Quieting the ‘inner laziness’
September 28, 2007 on 11:04 am | In life | 2797 CommentsI did my 2 mile walk this morning all by my lonesome. The walkman did it’s job nicely though. Kept me company, and moving at a clip. In fact, I upped my speed from a 24 minute mile to a 15 min mile and completed the 2 miles in 30 minutes. I’m actually beginning to consider doing a 1 mile walk inbetween the 2 mile days. I had upped the 2 miles twice a week, to 2 miles (or 2.5 depending on which direction I go that day) three times a week. Maybe on the ‘off’ days I’ll do a mile as well. I love the way I feel when it’s over, but it’s the getting up to do it, my mind comes up with a million excuses why I shouldn’t go. LOL Gotta find a way to gag my ‘inner laziness’.
Locked Boxes
September 27, 2007 on 5:32 pm | In life | 2261 Commentscbu mailboxes has fantastic mailboxes for businesses and they also have really beautiful, yet ultra-functional locking mailboxes to insure the most privacy and security. I really like the idea of a locking mailbox. Even out here in the country things happen. In fact, maybe more so because no one is around to see it when it does. I need a new box though, that’s for sure. Right now our box is tied up with baling twine and wood braces because someone plowed into the post and knocked it over. That happens a lot too out here. It’s a wide open street but for some reason drivers can’t manage to stay on it. And when they hit the mailbox at 80 mph it does some damage.
Get The Most Out Of Life
September 27, 2007 on 5:08 pm | In life | 2619 CommentsProgesterone is a really important hormone that women can be depleating and need a boost with. A simple cream is all that’s necessary to help boost progesterone and help elivate cramps from PMS and perimenopause amongst other things. Renaissance progesterone cream is sold over the counter and contains the highest level of progesterone allowed by the FDA. It also contains Aloe Vera gel for a soothing application that feels great on your skin. Having low progesterone levels can cause early onset of perimenopause, horrible headaches, heavy bleeding during menstration, cramps, excessive PMS, and many other things. Don’t let something so simple to solve get in the way of your enjoyment in life.
What To do
September 27, 2007 on 4:40 pm | In life | 2896 CommentsEverything seems so much easier when the weather is nice. Today and yesterday the temperatures were cool while the sun was still out making things bright and cheerful. I love the fall. The animals seem to like it fine too. The cooler weather has them running and kicking up their heels. It’s fun to watch. I still have quite a few minis to sell. I’ve decided to sell all but four of my ‘pets’ that I’ve had since the beginning. The rest I want to find good homes for. I’ve thought briefly about getting a nice well-broke riding horse again, but you know, I’m trying hard to get my body back, I don’t know if I want to risk it by getting on a 1200 pound piece of muscle that can put me in the dirt. I’ve come to realize that as I get older, that dirt gets harder and harder.
Walk, Man!
September 27, 2007 on 2:12 pm | In life | 1420 CommentsWell, I lost my walking partner to other life issues and so I have to do my walking Friday all alone. I did that before but it’s not as much fun without someone along for the pain. So, I splurged. I didn’t really have the money, but I went out this morning and bought a walkman. Yeah, an old-fashioned walkman. Funny how that’s ‘old-fashioned’ now. I was planning on buying myself an Ipod when I reached my first short-term goal. It really isn’t that far away, but I can’t really afford an Ipod right now, and they’re kind of a pain in the butt to deal with anyway, although you can fit a lot more music on them. I remember when CD walkman’s were all the rage, and before them, cassette walkman’s. Funny how time just flies on by leaving old technology in the dust. You can still buy the moldy oldies though, hey I even saw a cassette type walkman there too, although only one, while there are still many versions of the CD walkman available. I bought a waist-belt holder for the player too and got home and found the machine didn’t fit in the front part where it’s supposed to go. (Ugh) It did fit in the inside zipper part though, and I just have to leave it open a bit for the headphone wire to come out and it’s all good. So I’m already to do my walking alone on Friday!
