Hubby's 300 Debut!!

Hubby has brought it to my attention that it's been a while since I've posted, and yikes--he's right!! And you know how much I hate it when he's right!! LOL!!

The past month's been a blur of end-of-school meetings and helping the kids study for finals. Son #1 has been sick, but thankfully, he's feeling better now. Hard to believe the kids will be sophomores in a little over a week.

We had a yard sale last weekend that was EXHAUSTING!!! We spent the proceeds at the Muskogee Renaissance Faire, and had a ball!!


Here's Hubby striking a 300 pose!!










Daughter has always wanted a corset, so we broke down and bought her one. Isn't she cute??!!











Son #2 had never ridden a camel, so we forced him to climb aboard!!!












The neighborhood pool opens in a couple weeks, so Hubby and I have been trying to get in shape. Ugh. We've been walking a nearby park trail that's 3 miles around. Yesterday morning, I did my 3 miles, then, since I can't seem to get one of my kids to do it, I mowed the lawn. OUCH!!! I never realized that we live on a mountain!! The front yard wasn't so bad, but the back is awful. Lots of rocky spots, and it's marshy by the pond. At one point, I fell--double ouch!!

On the writing front, I finished up the last of my Harlequin contracts (an anthology project out of the NYC office that'll be released in January), and my fingers are crossed to hear great news soon about the latest batch of proposals I sent to Harlequin American in Canada.

Hope everyone has a great start to their summer!!

It's come to my attention that I haven't commented on your blog. I was at my sister's for 11 days. I now have a monitor with a big bum that is 19" (my other one was 14", probably the size of a laptop sceen).
It looks like fun was had by all at the Faire.
Painful to hear about your lawnmowing expierence. Hearing that makes me thankful I live in an apartment so I don't have to worry about lawn care
