Outside stuff

It's Springtime, the time of year when the Lowes and Home Depot ads are filling the newspapers, and I am just amazed at the incredible array of outside stuff that they carry now! I'm not really THAT old, and when I was a kiddo, no one had any furniture outside except a picnic table, a couple of lawn chairs, and maybe a pool. Now there are a plethora of choices in gazebos, decks, hot tubs, all sorts of goodies for outside. Cool stuff, but just another area for me to attempt to keep tidy!!!

Get up!!!

I have decided that I need to have a little personal trainer chase me around and yell "get up!" at me, whenever I'm tempted to sneak onto the computer, or sit for "just a minute" on the couch, when I know full well that I should be walking on the treadmill, taking a spin on an elliptical, or going for a nice bike ride with the kids outside. I am just too tired to be active on my own! Whine whine whine..... I did do about a third of a pilates on the exercise ball routine this morning, so those 10 minutes should count for something, right? :)
