Snow Shoveling Workout






Good Morning All,

I got up this morning with the intentions of going to the gym to weight lift.  I walked outside into a winter wonderland.  I live in a condo so we have snow removal services; however, they only do common areas and not a good job.  So at 5:40AM this I was removing snow from my car and making a path for my husband's car (he was at work) and my daughter to walk Nutmeg.  I had the intentions only cleaning off my car and going to the gym.  I didn't make it to the gym.  I cleared out my two parking spots, two of my neighbor's parking spots and sidewalks for my daughter and Nutmeg to walk.  I didn't have to go to the gym because it was a workout shoveling snow.  I didn't go inside my house till about 7:30AM.  Almost two hours shoveling snow. I felt great.  I could of stayed longer; however, I didn't want too because you have to be careful of shoveling snow when you are a certain age.  I workout and I think I am in good shape.  Anyways, I went in the house and had a clementine and began to take off my clothes to get in the shower.  I was itching all over.  I broke out in hives on my legs and thighs.  There were big welts on my thighs and I couldn't stop itching. The hot shower didn't make it better, it made it worse.  It was like my skin was thawing out.  Never again.  I think I need to take a Benadryl.  Now, as I am watching the news, the weatherman was saying that you should wait to shovel the snow, because the temperature is going to melt the snow anyway.  Go figure.

Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...
