It's Saturday and I Don't Have to Mow!

Which is why I have time to blog.

Big night out with Terri Tuesday.  We saw "Aluminum" at the PAC.  Although at times I felt like I had gone back 20 years and was watching my kids play with assorted dryer hoses, slinkies and tin foil, I did appreciate the energy of the young dancers.  But really, just not my cuppa tea.  The Belgian Waffle at IHOP afterwards gets two thumbs up, though.

Last evening was spent with a group of 30-somethings at my daughter-in-law's Spray Tan Party.  I immediately accepted the invite early in the week, but as time progressed, so did my anxiety level.  I had visions of George Hamilton or Robin Williams in "Old Dogs."  Which is very appropriate because I was the oldest dog at the party.  I had almost backed out when my "Aluminum" buddy said -- let's go for it.  I think there were four of us there that were 50 & over.  That helped.  And the Spray Tan professional is indeed professional.  She has recently moved to OK from California, where she sprayed Hollywood stars and has been featured in magazines.  So.  Long story, short.  I am NOT orange.  And I think she gave me abs!  Yes! High five!  And I must say, it was very energizing being around these young ladies.  They are hilarious!  LOVE THEM!

I went to yoga early this morning to get in 30 minutes of cardio on the track. There was an elderly woman there, instructing her tween and teen grandchildren on the proper use of the weight machines.  Classic.

During my 30 minute walk, I multi-tasked by reviewing my latest memorization project in my head.  The Sermon on the Mount.  Proud to say I have successfully memorized through the end of Matthew 5.  Right up to "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."  One of the benefits of memorizing is that it makes you have to slow down and meditate on the scripture.  I need something to slow down my thoughts.  This seems to be working.

Yoga was tough today.  I've missed the last 3 weeks, and I think she was punishing me.  She has it in for me anyway, 'cause she knows I mainly come for Janet's sake.  I've almost gotten kicked out a couple of times for talking or giggling.  Or maybe I'm paranoid.  Or maybe I'm trying to get kicked out.

It's already 88 degrees and it's only noon.  I do NOT like to turn on my A/C until May.  I've griped all winter about being cold, so I will embrace the warmth.  I will embrace the warmth.  I will embrace the warmth.

I've been on a junk food kick lately and am determined to start eating healthier. Just got home from Walmart, where I bought mostly fresh vegetables, fruit, and other healthy crap.  Had few enough items that I could check out in the Express Lane.  Still cost me 72 bucks.   Holy cow!  It's expensive to eat healthy!   A cold Starbucks' frappuchino isn't cheating, is it? I didn't think so.
