as you can see on the sidebar,....

...not only didn't I exercise in Springfield, but my little vacation seems to have been extended. I have such a huge problem with motivation! But, I'm bound and determined to end the vacation this evening. I'm going to do my fave workout video, this dance one with Denise Austin. It's so fun! Wish me luck as I attempt to get back on track...

Patty O. said...: Good luck, Ames, you can do it. It is so tiring sometimes, isn't it? But, well worth it. Sometimes I don't realize how much exercise has helped me, but tonight as I was roughhousing with the kids (jumping on the bed, etc.) I realized I wasn't even out of breath. That floored me and made me glad that I exercise regularly. Not that I don't take a break, but the overall trend is good..... YOu can do it!; September 19, 2007 at 7:37 PM

There was once an actual salamander in my Dad’s slipper (His house is in a rather wooded area and is a haven to many non-human creatures.), and my best friend and I thought that would make a great children’s book title. We never wrote the book, but I figured I might as well put the catchy phrase to use as my blog title. Why not? (We don't know for sure if it was really a salamander vs. some other kind of lizardlike creature, but we were going for the alliteration. Artistic license, ya know?)