Back In The Swing
September 26, 2007 on 3:51 pm | In life | 2191 CommentsI’ve been having a great deal of difficulty getting through the change of season ‘blahs’. It really doesn’t even make sense because I love this time of year. The crisp air is more fun to be out in doing chores, and messing with the animals, and even better for exercising. I can actually go on walks without swimming in sweat, and workout in the house without having a heat stroke. Still, it brings on a bit of the blues. That’s finally lifting now, and today I feel much better than I have in a few days. Perhaps I can get back into my normal swing.
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
September 23, 2007 on 2:45 pm | In life | 2079 CommentsArizona has some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, and Phoenix real estate is probably the most sought after around that area. A friend of mine goes to Arizona every year for the Arabian World show and it’s amazing in that part of the state. I love hot, sunny, and did I mention hot places and if I could convince Bob that ‘hot’ is the way to go I’d live there. He likes the idea of ocean views better though. So it looks like the only time I’ll ‘get to’ Phoenix is passing through on a yearly basis as a helper for my friend.
Tough As Steel
September 23, 2007 on 2:08 pm | In life | 1178 CommentsI have a steel barn and as much as I love the old-fashioned wood barns, I have to say that steel wins out in big ways over them in terms of durablility, and in most cases beauty too. It’s not like it once was where steel buildings looked drab, you can even imitate almost any style of wood building with steel and have it hold it’s looks longer. You can even get steel roofing on your home. I know someone down the street that has that and it’s quite beautiful, and I can only imagine how much longer lasting than traditional shingles. I want to do that when we have to re-roof our home. Some of the most beautiful steel buildings incorporate all kinds of elegant angles and levels that make them eye-appealing as well as ultra-functional. Steel really is the way to go with any building project.
Coming Closer To A Final Decision
September 21, 2007 on 1:06 pm | In life | 2674 CommentsOrlando real estate is beautiful, and Florida is one of my favorite states. I give it top consideration for our final choice of a place to move. I love the ocean, and heat. Hubby’s not too fond of the hot sun, but he can stay inside. The Orlando side of Florida is loaded with fun things to do, and places to go. It’s the best area in the state in that regards. I’d like a nice condo near enough to the ocean to have a view. I don’t even think I want ‘land’ per say anymore. It takes so much time to keep up with. I have to convince Bob of that though. There are lots of rural areas left in the Florida area too though, if I can’t convince him that a condo would be a lovely way to spend our lives.
Making Relationships Work
September 21, 2007 on 12:46 pm | In life | 1705 CommentsA friend of mine was telling me the other day that their relationship with their husband was so strained lately, and that they’ve both changed so much that they aren’t even on the same page anymore. That’s sad. The thing is, people do change, all through their lives. Every little event affects the way we think, the way we see the world around us, both good and bad, in a major way or in a seemingly insignificant way. Even the little ways we change build up to create a totally different view in the long run, however, one thing that really shouldn’t change is our love for our partner. Loving someone requires that you understand that they are human, have feelings that are unique unto themselves, and it should–needs to–work both ways there too. Each participant in a relationship needs to see the other for who they are, and understand that the person they are is a result of the many things that happen, they’re not going to be the same person they were 5 years ago, 10, 20, or 2 years ago. That doesn’t make them bad. I think what really happens is one, or both of the partners doesn’t want to accept the other. So long as both parties still care for, and love each other, the rest just doesn’t matter. It may sound simplistic, and really it is, but it is also true. Sometimes it’s just too easy to say, well we’ve grown apart so the heck with it, I don’t want to do this anymore. Long lasting relationships take work. Everyone’s heard that but I’m not sure they understand what that ‘work’ is. It’s not something physical, or tangible in most cases. The work is emotional and philosophical. You can’t touch it, or see it, but you have to do it in order to have a longterm relationsihp. It’s a lot of work sometimes to understand someone else’s point of view and accept it. If both parties can do it, then it can work.
