New Year New Me in 2023

Hope everyone survived the holiday’s.  

Started the holiday season with colonoscopy.  Now who doesn’t enjoy that as a Christmas gift??  I kept hearing the prep work isn’t at all what it used to be.  It’s a piece of cake.  No discomfort at all.   LIARS!!  Every single one of you are liars.


My appointment was for a Monday morning so I got to enjoy a Sunday of flushing out.  I won’t be disgusting but by prime time that evening, I had to stand up to watch tv.  I could not sit down.  On a positive note I killed it on my Fitbit!!  Pacing the floor and running to the bathroom.  

Then I get to the hospital and the Dr walks in.  HE IS 12 YEARS OLD IF A DAY!!  And he looks at me and says “you look familiar, have we met?”  Um. No.  After we chatted for a bit, (and he gives me a heads up of the gory details of the procedure) it ends up he knows my daughter and her girlfriend as does his wife.   A little up close and personal.  Aren’t all Dr’s supposed to be older than us???  


And true to my blog last month, I started at the gym again.  Had to take a couple months off for health reasons so was pretty sure I would die a slow death the first week.  Yep.  I called that one!!


First I had to dust off my gym bag and clean it out.  Then I had to find my sports bras’ and my leggings that suck in everything to hide the chunk and sag.  I wanted to make sure I wasn’t jiggling around when I went to show off my stuff to the gals.   And show off I did.    Have a new trainer (4th or 5th since I’ve started if that tells you anything) and I am sure she was very impressed!!

The part I forgot about was after the work out.  You sweat all the way home.  Try to cool off by rolling in a snow bank, taking a cold shower, or standing in front of the fridge naked.   And since I am 50+, I sweat without even moving.    



And just getting out of my work out garb makes me sweat more.  The sports bra is fused to my body, I work to get it unstuck, the girls are trying to break free and BAM!!!  They fall out like 2 big water balloons plunging off a high rise balcony!   I’m just glad my menopause mushroom stops them before they hit the counter.


But here we go…  I am committed now OR maybe I should be committed.

So. Is wearing a mask our new normal??

  As I get ready to go to the Dr for an appointment I find myself searching for the mask that will match what I am wearing.  REALLY??  I guess that shouldn’t surprise those of you that know me at all.  👸🏼👸🏼 I also ate breakfast before I left and normally would check my teeth and make sure my lipstick is spot on BUT I find myself in the kitchen thinking - WHY?  What does it matter if my lipstick is only on part of my lip?  What does it matter if I have bagel crumbs in my teeth?  NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE ME!!!!  Now don’t get me wrong, my eyes and eye brows are spot on.  But the rest....  whatever?👀💋 Found the right mask for the job and headed down the road.  Did the norm when I got to the clinic.  Mask on, sunglasses off, temperature taken, 20 questions answered, gold star sticker telling me I am good to go.  🎖🎖 Since I drank a larger than average coffee on the way, I have to stop at the ladies litter box quick before...

Beach Whales and Adorable Dolphins

As I told you in March after my exciting travels to St. Louis, I again got to do some traveling in April.   Scott and I got the opportunity to go to Los Cabos and stay at the Hilton Golf and Beach Resort.  Not going to lie, it was a tough week.    I was nervous about going thinking Scott would get bored easily…..   I was totally wrong.  We were up everyday at 6:30 to get to go and save our chairs by the pool/hot tub/swim up bar.  Then off to breakfast and back to our chairs for my morning “juice”.  My favorite flavors were either strawberry or banana with a tinge of rum.    We met some amazing new friends and one of them showed Scott how to locate the whales that were migrating.  SOOOO, while I sat in my chair sipping my juice and reading, Scott became the “WHALE WHISPERER”.   Kids were all over that.  And adults too.  He would stand in the infinity pool and point to the water.  Not sure there were whales or not ...

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOU...
