First Day of School 2018.....Not! :-)

Delran started the 2018-2019 school year on Tuesday with two in-service days. The kids start today. I am so glad to be retired and not having to worry about anything school related, but amazed to realize this is the start of my 13th year as a retired teacher (July 2006 start.) Wow.

I am finishing my tenth week of The Max Challenge and still enjoying it. I have one more month now.

Jennifer and Sue have firm plans for arriving in October for Jenn's birthday and I am delighted that they will be beginning and ending with us here so Tom gets in on the action too. The Brooklyn stay in mid-trip will be fun and Hamilton!

Tom is being very brave about his health situation(s) and has visions of exercising (but keeps a bag of candy and cakes just in case).

Ilsa, who has been dealing with my hair for 30 years (?) or more has moved to Iowa and when I got my hair cut yesterday, it was different and sad. :-(

Movie Pass is on its last legs and I miss hitting a movie whenever I felt like it and having them all ready and waiting for me at any time. :-( But I can't complain...it's been a good run...for us, not them, sadly.

As time was running out (Aug. 31 deadline), Tom made vacation with RCI plans for us in November, December, and January. We have places, but no transportation set as yet.

I worry about my eyes. Otherwise, I feel pretty good.

Fun in NYC with Dolly

My first day in the 10 week Max Challenge to miss a class :-(  but I did have almost 10,000 steps walking around NYC with Dolly today.
We had an awesome lunch for Restaurant Week and saw Waitress, which was really good.

Here are some more photos to remember our trip by: Waitress and more

Current news: Tom has been having a lot of doctor appointments...including a chiropractor, which was a big help (until he golfed today....hmmmm). Move pass is in big trouble. No word from Jennifer to discuss travel arrangements for October. Eastampton Day is coming up soon. We had a meeting and while we were outside discussing placement of vendors, games, etc. we saw a huge herd of small deer frolicking in the distance.  Oy!

Still kicking!

It's practically mid August now...omg....why is time flying?

So we did go to Jamboree in the Hills and had fun, of course.

Since then we've been to many a movie (Movie Pass is in trouble,but we have loved the trip!), I saw two Broadway shows with Louise last Saturday, Tom had two dr's appointments today with a couple past and more to come....!

Randi's pig roast is tomorrow (we are all sad it is going to be raining :-(

I am going to NYC again Wed to see "Waitress" with Dolly and it is Restaurant Week, so we are going to have an elegant lunch that day too.

There is a video of us at kickbox day today doing the punch, jab, cross, uppercut routine (we were so uncoordinated! LOL) and when she got to me I stopped mid jab and clowned around for the camera. i wish I could share the video, but it was on the private site and I can't. Here are some stills from it. :-)

Haha, right?

I really do love this program!

Still MAX-ed out

Today is the last day of Week 3 and going strong.

The party for departing (and injured) teacher Noelmarie was very touching.

  On the way home I stopped and visited Chris and Dolly at HRB in Lumberton.

We almost went to see Skyscraper, but the new $3.60 charge for moviepass which just went into effect this evening changed our mind. (We did see Uncle Drew on Tuesday, which was surprisingly entertaining).

   Today is kick boxing :-)   and then I am meeting with a SHIP client at the library (having cancelled the Human Resources building due to the anticipated Friday Noel party....).

    I can't believe we are so close to Jamboree in the Hills!

And just like that we're nearing mid July!

I can't believe I had the wrong date for Sunday night's concert in my calendar. Lucky thing I looked up something about it before we left on Saturday!

So we saw Antman and the Wasp (really good!) and danced instead.

The concert was well worth attending and we saw some Prospectors people there, too.

Today I drove up to have lunch with Gee Gee. That made three times in as many days heading up Hamilton way! (Funeral, concert, Gee Gee). Luckily, I am mid audio book and it was great having the time to listen (on the way to and from the morning Max Challenge class is working too!)

Fourth of July

We had fun at Beej's party. It was great to see Kenny and Suzie and Roxanne and Craig and Dean, as well as the hosts. The food and fireworks were amazing.

Today was back to Max (looking forward to kick boxing day tomorrow) and dancing at Prospectors.

....to the Max!

July 2, 2018-Today was my 3rd day working out and eating following the Max Challenge program that I won ($499 worth!) at Carol Feldman's Purple Night to Shine fundraiser event. It was the hardest yet, but maybe because I went to the 5 a.m. and I hadn't eaten anything since early evening the night before. 

The instructor posted photos on Facebook!

My "usual" time ..so far...has been 9:30 and I like that but I am at Contact now for the 7 a.m. shift and I have Contact book club tonight so getting up at 4 a.m. (after going to bed midnight ish) seemed best.  I like the program and people so far. :-)  I am so lucky I won it!

So....since I was finished by 6 , I hung around awhile and then went to Wawa for coffee and an apple and someone said hi and it was Bill Kutteroff! He looks the same and I was so happy to see him! 

We are going to Beej's on the 4th of July (for Michael's car's 50th birthday party and looking forward to seeing everybody!
