Pumpkin Patch 2012

So we still don't have hot water, and since Paul's parents stopped by here on Friday on their way home from Crescent Bar they offered to take the girls to their place and we could have a date night and then go to their place on Saturday and spend the night.  So they took the girls home, gave them a bath and we went to the gym for a short workout and a SHOWER, then went to the local wine bar for a little date.  Instead of wine, though, we each had different martinis and they were so good.
 
 
 
Saturday morning we went out for breakfast and then to the in-laws.  It was yet another gorgeous fall day and we had been planning on going to a local pumpkin patch with our church group, so we went to one down there instead and it was really fun.  It's a cider mill that has expanded to include a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, hay ride, etc.  They also make the best apple fritters in the world.  Delish.
 
Tomorrow during preschool, instead of something fun, I get to come straight home and try and track down the part for our water heater that was SUPPOSED to be here Friday.  Sigh.  Tomorrow will be day 11 with no hot water.  It really sucks.  I almost wish it wasn't under warranty, then we could have just bought a new one from Home Depot and been done with it.

I am so sorry to hear you STILL don't have hot water!!! But I'm glad you got a little date night in the middle of your troubles. And love the pumpkin patch pictures! We made a quick trip a few weeks ago, but I hope to go back in the next week or so...we still need to buy pumpkins!

Hope you get the water heater straightened out soon!!!

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...

Weigh-in Wednesday - Up and Down

So 2 weeks ago I skipped my weigh-in because of slacking off and then last week I skipped the weekly post altogether.  But I've since turned things around and am back on track. I've logged 2 good work outs so far this week.  On Monday I did C25K week 3 day 1 plus extra walking to equal 30 total minutes of cardio and then I did chest, shoulders and triceps.  Yesterday I did day 2 of C25K week 3 and legs.  Paul will be getting home later than usual for the rest of this week so I'm hoping the weather will cooperate so that I can just walk/run outside, as I won't have time to go to squeeze in the gym before dinner with him getting home later, or I could go after dinner but I don't really like to. So, after losing 7 pounds in April, I have since gained 8 (that's right-EIGHT) and lost 5.  OK, I probably didn't really gain 8.  That's what the scale said last Thursday but the very next day I was down 2.6 or 2.8 or something, so wh...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...
