Cubs baseball. Redbirds Baseball. Nashville Meeting. House redo. Germantown Real Estate.

Alright it's been over a week since I blogged and so much has happened and I've been so busy that this will be a random post of some of what has happened in no particular order. We got the house back on the market and had an open house last Sunday. We changed up a lot of the staging and the outside and the house looks a lot better so hopefully it will go soon because I already have my eye on some houses in Germantown that I want!!!!
This is what the living room looks like since I have rearranged and decluttered. I wish I had a pic of the back yard....K got to work on it Saturday and it is really nice out there. He added a lot of plants and some furniture. It looks so good, I don't know if I will be able to call it the Redneck Riviera this year! While K was busy doing all of that Saturday, J had a baseball game. It was a beautiful day for some baseball too. After his game, we picked up Jackson and Kennon and headed downtown for some Redbirds baseball.
We sat on the bluff and had a great night!
Turns out the bluff is the perfect place to sit when they have fireworks.
Sunday, we went to church and then had breakfast before coming home to get the house ready for the Open House. J had practice that afternoon and K and I went and looked at other open houses while ours was going on. There are 3 we saw in Germantown that we loved and would put offers on right this second if ours had a contract. Sunday was a gorgeous day also and we enjoyed the evening hanging out in our revamped backyard playing some baseball, grilling out and doing some R+F work. I took Monday and Tuesday off of work to take care of some other business. R+F had a new product launch meeting in Nashville late Monday afternoon and night so I headed up there with Deb, Diane and Sherry. There was a lot of chatter at the meeting about this year's convention in San Francisco and we even had some dance practice for it.
We got home late and I slept in Tuesday before heading to the Germantown Country Club with Mel for the Republican Women's Spring Fashion Show and luncheon. Weezer was suppose to go with us but she was back in the hospital. After lunch, we did a little shopping and then I had to get J and Leegan to baseball practice. I did a little 4 mile walk while they were playing ball. Yesterday, I was back at work, which meant back at the gym :) Pilates class, 30 on the bike and a beautiful sunny day made me a happy, happy girl!

Ortho surgeon, Mom's birthday, R+F meeting, Lakehouse, turkey hunting, King's Honor Roll, sweet time with J

Went to the orthosurgeon about my knee and it seems I have lost part of the cartilage between my knee cap and femur and have overused it causing severe inflammation. I was given a cortisone shot and a prescription anti-inflammatory and told to rest. Hopefully this will put it back to normal in a few weeks, if not, I may need some laser surgery done to file down some of the rough ends on the cartilage that is left.
K, Sissy, John, Tay, Mom, Roy and I went to Bonefish Grille Friday night for mom's birthday.
Saturday morning, I had an R+F training meeting given by Traci Bonds in Cordova. It was a really great session and I was glad I got to make it but it caused me to miss J's baseball game where he was the player of the game and received the game ball. K was there and told me all about it though.
After my meeting, K and I headed up to the lakehouse to relax, play the par 3 out back a few times and watch the Final 4. I did a little work and we had Pickwick Pizza deliver dinner. Sunday morning, we got up way before the sun and headed to the hunting lease to try and nab a turkey. We heard several gobbling around us before the sun rose but never saw them. Later that morning, we snuck up on 3 and were almost close enough to shoot but saw they were all hens so it was a no go. By 10:00am, we were pooped so we stopped in at R&B's for some breaky and then had a good long nap back at the lakehouse. The day was beautiful and I spent part of the afternoon on the back deck doing some R+F work. I headed home while K headed back to the hunting lease to try and get another turkey. I picked J up when I got back to Memphis and we went to Sports Authority to get him a new batting helmet, which was a reward for his excellent report card for the last quarter. He made the King's Honor Roll with a 3.56 GPA. After shopping, we grabbed some dinner and dessert (since it was Sunday and we could cheat) at Dixie Cafe.
We both felt pretty rotten after eating all of that sugar and went home and snuggled up in bed.
He's so stinking sweet when he's asleep :)
We woke up yesterday to storms and they got worse as the day went on. I got a call from CTK around 12:30 to pick J up because the electricity was out and they couldn't have school. J spent the rest of the day at work with me, we went home and I collapsed on the couch for the rest of the night. K picked up some Tops BBQ for our dinner and I napped and read the rest of the night. I got up this morning and the sun was out, I didn't have a sugar hangover anymore and it was a little bit warmer than the day before so my mood had improved. At lunch, I went to the gym for the first time in at least 2 weeks and did 30 on the bike, 30 on the treadmill (WALKING, I have been forbidden to run by the orthosurgeon) and 7 minutes stretching. I feel so so so so so much better after finally getting a work out in!!!!!
