It's going to be a rough 24 hours!

Although it is Friday, this one is having a bit of anxiety over all of the things on my plate over the next 24 hours!

 

Somehow, and I don't know how this happened, I was talked in to participating in a "dusk to dawn" whiffle ball tournament!   A co-worker (and one of the townspeople where this event is being held) sweet talked me in to coming down to play on one of the "teams" from our facility.  I agreed reluctantly by saying, "OK, but I have to be home by 12pm - I have a yoga event to prepare for."   He seemed happy with that!  He informed me that he wasn't out to win - but to drink beer- and we could very well be done by 10pm! LOL

 

He and his wife are having a little cookout before hand in appreciation to the people who helped them move furniture during the "flood."   I won't be able to attend that as I have a training session with Levi tonight and I know he's gonna put me through my paces.   Wednesday night he had me doing some different things that really targeted my core; getting out of bed on Thursday was a challenge, let me tell you!  But that is alright, I'm challenging myself and I can see major league results in endurance and strength. 

 

I already informed my brother that I may - or may not - camp out on his deck tonight (in a lawn chair) if I get 1) too tired to drive home OR 2) a little "happy" with the bubbly (not that I plan on getting inebriated, mind you....but one needs alternative plans just in case.).  Hubs just laughed at me and said "do what you got to do." He's so use to me coming up with these hair brain things that it doesn't phase him anymore - or at least if it does, he isn't saying anything. ~L~

 

Tomorrow is another huge day.  My free community yoga event is on deck and I need to have all of my ducks in a row for that one.  I will be running around today during lunch to pick items up in preparation for the event (as I won't have time to do it after work).   I do not know what to expect tomorrow.  It could be 1 person or 50 (which is optimistic - but hey! I'm a glass 1/2 full type of gal).  :-)

 

So, the whirlwind begins and my crazy life -as I know it -continues!

 

I'm hoping I can unwind on Sunday afternoon and catch up with friends and relax.  

 

 

 

I LOVE food!!!

 

Yes, I love food, especially when I don't have to cook it.  

 

The facility is hosting an employee appreciation day today and we were treated to cheeseburgers, chips, and brownies.  Although I did the whole cheeseburger thing, my true love was the brownies and chips.   I a weakness for sweet, salty and crunchy - and that weakness was tested today!  Man were they good!! 

 

Good thing I'm going to train with Levi tonight!! 

 

Have a good day everyone!!

 

 

Monday......

 

Well, my day was shot to hell by 8:30 this morning.  On top of that, I spilled coffee on my white slacks. 

 

(Definitely going in to my yoga breath today).

Another cheater post - this was posted on my yoga blog moments ago.  ~S~

The Celebrations have started - yours truly has a birthday today!     I've crept a little closer to 50 than I care to admit.  Though the calendar says differently, I feel as if I'm in my 20's!  Young at heart!  ~S~

 

My celebrations actually started last night, with a beautiful spirit presenting me with a darling water canister and magnet designed by Curly Girl Designs.  She and her daughter picked them out for me!  Very thoughtful and VERY much appreciated.    After a wonderful evening of yoga with my classes, I went home to find that hubs had started dinner.  Now THAT was a surprise, and a welcome one at that. ~S~

 

Today however, is the actual day of my birth.  Though I am unsure of the exact time, my sister says it was "in the morning". 

 

So, today at 09:09 am - I jumped up out of my chair, ran around like a crazy woman and proudly proclaimed - "It's my birthday at 09:09 on 09/09/09!"  (Much to the delight to my co-workers)!  I sure hope there wasn't a camera around!  I was on the phone at the time with a close friend and co-worker who called to remind me it was 09:09am!  She had actually started my day by calling to sing to me at 7:00am!  How thoughtful is that?! 

 

I've heard from 3 of my 5 siblings today, gorged myself on a delicious cherry coffee cake baked by thoughtful co-workers, and received numerous birthday greetings from staff throughout the facility, and a dinner date invitation from my hubster.

 

Life, on this birthday, is good....
