Chris and I bought a new bed today.

I don't say this often, but Chris is not looking pretty.  He decided to tackle some vines in the creek area over the weekend, and the poison ivy won.  He looks so rashified.  He says he is feeling okay, but looking at him you would think otherwise. He says he is heading to the doctors today… hope so.

Well this weekend seemed to fly by. Chris and I had a full day yesterday. Chris went to Operation Clean Sweep (a city organized clean up), and I went to the HOA social event. The HOA event was very well attended, and the board got some good feedback from homeowners that we were actually doing a good job – which was great to hear.

After that, we cleaned up the back yard – de-dogged it, trimmed and mowed the lawn and then started digging up the weeds in the front garden. I have a blister — it hurts!

Quiet night, ending up watching Unfaithful with Richard Gere and Diane Lane. It actually was a good movie. The “affair” (Oliver Martinez) was very cute. This is a good run on my $0.49 movies. So far I've enjoyed all of them!

Today we finished weeding the front garden beds, and then went off to buy some annuals and plants to make the house more attractive during the day. I hope that it will look good by the time we’ve finished. I was going to avoid doing the annual things, but the alternative (short-term) lacks color.

Had dinner with the neighbors and enjoyed the evening. Daria is getting huge… she is due within the next two weeks.

The semester is almost over — this is a good thing.

Our new year's eve event was a lot of fun. We had about 30 of our friends drop by through the night, and celebrate the coming of a new year with us. It's nights like this that remind me how lucky we are for all our wonderful friends. The evening was without major incident, and we finally climbed into bed around 3am.

The new year is going to be all about toning, tanning and tarting Actually Chris and I have decided that we are going to “get healthy” and work at eating well for the majority of the week, and working out more. This can only be a good thing for the dogs.
