Uh, so semi-exciting news I can't really share anywhere else:
We are saving up and planning to use our tax return next year to meet up with DH's family for a reunion... in Hawaii.
All six of us. If the tickets are about $700 a piece, that's $4,200 just in airfare, plus our portion of the eight bedroom condo we're going to be staying in with a bunch of the family AND food.
This is the first time in a very very long time that our future tax return doesn't already have NEEDS associated with it.
Barring anything major (excessive hospital bills or broken vehicles and the likes), we'll be going to Hawaii next June.
That is a very strange sentence to type. We will, of course, say absolutely nothing to the children until we are practically out the door.
I've got a year to get into better shape. Hahahahaha, how many times have I said this? Anyhow, hoping that Hawaii dangling in front of me is enough of a carrot to get me out of my slump and back to exercising. Found a neat app (EveryMove) that gives me "points" for all my exercise, and I can be in competition with myself or friends on facebook or some such. It even has it to where enough points earns me gift cards somehow? Not sure how that works, or what would prevent someone from scamming the system by just inputting whatever they want to get the points quickly.
But I like the quick "earning points" and "beating my old score" thing. A very good incentive for me, I hope.
On a completely different note, my scalp has lots of sensitive, nearly-scabby and semi-scabby areas. It makes me want to shave me head so I can really get a good look at what is going on with everything. If I could pull off the look, I'd go bald in a heartbeat. I, apparently, have too round of a head or something (??) and not big enough balls to go through with it.
