Love the skirt! And no thank you on the deer meat pizza ;)

Hot flashes like that are the worst! I started them sometime in my mid-forties and still have them though they have trailer off in severely and frequency. But at their height when I was 47 they seemed close to constant and were almost unbearable. I actually get slightly sick to my stomach just before I start to get hot. I have only heard that from one other woman. I never took hormones because at the time they were thought to be dangerous for your heart. Not true today and my hot flashes might have been less if I took them but also my bones would probably be stronger now.

DH has a gym habit too, but doesn't work his body as extensively as you. He spends most of his time on the elliptical, then some on lifting weights. He needs to add core work but can't seem to work that into his habit.
Good luck on getting the shoes. We went to Disney World once when it rained torrentially the entire time we were there. Huge, deep puddles. We all had flip flops on which turned out to be the best shoe because people in sneakers were squishing water all over the place.

Nice nails Liz! I'm living this FL weather so far but am surprised how chilly the mornings and evenings are. I actually have to sleep with socks on and a good weight blanket is on the bed as it feels so cold!
Pretty relaxing day today. DH and I walked the VRBO neighborhood, spent a lot of the day pool side, drove around the community we will be moving in to and checked out another tiki bar restaurant for dinner. Drinks were better at tonight's but the one we went to the other night had better food. They are literally 2 doors down from each other, so we could always do drinks at one and eat at the other. I guess both have live music often.
Tomorrow we are going to check out a church and then have our final walkthrough late afternoon.
I've been ordering patio furniture, a makeup vanity for the master bedroom, and some decorations for the house. More to come but I need to measure spaces first!
I like the nails a lot Liz. Years ago I used to get acrylic nails, and while they were pretty, I agree they were expensive and time consuming. I did not enjoy appointments because they were so booooring. Pedicures I like, but manicures are tedious.
But now I see I am an outlier in our group. I LOVE pepperoni pizza. But I'm also happy with just cheese, or a veggie pizza. Just no sausage please.
Yes, today I tackled the fridge. It looked pretty good in that I didn't really need to throw out stuff, but the interior and handles needed a good scrub down. Doing more laundry, and I also found a basket of clothes that currently fit my Mom crammed in a closet in the guest room. I sorted through it with her, and folded the ones she wanted to keep and put them in the rotation with the other clothes she wears.
It's been two long, long days. I'm hoping my Dad is back by 4pm tomorrow. I am using my disassociation skills to remain kind of numb and teflon. Last night my Mom woke me up 3 times to help her with things like she couldn't get her blanket over her feet, she was thirsty, and she wanted an orange. She doesn't really sleep for more than a few hours at a time.
That's all the news from here. Looking forward to my house tomorrow.
Fun picture of you Diane! And yes, final walk through tomorrow and closing and move in on Monday!
Those hot flashes can be miserable! My worse ones are at night and I'm whipping covers off so fast!
I have to say again, that haircut/style looks really great. The skirt is indeed fashion forward!
