The Good Wife

I just returned from the monthly couples game night. This time we played Party Bridge. It was fun. Nothing "bridgey" about it, actually. It had a new twist with each hand played. There was wine and food. The evening was very nice. Upon returning home and checking my email, I came across this: www.ivman.com/fp-goodwife.html
Please, check it out and enjoy the heavy laughter that was very recently mine.

Ring, Ring

It is 5:30am this Saturday morning and I'm wide awake, typing on the computer. The two children that wake up early stayed last night with Grandma, so everyone in this house will sleep until at least 8:30am. Why am I awake, you might ask? This would only be because of the man who cannot seem to remember that the phone number that he really wants IS NOT MINE! I'm wondering if there is any way to block telephone numbers. There are two men who call here, looking for a woman with my name who is not me, very frequently. Sometimes they leave messages, sometimes they call in the middle of the night, and today they called at 5:15am.

So, my choices now would be to begin my day, watch TV, or go back to bed. TV usually puts me to sleep, so I could try that. What I should do is climb the laundry mountain and see if I can make it to the top. I'm guessing if I started now, I could have it conquered by the time anyone else wakes up.

I'm going to read today's Gospel, do a little meditation on it, and then decide if I will sleep again or begin my laundry.

Happy weekend!

Oops, I Did It Again

Hi!

Well, I've had a hurried and busy few days. I've recovered from my dancing aches. I've been practicing here at home some. My husband, the kids, and I did a little ball room dancing during breakfast yesterday. Fun!

I've decided not to go to the Sylvia Brown convention. A dear friend pointed out to me that this might be putting my soul at risk. I was blind to that fact, I guess. I thought since I'd not be partaking and that since I didn't believe in all that jazz that I'd be okay. But, I've changed my mind. It might get too hookey and I wouldn't want to be in the presence of such. BUT, I'm still going on the train and I'll just shop instead. Sounds good, no? This is really what friendship is all about. Keeping each other in check and looking out for one another. I love this friend dearly and have taken her advice on many occasion. Thanks, Betty! You're a gem!

I'm off to do supper and laundry.

Peace!

Two Left Feet

My husband and I took our first ballroom dancing class last night. I was so looking forward to doing this, but now I don't know if I want to go back. My legs, hips, glutes, and back hurt so bad today! I know it won't always be like this, but I sure am feeling it today. My hip joints took the blunt of it, I think. They were hurting before I even left the class. I was so happy this morning when myhusband woke up and looked like an old man crawling out of bed. Why was I happy? Because he gloated last night about how he was in so much better shape than I. Good morning, Sweetie, is that egg on your face?

Several other people I know were at the class. The instructors were fantastic. If one day I can dance half as good as they, then I'll be satisfied.

I'm skipping the weight lifting today, for obvious reasons. I've changed my exercise progress box a little. I've added "dancing" to my list of physical activity. My heart rate was up, I was sweating, and I KNOW my muscles were worked, so this has to be beneficial to my attempt at losing weight.

I'm off to find Ben. You know him, Mr. Gay?
