Lazy Days and shame on me for not posting

Aloha! Whew, I have not posted in a little while here, but that is probably because the last few weeks have been lazy and not that thrilling. I am sure you all want to hear about how I have been working out and my swimsuit has changed to a completely different color due to the over abundance of chlorine in the gym pool and how I have been laying around on the couch getting only about a quarter of the things that I have on my to-do list done.

Over the past two weekends we have been hanging out with friends, enjoying the lovely clean smell of backyard grown lemons in our kitchen and taking much needed naps on the couch with Mr. Woodrow. Here are some pics:
Probably one of the last times we will be at the Poop Deck as it is in the process of being sold and then probably demolished for some trendy hot spot in Hermosa: mmmm... lemony: I love throwing these down the disposal in the sink cause the scent permeates everything. Woody would hate me saying this, but he snores....loudly...it is like a purr snore. Please please no photos!

Palma Springs

So, this weekend we got away. We headed out to the desert for some 80 degree temps and off-roading. We took the geology tour road through Joshua Tree.
I took tons of photos of rock formations and the vast expanse full of Joshua trees. They are so strange. The weather was perfect...not too hot and not too chilly. We spent most of the day off-road navigating the rocks. The trucks got a bit dirty as well:
After being on the road all day we stayed in Palm Springs. We got in after sunset and came to the Doral Resort (located in Cathedral City) which is where we had our reservation. The resort had overbooked themselves so they sent us over to the Holiday Inn in Palm Springs and paid for our stay. It was nice since the hotel was newly renovated and their pool was awesome and just the thing I needed in the morning.....pool and two HOT TUBS. :) So, I got to swim and gaze out at the snow topped mountains.
Overall a fabulous weekend, even though the truck now needs some welding work done on the front shocks. Somewhere off-road the front left shock just tore off it's bolt. We were able to drive back with it dangling with no problem. We stopped at the Outlet stores in Cabazon which I now notice are not really a good deal at all...in fact most of their prices were retail.
