Ho-Hum

We went out of town last weekend, to my parent’s house to pick up the kids. We had Babygirl’s birthday party with the family and otherwise just melted in the heat and humidity. It was some serious suckage. I know I grew up there and everything and I should be used to it, but… no. Not so much. I was never so happy to get home in my life. It’s not hot here. Like.. at all. I called my mom the day after we got home and told her I had all the windows closed and I was sitting on the couch with a blanket. She called me a bitch. *beams*

Actually, we took them a window AC unit that we just don’t need or use. It was new and has been sitting in a closet for the last two years. Naturally they waited until we left to put it in (bitches) but when she called, she was marveling at how much it cooled down the house (Gee. Ya think?).

As a trade off for crappy gardening conditions I’ll take these mild summers over the Hell they live in.

We also had a chance to visit with Moose and Jenfrog, they treated us to breakfast on Saturday. We met them at Spank last year and hope to see them at Spank in August. (Well, not Spank. Twisted Tryst is the name now. I hate change.) I’m not holding my breath that we’ll make it there in August because the odds sure seem stacked against it, but I hope we can get there. Anyway, it was great to see them again.

Other than the heat, which just kind of sucked the energy and vitality out of everyone, it was a mostly enjoyable visit. It was short so that helped a lot, I’m sure. But everyone was delighted to see Babygirl. Of course, she’s the most adorable baby in the history of ever.

Anywho, we got home late in the evening on Sunday and I had just enough time to empty the suitcase so I could turn around and fill it back up so Master could fly out early Monday morning. He’s down in the Phoenix area right now. Poor guy. No break from the heat for him. Though down there it’s one of them there DRY heats, dontchaknow. He’s coming home tomorrow night already though. Good thing. I miss him. :(

It’s otherwise been a pretty low-key week for me. Yesterday, me and Babygirl went blueberry picking in the back yonder. She was eating them damn near as fast as I could pick them, walking down the trail and going “num num num” with purple fingers and a purple face.

I could probably pick a bowlful of berries every day for a month and not even find one tenth of what’s out there. They’re just everywhere. I won’t gather too many of them though. Nobody likes them but me (and Baby, apparently) and I’m cutting out sugary things so I won’t make blueberry muffins or pancakes or anything. A small handful to toss on cereal or something is all I use them for. Babygirl and I had blueberries in our oatmeal this morning. :)

Speaking of dieting, I reactivated my gym membership and went back yesterday. Today I can hardly walk. My biceps, my butt and my thighs hurt even when I’m NOT moving. Right now, Babygirl can walk faster than I can. I hate this process of working through the pain. I’m so not a masochist! Honest!

I also couldn’t do more than 5 min. on the elliptical when I was doing an hour before I quit. Incredibly disappointed in myself. I only gained back 5 pounds though, I’d thought I’d gained back a whole lot more than that so that was one bright spot. I really went on a sugar/carb binge the last two weeks. I have no willpower.

I made pizza last night: whole wheat crust, very little cheese, mushrooms and black olives and zucchini for toppings. I ended up picking the zucchini off because it was kind of gross combined with the other stuff. But I was pleasantly surprised that the whole wheat crust didn’t taste too bad.

Last week I made whole wheat banana bread with honey and no sugar. That wasn’t too awful bad either. But the banana-peanut butter- no flour- no sugar cookie things were absolutely disgusting. They’d make good dog treats though so if you’re looking to please your puppy, hit me up for the recipe. *nods*

There’s just nothing going on. Nothing to blog about. With Master out of town, I just kind of mosey through the days.

So, um, yeah. That’s all I got. I so would not blame any of you for dumping me off your kinky blogroll. :(
