It's coming.....

I looked at the mountains on my drive home,
there was a light dusting of snow.
I pulled over and too this picture and realized that
I would be injoying the
last days of warm sunny weather
 and there are things that need
to be done before the real snow sets in.
I know that I'm tired of the heat we've experienced, but
am I ready for what's to come....
 
This is my Jasmine..........
it nearly perished from the heat
when I was on vacation.
My instructions for watering were not
made clear, and she suffered......
I'm hoping she will
recover and bless me with
those wonderful flowers that
smell so sweet.

 My Gardenia......she nearly went the way
of her many predessors..this past winter
I had her up high where the hot air
rises and was in line with a ceiling fan.
This was necessary because of a
certain feline that was in the house.
(said feline peed on my previous Gardenia
and killed it, there's nothing like
cat piss to kill anything living-
and to strip paint.......no kidding)
She was in a perfect place all summer,
 where it was wet and shady, and she revived nicely.
I'm hoping to take better care of her
this winter.
This is my Tangerine tree, she is
still on the deck, I'm making room
for her..........

Little Miss 2 Year Old

It was The Soph-a-licious' two year old birthday celebration. .....a circus theme with popcorn hot dogs (for the kids brats for the grown ups)  She has enough Dora stuff to last 3 lifetimes.  I really want to have a hair bow like she has on...darling.

30 days...

Welcome September!!

The weather is cooling off.

I replaced the heating element that went out in July......who cares if your oven works in July!  It's actually a blessing..no heating up the house to bake.

I made a batch of 30-day bran muffins.   They are my all time favorite muffins.  The last in your fridge for up to 30 days....but not in mine....I will be eating these babies every morning until they're gone.

BOOT CAMP.....BOO-YA
So.....since I'm the fattest I've ever been
I signed up for the O.ZONE boot camp.
(6) weeks of training.....
There's lots of different ways to
torture train the body.
 high knees
jumping jacks
kick butts
resistance bands....

Kettle Bells........used many ways....
Free weights..........curls
lifts......blah blah blah
The exercise Ball......used in ways
I would never have guessed.
This will teach you balance in a very
painful way.
There pull-ups
Sprinting
Crunches
Squats
Lunges......
And then there's BURPEE's..................
They're awful, painful, ridiculously tiring,
and they are DAILY
I just think to myself as I'm
doing them......
"Oh Dear........make them go away"
OR..
If I ever meet the Svengali who
created Burpees....I'll bitch slap them
then call them some names
(words my Mom would slap me for saying)
I groan, and shake, and sweat, and think
unkind thoughts about the trainer as
I do the dreaded Burpees.
Burpees are of the Devil.
But......
it they help me get rid of
my obscenely large A$$
Who cares.....bring on the BURPEES.
