Still lagging...more pics

So frustrating! I went to the gym for two hours on Monday and an hour and a half yesterday but just could not make it today...I am just so tired. And sore...and achy. Seriously, could I be older right now?? I am so frustrated with myself because I was bound and determined to get to the gym tonight. I don't know if I felt sick because I was achy from being sore or if I was just overly sore or if I am just a tired grumpy biatch that cannot get over the lag. Whatever the case may be, I missed the gym tonight and won't be there again until Saturday. I am very bummed about that.

On another note, I am legally and officially a Spencer. We've had our marriage license for a while and, before we left for Australia, I received my new social security card which made it a bit more official. But today Todd and I went to get my license changed as well. Guys - why can't you take OUR name? I miss VanHook. That is who I am - my blood. And what a pain to change my name yet again. But it is all said and done. Now just to change it on all my bills, mailings, magazine subscriptions, etc.

As you can tell, I am pretty grumpy today. I am tired (which I shouldn't be since I slept like I was dead last night) and not feeling all that great. Just achy and sore. Almost flu'ish but I think it is just lag. I don't know and...didn't I already gripe about this?

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I am thankful everyday for my incredible, INCREDIBLE family that I miss with all my heart. My awesome, supportive friends that have been with me through it all. My friendship with Bruce who will always be important to me. My sweet fuzzy babies that mean the world to me. My Tucson family that has been so welcoming and loving. My beautiful stepdaughter who is a ray of sun. And, last but CERTAINLY not least, my wonderful husband that I love and adore with all my heart. Better late than never. I am also thankful for my health - now if I would just get back to the gym regularly (oops, there I go again). So thanks to all of you for making my life full and happy.

Below are more pics...enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
