a couple of more (short!) items:

one of my goals is to get back on track with diet/exercise; so far for the last four days I've been doing pretty well with both. managed to do my aroebic walking tapes 3 of those days. I am shocked at how much better I feel, I think it has to be just from those tapes/exercising again. Incredible. I'm hoping this will be some of the motivation I need to stick with it!!!

another sign of reconnection: yesterday I was so excited, we got a stay one night, get one night free offer from the nice hotel some of D's wedding festivities were at. I showed it to H, said "I think we should take advantage of this"....(D and SIL could keep S for a weekend!) and H said "yes, it would be a nice chance for a little getaway" other than just discounting it or making a million excuses why we can't/shouldnt.



been around awhile!
