Anna is beat by the heat on Friday

I went over by a couple points today cuz I had a hearty dinner after working all day outside in 110 degree heat. The boys' birthday party is tomorrow and I had to ready the yard so I filled about 5 garbage bags with yard waste, threw out a bunch of old pool stuff, and most my time was spent building this cool structure to hide the pool equipment. It was pretty unsightly before; now I think it looks pretty cute. It was so much work though...over two days I dug 6 holes, filled 'em with cement, built the frame (lots of cutting 2x4s), built the fake window and door, then put the bamboo stuff on and the roof was kinda hard to get the angle right as you can see, and then I put some christmas lights under the eves. Cute!With that project and getting ready for the boys' party tomorrow and my road trip (I leave in 36 hours and I haven't started packing or anything) I have not been able to get to the gym but I honestly think I burned just as many calories working outside and inside.

  1. Good job on the little house! It looks good. And I bet you did burn as many calories as you would at the gym. Maybe more. You're like Rocky. Training doing manual labor. It's good stuff. Your pool looks very inviting.
