More Bits and Bobs

So what else has happened in the last month?

Riley got a furcut. It only took me about two weeks to complete it. Between cuts she was walking around looking like she was wearing furry chaps on her thighs. Poor dog.

She also got a new collar, a big thank you to her grandfather for mailing it to her. Doesn't she look fancy?

I stopped using shampoo. So there's that. Did you just stop reading? No seriously, I am trying something new. I have very curly hair and I cannot bring myself to do the whole "no poo" thing, so I am doing a modified version and only using conditioner to "wash" my hair. I'll try to use shampoo only once a week. Supposedly there are enough chemicals in conditioner to clean your hair without also stripping it dry. So far so good. (Dave may have a different response...)

I also started Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, and just typing that is embarrassing. I have never watched "The Biggest Loser," I have no desire to, I am not a fan of hers, but I needed to do something. And come on, 20 minutes a day? I can totally handle that. Again, so far so good. I am still on the first workout, day seven, and it will take me about 37 days to complete it since I don't work out when we travel. I'm not that hardcore. But I figure I need to be in a bathing suit come August 30th, so if that's not motivation I don't know what is.

We have done some travelling recently. We went to Lake Maggiore for the Jubilee (that seems so long ago), Norway for the fjords (it was fjordirific) and are off to Provence today. Yeah, sun!!! Our upcoming trips are to Switzerland (I am dragging Dave on hikes around the base of the Matterhorn. I am going to be Jillian Michaels ripped by then) and to Asia for our 10th, yes TENTH wedding anniversary. I can't wait! Dave will also have a birthday while in Asia. He'll be %&. I am turning #@ in August. Did I mention how young we are?

I think that's all for now. Au revoir!
