So nice to get out and do something fun!
With having to be trapped inside for so long with all the smoke and heat these last few weeks we got such cabin fever! We decided to take today off. Because we work out of our house it is hard to seperate work from home life. There are times Mark and Brian work both Sat. and Sunday and are editing late into the night and barely taking breaks. So today we took a family day. After church we came home and watched a movie then decided to go bowling ( which I havent done in probably 20 years! Naturally I broke 3 nails!!Other than that, I had the best game first game! Then Brian had the best 2nd game and Mark beat us on the 3rd game. Our friend Philip was having an off night I think. Lindsay just watched and took pictures…
then we decided we were all hungry so we went to Buca Di Beppo’s. Its a family style Italian Restaurant. It was sooo good! I love the smell of Italian food! I love how it tastes but I doubt that it is going to be a good thing when I go weigh in tomorrow! Yikes!
Monday morning we hit the ground running to get the next slideshow up and I will be starting our first album of the wedding season very soon….! Exciting!
So what do you like to do to get out and have fun doing??

hmmm for a solo activity, driving is what i like =) non-solo stuff, just meeting up with friends, and meeting new people, always a good time
Hi! Looks like you had a good diversion!!! We go bowling about once a year if we need to or not…we go see a movie..yesterday we finally got to see Prince Caspian…we go for a walk up a mountain… we go out for a coffee… our son plays soccer or tennis with friends….
I havent bowled in over 20 years too. the last time I was 32 years old and had a 200 game, not bad for an old guy, before that when I was around 13 years old I was on a bowling team and my average was around 245 a game. I should get back into it, I always had a blast tossing that 14lber down the lanes.
:giggle:My favorite sport these days is also Buca!! :laugh:

We used to take mountain walks when I was little. Today we like to see a movie, play board games, have friends over for BBQ, and I love to putter in my deck and garden.
@dimsom -
I love getting out and driving. I would rather drive than fly somewhere! LOL…and I have done that! With the gas prices as they are unless it is an essential errand we have cut it out…sigh
I am glad the smoke cleared. It was kind of weird. Glad you had fun bowling!
I still haven’t weighed in..BAD>> I feel so bad about myself and my weight issues…:( I don’t bowl because I don’t want to break a nail..LOL…looks like you guys had so much fun!! Miss you!!
@portiajules - aww we miss you too! Dont feel bad …that is guilt and guilt makes you eat more. I am preaching to myself this morning too!! I didnt make it into WW yesterday
realized today that I am letting guilt rule my world. I am not going to let it because I was on a roll and I need to keep going forward not backward!!! Forgive myself and move on!!! Plus the gym needs to be in the equation. I keep putting that off too. I keep finding excuses to not go. Like yesterday I worked on an album all day.Went to bed at 11 pm with sore eyes which have.been bothering me since all the smoke it did something to my eyes. I am going to have to go get them checked out. Ugh one more thing on my list!
@joyfulphotography - Thanks!!! And yes it was weird! Did you get any of it up there? Yes, we need to get out more and I am thining we need to do it on a weekly basis! For some sanity…:sunny:
man, one of these days I’m gonna go up there and go bowling with y’all. We just went to Buca di Beppo a couple of nights ago too. It sure was relaxing to put on about 3lbs of complex carbs…. :coolman:
I have been a slug with working out the last two days..I had been doing GREAT rollerblading every day and doing yoga..but it is now in the mid 90s with high humidity..and i JUST DON”T WANT TO DO IT!! DARN!!!
@kennyahn - Ahhh Kenny I love your sense of humor! Are you a good bowler? That would be awesome to go bowling with you! I think its time for a Southern Ca. get together up here!
We are hoping to continue an annual Tahoe Shoot Out with Nancy and George (Mommyfish) in the fall. We did our first one last year and had such a blast! We got a timeshare and spent the weekend cooking, eating, shooting and talking…essentially relaxxing! So come on up!!! Bring your camera cuz we do fun things that George sets up…like take 15 shots in 15 min. It was a good way to learn how to measure your shots and what you shoot and to make the best of each one. Then we all came together and looked at all the shots and tried to guess who shot which shots. It was a fun exercise!!! We are gonna do more fun things like that!
If anyone else is interested in meeting up for this we would have to make sure to get a head start on getting rooms! So speak now if this is something you want to do!

@portiajules - I finally made it to the gym!!! Did 30 min cardio and 30 min on the circuit! Yay!!!!!!!!!! I got my juicer out and started that up again so this is finally coming back together for me! I dont know how I got sidelined but I sure did! I know you can do whatever you put your mind to, Charlotte! Go for it!
