Ola...
It's been quite a week, hasn't it. Loving this bit of warmer (notice I didn't exactly say WARM) weather that we've been having.
Here's the poop..
Went away with Bill at the beginning of the week and lounged around watching movies, finished the puzzle, ate out, made chili and was just generally pretty darn lazy. I did attempt skiing on MLK day but it was -1 at the base, so imagine the ride up the chair lift. Think windburn and severe headache and your nostrils frozen. Not fun.. I did one run and ran for the lodge. Haven't had much luck with the ski scene this year.
Bill and I joined the gym again. It's a wonderful (but yes expensive) club that has raquetball, a pool, classes, weights, yoga, pilates, a juice bar, fancy bathrooms with steam and sauna.. I'm sure you can picture it. We bit the bullet and will make sure that we go. After chatting with cousin Kathy last night, we both agreed that the benefits of exercising are worth the payment, right ? right! So I went last night and will be leaving as soon as the bloggin is done.
My kids have been with Grandma and Grandpa Tringali all week and are having a fantastic time! They won't want to come home. I'll admit that it has been a lovely break, and I forgot how easy it is to just care for yourself.. wow, it's easy! They come back on Saturday.
Jessica is having a boy!!! I'm so so so so excited. I was secretly hoping for a little boy since the last two babies in our family were girls (who are now 6 and soon to be 4) so we are all looking forward to a little one to love.
I can't believe how much I am looking forward to Spring. I think I might have that Seasonal Affective Disorder thing because I have just been in doldrums.. I'm not made for gray skies :).
Dad starts his FINAL (I sincerely hope) chemotherapy treatment next week and is really looking forward to being done with all these appointments and being able to just be himself for awhile. He's very brave and I'm ever so proud of him. Mom deserves KUDOS for taking such good care of him and putting herself last.. Spring is coming.
Well, that's it for now. Over and Out.
