Relaxation

This was a much needed weekend! Very relaxing. On Thursday I had to go to the hospital in the morning for the pre-op appointment, and get some blood drawn and get my chest x-ray. They put a big note in my file that says that I am scared of needles (and IV's). But I made it through that part. Then it was time to go pack up for the weekend. I met up with ES and TS in Leesburg - we were doing a late lunch with CW and GA and her kids at Sweetwater. Then TS and I headed to Penn State to spend the night with MP. And that was fun - just seeing her and catching up. I hadn't seen her since the DC retreat! We originally had plans to hit the town but decided to stay in and just gab. Friday we got up, headed over to St. Joseph's Institute and set up for the retreat. This place is gorgeous - I'll have to post pictures later. Then her oldest child was having an art show at camp, so we went there. It was really cute. We decided to hang out at Penn State and eat at The Hub (their campus gathering place) and made a quick trip to the bookstore. We finally got here about 3:00 and started settling in for the weekend. We had 16 people for the weekend, with 3 drop-ins. We have our own lodge for sleeping - and the rooms are adorable! Me and Skisugar are sharing a room. They are twin beds, and I have a trundle under it. The lodges are log cabins and you just want to stay there forever. Friday night we ordered from Brother's Pizza - they have yummy cheese sticks! Saturday and Sunday the meals are included. On Saturday, PGB and I tried the resistance pool - wow, what a workout (I'm a bit sore from that today). It felt so wonderful. We treated ourselves to the Jacuzzi afterwards.

As usual I've been the last person working and the first one up. But I don't feel like I'm getting a lot done. I have most of A's album down, and my little one done. But I haven't done much on my football album as I anted, and I haven't even started Disney. I won't work on Disney today, but hopefully I can get all of football done, less the titles, before heading home today.
