again

Agreed to have Pat E. do the work on our bathroom but have not signed a contract yet. Went to Robert's carpets and picked out some beautiful marble but then decided against marble. Have now been to Master Tile twice and found something we will probably buy but Pat sent us to Floor Decor as it is cheaper. Went there today but they did not have any selection of polished porcelin tile so will probably go with the Master Tile ones. I saw some granite I liked but it was pretty expensive. $20 sf instead of the $10 he gave us an allowance for. The tile is also way more but Dean says that's okay because it's a small space. I would also like to do the front hall.

Having 5 training sessions with a personal trainer, Joe, and they are kind of dumb but wtf. Got Dean's membership price down anyway even if they would not upgrade him to every day for a slight increase in price. Have missed the Monday morning yoga two weeks in a row now. Maybe I will go tomorrow - there is a 24 SRT class and then yoga!! Would be really cool.

Rain and rather cold all week.

Denise and Don are in Florida getting tons done!!! Thank God. It's amazing how things just go on as usual but as soon as one of us is there, there is so much to arrange and do. The whole situation is absolutely outrageous- they should be in RI where someone can oversee their care on a regular basis. Even if Jeanne went once a week, it would be better than it is now.

We went to a Parelli clinic and learned a lot. It was freezing cold but we stuck it out. I bought W a green exercise ball and he put his nose on it and followed it around when I pushed it with my foot. I don't think K was too impressed. I also made him some yummy cookies.

Had eye apt and have a new prescription - must pick up tomorrow. I used some old frames which are slightly larger in the lenses so we'll see. Also had some new reading glasses made.

Have not talked to Linda since her trip to see Anne, need to have lunch with Pat Breivogel. We are supposed to be having dinner with Robert and Nancy this Saturday.

Jack still not crawling but is on hands and knees and trying to stand! omg, how totally cute. And Milo looks so grown up in his pictures, can't wait to have that great big strong hug he gives me! Never stop doing that Milo!!

2008 whatever!

My last post was ages ago. I just read it and it's the same boring story now as it was then.

I love not going to work, but what am I doing instead? Yes, I've made a little headway on decorating/de-junking house but to what purpose? OH totally resists any change/spending of money. To his credit, he does appreciate things after they are done but the struggle to convince him to agree to it, pick things out, get someone to get it done (or get it done myself or with his help) etc. is almost not worth it. So things get done little by little but after 9 years in this house, it still looks like crap. My house in Michigan looked better. All my apartments looked better.

Special advice: if you are going to fix up your house, just do it all at once. Otherwise, you just get inured to a house full of swill.

Riding- My RI has moved my lesson horse to a new barn and consequently I have started having my lessons there.Just planned a trip to SF. I'm very sad and lonely when I think of all of their lives I am missing.

I have plenty to do here and keep very busy (while still having tons of down time) and am basically happy and I know they are super busy with their own lives and probably now and then think of us, but still, wtf am I doing here in Texas? The fucking middle of nowhere. Go up into space and look down at me here and tell me why I am here.
