Another fabulous weekend!
Oh my goodness! There was so much going on this weekend that I didn't know which way to turn!
Friday night started out with a surprise birthday party for our friend Karen. Surprise it was! Her birthday isn't until Wednesday! She turns 50 this year. I keep telling her that 50 is the new 30 and to not stress out over it. Easier said than done (my time is coming in a few years!).
I wanted to hit the fair also on Friday and listen to a band (Nightrider) that was popular around these parts in the late 70's and early 80's. No such luck. Hubster and I stayed at the birthday until 10pm then came home and watched a movie (Planet of the Apes - new version with Mark Wahlberg). I tell you what.... I loved the first movie with Charlton Heston, but this one was very good too. Couldn't believe I was watching a movie about apes, but oh well....~L~
Saturday was a huge day for me. My first Saturday yoga class started up again on at 8:30 - 9:30am. It was awesome to move and flow with the breath and spend the morning with a couple of great ladies. We didn't waste any time getting out of there though. The parade started at 9:30 and I needed to pick up mother-in-law and find a good spot to watch the festivities. As luck would have it, we drove down a side street there just happened to be a parking spot with our name out. Not only that, it was right along the parade route! Yes! We jumped out, staked out our spot in front of a vehicle and sat on the grass so that we could watch it pass by on the street. That was short lived though, as the pesky little nats were flying around us and making it a little uncomfortable. As we were getting up and standing to watch the parade, the gentleman - whose care we were standing in front of - came out and asked us if we wanted to use the lawn chairs he had in the back of his vehicle. Hello!! What a nice man. We sat in style and watched the floats, cars, machinery, horses, and politicians (no, they are not one in the same!) pass in front of us. It was a little toasty, but that was even taken care of. Parade walkers from a local church were handing out bottles of water. Sweet!.
Ella and I hotfooted it up to Perkins afterwards to had lunch then I dropped her off and headed to the gym. I was one of a few people in the gym so that was nice...no fighting for the equipment. That is always a bonus. Not only that, but one of the men there was someone that I've only met a few times. He had come to my yoga class and I'd also seen him at the gym a time before. But yesterday we got to talking a little more in depth and it was truly enjoyable! Laughing and talking with him sure made the time on the elliptical go a heck of a lot faster. So Brad, if you see this post....a huge thank you for making the time go a bit faster, plus it was great getting to know you a little better in the process! PS: There was a reason our paths crossed again yesterday. :-)
Rodeo anyone? Yes, hubster and I went to the rodeo again this year. I don't know what it is about rodeos...sitting out in the element and watching young men and women do their thing. Maybe it's the beautiful horses, the expertise of the riders, the fresh air, dust.....who knows. One thing is for sure, I love it!! The only thing they didn't have was foot long hot dogs! ~L~ Hey! It is NOT the fair unless you have a foot long hot dog and a beer to wash it down! Which is precisely what we did........headed to the fair and stopped at the first hot dog we saw!..Hmmmmmm, was it good! Something about fair food that gets me every year. (Maybe its the fact that I don't have to cook it...OR...it comes with beer!) Either way, a win-win situation! ~LOL~
Today was another good day. Got up, sat on the deck and drank some coffee, headed in to do yoga with a student (with whom I shared amazing energy with today!), then off to the gym for a killer session on the elliptical.
Weekends are great ...just because I can relax.....but when I get weekends like last week and this week....well, weekends are just Fantabulous!!! (PS: too bad they are so short!).
