Howdy Humble Readers...
I hope you're all having a great Monday.
It's Heritage Day here in Alberta, and it's kind of an odd holiday. Most provinces have a holiday in August, but they all celebrate different things. Basically, it's just so that every month in the summer has a long weekend.

I did my first Zu.mba workout dvd today. It totally kicked my a$$. I only made it through 30 minutes of the 45 minute workout before I had to stop. I also have to spend some more time watching the "Learn the Steps" dvd that came with the set, because I was terrible! My Beloved was kind enough to vacate the premesis with the baby girl for a while so that I could embarass myself in privacy.
*****
Killer bonus after my workout... the bathtub drain decided to completely crap out (it's been slow for a few days) while my Beloved was in the shower, and so I wasn't able to take a shower. Gross! We finally got the drain unclogged this afternoon (yay us!). The joys of home-ownership.

Ginny's new targets are my el-cheapo cork ikea coasters. Apparently they make great teething toys. Who knew? (Yes, they're hidden away now)

We have baby proofed the house, as much as we're going to. I have a baby gate in the hall for when I need to corral her for longer than a few minutes (she HATES the playpen now). I put locks on the bathroom and kitchen cabinets, the dangerous ones anyway. And we moved my Beloved's computer tower from the floor up to the desk. The only thing I need to figure out is how to prevent her from opening the pocket door on our storage room off the kitchen. Any suggestions?

I finally, FINALLY got around to updating the menu board on the right. Tonight's dinner was great, and I'm looking forward to sharing the recipes with you all on Friday.
--Yay you for doing the Zumba workout! I've been meaning to check it out, as many of my co-workers LOVE Zumba!
ReplyDelete--I love reading your stories about how your Wee Girl is growing...it all goes SO fast!
--Our only pocket door is the door to our master bath. Could you put a baby gate across the door jamb in front of the door, or is there not enough of a door jamb to use? The only other thing I can think of is installing a hook/eye type lock out of reach from Ginerva.
--Isn't HP only 21, not 31? I need to Google this...
--You are SO right about David Spade!
--I think my home is a cross between "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Roseanne."
Hugs!
Way to go on the Zumba workout! Even if you didn't finish, you got in a good workout! Ick to the drain, though :( Glad you got it fixed!
ReplyDeleteBaby-proofing....I can't believe she's already that big! Seems like only yesterday you were expecting her!
Btw, so glad I stopped by and saw Sock It To Me was back! Already headed over to Kym's blog and signed up =D
Good for you for doing the workout.
ReplyDeleteGinny is growing sooooo quickly.
Ohmygosh. I always made AH leave the room whenever I did workout DVD's. One time he snuck up on me while I was doing a Tae Bo DVD. Not only did he scare the hell out of me but I was mortified!
ReplyDeleteI've never done Zumba and only recently saw what was actually involved. It looks fun. Good for you for getting started!
