What a wonderful day! I got Seth off to school, ran to the post office to send two boxes to Doug (just email me if you want his address) and came home to run. I only ran 2 miles, but whatever... It's better than bon-bons while watching Biggest Loser, right?
Before chatting with Doug I ran out and got a pedicure! Yes, a pedicure. I am in flip-flops and walking shorts today, and it feels great! The storm doors are open, with a nice breeze coming in the house, I even sat on the back patio to do some homework! The only thing missing is Doug... This is the best time of year in Texas and I hate he has to miss it. But the upside, when he is coming home next year it will be close to this season and we can enjoy it together.
Ike and I went on a very long walk and I was not smart enough to put on my tennis shoes. I mean who wants to cover up their toes on the first day of a pedi? NOT ME! So now my beautifully pedicured feet are wrapped in gauze and coban/vetwrap because I had several blisters! Ugh! Oh well, that is the price you pay for a 4 miles walk in leather flip-flops! At least the polish and flowers look HOT!!!
Well it has always been a normal for me to send Doug about one package every seven to 10 days, but this time with his current FOB he has all he needs... shucks! It is kind of weird to not have a lot of things he needs sent to him, it is all there for him. I mean that is what let him know that I was in it for the distance. His first two deployments I sent him a letter everyday and numerous packages. He was teased that he was sending the letters to himself. I was an imaginary girlfriend, at least they teased him about it.
Well the day is drawing closer to get the new puppy. I think we are going to leave Ike at home, or with a friend. It will be a long day, about 10 hours in the car, not to mention time at the breeders and stopping for food. This will be the first time Seth will be helping me make a big trip. =..=
Enjoy this beautiful weather if you are here in Texas, the rest of the week looks promising!!
