Weekend Round-Up, Week 4 2012

Well I'm sitting here in disbelief that it is Sunday night already! Where the heck did my weekend go?

Ohhh I'll tell ya where it went!

I actually had to work today. It was voluntary. I work for a large hospital system in the Columbus area in the Women's Health Dept. I also work for the Quality Dept. as well, but the majority of my time is spent in Women's Health. How lucky am I? Seriously there is no place I'd rather work! Anyhoo they needed some help with maternity tours today so I filled in and I'm glad I did. I met a lot of nice expecting families. They had some great questions too! It's cute to see the first time parents...so concerned about everything.

The best part was that I updated my status on facebook saying "Doing maternity tours at (hospital that shall remain nameless) *Gulp*, and a few of my friends that I don't see often congratulated me on my pregnancy. Are you kidding me??? OMG I would D.I.E. if I was pregnant! Good Lord I'm way to old!

Every year the campground we keep our RV at in the summers has a Winter Blahs party. We went to said party last night. We had a great time. I had my camera and didn't take a stinkin picture! One family that I was really hoping to see wasn't able to make it. Big fat bummer on that. However, we did get to see quite a few others so it was good.

Actually our RV is in our driveway right now. We did this solely to piss off our neighbors! I kid, I kid! We actually pulled it because our brand new RV had a leak and we had to have it fixed. We don't know if we are going back to that campground though. I guess time will tell. If we don't go back, I'll definitely miss everyone, but I also look forward to new adventures. It's really all about my husband. The man loves to camp. And I love that man when he is camping! So content and relaxed. That's the hubby I fell in love with.

Well who knows what is in store for this week. Right now there are no plans for next weekend. I'm hopeful it stays that way because I have a zillion and one things to do in this house.

Take care!

I Have So Much To Say......But I'll Just Start With This

Hey All!

It's been such a long time! I can't believe that summer is OVER! It's been a rather eventful summer. In fact, so much so that I'll be glad when life settles down a bit. Oh well, if nothing else, it gave me some fodder for my blog!

One of my favorite things about summer is that it is camping season. My husband LOVES to camp. Me....actually I love it too! When we first met 9 years ago and he told me he liked to camp, I thought, "Well, that was fun while it lasted", thinking that we likely wouldn't see each other again. I'm soooo not a roughing it kind of person! With his next words, my ears perked up a bit. He said "Actually, I kind of camp at the Holiday Inn." WHAT??? He went on to say that he had an RV, with air, a washer and dryer, basically everything but a diswasher. After the first time camping, I was hooked! We sold that RV a couple years after we were married. My son was at an age where I definitely didn't feel comfortable leaving him for a weekend. No doubt my home would have been party central. Ummm, No Thank You!

Now that he is older, and away at school most of the time, we decided we needed to get into the camping scene again. One day, Hubs comes home with this:

I refer to this as my "Summer Home." Ahhh, I absolutely love going to my little home away from home.

One of the best things about camping, or staying at one particular campground, are the people. We ended up with a great group of people around us! Unfortunately I don't have pictures of them all! I do have a few though. These are our neighbors, Chris, Tamie, and their sweet daughter Tabytha.

And there is this big guy, Clem, who has single-handedly keeps us laughing till our stomachs hurt!

But the main reason I like to camp is this.......

There is absolutely NOTHING better than sitting around a campfire that the hubs builds, just relaxing and taking in the sights, sounds, and feeling of nature. Add some friends to that and it is sheer perfection!
