I opened a few windows and the fresh air boosted my energy and I put it to good use to purge a few more areas in the house and organize the garage sale pile in the basement. We have one last pile of mom's stuff and a few big ticket items, i.e. bunkbed, recliner, stereo equipment, tools that we ARE getting rid of this spring. My sister was suppose to finish bringing her stuff over this weekend, but surprise, surprise, it didn't happen.
FRED arrived Friday on my doorstop. For those of you wondering what FRED is, it stands for For Really Easy Design. It's a tabletop easel type holder for scrapbook pages. My neck and shoulders get really tired and sore "craning" over my pages when I work on them. FRED will keep your pages at an angle utilizing a metal board and magnets. I bought two of them because I do, do two page layouts.
Friday, I had to run up to Ankeny to get pet food and meet Laureen for lunch and I stopped in to Michael's. I had a 40% off coupon and I found the perfect storage tote for FRED, in pink....how about that?
I used it all weekend and just loved it. I love how I can use the magnets to "glue" everything down to see if I like what I doing, then lift the metal board off of the wooden easel to permanently glue everything down. The angle is MUCH easier on my neck and shoulders. Now if you didn't have a large work table, two FRED's might be a problem, but as you can tell from my photos, work space isn't an issue for me.
Went for a nice long walk this morning. It felt good to get out and do that. I haven't been to the gym in over a month. I used the weather as an excuse. My goal this week....either a 30-40 minute walk or a 30-40 gym session three times.
Fred is doing really week in the wellness program he joined at work. He is down 15 pounds and is learning portion control....I just wish I could learn appetite control...LOL!

Yay for Fred and FRED! 15 pounds is great (darn those men and their ability to shed pounds easier than women!) And FRED looks way cool. Glad you're liking using that/him/it.
Hope your sanity stuck around for today, blech. 2 hour delay in Ames, so no preschool for Christopher AGAIN!
Well, glad the FREDs are working out. I'm putting them on my list of things I want :)
WTG on your workout today- it's hard to motivate yourself, but worth it. And how awesome that Fred's seeing such great results from his efforts- hooray!
Hey, I ran into Cheri and she told me about FRED! What a great concept, and FRED is very stylish, too!
