The person who recommended my current boot camp is 22.
My ass is not 22.
Maybe this is why my 35 yr old butt did not want to get up this morning.
"Yay! It's morning! Coffee!" I said, upon waking.
Butt replied, "Oh hell no. Slow down there, hoss"
So instead of my normal LEAP out of bed and gallop to kitchen, I eased my way out of bed and crept down the hall until my muscles decided what they were doing.
I have NO age related issues. I think old is a state of mind. On my mom's 50th birthday, she climbed the tallest tree on her property for birthday pics...because people were giving her the Dread 50s speech.
But, new boot camp plus the hill hiking yesterday made me realize that I did not have 22 yr old glutes.
Cooking:
There are some days, like today, when I have spent 90% of my time in the kitchen prepping/cooking/baking/washing dishes/cleaning up...that I wish we ate more premade stuff!
Oh, to toss a lasagna into the oven (already in its weird paperyfake baking dish!) and be done with it.
Working from home vs. leaving for work:
I never leave "work". Work is always right here staring me in the face.
Michael comes home from work and relaxes.
I need a better method here..
No one respects my hours if I don't enforce them. I need to be able to walk away from work.
Two things to work on.
Gardening:
Finally, in September, I will be eating my first watermelon.
And cabbage.

You can time things and plan things and be so precise with gardening...and you'll get what you get when the garden damned well feels like it!
Have some Pig. Everyone feels better after some Pig.

speaking of older age, i think my boobs need some of your watermelon slings... just sayin'...
ReplyDelete:)
yay pig! :)
Oh my gosh! I am literally laughing out loud at TexWisGirl!
ReplyDeleteYour garden goodies look wonderful. Don't forget to take a pic of the first watermelon you cut into!
You make me laugh!!! AND thankful that my 38yearoldass isn't in bootcamp.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin'. LOLOL
I love pig!!!
Oh.... think she needs some lip bomb? LOLOLOLOLOL
TexWisGirl is so true!!! No, I don't mean SHE needs those watermelon slings... but I do! I would probably prefer black tights. Better support that way.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, everybody feels good after some Pig! I don't know why it is, but it is true. Pig always cheer me up!
LOVIN' the first pic of Pig, the eyes closed, she's just FEELIN' the carbs, it's like spiritual:@)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love your Pig! I come here for my fix of groundhog pix. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is cuter...Pig's hands or her mouth.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the work hours of a housewife! We must put our foot down, OK, yea, I know... good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteT... you're killing me with your comment! Great idea though!
I'm so jealous of your garden *sigh*!
And Pig... SO cute!
ANY set of glutes that gets pushed to the limit like that melon boob sling is gonna rebel. (Hope the melon gets ready before the panty hose resigns.)
ReplyDeleteHooray for your mom showing the world that age is not a number. I'll bet she'll be able to do a repeat performance on her 60th.
Pig should be able to sleep for months on all that carbo loading.
I really do think that you'd make millions if you published a book of your Pig photos and commentaries.
ReplyDeleteI lasted a day at boot camp. Thank the Good Lord that I got sick after that, and wasn't able to return.
I have the opposite problem as you - I work from home, but my personal life keeps trying to interfere with my work. I guess I'm lucky that I can turn off the laptop at the end of the day and work powers off with it.
Isn't it funny - I planted my green peppers in April and just picked my first one last night. Lazy plant.
ReplyDeletePig always makes me smile. B
ReplyDeleteProud of you -- and thanks for the piggy pics. She's a hoot!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny and I know what you are talking about. I went to get up out of bed and I jumped out like normal and then stood there swaying because my legs didn't know what walking was after all of the work I have been doing. You are right we never get off work.
ReplyDeleteI think any day will be better with pictures of the pig. She is just great.
