Hi, everyone! Nelms and I are sitting here just grinning like you wouldn't believe!

We are in Thailand and getting ready to go to Sydney, Australia. Woohoo! We'll be there for a few days, and then on to Auckland, New Zealand, and then to MERMAID'S!!!!

We both miss you guys and hope you've had a great week and a wonderful weekend! We'll try to check back in a couple of days.

Mermaid and P, don't worry...your friends, mom, aunt, uncle, co-workers, neighbors, and stray animals have nothing to worry about! LOL! The only thing we'll "take" is memories and pictures!!! LOL!

AWESOME!! Have a blast!

It is blowing a gale and has rained non stop for 3 days (hope this changes for IP and Nelms ); the wedding is going to be a wash out. I might not be able to post until Sunday night unless there is internet access in the hotel. So have a good weekend everyone!!

The Weekend

The wedding was great although it rained non stop for the whole 48 hours. Even though P said I looked fab in my new outfit, I felt like absolute sh!t because I'm still a bit bloated (fat ankles, popping out of my bra). Plus my food choices were limited and not the best. I drank champagne and regretted it today - I got my usual sinus issues when drinking the grape and I'm sure that did not help the bloat either. However, I was not hungover

P has promised to drag my bloated a$$ to the gym at 5am tomorrow. I know I will absolutely not want to get up but I've got to get back into it and there's nothing like early morning cardio to slap you into shape.

 

[mermaid]

No, didn't do the AM cardio and had a guilt trip all day about it. So ate clean and went to the gym tonight. It was bursting to the seams with grunters(being a Monday) so did 45 mins cardio.

1/2 cup cottage cheese
