Been awhile

Hi all,
It has been awhile since I last posted an entry in my blog. Me bad. Yesterday evening I went to our book club meeting. Maeve served garlic-butter shrimp on couscous with bread and salad. It was yummy. Well I was not the only one who didn't like the book "The Wedding" that much. Chris found parts hard to believe, also. The author was very dated in her writing. Next book club will be at Cheryl's and then its my turn. I bet it will end up at my house in December.

Andy got back from New Jersey on Tuesday. He had a short week at work. Rumor has it that there will be a few WFR's at work on Monday. He went trail running yesterday and went on a 5hr, 83 mile bike ride today! His legs are toast.

I had my last PT appointment Wed. of last week. I need to start exercising again. I want to get back into riding at CFF in the 5:45 class but I am having a hard time with this. I can get up in time and take the class but when I come home afterwards I just want to nap. I also have been having cravings for muffins and sugary type stuff in the mornings. I would like to be able to cycle at CFF at 5:45, read the paper and drink coffee until 10 to 8 and then take Maggie for a 2 mile walk. Then I want to get on the treadmill and walk for an hour while watching Regis and Kelly. I want to eventually turn this walk into a run part way. However with this strong urge for a nap it throws a wrench into my plans I thought of the night before. I need to get disciplined again.

Not much else is new. We plan on going to Tahoe on the weekend of the 26th. I think the girls will be up there also during this time. It is Noreen's birthday and Maeve's birthday on the border of August and September.
Hope you all have a good week.

We are in August now

Hi all,
I dropped Andy off at the airport Tuesday at 0500. He was headed to New Jersey to bury his Dad and take care of all the issues around cleaning out Sam's house and having it fixed up. Meanwhile I am taking care of some house issues such as getting the sprinklers working better and having the hardware in our kitchen sink replaced. I am still going to PT twice a week and I am going to try and start doing more exercise such as walking and cycling. So today I walked 2 miles with Maggie and then 3.6 miles on the treadmill. I just finished reading Stieg Larsson's book "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo". Excellent book! A real thriller. Now I want to read his other books. After that, no more Stieg Larsson reading because he died suddenly after giving his manuscripts to his publisher. Boo hoo. Nothing else really new. I am reading Tana French's new book "Faithful Place". Need to start reading my book club book because we meet August 14.
Have a good week.
