I don’t know why I’ve been letting so much time go between entries.
 
Musikfest was a blast a usual. We got there a lot. Open weekend, we were there Friday – Sunday and we went on my day off on Wednesday. Then my mom came for her whirlwind visit last Friday and after the rain stopped, we took her over on Friday and we also went Saturday and Sunday. I was shocked that my mom actually liked it. She said she’s going to plan a trip to bring my step-dad next year… Part of it might be the fact that I told her there was a Beatles cover band there on Saturday night. LOL
 
Saturday we also went to my grandmom’s 100th birthday party. It was fun. Mom said she saw grandmom cry twice and she hasn’t seen her cry in 50 years. I don’t even think she cried when my grandpop died. It was nice to catch up with cousins I haven’t seen in ages and just about everyone left on my mom’s side of the family got to meet Mich. Oh, and my older brother’s wife finally got to meet her. They all loved her and she loved the obvious (fun) family members.
 
Mich’s last day at FedEx was on Monday, but she’s not really enjoying time off. She starts the Fall semester next Monday and she is stressing already. She has a paper due that she hasn’t even finished yet and she knows they will have tests the first week that she is trying to study for and she’s trying to get all her background check and medical history paperwork approved in time. It’s a mess.
 
I got my hair done and I absolutely hated the color when it was first done. I should have known better. I hated the color of the sample. It’s gotten a little better since I’ve washed it a few times. Anyway, I think I just realize now that I am just never going to be 100% happy with this eco salon and the color they use. It just never looks right… so I’m going back to a regular salon with chemicals. I don’t know how to break it to my stylist. I go next week to a different place.
 
We are in the final stretch of our workout plan. 1.5 weeks left. I told Mich to find me another plan before it’s over because I don’t want to risk slacking even for a day and getting out of my routine. I thought that I hadn’t reached my goal yet, but then again, I was wrong about the wait I wanted to reach… Basically, I said to myself that I wanted to be the weight I was when we first started dating. I thought that was 10 lbs lighter than I am now… but nope, I am actually now the weight I was when we first started dating 5 years ago… I’ve lost about 15 lbs. I still have another 30 to go, but this to me is more about building muscle. I love the way my arms and shoulders are starting to look!
