Happy Holidays everyone!

Weekly check in from Syracuse! Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS Holiday with family and friends!!

Dad should be on his way now - I just realized I should have picked a later time as I am SO not hungry right now. Maybe I can convince him to do gift exchanges first with dinner in a bit. Have to wait and see how he's feeling....

This has been a terrific Holiday weekend here!! Terrific presents from my friends so far and, my absolute FAVORITE part of a Holiday, AMAZING training sessions! Nobody goes to the gym over the Holidays so it is my chance to use all of my favorites and since I know I don't have to work on my feet all day - really kick it into overdrive!

I am SO very sore today I thought simply taking the trash out might require a nap afterwards!

Nothing too exciting to report. Work is manageable - as is the rash - social life is slowly picking up - which is AMAZING considering it's winter here and I don't even go to the mailbox unless I am expecting something - LOL!

Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

Still here!!

I survived dinner out last Sunday night - we had a FABULOUS time! So great to catch up with a friend! We use to be inseparable - then had a falling out - and have slowly been rebuilding our friendship over the past couple of years. We're both at different points in our life's - different view and priorities then before. It was so nice to chat we promised to do it on a regular basis - so we'll have to stay on top of this - as it is so easy to let life get in the way and the next thing you know......

Many outings scheduled for the next couple of weeks. Comedy club with co - workers in 3, bumper cars on ice in 5 - REALLY looking forward to this how much fun will THAT be!!!! A meet and greet this week - so nice to be interacting with folks and stay out of the shower for a few minutes:)

Christmas with G'ma was supposed to be today - but mother nature is hitting us with a nasty winter storm - and G'ma has put her foot down that this surprise will have to wait until she returns from Florida - after Christmas. I have to honest - I am disappointed about postponing - as I know it will make her VERY happy/surprised - but the reaction will be the same - just a bit delayed is all.

And her canceling and Mother Nature keeping me close to home will allow for training, cooking, laundry - the usual stuff - but with no rushing - so that's always a nice surprise!

In fact - I'm off to thaw my car now - and hit teh gym before it gets too terribly bad out there:)

Weekend update...

The week's are just flying by - seemingly always the case but even more so when your days are filled with Dr.'s appointments and cooking/prepping. The bumps are STILL around - beyond frustrating - so yet another Dr.'s appointment in the morning. They are no where near the haircut/color - so at least we know that's not the trigger. And my allergist doesn't think it's food related - he says that's more hives than bumps/rash. Not to sure what the difference is THERE - but hey - whatever. I'm just keeping o!

So with the rash back - and spreading I am starting to pay a bit more attention - AGAIN - to what foods goes in my mouth - and seeing if there is a correlation. Certainly can't hurt. Laundry detergents haven't changed, or bath products, or cleaning supplies, and everything outside is frozen....SOMETHING is causing this - what is the question.

Got my facial this past week - FABULOUS!! OMG made SUCH an a difference in my appearance/texture/confidence after just one. I can not wait to go back. I've asked Santa for gift cards this year:)

Terrific training at the gym - clean healthy living seems to guarantee that. Still fighting with the stupid electronics - old MP3 has been returned, new phone activated, playlists in the new MP3 - but still needs some fine tuning. That's on this weekend's agenda.

Dinner plans with a friend tonight at a new restaurant - fingers crossed on this one. Hopefully no new eruptions come morning!

And I don't know what's in the air here - but the men all seem to have "Holiday Fever". Folks are approaching like crazy - but honestly - with all of the showering/prepping/creaming/etc. Dating is the LAST thing on my mind. Me and Blockbuster get along just fine!

But I am off to visit the one "guy" I would never break a date on - off to visit "gym":)
