In 10 days I am getting married. I am so excited, I have officially passed the being able to sleep stage. Too happy.
I cleaned the whole house today. And did lots of laundry. We are working very hard to not spend much money since we have giant things coming up that will require money, so I should be able to spend more time cleaning, but somehow I always do something else.
Tomorrow should be the second day (in three weeks) that the weather will be nice enough for the outdoor swimming, so I am thrilled with that! It is SO much nicer than swimming inside. Also tomorrow I need to mow at my parents house again. They have been in Italy for a long time and finally get home Wednesday.

Overdue for an Update
I just have had so much going on that it seems overwhelming at times to update!
Life is so good, and moving so fast! I will try and go back and remember it all...
1st - I am getting MARRIED! In 15 Days!!!
2nd - I got hurt again. Not as bad, but still bad. No more running on pavement.
3rd - We went to KC and had lots of fun and did a race.
4th - We have this other huge thing going on, but I don't know that I want to talk about it yet. Soon tho.
5th - We were going to move, then we were going to remodel, now we are going to do nothing. It was a LOT of work to get to this point.
6th - I found an outdoor pool and am LOVING it. Swimming for 50 minutes is much better outside. And there is much less noise.
7th - 15 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! MARRIED!!!!!!!!!! 15 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

May Day 2008
When I was little we used to make may baskets for neighbors and put flowers in them and then ring the door bell and run away. Today there aren't any flowers and if any one leaves anything on my porch it will be covered in about 3 minutes.

Memorial Day 8k
I got my tickets, so now we just need to register for the race in KC on Memorial Day!! I am so happy to have a goal again. I need to run it faster than the 8k I ran in June last year.

Oh, wow. I ran that faster than I thought. Hmmmm.

Sunny snow days
My grass is going to be about 2 feet tall once it finally warms up around here. This snow after snow thing is really working.
Maddie has really adjusted to her new doggie door. She doesn't run through it as fast as the other one, but she remembers where it is now.
6 am is really early when one hasn't slept well lately. In fact, most nights I have just finally fallen asleep by 6 am lately.
Sticking with WW and pointing is very hard. It was so much easier last time. These "few" extra pounds are not coming off. I need to commit to cardio. Why can't I commit??

Punked.
I think I punked myself. I went around all day yesterday pretending that I was hopeful and optimistic, when I knew it wasn't true. Happy people makes me crazy. How can some people be so hopeful all the time. Sometimes I think I am actually turning into my father and my grandmother. I just need to be faster with my snark.
I have decided to become a full-time drinker. Which means that since I am still pointing it is much harder to get the daily recommendation of fiber. 32 grams doesn't happen in just one martini.
On another note, Maddie started squeaking her happy squeak when I come home again. I really missed that. Also, the designer is coming next week! Yeah! So even though we can't do the renovations we will still have pretty plans of them!

Springtime in Colorado!
I am ready for some consistency. This rain, snow, warm, rain, warm, wind, snow, wind thing is getting old. At least it was a beautiful weekend.
Saturday we did yard work and ran errands. We both got new Keen sandals. I am so happy with mine. Red! Sandals! Red! I haven't been this happy with new sandals since my Jiminy Cricket sandals.
We made the yard so pretty, except for two spots that will require serious attention. Getting the grass to stop growing through the chicken wire stuff from the green belt could seriously be a full time job. Tim also fertilized, so it will be ready to grow as soon as we get warm days. We need to move the sprinkler lines before we can get the new deck, so we need to figure all that out soon.
We also found the rest of the chairs for our patio furniture on Craig's List, so we picked those up on Sunday. Now we just need a glass table top and we are all set, you know, once the deck is built. Oh! We also found the cutest fan online for the roof of the deck, so I am super excited about that!!
Yesterday we were able to golf for only the second time this year. It went really well!! I am ready for our leagues to start. I think it will be 6 weeks or so, though.
This week is going to rock! We get all the bids back for all the remodeling AND we are going to get some other really good news. I am also going to start running more with the walking, as I would really like to do that race in May.
