Back in Arizona

Word of the Day

Needless to say, I'm back home in Arizona and have been here for a bit more than two weeks. Not long in the grand scheme of things and with all that's been going on here. The trip back from The Lake took almost a week. I spent two nights in Omaha visiting with DD Daughter, Ms. En, and Mr. T. While there we spent a day a the zoo. Nice zoo. And then, as a surprise, HTP flew in to join me and us. He hadn't seen the kidlets for quite some time and didn't have much time to see them before we had to continue on our journey. One night spent near Oklahoma City and then we continued on to spend a couple of days with Sarge, Tammy, Little Jon, D Buddy and Jessie. Sarge was REALLY surprised to see her Dad in the car with me. HTP was thrilled to meet Little Jon. We had a wonderful time in Texas before continuing on for one more night on the road and then home.

Home! Lots of doings here. Aside from unpacking, BF had lots of plans for things to do. LOTS! We had a garage sale that first Saturday, and then the Women's Expo on Sunday, and Bingo that same night. Not to mention that I ended up with cold...again...and so did HTP. I think Mr. T gave it to us. Aside from not being able to hear out of my left ear for almost two weeks, I didn't feel all that bad.

Meanwhile, I'm back at yoga AND I've started going to Walk Away the Pounds. Monday, Wednesday and Friday for yoga. Tuesday and Thursday for the aerobic Walk Away the Pounds where I "walk" for THREE MILES. I can do this and maybe, just maybe, I'll lose some weight while I'm back here in Arizona.

Cleaning. I did my best but ended up hiring a crew to come in and do a one time cleaning. My friend from church gave me the name of the gal that does her house. They're actually inside right now cleaning my house while I'm out here on the deck keeping Kylee out of their way. Kylee would really like to go inside and visit with them all. There must be twenty of them all cleaning. Wow! I'm shocked at what a thorough cleaning and how many are all attacking my house at once. My house will be REALLY clean and this is supposed to be only a light cleaning? I may just have to have them come out every year when I get home from The Lake. They've been at it for two hours and I expect that they'll be at it for another hour. My house really needed cleaning. There's no way that HTP will think I did this all on my own.
