Boring Weekend Recap

source Monday, we meet again.  You come on like lightning you saucy wench.  I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool.  We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun.     I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to.  The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart.  The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise.  It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know.  It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.  He is.)  Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...

Alternative Workouts

How do I feel this fine Monday morn?  Like a big dog mistook me for his chew toy, shook me for a good 2 hours in play, dropped me, wee’d on me and left me in the toy pile.  Our alternate workout last night?  Painting the bedroom.  Oh. My. Lord.  Now I remember being sore when we painted the living room but I wasn’t in as good of shape then.   But apparently I am using muscles I rarely use doing this because I am just completely exhausted.  We painted for about 8 hours (not straight) and I decided to strap on the heart rate monitor about 30 minutes in.  I burned 2160 calories!  Yeah, way more than the traditional workout we had planned.  If it didn’t burn that much, I was going to take a break so we could go down and do our strength but given the way my arms feel today I did WAY more strength!  Even the front of my ankles hurt from tippy toeing to reach up at the ceiling stuff.  So the next time you’re doing something out of the ordinary that you aren’t sure is a calorie burner, strap on your heart rate monitor and you might just be surprised!
