Monday thief!

Mother nature did not cooperate and dumped a few inches of snow on our little burg overnight. Apparently it was more than the plows could handle and school was therefore cancelled. Bah humbug!

It was probably a good thing, though, to find out that Kiddo's snow boots will never again fit over her ginormous kid feet. Also either the cardinals & chickadees or my not-so-subtle husband left a little hint for me this morning - an empty birdfeeder at my spot on the breakfast table. So after boiling and bleaching the hell out of my table, Kiddo and I set out on our winter wonderland adventure. Reminder to self: clear room in the garage for the car before the next big snowfall. It took about an hour to get the car cleared enough to drive. Then ventured to the feed store and got in-shell peanuts, a squirrel block, and some bird food. I was tempted to get a deer block as well, but I'd have to trudge out to the side yard and open the gate to let them in the back yard where we feed them and I haven't seen any evidence of deer around yet this fall. I definitely don't want to tempt them to cross I-75 to get a little nibble.

Then we went shoe shopping for kiddo, stopped at KFC - I know, not healthy (the grilled stuff is horrid) and met Sweetie for lunch. Continued on to the other shoe store where we finally found some suitable snowkickers and then the dollar store and back home. Filled the feeders, got out some more xmas deco, and sat down.

Oh yeah, sitting down reminded me. I started my squats this morning. I did about 38 and unlike SOME wimps, I'm only slightly sore. Maybe I shoulda pushed myself a little harder.

Ouch

Well, I did some purposeful exercise. I walked about a measly little half mile with Kiddo using the Wii and the Walk It Out game. It was fun, but my back is sore and crampy now. Whatever was wrong with my digestive system was MEAN and I'm glad it's over. I didn't realize it had taken quite so much out of me.

So, tomorrow I'll do a little bit more, and more the day after that, until I can actually stand upright and move for more than 40 minutes at a time. For now, it's knitting and reading until bedtime while hub and kid watch some Scooby Do thing they've been looking forward to. Ok, she's been looking forward to and he's gotten talked into watching with her.

Laundry will be caught up after this load. Kitchen could use some work.  It'll still be there in the morning. At least the sink is shiny and the dishwasher is doing it's work!
