t.a.x.e.s.

Done. E-filed. Now where's my return!?! I procrastinated doing my taxes this year. And while I know I'm probably ahead of about 65% of America, perhaps more, I'm behind on the Colleen calendar. Because we cancelled DISH Network today, I had no other means of amusement, er, distraction. I guess that was a sign or something along those lines.

Next week, we head to Red River for the annual ski trip. I'm so looking forward to it! I've toyed with snowboarding and wondering if I should give it a try - but I've not convinced myself yet. I'll be lucky if I can even ski...

...as some of you know, I've been having some back issues the past several months. What started as a stress knot in my back and a "not-so-often" catch in my lower back has evolved into about 4-5 knots on my upper left back, and as of this weekend, a continuous pain in my lower back. I know! It's killer to say the least, but I think since I've been dealing with this for awhile I'm becoming numb to the pain. I've taken it upon myself to make a doctor's appt - this time a REAL doctor - no more chiros! I've got a Friday appt with an orthopaedic doctor - I'll update you with the results then!

As far as the diet goes...last week was not good. It wasn't so much about the quality of the food as it was the quantity. I stuffed about every 100-calorie pack I could find in my mouth, not to mention everything else! I didn't hop on the scale this morning - I didn't want to see in numbers what I could most definitely feel around my waist. This week's a new week - I'm back on it!
