I’m just totally psyched on how nice it is. I know that we will be going back to rain, on and off, until July so I’m just really enjoying this.
I know that I should really go for a walk today, but kind of like just enjoying here at home. The deck goes from cool in the morning/afternoon to very warm in the late afternoon once the sun hits it. Someday I may post a pic of how private it feels now the trees have their leaves. =)
I’m enjoying it when the birds come out and squirrels. If you saw my last 2 twitterpics, one of the squirrels got pretty dang close to me. Which threw me off guard…..lol They definitely know where the food is coming from….grin
In just over a week, we are leaving for 3-5 days. We are headed down to the Red Woods in California to camp for a few days to celebrate our 12th anniversary that is actually on the 31st. But we are going down on Memorial Day. By the time we get there all the holiday campers will be gone, thankfully. There is no way we would going camping on that weekend….icks.
We will finally be using the tent and sleeping bags that we got ourselves for our last anniversary…….lol We have practice setting up the tent in the house….just not outside.
What we are having issues on figuring out is what food to bring with. Yes, the standard hotdogs and luncheon meat…fruit, but we aren’t going to live off of just that. We do have a couple of RMEs, thinking of bringing down a steak for one night…..but what is not helping is that we are bored with food in general, so figuring out camping food doesn’t make it any easier.
The good thing is that the bear boxes should be big enough for our cooler. =)
I’m so hoping for weather like we are having now, but knowing are luck…that isn’t going to happen. So we are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
This week I did pretty decent at the gym. I got up to 3.51 mile in 30min. Not getting the lasting soreness that I want, but getting little hits here and there. For example, move a certain way and I get a slight soreness in my abs…which I’m happy about. Hoping that it means that I’m getting some where even if my weight doesn’t show it (I think it is due to not eating enough fresh fruits & veggies…which I eat a lot in the summer, just not enough in the fall/winter)
I also switched my abs up. Right after the treadmill, I use the abdominal machine and I normally going on to some other strength exercises. Rotating the days between upper and lower body. Then at the end, I do a bunch of floor abs. What I did this week, is to work on the majority of my floor abs right after the abdominal machine and do one final set after my strength exercies. I’m hoping that helps on losing more jiggly around my waist.
Otherwise just been busy with work this week. I did have payroll to do. I’m totally loving the new notice setup that our tech put together. It has totally helped to levitate some of the time pressure stressed and that psychs me up….grin I’m so easy to make happy at times. =)
One thing that I really need to get myself together for work, is the online store. I really need to start spending about an hour a day adding new things to it. So I’m trying to to think of the best way of how to work that in. Which part of my work day works the best.   So I need to keep that in my focus for tomorrow.
Unless it is payroll, I avoid doing major work on Saturdays and most of Sundays now. When I do start playing catch up with everything from Saturday & most of Sunday, it is normally Sunday evening. We are usually settled in the office watching our Sunday programs and I tackle everything so I don’t have ton waiting for Monday morning. I may not get everything done Sunday night, but I do make a good dent in it.
I will say that I’m kind of worried about how much work will be piled up when we go camping. But I know that we will get connection after and before the Red Woods, enough to catch high priority stuff, but I’m going to try to avoid as much as I can and hope that it isn’t overwhelming when I get back. So the weekend before I’ll be working while getting our stuff packed up.
I have been getting annoyed with what has been going on in politics, nothing unusual….lol I don’t trust that Pelosi got briefed fully, if it came from someone in the Bush Admin, but at the same time, I just don’t trust her. I would prefer a different Speaker of the House….at the same time, I don’t want the dems to be hampered by her stupid crap. And Gingrich…he is such a hypocrite! He needs to keep his mouth shut….he did more partisan damage under Clinton then Pelosi ever did. Plus, don’t give me that “moral” shit from him….he has been divorced how many times…had affairs….Limbaugh…he is a hypocritical druggie!
These right-wing extremist….it is ok to impeach Clinton for getting a blowjob, but don’t criticize a President at war (unless he is a dem) and don’t impeach a President and investigate their admin for all the international laws they broke with torture. Hello!! We prosecuted the Japanese for that in WWII and can anyone say Inquisition? I just want to waterboard all of them and see how it feels to them….stupid asses.
Then the extremest “pro-lifers”. They are the biggest hypocrites!! Oh yes, honor President who executed the most prisoners as governor and started an illegal war, tortured and did nothing to help the poor…but he was against legalized abortion….so that makes him ok?!? I think they need to get their priorities straight on what the sanctity of life truely means. How about teaching true birth control so when pregnancy happens it is wanted? What a concept? Morons….
Well, that is my political rant……lol The Sunday morning news shows didn’t help….grin
