Didn't get very far

OK, so we didn't get as far as I had liked to with the applie pie making, but we did get to peel and core the apples (ok, hubby did). I decided to freeze my pie filling so that I can make apple pie for the holidays from our very own apple tree.

I jumped on the scale and realized I have lost 5lbs. WOW! That right there made me think the pie can wait! I'm on a roll here. It must be all these fresh fruits and veggies, because the only exercise I've been getting is walking to the garden and back. I've been waiting for the day I can go back on the eliptical machine. Since I can't really put much weight on my arm yet, I've not been exercising other than the things my physical therapist has given me to do.

It might also be that since my surgery, I've kind of lost my appetite. Hey, but it's ok, along with eating healthier, I'm losing the 10lbs I've gained since my accident. This is great news!!

This leads to the pictures I'm suppose to share with you of my garden. I took some, but since it was in the evening, they weren't as great. So I'll have to take them in the morning, for better lighting.

I have received many emails in the last few days as to when I'll be reopening.

Here's an update on my recovery first, I am doing well. Although I am still in pain, it's a bit more tolerable. I am only taking ibuprofen at night before I go to bed so I can at least sleep at night. I tried to go off of them for a few days and by day 3 I was in bad pain again. I couldn't sleep well and was a walking zombie. I can lift a 2lb weight without pain which is great. I'm still going 3 times a week and I'm glad. Even though I need to take time to let myself recover, I want to get better fast. I'm tired of being in pain. I feel emotionally and physically drained.

So now, back to when we will reopen...I've decided that I will reopen in August, part time.

The dates we will be open are as followed:

August 5th and 6th
August 19th and 20th

This way I can still get the rest I need for a full recovery, all orders can be processed and shipped with a quicker turn around time on all in stock items and you can get your yummy Soap Silly fix!

Also, new products are coming for our Fall 2008 collection that will include hair products!

I look forward to a quick recovery so I can get back to work, pain free!

As I mentioned before, I'll get those pics of my garden for you!
