We will be in Puerto Rico in just one week!! Squee! I've never been there, so I'm way excited and will hopefully have some photos to share in a couple of weeks. We'll be there a total of 5 days, 4 nights. Hopefully all will go well weather-wise, as we're supposed to get dumped on by a winter storm mid-week. 12-24 inches, they say. =( Hubby is currently sick, so I'm hoping he'll be well by next weekend...and I have a sinus infection I need to get taken care of before I fly. Otherwise, SQUEE!
I joined Flylady again and will be receiving a daily digest of challenges, etc. With my back and head being the bane of my existence for the past year, the house has fallen into craptasticness. Not sure how much I'll be able to do, but I'm going to meet as many of the challenges as I can. I'm pretty okay except for things like cleaning the bathtub, or anything involving me on my hands and knees or awkward positions or lifting/carrying. So, maybe that eliminates 40%, but who's keeping metrics? I'll do what I can...
And yes, I do have a writing assignment that my good friend, Sarah, passed on to me because she is so busy freelancing! =) Sarah now lives in Puerto Rico, so I hope to visit her next week. You should visit her blog, Sarita Writes, because she is one cool chica! Anyway, Sarah & her husband Paul moved there a couple of years ago to become coffee bean farmers & give Sarah a chance to launch her full-time writing career.
Guess I better get writing...so I don't let Sarita down!! Have a fantastic week!!
