Memorial Day here in the U S of A. A time to remember all those who have given their lives in the service of our country.
For me this weekend has been good. A time of fun, reconnecting with my husband after some very difficult months. We went out to dinner, Mexican (and yes I had a margarita Cathy) then met up with friends for some music and dancing. My mom treated us to a motel room so we didn't have to drive home Saturday night (everything is like 1.5 to 2 hours away from us). Woke up Sunday morning, had breakfast, and got a wild hare to drive to the casino (only about 15-20 minute drive from where we stayed) where we spent the rest of the day goofing off!! We didn't come home rich but we had some good runs on the machines and had a lot of fun together. Of course we also had time in the car, time to chat, time to just be together with no 'emergency' telephone calls or messages. We didn't get home until after midnight last night!! Then didn't get out of bed till about 10 this morning!!!
Who knows where my weight is but quite frankly, today, I do not care. What ever 'damage' I've done by eating out and drinking can be repaired by getting back into the swing of things this week.
We toasted to getting our lives back. We reminisced about all sorts of things. We laughed together, danced together and ... (use your imagination here LOL!!!) The weather has been wet and chilly but it didn't matter!! No BBQ's in these neck of the woods I fear this weekend!!!
Saturday morning I woke up with a sore lower back. Thought Pilates might be the ticket to stretching it out and in the midst of my workout TWANG!!!! It hurt more so I stopped. Then I did about 30 minutes on the elliptical which did not hurt. My back still hurts some and my right leg too ... must have tweaked something dancing in my high heels!! LOL!!! So, I'm just going to take it easy today. Slug status!!! I believe that is what the doctor would order. Okay, stretching I'll do but not a whole lot more than that. Getting old isn't for sissies!!!
I'm off to visit your journals and see what you all have been up to in my absence. Enjoy the moment!! A constant life lesson for me. As Info would say ... I will greet this day with love in my heart. Take care my friends!!!

Moose, I am SO GLAD YOU HAD SUCH FUN! It's about time, and you could not be more deserving. Thank you for stopping by my journal, and yes, we had a good time. Lots of food, sun and hot, hot, hot. I was a good girl tho and ate what I planned. This is the best journal of yours I have read in a while and I am so very glad you are feeling better (minus the back, careful there). Rest, relax, veg out, slug out or whatever you want to call it. You, if anybody, and hubby, needed this. Have a nice evening and I will talk to you later.
