Hi all
Been terribly AWOL for several days now so am waaayyy behind in all the news
Belated
for you
Lynn I don't think there is anything I could say that would make things any easier so here's one more
instead.
Gosh
Glynne I'm so sorry to hear about the lost kitty. How far did they move? If it's not too far maybe you could check in their old neighborhood. Sometimes kitties decide they want to go "home".
Scallop diving
Karen3? Do you really dive for your own scallops? Not sure if I could do it - tried snorkeling when we were in Hawaii a couple of years ago but my hind end was a little too *ahem* bouyant, and I couldn't get it to stay under. Every time I tried to dive a little it would pop back to the surface pretty much on it's own. Must have been quite entertaining for the folks still on the boat
I had THE most lovely weekend - took MIL back to California (no, getting her back home was NOT the reason it was so lovely. Well, maybe a little
) She lives with SIL#1 in Laguna Niguel which is on the coast less than 2 miles from the ocean. In fact, in Orange County, they have all kinds of walking/bike paths through the hills. One goes right past their house and you can walk all the way to the beach - so we did
I swam, I hiked, and I even went bowling! Haven't done that in at least 20 years - and I bowled like it had been 20 years too. I have a huge bruise on the side of my thigh where I whacked myself with the ball - talk about Fat Smash! But it was such fun DH and I may think about taking it up as a hobby. Of course DH was his usual, annoyingly athletic self and bowled something like 150 with such great form that someone invited him to join a league! Bit far to travel once a week though
Ate
nothing but good stuff while away (and in moderation too
) but got home to an empty fridge (I never shop before going out of town even just for a day or two - I'm convinced that the food feels abandoned and spoils 10 times faster when no one is home
) so had to improvise a little on food for the day at work. Lucky for me there is a Super Wal-Mart that is open 24 hours right on my way in. Finally going to try out Laughing Cow cheese.
All that activity must have kicked something into gear because the scale seems to have budged a bit
I'm sure looking forward to getting completely back into my regular exercise routine now that I have the house (and my time) to myself again. My Weimaraner (who truly is the Paris Hilton of doggies) is happy to be back to normal too - she considers the guest room to be
her room and, because MIL was worried about dog hair, Blu didn't get to go in there the whole time MIL was here. She spent the entire time flopping down in various places around the house groaning, rolling her eyes, and sighing heavily - the dog not MIL
Better go do something constructive. Happy Canada Day to our friends up north!
