Sara/Send that luck my way!!

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Sara Girl,

Well look at you, I leave you for a few days and you already have

the men chasing after you. Maybe some of that luck will rub off on

me. I took off my wedding ring this morning so I wouldn't forget to

take if off tomorrow and joked with my hubby saying that I am going

to have all the men chasing after me today...(haha)

This past weekend has been so busy. You know how those last minute

prep plans go. I did manage to squeeze in some R & R yesterday

afternon and grabbed a book and sat out on the deck catching the

rays. The only problem is that I caught to many rays and now look

like a lobster. So that's just great, I am going to look like a

flared-nosed mummy lobster in the hospital..(haha) I did manage to

eat all weekend, and for some reason didn't gain a single pound. I

actually lost a pound. Can't complain about that..(haha)

I can't wait to hear how your splint removal goes. I will keep my

fingers crossed for you! Can't believe you are heading out to Italy

in only a few days. YAHOOOOOO!! I will be thinking about all of

your advice to get me through those tough recovery days! I already

have a bulldozer waiting at home to tear my wall down..(haha)
