Have you and Gordy looked into opening a Retro Franchise? Or are you dead set against a Franchised Gym?

You know? I see WAY LESS decorations and hubbub this year--too many people are broke I guess. I am super stoked and excited about all the cool DJ shows and parties going on around here and the Bay, and also about seeing my family and long-time friends
I get a 4 day weekend (like TG) and can hardly wait to hang out with my family. I guess holidays, for me, is all about my awesome family and not so much about buying things. Course, everybody gets WINE and burned CDs of cool music from me! 
That's all I can afford (uh, and it costs me nothing) but no one seems to think I'm cheap since everyone loves wine and music *shrugs*I personally am excited about you and Gordy rising up and realizing some business ventures, even if it doesn't happen right away
Happy Tuesday!
hehe greatminds think a like..i was just writing how i feel like Christmas spirit is less present this year than usual.
i don't know if its the crisis..croatia has been in crisis for a long time lol
i'm also not a buying person. i prefer giving and receiving presents which mean somthing. one of my favorite presents ever was a tape of pakistani and turkish music with a made card where a friend of mine wrote me birthday wishes in svahili language and a story about me
the only thing i love to do is sending Christmas cards...it actually surprises people. lol people forgot the feeling of receiving letters and cards. all i get in my mailbox are usually bills and commercials. its so nice to get something personal for a change

We just finalized our Christmas letter last night. I alternate between a letter and cards...depends on what is going on and this year I decided we should update all the out of state peeps with what is going with the kids (six of them), our move and the expected little grandbaby...
I will address the envelopes tonight and mail them tomorrow.
Honestly, I am struggling with feelings of "Scrooginess" this year....*sigh* I'm trying my best to not be that way...but I'm already "over" all the shopping, wrapping, and holidaying. Isn't it January yet???

Hope the gym legalities work out for ya smoothly!

I do really enjoy that aspect of the holidays. That's the main reason I like it in fact. We stopped doing gift giving a long time ago. It's just silly. Spending time with family and friends and forgetting about work for a few days is what it's all about for me.
I actually took the week after Christmas off since Krista also has off then. We're going to spend the time finishing up the house.

Thanks Val!
One day at a time. Personally I'm content with Body-Improvements, lol. And it's not even open to the masses yet. We have clients. It keeps me busy. It allows me to vent my creative side of things. It's a good gig. Whatever is surmounts to I'll be happy with.

I'm with you Lena.
Frivolous spending on things people don't need for the simple sake of opening a present is just silly. I mean, I understand it with kids. I used to love receiving presents. All the toys, magic and excitement. You can't beat it.
But carrying that through to adulthood is just silly IMO.
However, if I had it my way, I'd be buying a puppy to put under the tree this year. We've decided it best to wait until summer time though; this way Krista is home since she's a teacher and can spend time with it.
Happy Holidays Lena.
I got all of that done over the weekend. Got a tree, decorated the inside and out, and now we're ready for the progressive dinner we're a part of this Saturday.

Oh that's great news--sounds like fun fun fun!
Perfect, glad to hear it--and who KNOWS what will happen.
Ugh, did you hear about this? Disgusting
Yea, I did hear about that. Terrible. That's simply not what the holidays are about and I'll never buy into that sort of fanaticism regarding holiday sales and the like.

No kidding. Makes me really disgusted in that aspect of humanity--materialism!
It's more like commercialism. It's pushed on us before Halloween and it gets really stale for me. I stopped Xmas shopping about 10 years ago. I give the gift of retail therapy (i.e., cash) for my relatives because they like to go shopping on Boxing Day. I don't. I prefer to hibernate
As for the adults, my gift is Xmas dinner. Although I don't drink alcohol, I make sure I provide a few really good vintage wines for those who like to indulge and a nice port or after-dinner libation that I know somebody will appreciate and take home with them

You know that shopping is a sort of obsession and disorder for many people. I myself have been privy to feeling bad, and going out and buying a new top and feeling better--good thing I caught myself and don't compulsive shop anymore--can't afford it!
a puppy??? how cute. i want one too i had a dog for 14 years almost...was devastated when he died 5 years ago. i still miss him. but i don't have the possibilities to own one now...which ever puppy you get is gonna love it at your place so many runnign and hiding opportunities lol
btw been meaning to ask you.
i tried finding something on the soft tissue work that i saw on your you tube channel but i didn't really find anything useful except that it is good for weight lifters. my question is how useful is that in general? what does it do?
i have a problem with my foot mainly because of the foot muscle. i have flat feet and when i walk a lot the left one starts cramping really bad and it became sensitive. i will have to wear the pads for it, but i was also told to walk on stones and larger pebbles to improve the muscle strength. since its raining and its cold for me to walk on the local beach lol i was wondering can this soft tissue work help? because it seems like it can. so i just wanted to check.
a big hug to you

Yea, it's definitely doggy heaven, the property. It's going to be a smelly dog b/c each kind I'm thinking of getting loves water. Creek water doesn't smell so good when it dries on a dog, lol.
We're considering a lab, golden retriever and a burmese mountain dog right now.
You should search for myofascial release. That's really what it is. How useful is it? Very.
Rather than getting into the details, have a look at this free ebook Mike Robertson put out this year regarding foam rolling. It's an excellent resource considering the cost (free) and he's a good guy.

Hard to say really. Have you been to an ortho or podiatrist? I don't know much about flat feet as I've never worked with a client who had it or complained about it.
Myofascial release can be considered a form of flexibility training and from what I know flat feet are caused by excessive flexibility of the ligaments and tendons that support a normal arch. That said, I'm not sure it's something that would help.
I know I have a friend who had the problem and he was prescribed orthotics that supposedly helped.

True, but in actuality, some dogs are naturally smelly and others, not so much, creek water or not. Labs and retrievers to me, don't smell that great
I think pitbulls are cooler, but that's because my dad used to have them and I grew up seeing them with friends a lot.HAPPY HUMP DAY!
