Not So Perfect on this End :)

Hey, Barb.

Your weekend sounds positively dreamy.  I can't even lie and say that "we had a great time, despite the rain", because honestly, the weekend was pretty dull.  We had a much smaller group this year, and since most of the kids are grown up, they don't keep us on our toes like they used to. Besides the absolutely sh***y weather - and I'm not kidding, it just sucked - there just wasn't much life in our group.  We were camping at a new place for us, and I really didn't care for it at all. It was on the beach, so no trees or any privacy, particularly no trees for tying off tarps. It was impossible to sit by the fire most of the time because it got ...... oh, why am I whining about it now? Suffice to say, I didn't really have a great time and I'm glad we're home.

I must also say, though, that going camping while on this HCG program was really, really hard, so that may have something to do with being miserable the whole time.  I stuck with it, though, through S'mores peanut butter covered Chex mix and a dozen other foods not naturally found in the human household. I was pretty psyched to have stayed so committed.

I worked today, ran a few errands, then holed up in the house to catch Sarah Ferguson on Oprah for a bit.  Tomorrow I have the day off  so I'm thinking of, among doing several necessary things, going up to the Mac Store and checking out a Mac Book laptop. My brother can get me a nice discount through work, and I've been wanting one for ages, and this one is a piece of crap, so... Bro J talked me into at least checking them out and playing around on one - he swears I'll be hooked.  I still don't have email on this one (I can read it, but I can't do anything with it - I got your note about FB!) which I'm getting very tired of.  Other than that, though, I have nothing planned and hope to get my floors cleaned. Exciting day.  Working Thursday and Friday...nothing coming up this weekend. Yay!

Now it's about time for dinner, but I wanted to get a quick note in before I did that....it's Glee tonight and I may not be back to the page later!  I hope this (short) week started well for you - I can't imagine anything less after such a fab weekend :)

Love,
A
