Yeah, I'm really not digging this COLD in Alabama...I came here to be warm dammit! I'm sorry about your window, I totally get your statement about "why don't they just work" SERIOUSLY! Ugh, cars are such a pain!

So sorry! Great job on just working through it! I get stressed when things like that happen.

Those daisies are so beautiful!

2010-01-13T06:01:25.238-06:00

Wow, between you and Debby, you've had your share of car "issues" this week. Geez. I hope it's not contagious on the blogs!

I love Gerbera daisies, too. They make me smile. I like to raise them in pots on the deck in summer. That was a really nice way to end your blog. I'm still smiling :)

There is a reason you have been successful at weight loss. You are consisent and determined. I admire that--

Sorry about the expensive window repair. My driver side window broke and if I go through a drive through, I can't order... so I think twice about going through drive through when driving my kia sportage.

Lovely daisies.

2010-01-12T18:15:02.420-06:00

What sunny flowers and I hope a comfort on an otherwise vexing day. I hate having to spend money on unfun stuff. Glad you felt better after your workout.

You win the fabulous award for making it through that start and getting your workout done. Amazing woman!

I love ranunculus, too! For years, I planned to have them for my wedding bouquet, only to give them up when I learned they'd have to come from New Zealand at that time of year.

Good for you for not ditching the workout! Hopeful...

2010-01-12T16:37:07.538-06:00

Good for you for not ditching the workout! Hopefully you didn't have too far to drive. Love your Gerber daisy pic-a favorite of mine too. I found cute cheap Gerber daisy wall hangings in my local Target's home decor dept. Very cheery to look at during this bleak January.

You get the gold star for going with the window down. Hard Core!!

2010-01-12T15:29:55.949-06:00

Ever feel like the universe is sending you every message that you should stay home. LOL You are determined! I'm hoping that Tuesday is going better? Yes?

Hey, I'm starting my C25K program tomorrow. I think Chuck may try to do the March run too. It'll be fun!

You are one determined woman! Well done on not le...

You are one determined woman! Well done on not letting anything stop you from getting in your workout!

2010-01-12T13:56:10.045-06:00

Ai that's not a good way to start a new week but I have to be honest: I had to laugh. This could have happened to me so I know how you feel. And I'm proud of you that you didn't skip the workout!

I love the flowers, brings a bit of spring into my heart.

Yuck! That is one heck of start to your day. I'm...

2010-01-12T13:40:39.149-06:00

Yuck! That is one heck of start to your day. I'm very impressed that you went to gym still. Good for you :)

2010-01-12T13:39:59.213-06:00

Loved the picture and am very fond of both kinds of flowers (and all flowers for that matter - ever heard of a flower hater? I think my ex was one).
Good that you didn't let the day stop you from exercising. The past two mornings have been very hard for me and I can't figure out why. It's not even cold here. No excuses.
My back passenger window stopped working. I need a new car but that is a long way off.
Thanks for all your great comments lately. Love the support!

2010-01-12T13:09:20.861-06:00

You don't realize how much you rely on the old car until something goes wrong. Don't you just hate spending money on something like that too?!!

Pretty flowers, I buy myself flowers all the time. They really brighten up the place.

2010-01-12T12:38:38.430-06:00

Bummer about the car. I had that happen one time in winter, too and I zipped up my coat, and put my elbow in the window and drove like I meant it to be that way LOL!

We have the problem with the back windows dropping down like that, and just took out the mechanism so the windows are locked in the up position. Our car is 12 years old and we don't want to put a ton of money into it.

2010-01-12T12:21:00.458-06:00

I have those kind of days myself! Way to stick with the workout.

I hate car trouble too. At least you have the money to fix it!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment today.

2010-01-12T11:51:38.685-06:00

What a difference a year makes - I am sure a year ago, you would have turned right back around and slid right back into a comfy bed.

Wow, that is cold for you - those are OUR Chicago temps today!

Kudos for sticking to the plan - you are my inspiration!!

2010-01-12T11:38:18.335-06:00

I had one of those Monday's too, but mine went in reverse....it was freezing out, went to work for TWELVE hours, then went to get in my car AND....

flat tire.

Mr. P had to come fix it in the cold dark. bummer.

2010-01-12T11:30:40.844-06:00

Do you have a GM car? My window mechinisms are forever breaking - I have never had one break in all my years of driving. I was told they use plastic parts which either freeze and break or get jammed and break - at the moment my back passenger window is not opening! Need to get it repaired!

Talk about powering through something - holy moly Shelley!

2010-01-12T10:11:01.077-06:00

I love the thought of the car window getting exercised at taco bell- that made me chuckle.

Lovely flowers.

2010-01-12T09:09:29.454-06:00

Neither rain nor sleet nor....

You are totally awesome. I would have had a total meltdown over the vehicle issues. And I do mean total. I am very sorry about the repair bill - that sucks! But your attitude is fabu!

2010-01-12T09:00:33.473-06:00

Isn't it great how exercise can do that for us! Hope today goes more smoothly for you:)

2010-01-12T08:56:47.679-06:00

I had the same day last week. I'm so over the cold.

I used to have a broken driver side window and I swear, I never went to a fast food restaurant. I would never want to be the fat girl actually walking into the restaurant so I never did. I started frequenting them again after I got a new car and worked in the burbs. I would disconnect it myself if it weren't for things like airport parking and the occasional "officer my window won't roll down I'm going to have to open my door" :)
