Dang! I'm being a terrible blogger lately! I miss it when I don't blog, but as you all know, sometimes we just gotta live and let the blogging fall by the wayside... lest we have nothing to blog about.
I've been busy going to yoga and jazzercise - and loving it. I'd almost forgotten how much better I feel when I work out regularly. And I bought a few workout tops and leotards that I like... Here are three of them that I ordered from Dancewear Solutions:
I got the brown, but I'm sure liking the red one too.
I bought the black, but like all the colors.
I just have to have the classic leotard as well, above - and bought some regular tank top ones too. Leotards aren't popular these days for working out, but I don't know why not... you can bend and move every which-way and they never pull up or out or expose what you don't want exposed. I love 'em! I wear them under my yoga pants or other workout pants that look something like this:
I just wish I could find the six I've lost since we moved. I picked up a few other tops too, along with some new yoga pants - so have enough to last me all week. It's nice to not feel like a frump when working out.
I've also been cooking new and fun things in my attempt to fine-tune Mike's diabetic meals. What a challenge that is, but he is a good sport and has put up with a lot of dishes he's not been too fond of. I had to toss the last large batch of soup I made; it was chickpea and potato and sounded sooo good. I followed the recipe to the 't' and, eeew... it was downright nasty. And, neither of us eats wheat and since stopping it, both of our stomachs of gotten so much flatter. It turns to sugar (whole wheat too) too fast in his system and it's just not a good thing. I've tried lots of store-bought gluten free bread, but haven't been too impressed. Today I'm finally going to try one of two recipes I've been wanting to give a shot.
And I've been digging around in our stuffed basement trying to locate all my bath and body ingredients and containers, etc. Mike finally freed up some shelves for me since he's moved most everything to his shop now (yay!) and I can get organized at long last. I've also been flipping through my recipes and books trying to decide what I want to make. I can't believe the holidays are almost here.
I bought some yarn to get going on some projects for little Margot. I'm trying to decide if I want to follow a pattern or just create something out of my head. Following patterns is usually a pain for me because I much prefer the visual charts that most patterns don't come in. Makes no sense to me! For my brain it's much easier using a chart. Anyway, I'm hoping to get started this week on some cute things for a beautiful little girl.
And about my hair! I'm twirling like a top not knowing what I want to do. Thanks for all the very helpful comments to my last post; I still have some I need to respond to (today I hope) that have me worrying more about giving henna it a try. Good comments, by the way. Thing is, if I had virgin hair, that would be one thing and create a bit more stability in what my outcome would be. But this 3-tone hair just makes it so difficult! I've made an appointment with the guy who used to cut and color my hair for many years to get a consultation on chemical red... how I might look in it, what the color options are, what maintenance would be like, etc. Not that I'm going in that direction; I'm just gathering more information to make an informed choice. One thing about my current blonde is that it's easy and it blends quite well with my natural and whites coming in. There is no strong demarcation line at the roots. And since I am so low maintenance, I want to keep it that way. But... I've not decided anything yet. I want a change in color since I'm already coloring, but I don't want to create a big hassle either. Henna sounds like fun hassle because it is natural and I really think I'd enjoy the process. But I want a natural looking color on my hair. I will keep you guys informed, but this is going to be a slow process. Heaven knows I don't want to rush in and ruin three feet of hair.
I have emails and comments to respond to and you know who you are! I promise to write as soon as possible... today or tomorrow.
