Or is this just another excuse to post a picture of my front porch? Today I am going for an open water swim in a reservoir after work with my friend the rec therapist. (The triathlon is on August 6, and my training has got to step up a notch or two.) It should be fun to swim... but very very cold. But with temperatures getting into the high nineties every single day, I guess the cold will feel good. Then after the swim, I have a date with the wonderful man.
It is also getting down to the wire with the trip to Savannah. I still have to rent a car. My sister wanted me to stay in a room with her and I told her I would get my own, and she had hurt feelings! But I hate sharing a room with someone! Hate! Hate! Hate! It would be nice to save that $400., but I don't want to have a miserable time.
I will get back from Savannah on the 26th, and my son will be home on leave for 11 days starting on the 29th. It will be so good to see him. He is staying here at my house! Yay! Then he will be shipping out (literally) for Iraq. He will spend 32 days on a ship... he is going with the equipment. God help me please.

Oh I'm one of those people that needs her own room too but I asked dAAve and Scott to do some snuggle therapy with me so I guess I'll have to share their room for the day anyway.
I see you,
JJ
Well I am with you not sharing a room with anybody. Remember SSC when he found out I was having problems financially making my trip to Branson, he offered to do the driving and we could share a room. I am taking Mrs C. with me I told him I would pass. I won't even share a room with her.
Enjoy your trip, and visiting with your son. I should be in the area a few days after he leaves.
Hi Christine,
I must have erased your e-mail address, I just enjoy your blog. I'm Karen from Denver and I have come back to create another blog based on my recovery. Check it out! You are an inspiration with a great view on life.
Karen
Can I still eat the chocolate if I don't run(or swim or bike)? Have a good visit with your son!
