Post Memorial Day

What a fabulous weekend!

I took Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off and it was fabulous! I got tons of stuff done around the house and, of course, plenty of R and R. We saw two movies at the theatre, The DaVinci Code and See No Evil. The DaVinci Code was OK, not that much better than the book. See No Evil was just your basic slasher/horror movie - entertaining but nothing special.

I spent a lot of time working outside, workin' my tan at the same time of course. I planted 4 Colorado Blue Spruce, 3 Azaleas, and killed weeds. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yesterday, I grilled a big juicy steak, 3 chicken breasts, chicken wings, shrimp, and corn on the cob - delicious!!!

My next big projects will be to plant 30 Privet hedges, turn the front lawn into an actual "grass" lawn, and add some privacy lattice to the bottom of our deck in the front. All of this should keep me busy throughout the summer.

I started, today, on my third week of my exercise routine. So far so good - I am actually starting to enjoy it. Right now I am doing situps, pushups, and 30 minutes on the treadmill (walk-run-walk). It's going good too since my weird weight gain has plateaued, that is, I am no longer gaining but I'm not losing either. I think that I am at the perfect weight now (180), if I could just maintain that I would be a very happy person.

Work is crazy - lots of deadlines which translates into lots of extra work.

That's all for now - good night to all of my fans!

Too long!

OK, I know...It's been waaaaaayyyyy too long!

So much has happened since my last post.  I have been extremely busy between school and work; this past week was my first chance to really catch a breath.  I graduated from ABTech last Friday and I am now officially a college graduate!  I now have an Associate in Science degree and will begin taking classes at UNCA in August.  As you can tell, I will have the summer off which should give me some badly needed relaxation time and more time to spend with my honey, Joe.

I started exercising this week.  My goals is to exercise at least 3 days per week, running on our treadmill for 30 minutes and doing as much sit-ups and push-ups as I can.  Maybe one day I'll have a real hot bod that I wouldn't be ashamed to post a picture of - hehe :-).  I also ordered this new undershirt that I am going to try to help my skin.  It's called Under Armour and it is supposed to be better for your skin than 100% cotton.  I'll post on how that turns out.

I mentioned previously that I graduated last weekend (high honors & phi theta kappa).  Well, my brother and his girlfriend also graduated last weekend as well.  We had a nice family get together last Saturday with my Mom, Dad, aunt, uncle, and 3 brothers.  It was a nice couple of hours and good to see everyone together.

Lot's to come - I promise this time that I will try to post more often.  Should be a fun summer upcoming with lots to share - stay tuned!
