Friday already??

It is Friday already! Where did the week go? It has been busy here. I have been working on my nephew’s wedding flowers and have it halfway finished. Last night I got a call from someone asking about a May wedding. She said she will call back and make an appointment. It was the mom I talked to. She sounded nice and the prices she told me a retail shop was quoting sounded very high! But then, they would be. I’m sure they are average. Anyways we will see if the Mom talks the daughter into a consultation with me.

Once again we were blessed with FREE exercise equipment! A co-worker of David’s gave us a Soloflex. David brought it home last night and set it up—we *think* correctly! Then we watched Soloflex infomercials on YouTube to see what to do next! LOL! Not too awful hard but confusing without a manual to look at! May try to buy one on Ebay or something. I did some upper body exercises on it this morning. Warmed up by biking on the recumbent bike 10 minutes on the cross training program. Feeling a little *strange* now but not sure what’s up. I did wake up and stay up at 5:15 today so maybe I need more sleep. The weather was rainy last night so maybe that has something to do with it.

Health wise I still have not heard back about my MRI. I am going to call the oncologist today and see if he knows anything yet. I will post as soon as I know anything.

First posting

OK so here is my first blog post on here. I have taken several months to figure out what I wanted to blog about and I still don't really know. But I am planning on posting my daily food and fitness journals, recipes, and vent or rejoice! I need an outlet for my stress and this will sort of be one.
