School day today and it is one of my favorites !!!
We are going to talk about the different kinds of dirt and how it affects the way things grow
We are bringing red clay dirt,sandy dirt & regular garden dirt
The kids love this class because it is very hands on
lol The teachers on the other hand lets just say we always manage to end up with dirt everywhere
I am in charge of bringing the regular garden dirt so will be heading out into the garden with my shovel shortly
This afternoon will be exercise time
It is suppose to be a terrific day hitting 72 so I think it will be outside exercise
Who wants to come to school and play in the dirt with us !!!!!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Um, I'm not a dirt kinda gal, Karla, but thanks for the offer. My mom says that, even as a little girl, I'd come running into the house, holding out my hands, fingers splayed, yelling, "Durty, mama, durty!"
Still a bit foggy today. It should burn off soon, then get into the upper 70's before a cool front comes in tomorrow afternoon. Right now, it's 65. Yay. No walking. I think Lazy Susan has set up permanent residence here. I need to get out and get some stuff done in the yard before Laurie hits next week. Lots of time, right??? :-}
Okay I need to send you all some snow right now. Snow on the ground but sunny out.
Welcome to the forum Lizagill. Great bunch of gals here.
It's hard sometimes for me to tell what 'light' exercise is. Most of my exercise dvd's are intense but I can do the Leslie Sansone and Richard Simmons dvd's (moderately)and then after surgery start back up again with light exercise and move more intense again. Chemo should not affect my exercise and my doc encouraged it full strength as soon as I heal from the surgery so I'm getting ready to choose who I want to work out with today easily.
Don't send me any snow. I spent well over an hour yesterday shoveling that icy, slushy crap off our driveway and sidewalk. What a workout! But not in a good way.
Oh, it's snowing where Billy is too! In Killeen, about an hour north of Austin!
Anyway, we're going to some swanky restaurant with some friends of dh's so I have to hurry up and do my other stuff, and so I only did the 10 minute cardio today. Woke up with a stiff neck yesterday and it doesn't feel any better today, so I'm moving slow.
Good for you Cheryl, I'm sure it helps to be in good shape when you're facing something like this. But Richard Simmons--yikes, makes me sweat just thinking about his hyper-ness!
Cheryl exercising is great when you are on chemo, keeps your strength up:~) You go girl!
Karla I would be one of the girls getting dirty, my mom always said my sister was a little lady and I was the tom boy. lol, I still get dirty when working with flowers.
Well I skipped exercising tonight, just don't feel like it so that means I will have to go Friday night.
Keep your snow gals it is beginning to cool down here and I am waiting for SPRING!
Have a good night.
Morning all
Yesterday was busier than I thought and I am just getting back on the puter
OMG the kids were Out of Control in our 2nd & 3rd classes I even asked them "who gave y'all sugar !!!"
I spent time on the phone with my dental insurance company.
I did find out some interesting information
If I tried the build up and crown and it failed in say 9 months I would have to pay for the perm bridge or implant myself since the ins only pays for 1 treatment for the tooth for 5 years
They will pay 50% of the implant or perm bridge up to my yearly benefit limits which s $1300
The price is pretty close for either the only thing about the perm bridge is they crown the teeth on either side and we all know how "well" I do with the drilling process that goes into the crown prep.
So now that I am "armed" with info I have my list of questions to bring to tomorrows consultation
I also met with the pool guy at C/D house he seems to think he can get the hard water & mineral stains out of the pool The quote to refinish the pool is $4k and the treatment is around $400 so I negotiated that is he tries the acid treatment and it doesn't work they would deduct that amount from the refinishing price.
Cheryl the Leslie Sansone 1 mile express walk away the pounds is pretty mild do you have that one ? if not I may be able to copy it for you
That is great news that the Chemo won't affect your ability to exercise it is amazing that medical science has come so far
I wonder if you did a google search if there are not exercise DVDs out there that specialize in post surgery exercises
Fuzzy I spoke to my friend in San Antonio last night ans she was having snow too
that cold is headed out way it was 72 here yesterday but they are saying good luck with hitting 50 today
I had to chuckle it seems we are all of the same generation that remembers when Richard Simmons fist came out with his exercises Which soap was he on, I am thinking General Hospital ?
Was Richard on a soap? I didn't know that. I don't have the 1 mile dvd. I did it have it on VCR but gave it away and got the 5 mile walk that can be broken up but it seems more intense. The thing about exercise dvd's is no matter how tough they are like the slim in 6 series, I am determined to keep up with the instructors.
Dancing/moving around to music seems to help me now mentally so I'm sticking to that for now.

Yes, he was on General Hospital, played himself, teaching an exercise class back in the early 80's maybe?
