Update

It has been a busy March so far and my apologies for being a little MIA from the blogosphere these days. In the last month and since my last post I've enjoyed a family day at PlanetX which was so much fun despite bruising my tailbone (ouch! Mike's accidental fault by the way), suffered through the unavoidable yearly cold/cough/sore throat phase, enjoyed an awesome weekend in Des Moines with my sister & now I'm looking forward to leaving for Las Vegas this Friday after work!

Check out pics of the 'space bikes' we all rode at Planet X, you literally do 360 degrees on a bike! It was scary and thrilling and I can't say I'll ever need to do it again. I'll see if I can get some video uploaded sometime, too.

I raced my bro Jason and put up a fight though I lost anyways in total revolutions

My trip to visit Jessie in Des Moines was highlighted with shopping and culinary treats I never get due to my picky non-seafood eating spouse. I had crab at Joe's Crab Shack, shrimp & table side guacamole at a tequila bar and we had a sushi picnic for lunch, too. It was so great, thanks Jessie & Chris!

And now we are off to Vegas tomorrow night until Wednesday! Yes, we will be celebrating St. Patty's there, all the better because of my very Irish hubby, oh yeah and we are taking these hats to wear, too.
