I'm doing awesome, thanks for asking.
How about yourself... what is it that you do? I know you are your own boss but I never caught what type of business.
I'm really looking forward to starting my classes up in a couple of weeks, I need a new focus!
The weather here has been really crappy for the past week, pouring rain every day... I actually love the rain... just not in August!

Doing good....
Family business. Export medical equipment to Venezuela.
I don't even want to think of classes now, I am still reeling after my bachelors a couple of years ago (I did the 15 year plan) and I am still resting. I thought I would do my masters, but with the kids and all, it's a lot harder.
Rain, where do I begin? We here call it Florida Snow. It rains in August and when it's 95 degrees F, and 100% humidity, it becomes a true sauna...
I love sleeping when it's raining, or playing a sport that doesn't require a court (soccer, football) but sleeping...ah, that's good.....
Great Avi by the way....Is that you also?
By the way, your abs hurt me when I look at them

I don't know how you tolerate that kind of humidity... I guess you get used to it I think it would kill me! I love dry heat though... sun bunny.

Another day of pouring rain... this must be 7 in a row now and it's chilly too.

No workouts this weekend.
Sorted out a new 4 day training split to start on Monday with 3 days of cardio per week.

Today is definately a snuggle on the sofa and watch vids kind of day... so off to the video store in a bit but first I wanted to give you all a word of caution about web cams...

Last night I was chatting with a girlfriend on msn and during my conversation I started to get the usual grief from Rod about being on the computer YET AGAIN!
I know he is trying to get a rise out of me so I completely ignore him and carry on with my conversation.
In an attempt to get my attention Rod then proceeds to tie me to the chair with two snake chains and two padlocks, all the while I am continuing to ignore him but am also trying to explaine to my girlfriend what he's doing.
It's starting to sound a wee bit kinky so at this point I decide to turn the web cam on him without him knowing because in reality this all looks pretty bloody ridiculous.
By the cam is on I'm already tightly harnessed to the chair whilst Rod is standing behind me laughing at me and saying 'like to see you get out of this one'... he's obviously thinking he's pretty darn clever.
He then catches his image on the web cam and thinks I am recording him, so he starts posing and flexing and goofing off behind me, I'm chuckling but still ignoring him, so seeing as that doesn't get him my full attention he then decides to flash me... completely oblivious that all his flexing, posing AND flashing is being watched online by friend!!!
Now you have to bare in mind that my husband has no clue about computers, webcams or any of the likes... I swear he once turned off my computer when I was out of town, pressed three buttons and was in a panic thinking he'd probably done something disasterous. He has seen me use the web cam to record pre-contest posing practice and therefore that's automatically what he thought I was doing when he saw himself.
At this point I'm laughing so hard I'm and at the same time trying to explain to him what he just did.
It takes a while for him to believe me and that I'm not just pulling his leg.
Needless to say he's a tad embarrassed once he realizes I am in fact telling the truth and he make for a hasty retreat upstairs taking the keys with him and yelling back down to me he's never gonna untie me... it took him quite a while to come back down with them but eventually I got set free.

Hey Britty, how's your sunday?

After putting in your new AVI, do you know you probably had every single guy who reads your journal glued to your every word for about 3/4 of your story, that's until the guy (your hubs) flashed, then every guy in the room tuned out..... Ok, I was one of them, so sue me
All you have to do is have him watch American Pie 1 when the guy is doing his thing with the webcam on..... Pretty priceless....
Well, I hope you've had a good weekend....I am so looking forward to working out on monday, I am sick about it....

Hi fantasma,
I'm good... actually nursing a bit of a headache... (don't ask me why I am playing on the computer when I have a headache! Hmmm... maybe my husband has a point! lol).
Have to admit I did like the American Pie flicks, pretty funny. Did you ever see Porky's?
I watched that when I was about 13 or 14, I can't remember much of it now but I bet it would seem pretty tame by todays standards.
I'm looking forward to starting my new workout program tomorrow... it's just unfortunate that I'll be starting off with a cardio day, it's been a while and I dare say it will be a painful (mentally speaking) process until I get back into the groove of it.
Actually, right now I'm downloading some tunes to shake my booty to... I need something to keep me distracted for 60 minutes!
Have a good one!

I sure did see Porky's. In fact I saw all the Porky's...
I was 13-14 when I saw them too, and of course, it was at a friend's house away from the parents......

I watched the first Porky's with my mum! lol
She rented it for us but didn't realize exactly what she'd got until we started watching... I twisted her arm to let me keep watching it, she made me swear not to tell my dad, but alas, he walked in during the 'lassie' scene and looked at my mum with that wtf? expression on his face.

Just got rod to tape my arms as he's been insisting lately that they've grown, I've been putting measuring off as I was hoping to have made a significant gain by the time I did... anyway I am six weeks into my off-season training and I have heard this is a great time to make gains, I was thinking if I'd gained 1/2" I'd be pretty happy... my bis are up 1" to 13.5"!
Oh yeah... I am right chipper now.

Thanks gwcaton.
Dang... now I'm all at a loss as to what to do, I was going to start this new four day split as of tomorrow but now I am thinking I should stick to the six day split hitting each body part twice per week... it's obviously working. Pah... but then when do I do the cardio? Hmmm... I know I shouldn't be trying to cut right now anyway... ah, time to rethink everything again.

Hope the headache went away!

Thanks atherjen , yeah headache went away... actually I think it was the excitement of my gains that made me forget about it! lol
Here I am now scrambling to figure out what the heck my workouts are going to be like for the next couple of months... I've suddenly become very reluctant to change things up... gonna end up over thinking this I know.
Love your new avi too!!
