I'm in heaven

I rarely treat myself to anything special. I've never had a manicure or pedicure, I only get a haircut once or twice a year and I don't spend money on fancy clothes or shoes, all of which made todays experience that much more enjoyable.

*happy sigh*

Today I had my first ever facial today and I am just in heaven! My wonderful friend Angie (who I miss) left some gift certificates with me when she moved away, including one for a 60 minute facial. I finally found the time to go today and it was such a treat! Not only was it a facial treatment but she massaged my neck, shoulders, hand and feet too. I came away all clean and soft and mousturized. I felt like an absolute princess. It was so wonderful and relaxing and left me feeling mellow all day long. So thank you Miss Angie for the wonderful experience. And thank you to whoever created facials... you are my hero!

I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!

Height Check ...

I knew it would happen eventually -- today just happened to be the day. Twice a year we mark the kids heights and ages on our piece of wood kept especially for this purpose. The last several years Tristan has been steadily gaining inches on Chase, coming closer and closer to Chase's height. Today was the day when he surpassed his brothers height. Take a look at the closeup of the stick. Tristan, at age 9 1/2, just barely edged out Chase, age 11 1/2. While Chase knew it was coming, he is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of being smaller than his "little" brother. He, understandably, does not think this is fair. We've had some very frank discussions the last few months about the fact that Tristan is going to be bigger. He has Brian's "big" gene and is going to be a tall and brawny guy like his Dad. Chase on the other hand got a lot of my genes and will probably be a more average height. Tristan is thrilled to be bigger than Chase and has done a good jo...
