More Randomness

Here are more pictures from last weekend.

I had never been wine tasting so my friend took me. After my five tastes, I was looped. Wine really hits me hard since gastric bypass surgery.

This is my friend shopping while I took slightly tipsy pictures of her with her cart full of wine:




Later that day, we had to check a cat for a friend. We drank his alcohol and took pictures on his patio and texted them to him:

I took the liberty of posing his movable artwork:


Since we always do everything backward, after we drank all the alcohol, we ate lunch. Yes, that is a martini in the background. The soup was the most delicious pea soup I have ever eaten. It was slightly sweet:


I have more pictures I hope to get posted tomorrow from last weekend.

This weekend was spent at another softball tournament all day Saturday. The girls took the trophy again. This is #1 and me after sitting in 30 mph winds, eating lots of dust:


Today we started working on putting in a new lawn on our new property. I'm too tired to tell you how much work we did. We worked for 10 hours straight stopping only once to eat. I did more today, physically than I used to do in a month when I was fatter. I'm exhausted, but happy.

And how was your weekend?

Victory!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous yesterday. It was a warm 70 degrees F and the whole family had the day off.

Mr. Sign took the girls to the bookstore and I got myself together and trekked outside to do some yardwork. Keep in mind that last year, I was so mad about not having weight loss surgery that I didn't do much of anything. I was so focused on having surgery during the summer that really nothing else mattered.

I started out pulling last years dead flowers and leaves out of the front raised flower beds. As I stood on top of the landscaping bricks uncovering tupils and daffodils, I felt like I was a king on a mountain. I can bend and move like never before.

Mr. Sign came home and helped me tackle the garden. It was funny because there was still some snow on the ground and yet it was warm.

As we finished up, I realized that it was indeed a good thing that I didn't have surgery last summer. I would have never felt as good as I do now and I get to spend the whole summer feeling great.
