PAIN!!!!

Ok, I've realized over the last two days that I'm not 16 anymore! The days of doing all sorts of physical labor and not having any effects are OVER! Monday I finished staining the fence which involved countless "up & downs" on my legs. So I woke up today with sore aaaaaaaaaaaa' legs! So then today my dad and I decide to do my edging out front as a border to the flower bed and tree. So I had decided a couple weeks ago which type of stone I was going to get. The smart person I am, I didn't bring the one with me to Home Depot to make sure I got the right one. So we rented the Home Depot truck, had them put in 70 blocks and we drove home. So I joked with my dad that I got the wrong ones. THEN he's like, "Son, look at this..." I got the wrong aaaaaaaaaa' ones! BUT, things happen for a reason and the ones I got I actually like even more. They are more terra-cotta than the tan ones I originally got. It turned out AWESOME!!!! Also got some cypress mulch for the flower bed too - looks MUCH better than the crap the builder put in.

My dad is an amazing help and I've learned a ton from him as it regards landscaping and caring for your yard. I'm only a project-toddler at this point though! It's a load of fun, but I'm seriously sitting here writing this in all types of pain! My knees, legs, back, forearms, scratches, wore the crap out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hot shower and then off to the sack!

Weather

Ok, not sure about anyone else, but it needs to start getting COLD! The avg high should be like 65, but that is what the darn low has been recently. It makes Thanksgiving seem like 2 months away, when it is only a week away!!!! Wouldn't you rather be eating Thanksgiving meal with your family when it's cold outside?!? Drinkin' hot cocoa, eating pies, etc......and then snugglin' up in a blanket to watch the game. Looks like it might be shorts, cold drinks, and NO blankets this yr!!! UGH!!!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!

Weekend!!!

I can't wait for the weekend!!! Gonna be a busy weekend, but very fun. Let's see. Friday night Jen and I are gonna meet up with some of her friends (one of which is celebrating her b-day). It's off to Chili's and then bowling! Hopefully the PG and I can bowl better than we did when we bowled together. The PG and I are very competitive, so I'm sure we'll be fightin' to score the best games as a couple!!!

And then Saturday the PG has things she has to do during the day, so I'm gonna do some yardwork. I found some stone edging at Home Depot that is nearly identical to the retaining wall in the backyard. I'm going to put this around the tree, so I bet it's gonna look really nice! I can't wait to see the outcome! I wish the darn sun stayed out longer than 5pm!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes all outside tasks wait till the weekend!!! And then Saturday night we're going to Deborah's 50th b-day party!

Let's see....Sunday we're gonna do our morning walk and then finalize picks/fantasy football, then try to finish staining the fence! Then RELAX a little bit and then it's off to my folks to watch the Bills game! GO BILLS!!! However, I heard that Lynch is gonna most likely be out of the game, so the BIlls prob have 0% chance now.................BUT, I will be picking them with 1 confidence point! :)

Ok, so yep.......lookin' forward to the weekend!!!!!

SUPER BAD EATING

Ok, so some of our co-workers from Austin and San Antonio came up this week for a TX meeting. Sooooo, we all went out to dinner Wed night at HM Fireside Pies. Ate SO bad....Few slices of pizza, few margaritas, appetizers, desserts....BAD!!!!

So, then there is catered Blue Mesa for lunch today. Again, BAD!!! And then Mi Cocina was decided for dinner tonight (Thurs)....ate loads of chips and had a couple drinks. I feel like a total cow - bad bad bad!!!

I've asked the PG to steer me on the healthy path. No more crap!!!! BAD BAD!!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween 2007

Well, it was a bit disappointing as it regards the amount of trick or treaters. I think we got like 10 different groups of kids, about half of which were older kids (maybe 12-15 yrs old). There were a couple really cool little boys - one was spiderman, the other superman! They rocked!!!! Looking back, wish we gave them a ton of candy, but it was so early in the night so didn't know what to expect as far as number of children....

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO, now the PG & I have TONS of candy left over. Thankfully, most of it is gum and nerds. Also some reeses cups for the PG as I'm not all about them as much as she is. She love her some PG peanut butter cups!!! :)

All in all, it was a fun night - just wish we had more treaters!!!!!!

..........until next yr!!! BOOO!!!!
