30 x 100 Mine won't be that big because my yard isn't that big. I can go up to 6 x 24 however which I think would be just right since my garden is a raised bed. Plus I need to save room in the yard for my dogs

hiya Dev!

Nobody cares what you did yesterday or what you are going to do tomorrow. What is important is what you are doing NOW to solve our problem

Sorry I went poof yet again. I am getting my life back on track finally. Work is fantastic and my boss has already started the ball rolling on getting me to progress up through the company. My co-workers are a unique group, but easy to work with. It's a bit strange working for a large international corporation, but the benefits are incredible. The company and my co-workers are in to fitness and keeping healthy/fit which is a big incentitive to get into the gym. I have gotten back into jogging and I have been taking my dogs with me. My short term goal is to complete a 5k on May 31 which is our local "Step Out for Diabetes." My co-workers are supportive and may even join me.

It's hard to believe I've been in my house for almost a full year. Life is really changed from a year ago and even though I've gone through a couple rough points this year, it has been a good year. My Spring flowers are all blooming and look great. Now that Spring and warmer weather has arrived, it's time to start the yard/landscaping/garden projects This past weekend, I started installing stepping stones from my front door to my driveway and started expanding my garden. I also had to mow my grass on sunday and of course on monday my allergies slammed me. This coming weekend I need to finish installing the stepping stones and finish expanding the garden. Yes, I'm loving that Spring has arrived!!!

Hope all is well with everyone and I will try to make more frequent appearances here. If anyone woud like to support me and the American Diabetes Association during their Step Out to Fight Diabetes, please visit me at my walk page http://http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=5150&px=1763428

Thanks Billie. Times have not been too good, but then my allergies sucked the life out of me recently. Thankfully it's not a timed event, I'm just competing against myself. The last time I did the 5K Walk for Daibetes, I did it in about 25 minutes. This year I would like to finish at around 20 minutes. It's not a flat course and the hills wipe me out. A couple girls from work may join me since our company is really supporting the American Heart Associations walking campaign and we can kill two birds with one stone.

Things are going very well for me. A year ago this month, I bought a little house and have loved every minute of it. My garden was 6 x 8 last year and this year it will be 6 x 24. Today I finished installing stepping stones from my front door to my driveway This weekend I will finish expanding my garden. I have the borders, but I need to prep the ground, secure the borders and fill it with soil. I had started seeds, but they didn't do too well so I will be starting another group of seeds. I will have 3 different types of tomatoes, basil, peppers, broccoli, parsly as well as flowers.

I'm enjoying life again with my house and with work. I haven't gotten in to the gym, but I have been walking (weather permitting and allergy permiting) and I have been working in my yard. Now that I have health benefits again, I got into to see a doctor for my migraines who also specializes in sports medicine. He was not thrilled with my knees and diagnosed patellar issues with both knees which didn't surprise me. He wants me to start some physical therapy for my knees to prevent further damage and therapy for my neck to help reduce migranes associated with a tight neck. I've been having a lot of pain in my right wrist which I thought was tendonitis due to badly breaking it many many years ago. Turns out I was correct I do have tendonitis, but it is due to a small tear in the tendon I'm not sure when the tear occurred, but using the computer a lot as well as cold, damp weather has caused a lot of irritation to the tendon and pain. The doctor gave me a wrist brace that immobilizes my wrist and thumb as well as a NSAID patch to apply to my wrist when the pain gets bad. I just need to give my wrist time to rest and hope the tendon heals. Life is never dull.....

No kidding. To add insult to injury...I was rear ended on monday. Traffic was stopped, but the kid behind was distracted by trying to make a call on his phone and thought he saw traffic start to move so he hit the gas, slamming into my bumper. There is minor damage to my bumper, his car may be totalled (given the amount of damage along with the age of the car) and I have some neck and back aches. I wasn't hurt bad and I wasn't sore enough to go to the doc on monday, but I'm going to the doctor tomorrow since it's not getting better as quickly as I expected. Ahh life is such a joy sometimes.....

All better from the accident. I still need to get my truck in to get the minor damage to the bumper fixed.

My garden is a bit behind. The weather did not work with me in the beginning of April and I had to delay planting. However, now my peppers and tomatoes as well as some herbs are doing well. My lawn is better than last year, but I'm still trying to kill some broad leaf weeds in it. I managed to kill some of the weeds in the front lawn and now need to seed it, but the weeds in the side yard have been tougher.

As for work.....it's going well. We are busy which is good and my boss is still working on advancing me in the company. I'm taking some classes for work and I passed the first of three exams which helps me at work. Last wednesday our company had it's annual "Global Day of Giving" and our PR Department selected our office, as well as a select group of others that are world wide, to profiled in a company newsleter. Pictures from our day can be found on flickr.com key words "dayofgiving 2008". Our pictures are in the Lexington Group. I will try to post a link to them.

Outside of work....well I participated in the American Diabetes Association's Step Out for Diabetes today. I opted for the 5k instead of the 1 mile fun walk. I finished the 5k in 28 minutes, 45 seconds (11 minutes, 30 seconds per mile average). Not the fatest time in the world, but I was happy with it considering I didn't get to train as much as I would have liked, it was high 70's low 80's this morning with high humidity, and it wasn't a flat course.

Overall life is good.....
