Tough end of year and start of this one......

The end of 2007 became very hectic and I was not able to even get to the gym. The christmas holiday itself was nice. We took the children to Universal Studios in Orlando but I became very sick the last day there and it hung for the next 3 weeks or so.

My oldest is a varsity wrestler so we spent the entire month of January at wrestling tournaments and matches.

My youngest is having some medical problems we have not been able to figure out. His whole body is hurting, have daily headaches (they don't go away just wakes up with them then goes to bed with them), and other issues. We are seeing specialists to find the answers.

I have just gotten back to the gym yesterday. I'm going to try going 2x a week and then hopefully just walking a few other days. I'm actually not too sore today considering I have not worked out in 3 months. I did get a little over 1 mile in between the elipical and walking plus various weights.

I have also gotten back into my cross stitching. I'm using this year as a year for me. 90% of what I stitch will be for me. Right now I'm still working on Love w/a capital L and I am so working a project for my mom. I have never stitched her anything so really wanted to.

That's about all that's happening here.

WIP for the week

Camping........

This past weekend we took the RV for a camping trip. The boys had off school on Monday so we thought we would go for a couple of nights. Didn't think it was going to happen at first since it had been raining for several days but finally the front was to move off on Sat. afternoon so we decided to go. We just went locally (when you live at the beach it's real easy to go). I took my camera to play with but found out my battery was low and I had forgotten the charger. I did get a few pictures though and thought I would share them with you.

Just a lone fisherman out early in the morning
These next 2 pictures show dolphins playing in the water. They are not the best but you can just make them out. Unfortunately I did not have my telephoto lense on the camera this morning.


This was the sun setting (over the campground) the 1st night we were there. It was welcome after so many evenings with rain. The sky was even more pretty the 2nd night but my camera battery was dead at this point.

Update on Stitching (Love and other)

Here is the updated of Love w/Capital L. It was taken on the 26th but I have not stitched any more on it. I am putting this on hold for the time being. I have to work on Christmas ornaments that will be gifts this year.




This is for a stitch it forward round robin on the cross stitch crazy board. Hopefully my pal likes it.
