Another run-around Saturday

Saturday, November 2, 2013

Today was a back-to-normal run-around Saturday for us.  We got up (Corgan first, then Ron, then me) and got on the road by quarter til ten.  We stopped to get the fellers some coffee and me a tea (and they forgot my cup of ice...boo), then on down the road we went.  First stop was Walgreens (drive-thru) for an Rx, then Michael's over in Eastgate.  I found what I was looking for over there, thank goodness - they were my last chance (as far as I was concerned, anyway) for this item.  Then over to his cousin's to pick up some apples she was giving us (yum - apple pie!) and back over to Amelia we went.  I stopped at the Pill Box and picked up a Christmas gift on the way to Bob Evans, which was our next stop.
We were to meet some friends for lunch at 11:30 (See?  We got a lot done in a short amount of time!)  It was a very nice leisurely lunch, and a great time.  I had the Sunshine Skillet and 2 slices of banana nut bread, although I gave half of one slice to Corgan.  Corgan, believe it or not, only had a bowl of chicken and noodle soup.  I was surprised!  Ron had the pot roast sandwich & fries.
After lunch, we went to a Craft Show there in Amelia at a church (the Methodist church - the one with the beautiful blue stained glass windows) and walked around in there.  I found another Christmas gift, and Ron bought me one, too!  WhooHoo - a successful day!  Then we went back to WalMart and I picked up the rest of the stuff I need to have everything to make all items for the things I am making for the bake sale at OUR Craft Show next weekend.  I think I have shopped enough the last three days for three months!  No joke!

Back home we go, stopping at IGA long enough for Ron to run in and get a bag of ice (see?  it never stops...) and then, finally, we are done.  The mail is waiting for us on the front porch - I got what I ordered for Gatlinburg!  Yay!  A little earlier than I expected, but, hey - I got it!  Unloading the truck and carrying it all in, then the fellers go outside and I stay in and put stuff away, then bake cookies for after church tonight (a reception for the Memorial Mass).  Hey, we have a spare 2 1/2 hours before we have to leave home again!  Wow!  Chelle and Jean come up to pick Corgan up and hang for a bit before they all leave.  They go, then we get everything all together, change our clothes, and off we go again.

We go to church, then enjoy the socializing afterward.  We come back home and I make a pack of hot dogs for our supper.  That's four hot dogs apiece for us.  I'm not sure what Ron added to his, but I had walnuts, five bread & butter pickle slices, and a turnip with mine.  And that was supper.  He found Men In Black on the TV, and that's what we watched.  And now it's started again - because, surprise, he is asleep.  LOL

Today will get five stars for food - I was under on my calories by about 200.  I can't report my weigh-in, because I forgot to do it - uh-oh.  I will do it first thing in the morning, I promise!  Then off to a bridal shower for me!  Yes, on a football Sunday.  I am sad.  But, I won't miss my Bengals, and that's a good thing!
Exercise will get three stars.  With all the running we did - in and out of stores, through parking lots (I park out in the boonies) and stores, etc., I considered that I walked (at least) a mile, and am claiming that.

I probably won't do my myfitnesspal OR write a blog tomorrow - with football and the bridal shower, I think I am going to declare a "free day" because I am pretty darn sure I am gonna eat way too much bad/wrong stuff, and no way in hell am I gonna be able to remember it all, either!  I will TRY to be as good as I can, but - c'mon, man!
