i think i broke...my TOE

it's blue
and puffed up
and painful

i'll let ya know

over and out!

Gym

i. joined. a. gym.
there are those who will rejoice at this news.
my bro has been trying to get me to do this thing for years.
i went kicking and screaming.
but it is a way-cool one.
so far i've done a SPIN CLASS (ouch...is it over yet?); ran on the treadmill (trying not to fall off...boy, my BALANCE has changed!); faked it on the ELLIPTICAL (ha ha...i'll get 'trained' on that tomorrow); swam in the pool w/ my younguns (w/ my INDIVIDUAL membership i can take my FAMILY each day in the afternoon!!!!! BONUS!); and, yesterday, took a STEP class.

can you say, "IT'S BEEN 9 YEARS SINCE MY LAST STEP CLASS?" oh good grief, gerdie.
there's that BALANCE thing again. i should rephrase...it's not that "i took a step class." it's more like: "i tripped and stumbled thru a step class."

but in the end i was smiling...sweating, but smiling.

so, we're on the road again. and i will try and WORKOUT 4 times a week.
and, greg, the trainer lady that signed me up (and led our RPM class ---aka spin class) is going to give me a free start-up deal about what things to work out on ... on the wt machines.

okay? capiche? whatever. thanks be to God that we could do this right now. i don't know that we really can but my loving hubby wanted me to do this to feel better about all things! yeahoo!

on the homefront, everybody is healthy. too bad we're not wealthy (money's not everything). but we ARE wise. (right?) and i know my kids are growing in wisdom. as are we. (that is from the "healthy, wealthy and wise" saying...sorry...it's a tangent.)

perspective: we are extremely wealthy in the Lord. we have a RISEN SAVIOR! He is the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. He is the BEGINNING AND THE END. The Alpha and the Omega. He WINS!

God Bless your day. Seek Him and He will be found! He WANTS YOU! =)

i need to write

well, as i need to write...and i'm not running...but not just eating either...i'll write about the mundane (and not too mundane) happenings of life in the grant household, eh?

no, i am not sitting here at the computer

actually...staying as far away as possible

of late, i try to TURN IT OFF early in the day so i'm not tempted all day long

takes so long to boot up, don'tchyaknow

the day started out a whole lot diff'rently ... i thought i was going to go check out world's gym whilst my family started to slave away at YARD work! (i love yard work...we have too much tho...but i also like to get away. and any time when they are going to ACCOMPLISH something w/o me here....WOW! it's like a dream come true!)

but alas rain

which i love

mixed w/ wind

love it

feels like the ocean

i love to open a few windows and hear it pattering.

sent janie outside to get her piano bag outta the van and she came back in sopping and irritable

i said, just pretend we live at the ocean. (which she likes to pretend) but she was grumpy. so i encouraged her with, if we lived there, we'd buy RAIN GEAR!!!! =)

b and n left to run errands.

so i started cleaning. katelin's room (with katelin).
my room (w/o katelin!=)). dusted.

i've been spray painting. (yesterday) black. did a few frames. have those in my room but not up yet. things i haven't seen in a year! (since moving here. did a wall-hanging magazine rack i found at a garage sale. black. that, i hung! (DRILLED! SCREWED!! wow) in my bathroom. brad says it's crooked. it will drive him crazy as he sits on the pot. woe is him. =)

back to today: i got on tangent #3million (sorry flylady) and started looking for more things to spray paint. (those i sprayed yesterday but today i started looking for more)

so started looking thru pics to put in frames.

now i've emptied a downstairs closet.

oh me

oh my

now i have the schoolroom looking like a tornado hit.

so, i'm off to fix up that mess before dear hubby gets back and thinks i've

BEEN ON THE COMPUTER ALL DAY!!!

(pot calling kettle black)

love and grace and mercy to y'all...in the Name of Jesus! God Bless your beautiful day! ~~kt

ps: yes, i might be joining a gym!
