so there's not alot to write about at the moment. Later.
