Too Much Information

Back has been bugging me a bit, probably from walking home from the gym with my backpack carrying everything but the kitchen sink. So part of my workout routine today included hanging out in them massaging lazy boys at the gym. Was gonna take a selfie hanging out but I'm pretty sure taking pics at the gym is frowned upon and considering those chairs are situated right across from where management & staff hangout, I thought I'd forget the selfie. 
But here's another one I thought I might share. So maybe too much information for some but this is what going to the bathroom now looks like! Good thing hubby knows photo shop & was able to photo shop the hair off my legs. Never been a fan of shaving legs; it's kind of up there with ironing and in the winter the shaving of legs is one thing I avoid like the plague! Makes my legs super itchy and makes me want to scratch my legs till they bleed. So unless absolutely necessary no leg shaving until spring! Would appreciate any tips/secrets to help avoid itchy legs in winter! 
On another note, should have asked hubby to photo shop  me a fake tan on my legs so I actually look like I went somewheres warm this winter! 






Tried out a new route walking home from the gym. It's more scenic and off the main drag with less vehicle traffic. Thinking it might be a quicker way home, but hard to judge on a day when the sidewalks were like an ice rink. It was great to have a day or two of plus temperatures, sunshine & melting snow but when all the melted snow freezes up overnight, it creates super treacherous walking conditions. 

Came across this poor stop sign on the walk home. I reckon, a snow plow got the better of it.

These Boots are made for walking & more

Whoever invented these boot/shoe grips is a genius! A majority of my 45 min walk home from the gym today was on solid ice. I honestly don't know how I would have made it home without my priceless grips. Surely I would have taken a tumble or two or even three and who knows what I would have broken. 
Mind you even if I didn't injure myself or break any bones, I would have been terribly embarrassed lying on the sidewalk with my feet up in the air! So yes these boot grips are my new best friend & staying on as long the sidewalks remain icy & snow covered. Being fashionable will just have to wait for the spring! 
Speaking of taking a tumble, a funny thing happened to me at the gym the other day. Kind of funny for me but not for the fella who the story is about. First day back at the gym and a man hopped onto the elliptical machine beside me and next thing you know he is lying at my feet. Never had a man fall for me before!  It happened so quickly, thought he was having a heart attack but I guess he just got his feet tangled up between the foot rests. Other than a gash on his leg and probably some soreness & stiffness to come, he was fine. I'm sure his pride was wounded more than his body. Been there and done that but that is a story for perhaps another day! 


First shipment of our new appliances is set to arrive this afternoon. Keeping myself busy while I not so patiently wait for their arrival. Doesn't take much to excite this girl.
Yay my washer & dryer have arrived but Boo I won't be able to set them up yet as planned as the stacker kit didn't come in yet. Means I need to be even more patient.

And one more thing; one of our traditions in our old house was Pizza Night Fridays and that's one tradition that definitely remains Would you like a slice?
