No folks I’m not talking about oil here, I’m talking about this little baby…

COFFEE!!! Why does this stuff taste so darn good in the mornings??? I love tea also, but my day has to start with coffee. I didn’t drink coffee really until I lived in Kansas near my grandmother. It was our morning ritual to have some coffee with sugar and milk in it (I call that baby coffee and it’s really the only way I drink my coffee). I drink a couple cups of this maybe three if I’m home for the day and not working and then I switch to tea. But this is what I need to start my day!!! Some experts tell ya this stuff is bad for you and others say it’s good for you…I think if you want a good life you stop listening to experts and listen to yourself…your inner you…and my inner me agrees with me that this is good stuff!! :-)) HAHAHA!

PIcked up the Captain last night at 11:30PM and got to bed around 12:30AM, the pups were kind enough to give me an extra half an hour this morning so I got to sleep until 6:30AM and then we headed out. The farmer has cut his field down so we can now walk in the field which is great because I’m really scared to go too far into the woods these days because of all those cute woodland creatures with the long legs and big horns…So I took the three pups with me into the field and we walked toward the forrest and then up into it just a bit and then down the road and into another little forrest I’ve been taking them in almost every day. It was a good 45 minute walk and I worked up a little sweat and certainly woke up more then I was when I first started, so I guess it’s what you could call a healthy start to the day.

My new lifestyle is going great also. I’m still struggling with the food slightly…I think I’m a grazer..so I’m just trying to provide healthy snacks to graze on and it’s going to be fine. Exercise wise, I worked on Wednesday and Thursday and so didn’t get time for a workout at the gym so I took the dogs for a long walk. Yesterday I went with my friends to the gym and did a corebar class which is actually a lot of fun. I just have to remember to stop wearing white t-shirts because I sweat so much and well…it becomes pure wet t-shirt contest type conditions which isn’t a contest I would have won, so I might as well stick with dark coloured t-shirts..hahahaha..

Busy day ahead, kids have various activities they want to do, the biggest is to go to this “fair” type thing going on in Hamar with rides and concerts and such.

Perhaps Stig and I will take the pups for a walk around Koigen which is a strip along the lake in Hamar that leads to the domkirke in Hamar. A very nice walk..

I hope whatever you all decide to do this sunny Saturday you’ll have a great day! I know I will!! :-)) See ya soon…
