Mood:  hungry

It has been a fairly quiet week although I am still swamped at work. Most everyone is on travel this week so there are only two of us in the office. I have restarted my gym routine which makes me feel so much better. I had taken a week off to pack up Lennie’s things so that I could move them out of the house. During my break from the gym, my trainer Olo got hired on by a new gym. This really sucks because we had really gotten a good routine down. He was a tough trainer but also knew how to keep me motivated. He usually let me work out on my own because he knew with Lennie being in Iraq I couldn’t afford to pay his trainer fees. So from time to time he would take my work out sheet and change it up a bit and if he noticed me struggling he would yell to me from across the room that I could do it and don’t give up. I will miss him. One of the other trainers confronted me about signing up with him but I think for now I will just work out on my own. I think I have enough notes form Olo that I will be just fine. I also had a workout partner but she has had to change her workout days and times so I am truly on my own now.

I didn’t get much rest this past weekend. Saturday we had our 1^st annual Falls Lake Festival and I agreed to help out. I don’t know why I feel the need to always volunteer. I guess I know that if I don’t then Dana would probably have to do it all herself. It was suppose to run from 11 to 4 but most of the people showed up at 10. We had a great turn out until the rain started at 1:30. The event was such a huge success that we plan to do it again next year.

Sunday I was up at 6AM to go back over to Lennie’s and finish up some packing. I had tried to do it Friday but ran out of packing tape and then Saturday I had the rain to deal with. I didn’t have much left to do. I just needed to get his storage shed cleaned out and pack up his tools. The Navy folks showed up at 10 and we started loading stuff up. I got a little aggravated because every time I would lift something one of them would come over and take it from my hand saying not to worry with this stuff…they would do it. We were all packed up and on our way to the storage unit within an hour. Unloading went just a quick and I think they were a little upset that it didn’t take longer because it meant they had to go back to the base. LOL Everything except the furniture is safe and secure and I now have to get the alarm system installed and the house cleaned. Eric left it in such a mess.

I got some news from my sister Monday night. It appears that I was right…she is having a girl…Naomi Gayle. There were apparently several people who thought it was going to be a boy but I just knew that she was carrying a girl. See when Anne first told me that she was pregnant, I had a dream that she and Jimmy came to visit and Anne was holding a little girl. Now I am not saying I have prophetic dreams but I just think my mind knew or hoped that it was a girl.

In closing….This morning I got an email from a friend who knows how much I love the movie Labyrinth.  We have always talked about dressing up for Halloween as characters from the movie. While scanning EBay for Labyrinth costumes he came across this doll of Hoggle. I would LOVE to have that doll. He looks so real. Too Cute.

Hope everyone has a good week.
