Can ya tell I am excited??  Just a little bit maybe?  Its almost time to pack up and go north young women!  I cannot WAIT to be on that lazy river, floating the day away.  Of course all the activites are gonna be great but still, I am a river rat, a pond freak, a swimming pool diva…give me a body of water and I am over the top happy!  So watch out baby…here I come!!

Plus I am going alot skinner than I did two years ago!  I am gonna get out there and flaunt it baby!  Ok, as well as I can in a pair of swim shorts and a halter top!  LOL!  River floating is not exactly bikini friendly…not that I will probably ever wear one of those again!  But still, I wont be worrying about my bat wings flapping or my big ass not fitting in the canoe seat!  And I’ll have less area to sunblock!  >:-}

But one downer to all this, I have hurt my knee again.  I dont know what is going on.  I am super careful on the machines at Curves that could potentially hurt it but yet this afternoon I found myself limping.  My right one is the bad one but I even found the left one bothering me a little bit tonight, probably from it taking the brunt of the right one hurting and me giving to it.  I can not even squat without pain and it has alot of heat coming out of it tonight so that means I have inflammation down in the joint.  Time for some cold/hot therapy and hope like hell its better before the float.  I will be skipping anything at the gym tomorrow that involves using my knees.

Becky, before I forget…Dozer is doing great!  He is pretty much an inside dog now while we are home.  Not an accident one either.  He will wake us up and let us know he needs to go out.  And he still likes to be out during the day but when the sun goes down he is on the porch begging to be let in.  Right now he is laying on his side, looking like he is asleep but he actually has a rawhide in his mouth and he is chewing on it.  He snores like a bear and I normally have to get up and rearrange his head.  And man has he grown over the past month!  Between the good food and the vitamins I guess his system has kicked back in and started bulking him up. And he was a HUGE hit at the party the other night.  Everyone love him and he got no sleep either.  As Tom and I slept Sunday away, Doze was right on the floor in front of me snoring his head off!  I have a picture I promise I will post here soon.

Karin, good to see you back!  I have wondered how your trip went!  I did read you blog today but didnt get to comment.  But I agree with the learning to live part more than constantly worrying about the diet.  I came to the same realization while you were gone.  

Ok, I gotta get.  30 minutes with an ice pack and then off to a hot bath before I crawl into bed and start tomorrow.  Only 4 hours at work tomorrow, a quick workout and we are outta here!  Everyone have a great weekend and I’ll see ya next week when we get back!  {{{Hugs}}}
