September? How'd that Happen?

I can’t believe its September. Where did May, June, July and August go? In some aspects, time passes so quickly these days, but in others, it just simply drags on forever – like weekdays vs. weekends.

Today was the first day back to school for the little ones, so my commute was littered with school buses, anxious looking children and ecstatic looking parents. By the end of next week – everyone will look miserable again.

This past weekend was my friend’s 50th birthday party/zip-lining extravaganza. We had a BLAST zip-lining and I would highly recommend it if you haven’t done it before. Fun, fun, fun! If you’re not an adrenaline junky before you start – you will be by the time you’re done. The after party/picnic was also a huge success. The weather was spectacular, food was great, but then again food always tastes better when you have great company and Saturday was no exception.

Yesterday was a holiday (thank goodness), so time was spent cleaning up the house since it had been neglected for a few days prior to the party. I also spent some time organizing all of my jewelry pieces, supplies, photographing finished pieces, writing descriptions, etc. I like the creative side of the business, but dislike all the fine details and business aspect of it. Maybe it wouldn’t seem so much like a task if I actually had the time to dedicate to the tedious details. Soon…soon....

Today, I’m in recovery mode. It’s a good thing I’m at work today - now I can catch up on some rest. Ahhh…

I have been wanting to zipline for a while now- there are TONS of places to do it just an hour from here...hopefully one of these days!!

And I totally agree...why the heck do weekends, even long ones, pass by so darn quickly?!?!

no kidding - how is it September? Granted, I am excited because this is the month we move back home as well as my 8th wedding anniversary! Then we move into the last three months of the year which has lots of birthdays in my family and then Christmas! Not wishing it was cold, but I do love fall and the cooler air.

I want to zip line so bad too! We were so close this summer on our vacation but decided not to. Someday!

That ziplining sounds lika it's a BLAST1!!

The summer sure has flown by... September 1st came and went and all of the sudden the weather changed here in Alicante... it's nice and warm but no longer unbearably HOT! But at least we still have some beach weather... And it means scuba diving is more comfortable now (extreme heat and wetsuits are a bad combo) ;o)

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
