Pool-side fun
First of all, how freaking excited was I yesterday when, while lounging poolside, I turned to my left to find a young woman staring at me...and it was my sister-in-law! And then I heard my brother's voice behind me and once I realized no, I did not in fact have sun-poisoning (besides, it was cloudy) I figured out that they were surprising me in Mexico! Well, they didn't make the trip just for me - her parents are here and so they're all staying just 10 minutes down the beach. Wee! A couple rounds of pina coladas later, we were buzzed and laughing and making plans for dinner tonight. Too surreal!
Also seen at the pool yesterday:
- A group of 70+ women, giggling and gossiping in the hot tub like an older generation's Sex and the City - love it!
-A thin teenage boy wearing an "I Beat Anorexia" tee-shirt. Hate it.
-A PMS-ing yours truly complaining about needing chocolate...and five minutes later, my husband appeared out of nowhere and said "Close your eyes and open your mouth." I've hear that before so I giggled and refused but he insisted so I did and a pebble-sized something hit my tongue. I sucked on it, thinking it was one of his sister's Red Hots (GREAT idea, BTW, Jess) but, when I failed to detect a hint of cinnamon, I bit down and (cue angels singing) CHOCOLATE! An M&M! Dan had gone into the mini-mart and bought a bag to tide over my cravings. He's the best.
Continued Happy Holidays, everyone!

Happy Holidays to you too! R&R during the holidays is much needed, but it comes with a price. It's hard to stay on track, so this New Years, I want to read Dr. Dean Ornish's new book the "Spectrum". He provides you tools to customize a way of eating, managing stress, and exercising that is based on your own desires, needs, and genetic predispositions. Hopefully this will help me figure out what's best for me... Here's a link to an interesting discussion about it: http://www.wellsphere.com/viewGroup.s?id=110918
Hm, I don't understand that boys shirt... it would be a cool idea if it's true, but I tend to feel he is just wearing it for the hell of it.
