Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012

Just got an XBOX 360 with Kinect at Christmas and it’s pretty cool.  The Your Shape “game” is full of great exercises like yoga, dance and cardio boxing.  I hate seeing myself on the TV though — too much detail! LOL.

Saturday in Sedona

Spent the day driving up to Sedona and Prescott yesterday.  Last year this time it was super cold and rainy when I visited.  Yesterday was practically balmy but there were some remnants of last weekend’s snow storm.  We ate Chinese for lunch (Cashew chicken for me, Sweet and sour chicken (that wasn’t sweet nor sour enough) for my friend.  Bought new readers at a Whole Foods-like store.  Shopped at Tlaquepaque.  Headed to Prescott for some fancy schmancy olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a visit to the great pet store there.  Took the long but scenic route home through Peeples Valley and Wickenburg.

A picture of ice on a sidewalk.  Hey – I live in Phoenix.  This is exciting stuff!

Ice!

 

Snow seen in the mountains on the way out of Sedona toward Prescott.  Forgot how windy that road was.  Got pretty queasy.

Monthly Report – October & November 2011

  1. Got two steroidal injections in the L1-L2.  Neither worked and I’m still in pain.
  2. Got two alpha beta peels on my face.  Did a great job on my skin but neither lightened the spots created by years of tanning.  The aesthetician recommends one $350 peel she insists will take care of the minor discoloration in one treatment.  That’s very expensive though!
  3. Reseeded my lawn with Pennington One Step winter rye seed.  So much work for very little grass growth.
  4. Gave Zeke and Lucy lots of kisses and got even more in return.
  5. Sold my MacBook Pro.
  6. Turned off my water heater after it started leaking.  Turned it back on 4 weeks later and it’s still not leaking again.  Have huge empathy for people who had to live before water heaters were invented.  How the heck did they properly wash their hair?
  7. Used a $6 glue gun from Hobby Lobby to attach the lamp shade to my vintage lamp.
  8. Got my sweats and warm fuzzy slippers out of storage and finally had to turn on the heat.
  9. Went Black Friday shopping from midnight to 7:30 am.  That included breakfast at Butterfields.  Learned I’m WAY TOO OLD to stay up all night.  Bought a drill for $30 and a bunch of $5 blu-ray movies.
  10. Read lots and lots of books – hope to review more here.

* Good Lord, I’m boring!
