Corset Cookies for.....Cliff?

So now that I'm out and about, I've started Cardio Rehab. What's that you ask?
Well, its like the gym,  but with lots of nurses who stick wires on you to monitor your heart rate.

No...the nurses don't wear the corsets.

They wear regular workout clothes.

But they are adorable.

Fun and chatty and happy and upbeat.

They make working out a pleasure.

And they are all rock stars in their own way...

Patty just ran the Boston Marathon,
Karin's son has the same teacher that my son had! (and she is one on our favorite people in the world...Hi Mrs. Potter!)
Hillary has a similar last name as mine... which means we have TONS of silly cultural things to chat about.
Teresa is just plain lovely and always lifts everyone's spirits.
(There are even more ladies behind the computers watching our hearts beat!!)

(again with the corsets....what's with the corsets!)
Well, its a motley crew of exercisers at Cardio Rehab.
Mary and I (Mary has 8 great-grandchildren!) try to stick together on the Nu-steps. Before Mary gets there, I have some time on the treadmill and Cybex machine.
I have a GREAT view of all the older gentlemen that come to class.

They are a wild bunch.

Quite lively for men that all have some sort of cardiac issue.

How lively you ask....

This was my view from the treadmill last week...

Yup.

I'll be sad when my time here is done.

Next time I'll try to get a picture of the guy with the naughty socks.

On the other hand...I think a few of them are single.

Anyone have any frisky grandmothers who could keep up with these guys?

How to embarrass your tweenage son

So, I decorated these cookies late one night. 

Not a whole collection, 

just a couple.

I was doing some corsets for a bachelorette party and wanted to try something different.

I left them out to dry on the kitchen table, and went to bed.

The next morning was a school day.

I always try to send Ethan downstairs first, before his little brother, 

so that he can get his books and lunch together 

without a tornado spinning around his ankles.

Needless to say, I completely forgot about the half-dressed cookies

I left on the kitchen table....

...where he makes his lunch as soon as he gets downstairs....

AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

What The Heck!!!!

Not only was his eleven-year-old self completely mortified...

I'm reasonably sure he's convinced his mother is a freak.

Cookie Couture!

So if you have a new bag, and new sparkly shoes, you must have a new dress to go with them!

A little one shoulder number would be perfect for New Year's Eve!

Oooooooh, the perfect ensemble!

It comes in other colors as well!

I like the girly versions too, for a little less formal affair.

All joking aside....I really would be thrilled if these showed up under the tree.

Don't forget the bow!

Summer Vacation!

Lizy has been so very busy, that Lizy is getting dizzy!

It's been a fabulous summer so far.

Lots of time at the pool, seeing friends and family, trying to explain to my kids that I will turn on the oven to bake cookies, but not to make dinner....

I've had lots of fun orders...I think this is my favorite so far!

Corsets!!!!

Green ones too!

I've been waiting for a naughty cookie order.  These weren't over the top, but still hard to explain to the tweenage boy.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

I'm officially taking a blogging break for August, but I'll be back when school starts in September!!

See you at the pool!
