Weekend Fun
It’s only 7:14pm on Sunday night but I feel like I’ve been up forever! My partner in crime has been out of town since mid-week so it was up to me to find my own fun.
I ran a 5K on Saturday and posted my fastest time to date, so that was fun! I was concerned about my MP3 player running out of power so I made sure it was fully charged prior to Saturday. I needn’t have worried because aside from the song playing right at the start, I couldn’t even guess at what songs were playing during the race; I was completely oblivious to the music throughout the race. I have never been so in the zone during an event but I can’t complain with the results.
Saturday afternoon was spent moving furniture from a couple places and into my condo. For the first time in 11 years I can actually eat a meal at a dining table in my place; I feel so grown-up! Of course, the table will also double as a computer table so maybe I can get some decent writing going on. So that will be fun, too!
Sunday broke with overcast skies and a wonderful breeze blowing thanks to Hurricane Sandy. My friends and family up in the north eastern states are preparing for a possible shellacking but here in Florida we are enjoying some absolutely beautiful weather! The sun broke through mid-afternoon while I was still moving furniture and cleaning but I’m enjoying the new look which is always fun!
My own Hurricane Sandy will blow back into town tomorrow and that will definitely be fun!
I hope you all had a fun weekend as well and Happy Halloween!
You Can’t Fool Mother Nature or Your Mother
“Hi Ma, what are you doing tomorrow afternoon? Would you like to go to lunch?”
Such an innocent question one would think and yet, perhaps an ulterior motive was at hand. Being the smart person that I am, I listened to She and called my mom again to let her know I would be bringing someone along with me when I picked her up.
And wouldn’t you know, my mother already knew! Apparently the tone of my voice gave away my “secret”. Really? Asking my mom to lunch had a tone to it? I wonder what else my mom knew when I thought I was being so sneaky?
Don’t answer that, Mom!
