A little bit of everything

That is how the past week as been. I have been so busy doing a little of this and a little of that. I have been making cards with my mom, still working on a Waterfall card that I think our friends from Florida will enjoy, but they live in Canada. I went to friends Saturday night to make cards, went to a friends house Saturday morning to make cards, did a little ironing that ended up being a project and taking two hours...ugh...played Tennis Friday night, went to the Y Tuesday night, bells Wednesday and Thursday and Chancel choir Thursday, yeah i worked too all week as well.
Like I said I have been doing a little of everything, but enjoyed it too.

Not much is happening right now, just ready to start another work week in addition to getting things ready for while I am on vacation. I just realized that yesterday was the 22nd and in a month I will be on the beach with the family enjoying a vacation for two weeks. I am getting vacation fever...you bet...I was thinking about getting my shorts out and seeing which ones I was taking so I could get those ironed as well...ironing again...UGH. After the snow that we got this weekend I am ready to wake up to sunshine, the ocean and the beach, and spending quality time with my family and grandparents.

Well that is a little bit of everything. Until next time.....

5 pounds...

and counting. That is what I have lost in the last two weeks. I am so excited. As most of you know I have been going to the Y twice a week right know and working out, by walking 4 miles a week and Doing Zumba once a week. I think that it is starting to pay off. I have had a few readers ask what Zumba exactly is. So here goes. It is Latin Dance moves with very fast music and you are to wiggle your hips, move you arms and legs all at the same time. Some times you have to tap your feet and turn circles at the same time too. I think that I finally got it all down and don't have to look at the instructor every moment. It is kinds of nice...until she said that next week is a break week and then we will start back up and have all new dances. NEW DANCES! We finally talked he into keep at least two to three old ones so we know what we are doing till be learn the new ones. I really like it and my best friend and her sister go, so then I can laugh at them too while they laugh at me. I hope that this answers any questions about Zumba for those who were wondering.

In other news, there has not been much happening. Work is good. We begin programming this week and I am excited to start that back up. I am ready for the first three weeks. I have also been working away on a PowerPoint Presentation about the library for a conference that i am presenting at in May, but everything has to be turned in by March 15. And that date is coming up quicker than I want it to.

Tonight is a Valentine Dinner and movie at the church. I am helping with that too. I went in early to help and set tables and mix the salad while the other gal make the chicken up. All we have to do later is cook the pasta and be ready to serve. I wish I had a camera to take pictures and download them to my blog to show you what the tables look like. They are very pretty, red tale clothes, with a mirror and candle in the middle, white coffee cups, and red and white checked napkins folded and stuck in the fork. I must say I did a pretty god job.

Well until next time....Have a Happy Valentines Day!!

Soreness...

is what you get when you go to the Y and walk on the treadmill and walk a mile in 20 minutes and then go to Zumba. I am paying for it right now. I thought that a hot bath would help, but nope. I have a feeling I will be paying for it tomorrow. This is the third week that I have done Zumba, but the first that I walked that much and that fast in the amount of time. My girlfriend was laughing at me and telling her sister "look at Lynne she is booking it today". I just smiled. I must say that I feel better by doing this. I just hope that I can keep is up and build on my time and work out at the Y.

This weekend is the getaway for my mom, grandma and I and other ladies from church. I am packed from clothes to stamps to all the extras needed and this is only Tuesday. We are leaving Friday morning. I am excited. In the next post I will let you know how many cards I really did make, I think that I have about 60 ready to go, but not for sure. I will also pick up new patterns and ideas that I will also want to try as well while I am there. So until then......
