Wow time flies! I started my vacation on July 30th and tonight I go back to work. I can hardly believe the time has gone by already. I had a wonderful time off. The August long weekend we went camping with our best friends. We all had a great time. The park was so clean and the sites were big. The beach was wonderful as the kids could walk out forever without it getting deep. The playground was a 'participaction' park so all the equipment doubled as fitness equipment too.
We then came home for a few days and had our beautiful God daughter stay with us for the first time in years. It is so nice to have them living close by again! We had a good week with her too.
That Friday (Aug 6th) we left for my family reunion. Another fun weekend! My kids are both old enough now that I can let them run free in the park without having to worry about them. Plus the reunion books half of the campsite so everyone watches out for everyone's kids. Friday night was setup and a corn roast, but my monkeys are always too tired to stay up for the corn roast. Saturday is visiting, the kids games, horseshoe tournament and then the BIG supper. This year was fish and deep fried turkey! Yummy! We also went to my husband's family get together for a few hours that afternoon. Neither of us play horseshoes so it was good timing :) Sunday is the pancake breakfast and taking everything down and packing up and the toonie tosses for both adults and kids. Then the meeting for next year's reunion. It ended up raining during packup and breakfast so we decided to head on home. It was a great time.
The next week we ended up staying at my in-laws and helping get ready for my husband's other side of the family get together. His cousin was visiting from BC with her son who had just turned 1 (and we hadn't met yet) She also surprised everyone with the news she was pregnant again!
Finally we returned home the Saturday night. It sure is nice to be home again. I spent all day yesterday doing absolutely nothing. Well except for digital scrapbooking. I am almost finished to last Christmas lol so not too far behind! Today I went back to the gym. Oh how good that felt! I also checked my weight and I haven't lost, but haven't gained either!! Which is a miracle with the fact that I only went to the gym2-3 times in the 2 weeks and didn't bother keeping my eating in check a whole lot either :P I plan to start the Curves eating plan next month to give me a boost. Another nice surprise I had today was that while I knew that last month I had lost 3.5 pounds and a few inches I hadn't realized just how many inches.........drum roll please.......9.75 inches!!!! Holy Moly!!! It will be interesting to see how that works out this month since I haven't been doing much, but as long as I don't gain pounds or inches I will be happy!!
Well I guess I had better start getting ready for work. While I knew this day was coming I was still hoping to become independently wealthy!! LOL Oh well, I do like my job, I just don't like going to it :P
Cheers!
