Never wanted to before. I think when I was younger, I was felt resentment that I could never compete in any sports when I was a kid and I was very athletic. They just didn't have anything girls could do in this area except play rec softball and with mom working that really wasn't even an option.<br /><br />I think there were several things that I could have excelled in but never had the opportunity. The only sports we had was during PE class. Watching sports stirred up those resentments. <br /><br />Now, that just getting from one place to the other is a challenge, I've gotten over it. I can achieve an aerobic heart rate just watching.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-82587366983666885662012-07-28T21:27:12.960-05:002012-07-28T21:27:12.960-05:00That's interesting Jan.

I cannot say that I blame him. He lived and breathed swimming all those years of training. John was a competitive swimmer through jr and sr HS and in college. He still swims as part of his workout but he does not enjoy getting in the water for recreation.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-35768217991812993962012-07-28T18:56:48.092-05:002012-07-28T18:56:48.092-05:00I had a surprise the other day.

All of my FB friends are family and close friends -the great majority are family as we are a big family - which includes my 3 sons, their wives and my grandchildren, my sister and her children and brother's wife and all their children. That leaves a little room for friends which includes you Carol. Oh yes, I am FB friends with several of John's family. Anyway, I noticed last week that this one woman kept showing up on my husband's daughters posts and an dear friend from HS's posts. My step daughter lives in Virginia and my HS friend lives in Massachusetts. So this one woman named Signe Friedrich kept showing up on both their posts. So I wrote them both and told them - so it turns out that my HS friend from Claremore is the mother of the friend of my step daughter. It reminds me of the movie "6 degrees of separation."janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-48022756865676136022012-07-28T17:47:49.795-05:002012-07-28T17:47:49.795-05:00Phelps was a disappointment but I wasn't surpr...Phelps was a disappointment but I wasn't surprised.

Roomie did that. I liked it better but I had changed the side of the bed that I usually sleep on. I slept on the left side when at the camp and when here before. That left the right side for Maggie. She's always had the right side.<br /><br />Since I moved back, Maggie keeps wanting to sleep on the right side. <br />Since I'm now there, she has been sleeping under the bed on the right side. I guess she is insisting on her own feng shui. I'll find out tonight since I decided I'd move back to the left side. It really makes no difference to me and it is closer to the bathroom.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-70670952075525224592012-07-28T09:39:37.371-05:002012-07-28T09:39:37.371-05:00'Interesting' that you were able to see so...'Interesting' that you were able to see some of the Yankees game Carol, didn't think it was on national feed...<br /><br />Think they picked up Cody Epley on waivers from the Rangers at the start of the season...<br /><br />While always happy to beat the red sox, it is a bit underwhelming, (but I do love when the guys hit those home runs...Curtis (a great pick by the Yankees)...grand slam...as Michael Kay always announces....SEE YA!!...<br /><br />since they are in last place & so far this year have not given us a<br />run...the rivalry is kind of flat, must exist when<br />both teams are playing well & so far the red sox just are not...<br /><br />Oh now this is a chuckle, Carol...<br /><br />"And I'll just stick with "interesting"<br /><br />since when are you shy about explaining your opinions!!!Coreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529671587520012813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-74346490645286519592012-07-28T09:35:33.982-05:002012-07-28T09:35:33.982-05:00Just finished my mowing.
