Naa... not on a cruise. Although that would be a grand place to be right now!!!!!

Let's see... what have I been doing lately? We left for the border Friday night and drove down to Smithfield, stayed the night there, had oatmeal from the Cracker Barrel while the guys ate pancakes . Spent the day at South of the Border where I received a terrible sunburn on the back of my neck... was wind blown and covered in pollen but had a great time!! For the record, there was nearly 200 mustangs there which I thought was a pretty good turn out considering the nasty(and I mean nasty) wind!!

So we left there about 5:00. Drove back north for a while, ate some dinner and then hit the road again. Somewhere along the way, TOM decided to make his appearance. I felt fine but was exhausted just as I had been for the entire week before. So handsome hubby decided it would probably be a good idea to stay in Smithfield again. So we grabbed a room at the same hotel we had stayed in the night before. Went over to the outlet mall(oh la la!) looking for some running shorts that I never found... bought a couple of tops though. Hit the Cracker Barrel for dessert(YUM!!!!) and then called it an early night.

TMI ALERT!!!!
I woke Sunday morning feeling as bad as I had ever felt due to TOM!! Ever have those months where you're all crampy, clotty, have to stay 'very' close to the restroom and your legs have that weird numb type feeling???? That's how I was! Needless to say the ride home was lots of fun... Monday was pretty much the same way, so I skipped my PT. Then Tuesday was of course tax day and I had a few stragglers come in. Filed an extension for myself(joy, joy!) and went to car club. Today has actually been pretty normal.

Meanwhile, I've watched my weight do all kinds of crazy things this past week! My average daily gain(before bed weight) is anywhere between 2 and 3 pounds. Monday night I went to bed weight 9 POUNDS more!!! All but 1 of them was gone by lunch time today. This is what sodium coupled with TOM does to me... Crazy stuff I tell ya!! The only upside to all of that extra weight is that my clothes are still fitting the same way so I know it's not real weight. As a matter of fact, even though I've only lost about 10 pounds in the last 3-4 months, I've had more people comment on my progress in the last few weeks than ever... go figure!

Poor Eddie's bday was Monday(he always gets the short end of the stick since it's the day before tax day!)... I had a few things for him but the main gift I ordered the end of March still has not arrived! Then he had to cook dinner as I felt so poorly...

Then to top it all off... my dang Orioles have gone from 1st to 3rd or 4th in the AL East... ugh!!

So anyhow, I'm sure you regret asking now! But all is good... the weather is suppose to warm into the 70s by the weekend which is good as I'm dying to get some yard work done!

Maybe I should make a deal with the devil then...

Well if you ask CC, she would probably say I already have! (in here anyway!)

Hey Miss CZJ, you're back girl!

Hey, when you've finished in your garden, do you want to come and do ours?

We've given up... gardener with chainsaws coming next week! Too many projects on the go...

No way, Jose'!!! I actually hate working in the yard! I jump in there once in the spring... once in the fall... pull all the weeds, replace the flowers, prune the bushes... then let it go! Two days max!!

Oh! I also took the pups to the groomer today. Well, 3 of them anyhow. Anyway, Lexi... the red Pom received her very first shave today!! Ethel asked if I wanted to shave her, said it would keep her from having to shed all that baby fine fur... so why not???? Here are her before and after pics! Eddie walked in and literally yelled wanting to know what I did to his dog!! Needless to say, Britt was unimpressed as well but I won't have to deal with her shedding this year!!!!! She is pretty funny looking... sorry for the lack of a decent before pic, I'm a bad fur-mommy!



After... yes, that is her fur! It's snow white underneath!!

Welcom back Anissa.

Sorry you had such a crappy TOM this time and I'm sure being on the road really sucked.

Cute puppies! Lexi looks like she is wearing a white sweater! Still cute though!

Enjoy your gardening!
