If you don't want to take the Chirstmas decorations down, don't. I have an aritificial, pre-lit tree and usually leave my decorations up until I get tired of them, which is usually the end of Feb. I always used to take them all down on New Year's Day because my mom always did and HATED doing it. I live in the Chicago area and Jan and Feb are the coldest, ugliest, nastiest, darkest days of the year, so why not leave up the gorgeous decorations until you are ready to take them down? We have a party around Valentine's Day with the Christmas tree still up and serve Thanksgiving dinner because my husband gets a turkey from his employer every year and we are never home at Christmas. We are known for this party among our friends and they all look forward to it.

I'm a big fan of letting the body recover. However, sometimes I find that if I'm really sore, a gentle workout helps make me less sore. I really wanted to hit the gym today, too, but the class I wanted in already was full AND had 14 people waiting in case of cancellations in front of me!!! Wow.

Yikes about the shoulder! I agree with your husband that you really should get that looked at! Something that painful really shouldn't be ignored.

I really admire how into the holidays you get. I never seem to really get into the swing of things in time. In fact, I betcha that the little Xmas tree I put up will probably still be hanging around my living room come Valentines day. Roll Eyes

Thinking of getting the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I heard it's tough.

I have that DVD! Level 1 kicks my butt! Of course, your exercise level and mine are at opposite ends of the spectrum but it has 3 levels of intensity so I'm sure you'll get some benefit from it. Grin

Thanks ladies, I'm still really liking the steamer.

Kittennoodlesoup:Thanks for letting me know that about the DVD. My husband said he'd do it with me...I just haven't gotten around to buying it yet. Embarrassed

Hair: I did buy a new faux jeweled hair comb, just like a pink one that I bought a few years ago. I was surprised to see that they still sold them. I love the way the wide teeth of the comb smoothly glide into my hair, so I got another in my favorite color, blue.

I did a vinegar rinse today and then used porosity control conditioner afterwards as my hair has been feeling pretty coated as of late. I know it's the CHI silk infusion that I use daily but it's fine until I get build up.

Purchased a bottle of Neutrogena leave in hair conditioner. It used to be a regular staple of mine, but I haven't used it in a very long time. So long that I'd forgotten how my hair behaved with it. As it turns out it was a waste. I still prefer Rusk, the brand that I switched to. Only thing is, it isn't conveniently availiable up the street like the Neutrogena is which is why I tried it. The Neutrogena works fine on dry hair but Rusk is great for detangling wet hair and it's good on dry hair too, it's a twofer. Roll Eyes

Lastly, on the hair front, I gave myself another trim today after my wash. I never trim the sides (only dust) just the back which seems to be growing (like always) faster than the sides. I didn't measure it my hair or what I took off. So, I'm not sure where I am, but my hair is more even now so I'm good.

Valentines Day: Put up my decorations on the 15th like I stated. Luckily the rose wreath (which is made of wood) is holding up over the fireplace. I wasn't sure if the heat would damage it but it hasn't.

Still not sure what we're going to do for Valentines or our birthdays but we're thinking about it.

Shopping: Lucked out and got a dress from Newport News that I'd been eyeing since perhaps last spring or summer. It was originally 89.00 but went on sale for 59.00 so I scooped it up. Hopefully it'll fit!

*crosses fingers*

Other: Saw Avatar in 3D at the movies last night. Didn't like the violence, I wish that it were a more peaceful movie. Tongue

However, the imagery was sooooo amazing, wow! Shocked

Counting down the days 'til "This Is It" is released. Kiss

I watched the Jackson brothers series, simply out of curiosity. Was a bit surprised at how they couldn't get it together. Huh

I know it's been a long time since they've performed, but for them I suppose it's not "just like riding a bike". Undecided

Gardening: My bulbs that I planted in the fall are beginning to sprout, yay!!! Cheesy

I'm so excited!

Fitness: Today was a very nice sunny day, it got up to 59 degrees. This morning when I saw the sun shining through the window, I thought it would be a nice day for a jog in the park. Being out there was wonderful! I can't wait for it to get warm enough so I can go out more often like we did last year. Anyway, I jogged 2 laps and walked 2. During the second lap, my hips began to hurt, so I walked after I completed it. The pain went away and I felt that the walking was better than nothing.

Health: Went to my psychiatrist today and she wants to ween me off of xanax or at least cut my dosage. I'm fine with that except she said that without it I will most likely go back to suffering from anxiety. Huh

I don't want that to happen...we'll see.

She made me angry when she criticized my weight. She asked (as she normally does) if I'd had any changes in appetite. I told her that I'm still watching my calories as I don't want to gain any weight. She told me that I look as though I could use a few more lbs. Angry

I explained that I lost 8 lbs since the summer and I'm proud of my accomplishment. I also stated that I'm not trying to lose anymore weight but trying to maintain and become more toned. She said okay, but I really don't feel that it was her place to make that comment. How would she have liked it if I commented on her weight?

Congrats on your bulbs! I can't wait until I have a yard so I can also plant bulbs. They're so spiffy.

It sounds much warmer where you are than here. We probably won't really see the 50's until mid March or April. And that's when you see all the people get out and start jogging!

As a psychiatrist, maybe she's just keeping an eye on it as a sort of mental health barometer? One of the signs of depression or anxiety can be changes in weight. Perhaps she just has a bad bedside manner in finding out if your weight loss is healthy or not! Huh

I'm sure our posts are ridiculously hilarious if read by others...gotta love sisters!

I'm not on FB (because my parents and every other person is!) and I don't have any sisters. I'm trying to imagine the scenario. Grin

Don't know why that makes me laugh.

That was a lovely deep blue shade you wore. I've been looking for something in that shade of blue since...I accidentally threw out a blue cocktail dress in the same color.

Some people's manners! I understand that she's a psychiatrist and perhaps she's going through a mental check list of what certain "symptoms" might be indicative of but you shouldn't have to justify your weight or shape to her and after doing so she should certainly stop commenting! Angry

I'm an ex-obese and that was tough enough. I wasn't prepared for how nasty people can be if you're slim. I'll stop before I hi-jack your journal with a long rant.

Er... then why does she want to ween you off of it? I mean, does she want to try a new medication?
