The Saturday Biz

Well, it's a slow day at home, which is very nice. Here's the recap:

6:15 - got up and got ready to meet Trisha for our long run of the week. Discovered I was up 15 minutes earlier than I needed to be, so chatted with Barb (who was about to start writing sermons for later this month).

7:00 - met Trisha at Sunrise Bagel and drove to our route. Put in a challenging 13 miles.

10:00ish - went back to Sunrise Bagel and ate and continued chatting with Trisha.

11:00ish - got home and listened to part of Barb's sermon. Clipped toe and fingernails. Got calendar ready for Europe trip conversation with my dad.

12:00ish - called dad and talked through the trip schedule. I will probably post a short version before I leave (Wednesday morning, SO excited!!)

12:30 - ate again, oatmeal. Watched a little tv with Mark (who came over while I was on the phone with dad) and then headed out with Mark to run a couple errands.

2:00 - home again and laid town for a nap.

3:30 - didn't sleep for most of that time, but it was still nice. Relieved pressure of a blister underneath my toenail (SO fun!!). Went downstairs and cleaned the kitchen while Mark put food in the crockpot for a yummy chicken dinner.

3:45 - ate again, left-over slice of pizza.

4:15 - was going to get in the shower, but got side-tracked loading cds on my laptop, throwing out a blog, and about to go help Barb clean her bathroom (she's not feeling too well). Then I'll, hopefully get in the shower. I hate showering in the middle of the day. Takes me forever to actually get there. Mark is wonderful and is vacuuming the house since Barb isn't feeling too well. And before you go thinking I'm really thoughtful for helping Barb with her bathroom, I've never offered to do that before and didn't until after Mark offered to vacuum. Um... I'm not sure I ever would have thought of it on my own. Mark makes me a better woman!

After Wednesday's icky day, I had a pretty good rest of the week. My emotions seem to come in waves so that wave had calmed by Thursday morning.

I heard a create acronym for 'fear' the other day.

False
Expectations
Appearing
Real

I didn't hear it in the context of a Christian setting, but thought it fit anyway. I've been thinking about it ever since.

Oh, last night Mark and I went to see Westview's performance of Crazy For You. Incredible!! It was really good!

Okay, off to do the bathroom and then shower, pack, etc. It's fun to be starting to put the final plans on getting ready for the trip!

yeah- i've subscribed to your real blog - I can keep up with you now! I'm so pumped about your trip to Europe...the only thing better is if I were going with you! We'll definitely have to do a girl trip someday.

You and your crazy enjoyment of blister popping. Ugh. ;)
