People watching while pumping iron!

I am a people-watcher & in order to "lose myself" at the gym.....it makes the time go by quicker.....that's what I do.  Here are some of the "characters" I get to work out with at 5:30 am

First of all we have Barbie....she earned that name because her hair is absolutely perfect & she wears cutesy  workout gear.  She's about 15 lbs overweight & on the wrong side of 45 so the image doesn't quite make it.  She is always flirting with the young, very, very young kid at the desk who looks like a 17 year old Tom Cruise.  I have one thing to say to her:
"Give it up Barbie...you're old enough to be his Mama!"






Next we have Clem Clod-Hopper......he is always on a treadmill for the entire time I am there.  True to his name he walks like his feet weigh 75 lbs each!!  No matter how loud I tun up my ipod I can't drown him out!






Next up is Tatroid Man............. picture tattoos on steroids!  He apparently has not read the sign about lunkheads & grunts all through his workout.  Not a pretty sight!




Now for Miss Germapobic..........she kills me.  She doesn't spray a paper towel & wipe down the machine when she done, she takes the bottle & sprays the machine!  Don't go sit on a machine after her or you'll think you forgot your Depends!!

    Are you sure you're not at the zoo? Sounds like a fun place to people watch.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Happy "13th" Birthday Liza

Today is Liza's 13th birthday(that is 91 in people years). We are just amazed that she not only is still with us, after being told 18 months ago she wouldn't live 6 months but that weather permitting she still walks 2 miles every morning & another 2 in the afternoon! Check out the slide show.......her friend Lucy came over tonight & they each had a donut w/frosting & sprinkles along with ice cream. It was just too funny as neither one of them can see worth a damn but they knew they were getting something good! Lucy had hers gone in 2 bites but Liza went for the ice cream first & then took her time licking off the frosting!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
