59 to 66 in 30 minutes

The alarm went off this morning, and I peeked out from under the covers to see the bedroom heater reading 59F. 
Noooooooo!!!!!!
Second thought:  Why didn't I set up the coffee maker in the bedroom last night?

Thank goodness I was smart enough to wear actual pajamas and socks to bed.

Third thought:  There will be no walk this morning, so how will I wake up and warm up?

Rummaged through my entertainment cabinet and pulled out my workout DVD's - put on Reebok Step Workout (does anybody remember that - Gin Miller & the African Drums in the MTV-like setting? - still my favorite if I have to exercise inside). 

Worked out with the sound off and my iPod on until the first pulse check (30 minutes) - the temperature on the heater was at 66F (wow, guess I'm hot huh??) ;-)

Only downside is after I had to take a shower (and then get out of the shower.....Nooooo!!!!!)

This was the first year in many I sent some cards out. For years I only did digital because the cost of postage was so annoying. I got so much enjoyment from it - I'll start doing it every year (only at Christmas...I'm still a tightwad afterall..) :-)

My girls are averaging 5-6 a day right now. With Sierra here we do okay eating them (I bake with them - and I give me neighbor's daughter eggs when she comes over to visit. If I get too many I boil them up and make deviled eggs for work.

I love deviled eggs... ohhhh boy... but somehow when I make them they're not as good as when I eat them a party or picnic!

Good for you with cards. I sometimes am more ambitious with some kind of scanned family pic collage made into a card.. dunno why I haven't felt the creative juice for it ...yet.. may still happen.. !

I'd like to do handmade cards or something extra personalized next year. My friend Dawn (LJ name Sahlah) makes this hilarious xmas family newsleter every year - cracks me up.
