So I got a call from Cadi's dance teacher this morning who said that the recital had been cancelled due to the weather. I turned on the news and saw that the roads are all icy! Eeks.
So, I've paged Ryan and I'm waiting to hear from him to make sure he's safe. He left for work a little late this morning.
I am wondering if church might get cancelled tomorrow since we are meeting at 9 am and the roads won't have time to thaw out if they freeze again tonight (or never thaw today).
At least it's nothing like last year's ice storm. When I look out my window I don't see any ice, but all the freeways (especially bridges) and main streets are bad. We've all been asked to stay home today, if possible.
Now I have even more time to focus on housework. Joy.

Buying Time
My PartyLite sponsor and I were planning on having a Mystery Hostess Open House next weekend, but just decided to postpone it to the following weekend. I feel so much better about it now! Its something I want to do, but I felt like it was being rushed and we weren't giving ourselves enough time to prepare. Now I can breath a little easier and I can focus on doing something else today - like laundry.
I'm not going to the gym today. There is a day care there and its not too expensive ($2 for 1 1/2 hours) but I have so much work to do today. I can do some cardio here and a little of my leg work (I have some weights that I can use.). What I especially want to work is my abs and I admit I really like doing them at the gym, but I can still do something here.
Today is Acadia's Winter dance recital. I'll post pictures. I need to make sure she has black tights, if not we're going to the store!
Okay, well that's enough stalling, time to work...

Corona, CA
I just read this article on-line.
Ryan and I used to live in Corona and I bet I know exactly what area's been evacuated. There was this one section in particular that amazed me to no end that houses were built there. Dumb, du - dumb, dumb, DUMB!
Thankfully the town acted quickly to be on the safe side and all of the residents have been evacuated and are safe. Its times like this when we think back to the friends we've made over the years and hope they and their homes are all kept safe.
Of course, the water can take Norco, that town stank so bad, it could use a good washing! :lol: (As long as everyone is safe of course! And they've got their homes insured!:thumb:)

Flying Solo
Yesterday and today I went to the gym alone! I thought I would feel kind of dumb and like a fish out of water or something but I didn't at all. It was fun and I found I got through my workout much quicker. No dilly dallying, just getting the job done. I think I remembered most of all the tips and stuff Ryan gave me. And I feel energized afterwards. The days I went with Ryan I felt exhausted afterwards but I think it was because we went to the spa and sauna. Don't get me wrong - I love them, but they relax me a little too much! When I skip all that, I feel great and don't need to pass out once I get home.
I am also getting an idea of what kind of schedule I can have to make this whole gym thing work. If I leave as soon as Cadi gets on the bus for school, I can get to the gym do my cardio for 45 minutes then about 30-40 minutes of weights and get home in time to shower and still have about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to get work done before Cadi gets home. Whew! But it will work! So...Yay Me!
In other news...Last night was my first Enrichment wearing pants in over a year! :lol: Beckie was a little frazzled yesterday afternoon when I talked to her, but she did so great last night and everything turned out wonderful.
We went on a "Care of Being" cruise. We had each been given passports as invitations and brought them with us. They were stamped as we arrived and then again at each activity we participated in. The activities were Tai Chi, Massage therapy (it felt SOOOOOO good!), and skin and nail care and treatments. I did the Tai Chi and massage class. I think we all wished our husbands were taking that massage class with us! We did get handouts with lots of tips to take home and "share". :thumb:

Hillbilly Horseshoes
Tonight we (young women and young men) played Hillybilly Horseshoes. It was great fun! If you haven't heard of it before and want the low-down, let me know. But for now I'm not going into much detail. Except to say.....MY TEAM WON! Yeah!!!

Word of the day:
Stinkin'
As in "stinkin' traffic" or "stinkin' alarm clock". This is actually not just the word of the day, but the word of the month, or so.
It is also helpful as comic relief. As in "stinkin' commandments" or "stinkin' job". And in case you are worrying that I've gone apostate or ungrateful, the context is usually where we are pretending like we are miffed by having to do something that we really don't mind doing. Or at least recognizing that it's important to do and worth the sacrifice and effort to do so.
Sometimes used to vent at a temptation, such as: "stinkin' ice cream" or "stinkin' Jack in the Box".
Occasionally used when kidding around with eachother: "stinkin' spouse" or "stinkin' canadian" (I just used that one on Landon today.).
Got it? Good. (Stinkin' Bloggers!) :lol:
