I’ve been avoiding this too long. So, I’m bulleting. Get over it.

• I did P90X for about 2 weeks and then went on vacation to Indiana.
• In Lafayette, Indiana the plan was that Amy and I would do P90 every day.
• Um, that didn’t happen.
• What did happen was a whole lot of drinking margaritas or mojitos in the pool.
• Or both.
• And maybe some wine.
• And hot dog eating
• And playing dress up.
• And baseball games.
• And legos.
• We musn’t forget the legos.
• I love being Aunt Suzie.
• And there was bison and wolves.
• And sushi consumption with friends.
• And Kim remembers me doing cartwheels in the street.
• In heels.
• And, perhaps, some falling on my ass.
• Then I went to Indianapolis to visit my parents.
• No P90 there – only weeding and gardening.
• Seriously, my mom has neglected the weeds for what seemed like 40 million years.
• Don’t tell her I said that.
• But I’m a good daughter. I weed. I mulch. I dig. That’s what I do.
• Which I really didn’t mind because I brought back 3 garbage bags worth of plants for my garden.
• Which really don’t grow well in Texas.
• But I pretend.
• I’m back in Texas for 2 days and we have the mother of all hail storms.
• Followed my a massive plague of grasshoppers.
• Good thing I’m an atheist.
• Those 3 bags of plants?
• Um, for the most part, not so much plants anymore.
• Disastrous, monstrous storm clean-up takes place.
• Turns out the mother of all hail storms was actually a tornado.
• Ever clean a tree out of a pool?
• With a hot flash?
• Fun times.
• And we have to get a new roof. I’m seriously not happy about this.
• For 3 weeks, massive landscape clean-up was my P90X workout.
• Then something cool happened.
• My friend Peggy said she would train for a marathon with me.
• Woo-Hoo! A running partner.
• We’ve been running like rock stars and we are up to 7 miles.
• Then I planned a ShaleTest fundraiser.
• I baked a load of cookies.
• And I forgot to take pictures when everyone arrived.
• But it was awesome.
• Then I got a sinus infection.
• And didn’t do anything for 5 days.
• I blame global warming for the sinus infection. And, of course, gas drilling.
• Didn’t think I’d leave that out, did you?
• Now, I’m feeling better.
• But I still have hot flashes.
• Go antibiotics!
• Oh, and go new fall shoes that I can’t wear yet.
• Shhh, don’t tell Chef.
• But P90 hasn’t been on my schedule for a while.
• I know you all have been wanting to know how it’s going.
• Now you know.
• So, I’m thinking . . .
• Do I start P90X up on my non-run days?
• Or do I do it in addition with the run days?
• I really like the 4 day run weeks.
• A lot.
• But my big surgeryfied-belly says I need more.
• Sigh.
• Being old sucks.

So that’s it. Now I can get back to regular posting. Guilt free. Sort of.
