Keep the Clock Ticking!

DAY 3 of the infamous Stage 1

So...Here we are on the daily blog of our trip to the wondrous state of Arizona! A few things to point out that happened over the past week that I neglected to mention.

One . . . I managed to slam my right index finger in the door of my Mustang which still hurts like the dickens. My nail is all black and blue and i will probably lose the nail in the long run. It was pretty bad, ya know, blood spurting everywhere and all.

Two . . . we found out that our dog, Jango is far from the tough badass he thought he was. He seems to like the ladies no problem as he mingles with all the female patrons at the hotel, but when it comes to other men roaming around he isn't so nice. He likes to grumble under his breath acting all tough. The other night he was strutting his toughness at the local garbage dude. The kid wasn't deterred by the mumbles of our dog and came over to say hello. When he said hi to the dog, Jango jumped back in fright and actually shit himself! lol it was just too funny. Apparently he had the crap scared right out of him. Great watchdog.

So with that out of the way, I should mention that today I decided it was time to hit a workout and get back into some sort of fitness if at all possible before I get too huge and fat. I only brought along so many items of closes and I'd like to be able to fit in them throughout the trip. I popped in a new Tony Horton One on One DVD in the hotel room and blasted that out. One on One on One leg for legs...it was a killer! I even pushed out about 60 pushups and about 80 various ab exercises.

Later, we went out for supplies and for a little subway lunch and ended up hitting the mall in Auburn as well. I decided I needed a pair of converse all stars. Funny thing...i remember my mother buying me these when I was a kid much to my disappointment as they were totally not cool. Like my taste in food, so changes other things around me and now I thing they look pretty sweet. lol

While at the mall I picked up a little surprise for Jamie. It is our ten year wedding anniversary tomorrow and she had been talking about wanting new wedding bands for our tenth, so I secretly picked them up.

We also had a great night out at the Castle Restaurant in Leicester. We have made a sort of tradition of hitting this place for our wedding anniversaries and knowing we were heading out of the area, I made a reservation to go tonight. They are closed Mondays so we celebrated a day early. I gave her the rings and she was pretty pumped about those. It almost felt like it did when I surprised her with her engagement ring so many years ago.

Well its off to bed. Another day tomorrow!
