No News Is Good News...



Labor Day weekend, we caught up on some homework and some much needed sleep. The highlight of our weekend was eating at Cafe' Rio...TWICE. It was quite relaxing and uneventful. I liked it that way.

I've been spotting crowds of sunflowers along the road lately.  I pulled over the other night and picked a few to fill my new vase. Nothing's better than free flowers!

We're quite excited to catch up on our television series that are released on DVD this month. Specifically House, 30 Rock, Gossip Girl, & Entourage. We don't have a single functioning channel in this house, but you better believe we get really into "our" shows.

So far, school has been easier than we both anticipated. {KNOCK ON WOOD} Let's hope it stays that way!

My back has been KILLING me lately. No amount of icy hot, heating packs, or back rubs help.  I'm about to fall to the ground and never get back up. Dramatic, I know. I'll happily take any advice given at this point.


And that's the latest from the Dutson fam.

I am sure your back hurts because of the south side hell you have to go through. I could never do it! I have nightmares just thinking about it. I hope it feels better.

is it your shoes hon? Are you getting enough arch support? Or is it heel support? I'm not sure which but look into that! :)

Yes yes, I've taken my work shoes into consideration. I just spent over $100 dollars on some nasty looking orthopedic shoes for work. I'm still breaking them in...we'll see if they help!

Have you considered accupuncture for your back? I had really bad back pain as well and that helped me so much.

Best wishes,

Janie

Thanks for the advice to get Danskos. I've been wearing Crocks and that may have been my problem! I just bought some Danskos a week ago, still breaking them in...keeping my fingers crossed!
