Taste Like Chicken Tue Feb 20

Thanks for the start, Chele. Sorry Iggy's back is bothering him again. Do you know what he did? Were your noodles homemade? Did you decide on fish tacos or something else for your takeout today? We're getting Thai tomorrow. Why is it that, even when we get takeout, there doesn't seem to be any less kitchen clean up? The challenge of some of the exercises yesterday was only part of the problem. We were using the step for the entire class (which we never do) and, as a result, we were looking at her backside most of the time so we couldn't hear her and we had no interaction, which is part of what makes the class so much fun. She was really last minute on deciding the next exercise and her transitions between resistance and cardio were so poorly planned that we lost time getting repositioned between exercises. I was thinking this morning that if this had been my first class, it would have most likely been my last. About 1/3 of the regulars didn't show up yesterday, so I wonder if they knew we had her leading the class. Meeting went well last night and it was a nice evening for a drive home.

Linda, with where you live, I probably wouldn't do ocean stuff on the tree either. Maybe he'll eventually get tired of it and you can relocate the tree to the garage then. Is today a museum day? How are you feeling? Fortunately, the instructor yesterday was only a sub and our regular teacher will be back for the next class. I really lucked into getting such a quick appointment with the surgeon, especially since he is based at my local office, which has only been open for a few months. The first time I passed it when they put up the signage I thought it would be an option for when I have to have cataract surgery, so it will be great to go in as an established patient.

I got an email from Publix, Kathy, advertising Florida strawberries. I saw some last week for over $5/lb and that was a bit more than I would have been comfortable paying. Are your skies sunny again? I saw that Daytona finally happened. The daughter of one of my close friends works for a racing company and was at the race yesterday and posted on FB. Looks like it was a gorgeous day.

I'm tired today after my long day yesterday. It's a mega laundry day for me and I really need to get some work done for the plant sale, which is all on computer. Dale went to a trail in KVL for a run and Arya is asleep. Guess it's time to get to work.

Karen, I got Florida strawberries last week for $2.99 and they were good. I wouldn't pay $5 or more either. It was sunny and cool today. The skies cleared up Monday afternoon in time for the race, so they had a good day for it. I wonder if that instructor was a last minute replacement. One reason I really like Jazzercise is the instructions are always facing you. They do mirror image, so their left is your right and it's much easier to follow. Hope the plant sale is a success.

Chele, hope Iggy's back is better. Shrimp and veggies is one of my favorites.

Linda, my BFF's mother used to have her tree on a dolly and they would just wheel it into a back storage room and cover it up until next year. I'd love to do that too, but don't really have anywhere I could store it like that.
