THE DAY PLAN : I started my day with the gym and then finally completed my Module 3 and submitted it - awaiting my result with bated breath.

When I got up yesterday morning, I was not sure I wanted to go to gym.  I kinda debated it with myself in my head and then decided to go because I knew I feel much better after I've been.  I then decided to tick off another item on my October Action List and try something new at gym.  My something new was a Rebounding class.  I saw it in action for a few minutes last week and thought it would be fun.  Well it was fun and I laughed a lot because I was simply unable to get the co ordination right to do some of the exercises, but I enjoyed it immensely and I if my schedule allows, I shall be doing it again next week.  I must say - 'my alles is seer' (my everything is sore).

Some info about Rebounding in the link above :

 

NASA research found rebounding to be 68% more efficient than running on a treadmill!

 

Just 2 minutes of rebounding offers equivalent physiological benefits as: 6 minutes of running -  10 minutes of swimming and 22 minutes of walking!

 

In just 2 minutes of rebounding – the entire lymphatic system is flushed out and the white blood cell count nearly triples, providing a greater defence system to destroy cancer cells.

 

It was our monthly sistas dinner last night and yet again we went to Casa Rossi.  Norma was curious to see how it would be after the previous manager had left. 

 

Sadly, except that the food was up to its usual standard, the rest of it was disappointing.  The restaurant was very empty and had no atmosphere.  The music was insipid.  The service was slow. 

THE VERDICT : I don't believe I've ever worn denim on denim in my adult life, or at least, not that I can remember.    In my head I clearly see the pictures of Brittney and Justine in their matching denim on denim look and it kinda makes me cringe and hope I don't look as bad.  Will look back on this in a month or two and possibly shudder.  Not sure I'm wild about it, but today I thought I'd give it a try.

 

 

Sistas Dinner

As a regular reader here, you would have heard me speak about our Monthly Sistas Dinner.   My three older sisters and I get together once a month for dinner without children or husbands (only twice have others been allowed to join us and that when Marlene, Noleens friend since forever and Taryn, my daughter joined us).  

We usually take photos and at times its hysterical, between closed eyes, complaints of big hands and fringes (bangs) not behaving.   Last night was a good photo night ... lol

My two middle sisters : Lynn and Norma who are both born in 1963

The eldest, my sister Noleen, and the youngest, me

Schatz was still half asleep and shaky when he tooks my pics this morning, so apologies for the bluriness of the pic.  I am feeling in the holiday/weekend spirit so decided to wear my capris.  I find this top to be happy - the colour and the print just looks happy and I enjoy feeling happy.

Last night was our monthly Sistas Dinner.  With it being December, we gave out Christmas gifts.  I got such gorgeous gifts.  I'm hoping to get photos from my sisters soon to share.

Norma gave us each a little wooden crate filled with yummy goodies like biscuits and sweeties as well as a three piece cake set.  Its quite different and definitely gorgeous.

Noleen gave us each a wall hanging with a poem on it and a gorgeous clock.

Lynn gave us a note book (mine has an image of the Eiffel Tower on it), scarf, sweeties and hand cream.

I gave Noleen and Lynn each a pendant and for Norma I got a bracelet and I added in a little Christmas fruitcake and a minature candycane.  I also brought Christmas Crackers for us to share.  I always enjoy watching the other patrons faces ... as curious as they are about what we're getting up to as curious as I am about them :-).

While I was out to dinner I got a message from home saying that our young cat was missing.  Schatz and the kids searched the closets and he went around the garden with a torch, but she was nowhere to be found.  Luckily this morning the neighbours domestic told our Felicia that they had taken her to the SPCA - she's home safe and sound but she's such a little adventurer we're going to have to keep a close eye on her.  She's also due to be 'fixed', so we'd best get that done soonest ... however cute a little litter of kittens would be, I so don't want to fall in love with even more animals.

I guess as I need now is a Santa bag and I could look like a southern hemisphere Santa helper :0).

Happy day to you
