Shit, where have I been??

God, it's been EON's since I posted, and a ton of stuff has happened in between ~ so let's get you up to speed a bit. In May I decided that I wanted to travel some, and perhaps purchase a second home, so I took off out West, and spent a few weeks in the Vegas / Reno areas checking out homes, schools, parks, shopping etc.,

Around May 28th I took off home to Ireland & England to visit friends & family and show off my kids. At the end of June, from there, I went to Greece with my reunion class, and I fell in love with the place. Stayed there for 7 weeks! Found a home, bought it, furnished it, came back to the states. It's literally 40 steps away from the beach, and gorgeous.

I've been taking care of some stuff here, (bills, yard, car maintenance etc.,) and will be flying back to Greece somewhere at the end of beginning of Oct to pay some taxes, and open bank accounts etc.,

Since I've been back here I've been working out like a maniac ~ Jules has had me "spinning" 4 times a week in a basic class, and has been bugging me that I'm now ready for her advanced spinning classes --- Me, I don't think so!! I have lost 6lbs in 3 weeks, so that's a bonus. God knows, I feel like I'm dying everytime I get on those fucking bikes, and after the one hour class, I'm dead. I'm soaked through, my legs are like jello & I'm literally seeing stars ;-) Don't even get me started about how sore my arse is, BUT(T), it has to be good for me, right??? Today I had a session with a personal trainer who took me through a circuit of weight training, on those machines. I did all my upper body and lower body work outs, and am such a weakling up top -- I can only use about 20-30lbs of weights on my arms, but my legs - they are SO Strong - I am able to leg press 200lbs!!! (Must be all that wrestling I do in my spare time)!!!

Anyway, it's kinda nice to be back, of course it makes me want to get involved in all this stuff again ~ I do miss bossing people around, and having people at my beck and call ;-) so stay tuned.....
