It is amazing how much exercise or lack of exercise messes with your moods. After a new workout last Thursday i decided to take a few days off from my routine to let my confused aka sore muscles recover. So i spent the weekend doing yard work, planting my garden, moving soil around and playing with the dogs. I didn't notice until Sunday when i was trying to go to sleep at 10pm how crappy i felt and i couldn't fall asleep until about 2am. Come 7am Monday morning i was not in a good mood and my body was just not feeling the whole needing to work thing. I could feel my energy below the surface but it just wasn't full swing. I felt like i was looking at my energy at the bottom of the pool. So close yet so far away.
So when i got home i changed and set up my laptop turned on my favorite show and did 50 min of a hard workout that left me hot, sweaty and thinking I'm crazy. And afterward i felt great! I still didn't get to sleep until well after 1030pm, but i woke up feeling good and did not wake up once during the night. When the alarm went off i popped out of bed ready to go. I guess my body is getting into the swing of having a good workout. Lesson learned. No more then 2 days with out some sort of heart raising activity!

Spring is in the air!
Spring is here! Spring is here! As much as i love my winter days it is nice to have sunny and warm days. I wish it stayed sunny and 70-80 all summer. I really hate anything over 80 degrees esp since i don't have AC at home.
Yesterday my brother and i spent a few hours chopping up a fallen tree and i spent most of the morning bagging up all the crap on the patio left over and forgotten from the kitchen remodel. the patio is starting to look like a patio again and not a storage closet. And since it was warm out Athena took it upon her self to go jump on her pool. I say on because it was flipped upside down from being in the rain. She wanted to cool off in the standing rain water. I can understand that. But in the process she poked a few holes in it. Good thing it was below the water line i normally fill up too. So i need to pick up some duct tape to fix the holes. We can't have precious water splashing out right??? She was also very happy i put up her screen room. Yes she has a little tent like structure just for her pool. I found that in the shed last year after getting so annoyed that the pepper tree was making her pool water nastier then she was!
Athena was very happy Mommy loves her. Frisbee in the am till she dropped, watching mom do yard work, ball fun with her fav person ever and her pool! She was in all sense of the words a dead dog last night. She even woke me up in the middle of the night Snoring LOL
(The tarp is suppose to go on top. i had not secured it yesterday so it fell)
Hello spring. I'm so glad march is going out like a lamb :)

Dear Body,
Lets make a deal shall we? How about you comply to my workouts and in return I'll feed you good stuff and get massages regularly? This whole being sore has really got to go! I get you are freaking out because everything I'm doing is new. But please don't be afraid of change. It really is for the better!
Remember these?
Yes? Well those will be on your feet IF you cooperate with me and we make my goal. So do we gotta deal?????
Signed the one who really wants those boots!

The world lost another wonderful lady.
I met my friend Sherry not in person, but online. We met on a forum and bonded over the love we have for our pets. From there our friendship blossomed to emails and offline conversations. We shared our lives ups and downs and we supported each other like we had known each other our entire lives.
Last year Sherry was diagnosed with cancer. A aggressive yet treatable form of cancer according to her doctors. She fought with everything she had in her. She woke up every day fighting like a gladiator not only for her self, but for her young daughter. Sadly no amount of chemo or radiation could tame the cancer that raged inside of her determined to take her life. On March 12th in the early hours of the morning she passed with her family surrounding her.
Sherry was a dedicated friend, animal lover, animal rescue worker and most of all Mother. She will be missed more then words can described. Where ever she is i hope she is raising hell and partying it up. Rest in Peace Sister.
