End of PT

I have finished my sessions of physical therapy, and I have to say that I do feel better in the two areas that they were working on. However, it seems that all the others areas are either a lot worse or just more noticeable! Now I will join the gym and see how long I can stick to a workout program. Have I ever told you that I hate to exercise!! I had much rather sit in a comfy chair somewhere and watch movie or read a book or work a puzzle or surf the net or anything but sweat! But my doctor has led me to believe that losing weight and exercising will take care of some of the aches and pains that are left. He told me that I was healthy, but needed to watch my diet and be more active. So on to a new chapter in my book of life!

SOSU


Now that's a lively bunch isn't it!! This was taken after Saturday's game that my mom went to. I think Mom said they ended up losing the game though. My nephew was about the only Freshmen on the team that wasn't redshirted. He's so proud of himself!

The weekend

Matt and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary Friday. Usually our anniversary weekend is spent at a Razorback football game, but they had an off week. No ballgame, so we decided to go out of town for a few days, just us without the kids. Well, that was a whole ordeal in itself! It really stinks on occasions such as these not have family close enough that can keep the girls without have to plan a week's vacation three months in advance!!! Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little. We had to figure out if I was going to have to take them to my mother who lives about 100 miles away, or if she was going to come up here and stay, all depending on her work schedule. But then she really wanted to go to Oklahoma this weekend and see my nephew play college football. So then we checked with Matt's sister and she said she could come stay with them but she can't leave until 3:30, which would put her getting here about 5:00. So who's going to pick the girls up from school if we decide to leave early Friday?? Can you see where I'm going with this!! Anyway all that worked out. But then we had to decide to where we were going. There are several places that I would like to go, but we only had two days and we weren't taking the girls. I would have liked to have gone to Memphis, but then I thought the girls would enjoy that trip, going to the zoo and maybe Graceland. Then I thought about going to a B&B in Mountain Home, never been there. But my husband was too worried about sharing a bathroom with someone else or not having cable TV that I knew I would not enjoy myself! So we ended up staying at the Hampton Inn in Hot Springs. No frills! I was hoping my weekend be uneventful and restful. And it was to an extent, but wasn't really what I had in mind. We did go down to Bathhouse Row and get a massage Saturday. And we did go to Dillards Friday night and bought me two new bathing suits at 75 percent off!! All and all we had a good weekend, but I've decided our personalities are just too opposite (and since opposites attract, I guess that's how we've made it 17 years) to enjoy a weekend completely the way I like it!
