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.

  As I am writing this it is almost the end of August and we are taking our home on wheels camping.  This is our 3rd time out (can’t count the countless hours I sat in the driveway in it because I needed  a vacation.) Our first outing was to a country music fest in Karlstad MN.  Appropriately called Kickin Up Kountry.   We went with siblings and outlaws and had a blast.  Naturally we pull up and the camper RIGHT NEXT DOOR is a classmate of mine from high school and his wife.  What are the odds.   AND It was hot out so we all know I was a sweaty mess for 3 days.   You know it’s bad when I wear a cowboy hat AND a t-shirt at the same time.  With an umbrella and a fan.   So not my fashion statement but I plan on wearing it again next year!!!   Saw my first Baja races and more men in bib shorts and cowboy boots than I care to count.  Working on Scott’s wardrobe for next year.😄😀 Our second outing was a staycation.   We camped in our hometown park.  It was so fun.  We couldn’t go home no ma

  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 LOUDER AND LOUDER and I want to shut it off but I need my

Tis That Time of Year

  Well…  the season is upon us.  Yep… the season is here!! November was a busy month for sure.  I had the joy of experiencing the BIGGEST craft show I have ever been too.  It was at Canterbury Downs in Shakopee and OMG!!   First let me preface that the 3 I went with have gone every year for 20 years.  (And no this is not them below - this is me after finishing the day.) So they knew what they were doing.  Our first night, we went to a HUGE casino and while 2 of them gambled, 2 of us walked around, got lost and drank beer.   As long as you walked around the circle, you could always find the bar.   Not sure I was very impressive by the time we went back to the hotel.     The next morning we all got up and in true Jodi fashion I was ready to go!  I have learned over the years with my husband, YOU GET UP, YOU GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER AND YOU LEAVE.  Doesn't matter if you look like you slept in a dumpster the night before.  YOU GET IN THE CAR AND GO!!!   So I was ready when it was time to
