Hi everyone,

Over the weekend we were able to get out to see a couple of movies, but seemed to spend a lot of time at home as well. On Friday, Ric and I joined up with the Hutchinseses to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I'll comment on it later, but save your $10 and pay $2 when it's at the cheap theater. Saturday, we worked around the house, and in the evening I had dinner with my sister at Market City Cafe (don't order the trout unless you want your dinner to be looking at you) and met up with Ric to see Expelled. Sunday, we had church and a free meal at Liz's parents' place and spent the afternoon working on the condo. We had dinner at El Pollo Loco because I was tired of sitting at home. Yes, I know I'll be a restless stay-at-home mom.

I continue to work out every day after work, but have had a bit of a setback lately because I'm having some hip trouble. I went to the orthopedic doctor twice. He x-rayed me both times and the first time he gave me a cortisone shot, which made no real difference. This time he referred me to get another MRI because he thinks my hip looks fine and the pain may be related to my back problems. He's wondering if something has gotten worse in the back, which is causing the hip trouble. Right now I can't even run a full lap, which is really frustrating. So I'm walking 4-5 miles every day (at least I can still do that!). We'll see if the MRI shows anything interesting.

So, besides an MRI and a regular chiropractor appointment this week, we've got a movie night with the Agadonis and pretty much nothing else planned. I need to get motivated with the condo a little more. I didn't do any painting last week, but I did get a lot of things organized. I'd like to be able to say one room is completely finished, but I'm still a ways off from that. The bedrooms are the nearest things close to done, so at least I can feel relaxed in those rooms.
