Week of January 12, 2009

Well week one is done and even with the flu I did all the training, a bit slower but all is done! Everyone has been so supportive, Megan has matched me kilometre for kilometre and Margo has been out with me, even Ernie has jumped on the treadmill and come outside walking with me. No one has any interest in seeing me fail! This is the best feeling ever!

Come on Babe of course you are not going to fail, not the Laurie we have all got to know and love!!
Keep positive and you will get there.

How are you doing, preparing for your big dive back into Lighter Life? I'm doing slimfast with Margo, I thought what the heck I have half a container and nothing but time! We curled last night, it took us almost 3 hours to curl one game, should take 2! Not sure why it took so long??? I am really enjoying curling with these ladies, they are a great bunch! Next year the person I'm replacing will likely be back and I'll be looking for a new team, but at least I'm really learning about curling. It's like golf, you just have to get out there and do it to get better at it! Plus it is great exercise, cause we really sweep!

I want pictures!!!! You will be beautiful for sure but I have to see Mr. Dave in a bow tie! Enjoy and act all classy, tell Dave to drink his beer from a wine glass that way he'll look the part! Are you guys still thinking about coming back with us. Cause if you need to work some of the time when we are there, please do it if it will mean that you can come over. Simone will be ready for a visit by then and so will all your friends here.
