Well hello everyone! It sure has been a long time since I posted, hasn't it! I thought I got my blog up and running at just the right time... meaning that school was coming to an end and SURELY I would have lots of time to post... HA! Was I ever mistaken!!! I'm wondering now if I will EVER have "lot's of time to post!"
So the week after school got out the kids were involved in VBS and soccer camp. The following week we left for our family vacation to the beautiful island of Maui! We spent a week there (will try to post some pictures) and then went to Ohau for a few days.
We returned home 24 hours later dropped the kids with my parents so that Jim and I could celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary in VEGAS BABY! We had a blast! I had a fabulous day at the spa and we went to see "Love," the Beatles Cirque de Soleil show. We've seen a few of the Cirque shows and this one definitely tops the list. We also attended the Regeneration Tour! Now don't go making fun... if you're a product of the 80's you know you would've went too! We had fourth row seats to 4 concerts in one: Missing Persons, The Cutting Crew, Wang Chung and ABC. We danced the night away for sure!!!
Maybe a little too much dancing though, because the next day I developed a pretty severe backache and had to lay down with seat ALL the way back during the long drive home. It didn't help that I was developing a cough either (which later turned out to be bronchitis) so after a week and a half of visiting the chiropracter every day, I decided to see my orthopedist who took a bunch of xrays and sent me in for an MRI. I won't get the results til Wednesday. BUT, since he put me on muscle relaxers and steroids, I am feeling better... I am even starting to walk upright again! For those who know me well, I have had back pain on and off for the last 15-20 years. This time it felt different. This time I felt completely incompacitated. This was a pain I've never experienced before. My doctor thinks I herniated or ruptured a disc. I have no idea what that means, and until I see him again on Wednesday I don't even want to think about it!
So, all that being said I had to cancel my plane trip to Wisconsin and miss my cousins wedding, cancel our trip to the ranch where we were FINALLY going to camp with our good friends the Sullivans, cancel my hair appointment because it's impossible for me to lean back and put my head under the bowl, and worst of all I had to cancel my training sessions... and with only three weeks left in my fitness challenge I am now going to be flabby AND gray haired for my final photo before the judging... I have a feeling that prize money is going to be just out of my reach!!!
Oh well, c'est la vie! At least with all of my "down time" I was able to work a bit on my website... YAY!!! I believe I have fixed a few of the bugs, worked out the shipping details, and I also added more cards. Be sure to check it out and see what I've been working on.
Now that we're all caught up I can keep future postings brief. Next up will be "Christmas in July"
I'm working on Christmas cards and will post a new card every day for the next 5 days... it's not too early to start thinking about the holidays you know!
