Flying trip to A-town


Late Friday, after enduring 24 hours of excruciating back pain (stress and the way I tense up on the eliptiKILL wreak havoc on my shoulders … yowza!) I decided to get the hell outta’ Dodge. I left the hubs to do “boy stuff,” loaded up Coop and headed to A-town to see my mom.

I hadn’t had any time to hang with just her and Cooper in months, so it was a much-needed reunion. Aside from “my boys,” my mom is my absolute bestie, which makes the long breaks between visits a little hard to handle.

We didn’t do much, which is exactly what we all needed—just puttered around town, checked out garage sales and Good Will (I LOVE the Abilene GW … they always have the best bargains … including a 2009 calendar I’ve been hunting down for a whopping $1.25, who-hoo!), playing in the kiddie pool and mowing the yard (burning those calories in 105-degree temps, yeah, baby!).

Came home early Sunday exhausted (um, did I mention that my mom’s air conditioner was out … hello, Sweat City), but completely recharged.

Thanks for the great visit, Mimi!
