Hip Surgery - what the??

Following some 'minor' hip surgery, which I put off to enjoy Snowboard season with all the lovely snow on the east coast this year, I'm now realizing ALL the things I CAN'T currently and probably for some of the summer get out and enjoy!
Now I'm not so sure I made the right choice based on the following things being hard if not impossible to do right now:
1) the simplist of yard/garden work (read bending over to weed, plant, put down mulch)
2) possibly wakeboard, though honestly I didn't do this the last 2 seasons so I may be ok with this
3) play golf
4) ride my bike; don't misinterpret that I go on radical bike rides, but I do have "bike gang" in which a group of us do a Saturday or Sunday bike ride on a course around the city that always includes 3-5 stops at favorite watering holes
5) any workouts that involve more than walking, stationary bike that doesn't make you hunch over the bike or light upper body

Here's a random thought for you

Having absolutely broken my NYE resolution of keeping up w/writing on my blog, here I am a mere TWO months since my last entry. What's amusing is that along with my on again off again blogging style, I see a pattern with our still unfinished bathroom project that we started in October though we're slowly adding touches here and there.

For now the biggest factors missing are molding at the ceiling and lights over the vanity mirrors.
In figuring out why we are such procrastinators I think I've realized a few things:
1) Money (it DOES make the world go 'round, at least when it comes to house projects)
2) Fun things tend to push off our house projects (i.e 3 snowboarding trips, 1 golf trip, 1 Irish Festival, 1 girls spa weekend, on so on...)
3) MPS (male project speed) versus FPS (female project speed). I've realized that women tend to want to start and finish a project within a 2-3 weekends, while men work on the project when they get the urge or the push by the wife; and they seem to be OK w/unfinished projects.
4) In the house we buy together, it will need nothing more than changing of paint colors or things I'm capable of doing myself. No wiring, no hanging of molding; the only exception to the rule is if we buy one in need of new kitchen which will then be in the hands of contractors.

Of course I realize that even painting in the next house will bring up all kinds of other issues as the hubster enjoys picking paint colors and we rarely agree on them. But that's an issue that I won't have to worry about for quite some time.

New Years Resolutions

The biggest one: to get caught up on the pictures and posts for my blog. HA, I often wonder where all my time goes.

Busy Birthday Week

Well, the hubby finished the fence on Thursday and I will take some pics later this week and post them. It looks like a pro did it.
We went out of town to visit friends on Saturday and got back in time for our football game (we lost by 2 point, but still in the playoffs). After some drinks and hotdogs at the best place in town for dogs, City Dog, I worked on landscaping along the side of the house by porch light. Then we put out some decorations for Halloween, though we have a few more to put out and we want to carve a pumpkin.
I don't see us doing too much this week though. It's my birthday on Tuesday and tonight we're heading to DC to see the Redskins/Eagles game. Then Wednesday, I celebrate the birthday with my girlfriends. SO, hopefully I can finish up some outdoor projects on Thursday before it gets dark. This is, afterall, the last week I can work outside during the weekenights. I really hate the Daylight Savings fall back thingy -- at least at night. I DO like getting up when it's light outside, however.
