I'm Baaaaaack!

Well a week in the desert doesn't nearly seem long enough - especially when it's spent with my wonderful husband, fabulous parents, & hilarious brother.  But it was such a blessing to be all together again, and Isaac fit in wonderfully, as could be expected.
We spent our time lounging by the pool, sharing "pupus" with our dear friends the Rands', cathching up with the Austell's (our friends from way back -- my dad & their dad "Uncle Bud" are best buds, went to Japan together, so we spent a ton of time together), took my brother to the casino 2 or 3 times, and took the Palm Springs Aerial Tram.  And of course we made the hour drive to Anaheim to visit the happiest place on earth -- it was a great vacation all in all.  I really couldn't have asked for a better vacation.  Even the drive down & back with my folks was nice.  Quiet, relaxing & beautiful scenery to pass the time.  I also was reminded of how silly my parents can be.  As they get older, they more and more funny.

So today, to try and stop as much chaos as I possibly could - I came in an hour early and pounded thru a TON of my work! I was pretty impressed with myself to say the least! ;)

But now it is back to reality, back to bills, back to work, back to trying to work out (I'm starting running again -- signing up for the Nike Women's Half Marathon in SF again this year...cross your fingers we make the cut again!), and back to making the Parker household a home.  We're getting there - got two new dressers put together, a new TV in our room.  It's almost come together.  Next projects on the list: clean/organize the garage, clean/organize the office, re-do the backyard.  Then I think we'll pretty much have a handle on it all.   I guess I should probably put up a couple pictures of our completed spaces - just to have documentation of our progess.  Yeah.... that's what I'll do.

Happy to be home!
