Girls' weekend was awesome! We had way too much fun. Poor Brian only gets to see Carrie from Friday night to Sunday mornings now because of his job and they're newly weds Then he had 4 more girls in his house taking up his "wife time" but he dealt with it pretty well. He puts up with us so well. I only saw him roll his eyes or cover his face about a dozen times...not too bad Friday night we got there around 10 pm and just stayed up for girl talk until Brian said we had to go to bed (at 1 am) so we went to bed but kept up the girl talk for about another 2 hours. Next morning we got to see how all our babies had been switched around. The wolves got switched the most. Shadow & Shy are no longer together but that's because Shadow has a new girlfriend (Maya) so Shy gets to be w/ her real boyfriend Juno and Search finally got a new alpha female in the form of sweet little Misha. We don't trust Juno (he's attacked several of times before) so we sectioned him off and played w/ Shy then we hung out w/ Shadow & Maya. We don't go in w/ the alphas unless Danielle (their owner) is there. Then there was Freddy (lynx) and Aries (lion) time, then we went to see all the leopards and then we decided we were hungry. Off to lunch we went, after that Carrie decided she wanted to see manatees so we went up to Apollo beach, we saw nothing, then we sat on the viewing deck enjoying the BEAUTIFUL day and the next thing you know there are 5 manatees around us! How crazy is it that I'm more excited about manatees that I couldn't even touch than the animals I got to spend time with? Oh well. So we went back "home" and Danielle had the alphas out. Search was loving on me, then Tammie pissed him off, I loved on Misha for a few minutes then went back to Search after he had chilled back out. Tammie came up from behind him (which you don't do to a wolf!!!) and since he was still pissed at her he snapped, but it was my arm he snapped at! Then he stuck his nose in my belly and pushed me away so he could snap at her without me in the way. Then Kat, Stacy and I went to love Freddy (who doesn't like Tammie), Tammie showed up, pissed him off and he swatted me in the head of course he immediately apologized in his kitty way. So now I'm pissed, I told Tammie that I didn't want to be near the same animals as her for the rest of the weekend, I mean if that had been Aries I could have been knocked out! My camera didn't work very well so I didn't get many if any pics of me w/ the babies. Oh well.

Bootcamp started Monday. It sucked and made me feel all the next day. Wednesday's session wasn't much better. PJ and I have been hitting the heated therapy pool when we're done and it feels great but we have to hang out with 80 year olds because that's all that's in there. And I'm obviously a glutton for punishment because I'm still working out w/ Tammie & Stacy on Tues. & Thurs. nights, Pilates @ home alone on Fri. & Sat. and Studio Cycling (spinning) on Sundays. I'll be a whole new me by the time I get preggers.

This Saturday on top of being my favorite Irish day (yep I'm 95%) it's also the day the races start again. The car looks flat out mean this year! We've added horsepower and increased the torque. Last year we had an ugly underpowered car and averaged 3rd place and missed all the big wrecks. This year we're higher power w/ the best driver but a pretty car so we'll most likely get plowed out of spite. We'll just have to wait and see!

Yippee!! Life is still good! I'll try to post pics next time.
