I guess I never saw the post. I will see if I am available at that time. My daughter birthday is the 6th. It sounds like a lot of fun. If I wanted to go, what would I need to read to catch up for the meeting?

The book club is GREAT fun! The girl that is heading it up actually posted a post on the SparkDallas Team forums, but no one responded but me. There were 5 of us at the initial meeting and we expect it to grow bit by bit. We chose "Beautiful Outlaw" by John Eldredge as our first book. We meet again June 7 to discuss it. We're meeting at 7pm at Joe's Crabshack in Mesquite if you're interested.

wow busy! I love to read, I read a lot, but I've never been in a book club. Is it fun? I'm trying to get back on track today, I fell a little off my eating habits this weekend, so I'm going to try and get back focused again. I really don't want to go to work this morning, but such is life.

Had a great work-from-home day today, even if it was a bit nasty out. Had an eye appt first thing this morning and it looks like for the first time in my adult life I'll be getting glasses. Then I went to Half Price Books to get the book I need to read for my book club meeting next month. Then I went and had my nose re-pierced since I pulled it out while I was cleaning it on Tuesday - OUCH! Then I met DH for lunch at Freebirds. Then it was back to the home-office to get some much needed work done. Now I've got dinner started and waiting for DH to get home.

I need to start trying to run with my sister in law as well. She is doing great with her evening walk/run with her kids.

Bummer on the lost food! That stinks (figuratively and probably literally)! Haha
My weekend was nice. Spent some time with DD#4 & one of her friends on Saturday. Figured we should celebrate Cinco de Mayo on Quatro de Mayo since Monday was a work day. Lol
I did something Saturday that I've been wanting to do for some time now - I got my nose pierced! Can't believe I finally went through with it after talking about it for so long. =)

Wow, what a cool place to move to. I wish her all the best! My weekend wasn't bad, it was busy, but went well. I got some parts replaced on the car and did a lot of much needed things around the house. Also bought a crap ton of groceries, we finally replaced all the food we lost when the outlet to the freezer tripped and we didn't know it and lost all that food.

Not really anything planned for this weekend. Will be going to hear a dear friend speak in the morning about her upcoming move to Israel. I'm going to miss her so much, but such a great opportunity for her!

I'm doing a workout challenge. 60 days to being healthier. I alternate between Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam workout videos, with Sunday being a rest day. Seeing how many pounds and inches are possible in 60. I have not worked out yesterday and today though, appears I have a head cold or sinus infection or something and I feel yucky :(

what's up with the cold weather, I would have hoped it would be all gone by now. It was pretty warm when I left for work yesterday, wore a skirt and cardigan, only to be freezing later in the day. Fail.
I completed day 38/60 on my challenge today...woohoo!

Yeah, I'm at the office today too. The front desk person is on vacation so I'll be in the office all week instead of working from home on Tuesday and Thursday. Stinks!!!

glad you had a great weekend. Mine was fun as well. This weekend I will probably get with some friends and family for a bbq for my birthday or something.
I completed day 31/60 this morning though.

My husband and kids (grown) have done some mud runs. They just did the Warrior Dash in Dripping Springs this past weekend and have done the Jail Break. I have absolutely no desire to do it with them and just go for support and to take pictures. =)

We did our first grass mow over the weekend, we are hoping to do some yard work and plant some pretty flowers in the front this coming weekend.
I'm going to sign up for the all ladies mud run on June 1st, and I'm going to try and train for it, anyone ever done one of these?

I walked the trails and everything is in order...grass is not high enough to have to mow on trails and grass/clover seed I put out last fall has a moderate cover over the back arena. There is a generalized covering of wild allysum all across the property which releases a subtle vanilla scent...one of my favorite happenings this time of year....soon the back trails will be bordered by lots of pink and yellow flowers....I keep shaking out those wildflower seed containers year after year. My longrange plan is to plant lots of old fashioned roses which bloom prolifically with little to no care.

Good morning...Spring Break Week so I see the weather ordered is exemplary...lots of folks off at work to enjoy the kids and weather. After a good nights rest...only up once to bottle feed lambs...and able to rest afterwards...I am raring to go. I haven't walked my back trails in a month and time to start the Spring clean up back there...look see, straighten the garden art and eventually mow. A friend of my sisters...and now one of my friends has sent me an invite for a clothing swap with lots of ladies on Saturday...sounds like a fun way to tweak the wardrobe and clean out my closet.

No couch slug allowed!! I know you at least got out and walked Maggie. =)
I had to take Sandie to the vet this morning. Thought she had an abscess, but turns out she has gum disease. Poor thing has the stinkiest breath around and is not on antibiotics to help with the inflamation and infection. Got her teeth cleaned really good and she's now on a schedule to have it done every 3 months.
