I have 6 grandchildren. Five boys an one girl. All under the age of 10. If you are a social person, (I’m quite shy) then Curves is a good place to go. I think that’s why the regulars keep on going. I have to tell you, you most likely will not see “skinny little things” prancing around in Curves. They seem to cater to a more mature woman. Perhaps it might be a good distraction for you.lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-32459655386311918362014-05-07T23:34:17.391-04:002014-05-07T23:34:17.391-04:00We have a curves in our town and I have often thou...We have a curves in our town and I have often thought of joining but you just talked me out of it.

And I can't even begin to get started talking about teenage girls right now since I have one at my house that is causing me chest pains...Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406717262345866373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-59430171269701724992014-05-06T19:53:32.352-04:002014-05-06T19:53:32.352-04:00I know, right.

He/she lives in the catch basin across the street from our house. <br />When I first heard the conversation about the prom dresses, it reminded me of how “important” prom matters are. Even though it was a long time ago, I still can recall the excitement of it all. <br />I think Curves promotes the social angle. I can sort of understand the theory. It’s like having a group of work out buddies to motivate you. But, for some of the women socializing is the main focus. lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-7554643994222115132014-05-06T02:13:20.155-04:002014-05-06T02:13:20.155-04:00I recognize those women you describe at the gym. ...I recognize those women you describe at the gym. They suck the fun out of life. What should be a time to destress becomes a cause of anxiety. It's hard enough to get up the motivation to go to the gym.

I have a hectic life and gym time is my quiet me-time. I have avoided the classes, especially after I heard one group loudly discussing the "joys" of living in a care home and another group that was literally trying to persuade someone that life was still worth living.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-86493073760354864712014-05-06T00:15:06.002-04:002014-05-06T00:15:06.002-04:00Is that a beaver in the picture?

Believe it or not, she and I hooked up, she took my daughter's two gorgeous, like-new dresses and her daughter tried them. They both fit and she chose one and the mom was delighted with my price of $75. Win-win! And about that guarantee of no two girls at the same school having the same dress, it doesn't always work! The girls at our school started a Facebook page to show a picture of their dress to help make sure that no two had the same. That's how we discovered that my daughter and another girl had the same dress and that Dillard's hadn't managed to log both of the girls' dresses from our very small school. We exchanged for another dress and the crisis was averted!<br /><br />Also, maybe I need to get my hair done! I'm feeling a bit squishy too.Fancy Rancihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724462712069515901noreply@blogger.com
