Thought about you, Quinn and Mike; we just got in from a 3-mile trail hike. Kept it close, just went to the park system right down the road, but we usually just do the neighborhood when it's me and the hubby. It started to rain a bit, but being in the woods definitely kept it cooler, which was good. I never know if I get a good workout doing trails bcs I can't keep my normal walking pace. But on the other hand, it works well for Quinn to keep her in shape. Given that I'm not real experienced at it, I guess I should go back to the heart rate monitor to figure out what kind of burn I get. Time to feed the masses and hopefully work with the weights later tonight.

We just finished dinner and I'm only 70 calories over my budget of 1,500 for the day. Could have been much worse considering I was over at mom & dad's house today. I always grab food when I'm there, today it was a peach, a nectarine and a WW Giant Fudge Bar from the freezer. I didn't even look at the calories of that bad boy until it had already gone down the hatch. Thank heavens it was only 110, whew.
I would chat more but I think WWIII is starting in our upstairs bathroom, so I better log off and go save the world, well at least save a couple of sisters from each other.

Quinn Life is too short not to taste good wine. I know we all want to be healthy and not so heavy but sometimes we just have to live a little
Hope. Worry seems to go hand in hand with parent hood no matter how old our kids are but Mern is right, you have given her the tools and the values to make the choices and even if sometimes she makes the wrong choice ultimately what you have taught her will show through. This was how it was for me. I got involved with the wrong guy, got pregnant, married, but when it all went wrong the things that my parents had been trying to tell me all came clear and I ended up taking responsibility for my life and managed pretty well. Hopefully your DD won't have to learn the hard way but if the worst happens the foundations you have given her will definitely help.
After my Monkees phase I became a real rock chick, Hendrix, Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, the Doors. I visited Jim Morrison's grave in Paris recently. I really wanted to run off to San Francisco and be a hippy, so I am so looking forward to visiting the city where Flower Power started.

Ladies, this is just a quick check in. Y'all are right, I need to get fitted for shoes. I do have running socks but usually after 10-13 miles I'll get blisters. I guess I need to try to find some good wicken socks or try body glide on my feet. Been busy, busy, busy today. Went back to Lowe's for plants and while I was at it I got a big BBQ grill (that's manly for a short guy with a non-dancing banana, right?) Finally made it back home, now cooking, about to cut the back yard, then head to the gym. Lastly, I need to find time to assemble my grill. Oh wait that was second to last. Lastly, I need to bake my rum cake so I can have it for breakfast! I will try to check back later but don't think that I bailed on y'all today.
Ya gotta admit, you gotta love this thread. Mike and "the ladies."
