It’s only Tuesday, but it feels like a Thursday. This freakishly cold, grey and oppressively winter-like weather we are having is bringing me down. I am in desperate need of some sunshine and warmth.

John and I made progress on the patio this weekend. I only threatened to divorce him twice this weekend. We are just not meant to do home improvement projects together. Everything is a mess, but since I’ve not posted any progress pictures… I’m assuming you can look past the uncleaned rock on the BBQ, the stickers still protecting the stainless cabinets since I am a messy grouter and the hose and cement pieces we haven’t cleaned up. I should do a blog post on installing Roxpro. There’s a science to it. I’m getting better. The rock on the sitwall has been “cleaned” so that is what the BBQ will look like when it’s done. We are still deciding on what product to use as a countertop. We are leaning towards tile right now. Could be rock though. We are unsure.

Emma was in the Talent Show at school last week. I had Dinara’s crappy little video camera. Here’s the performance for your viewing pleasure. I think they did great. Takes a certain amount of confidence to get up in front of 450 kids and sing!

So this weekend I ran 2 miles on a flat course. I didn’t hurt afterwards. I couldn’t run without walking though. So I really need to work on my aerobic endurance. And after the run I swam a 1/2 mile in the glorious 45 mins of sunshine we had. The swim was difficult and I had trouble catching my breath. Just felt like a crap swim. Until I had to share a lane with this gorgeous 25 year old. I don’t remember much of the swim after that. :) All I remember is he was wearing a speedo and was chatty.

Yesterday I had yoga and that went really well. I do enjoy it. Except we did more Abdominal Work and Im not such a fan of that. I like the poses and stretching mucho better. Afterwards I swam. This swim went really well. 1/2 mile in 21 mins. I think that is the fastest I have been yet. And this swim just felt good.

Just got really bad news about our taxes today too. I’m not a happy camper. Especially because one of the professionals gave me crap advice and I listened to it. *sigh*

Dinner tonight was Chicken Piccata, Rice Pilaf and Broccoli. The chicen was this lemon stuff I bought at a new store and it was too peppery. But live and learn.
