Getting ready for a busy weekend

Thursday, November 7, 2013

Today was a kind of a busy bustling day, trying to get things done, so I could be free to be up at church to help out at the big Craft Show that we put on every year at this time.  Usually I am working and cannot help out, but this year, I am free and can help and want to help, and only have to get my lazy butt out of bed and do so.  But, apart of sitting and playing on the pute, I really do so much little piddling running-around crap each and every day, I must get that all out of the way for the next couple of days, not that Saturday will be a problem.  I'm sure the fellers won't miss me!  HA.

I did get up today and met Lois to walk the walk path.  It was a chilly walk, and we did manage to shave a minute off of our time - which is very good for me! - even considering that she got two phone calls, and I had to fix my coat and stop and get a drink a couple of times.  So, I'd say we did pretty darn good.  Instead of our usual 33 minutes, we made it in 32.  Maybe it's time to move my thingy on myfitnesspal from 'slow pace' to 'medium pace' - nah, I'll wait til Spring to do that.  I still think I move kinda slow.

After that, I came back home and played on the pute until time for lunch, which I had early for me (at 12:30) but damn, I was HUNGRY for a change.  I had my chicken salad and a serving of pretzels.  More playing on the pute until time to go back uptown and drop the rest of the Oreo Balls off up at church for the bake sale and get a few other errands done.  Just before I left, too, Ron called me.  He was on his way home and it was only THREE.  Wow.  Yep, it's getting to be cold weather.  They will be moving his starting time soon, back to 6.  Phooey.  But, it happens every year.  We'll live.  So, he met me up at IGA after we both did what we needed to around town, and we went in bought the makings for beef stew for supper.  For some reson, that just sounded right for supper tonight.  All the food I've bought the last two weeks, and we want something else.  How weird are we?  Don't answer that!!  While in IGA, we discovered that they have added some stuff to their 5-for-$20 section, too.  They had regular thin-sliced bacon, thick-sliced bacon, smoked and maple flavored bacon, too, smoked sausage (& cheddar), kielbasa, lil smokies (& cheddar), regular and maple breakfast sausages - both links and patties, oh, all kinds of stuff!  They usually only have hamburger, spencer steaks, thin-assed pork chops, and some gnarly looking chicken.  Not much of a selection at all.  We were happy, and, of course, spent more than we expected to when we went in.  It'll be okay, though, we just won't go out over the weekend.

We got home, and I got the stew on (NO carrots, yay!) so we could eat right around 7.  After he watched his weather during the 6:00 news, Ron did his Wii, and I got suckered into doing a Simple Test.  Yep, I hate weighing myself in the evening.  NOT a good idea at all.

I gave myself a generous serving of stew with two pieces of buttered bread.  Man, was it good.  I had an apple for my dessert right after supper.  Later on, during football, I had a banana.
I was still over 300 calories short on myfitnesspal!! Yay, me!!  I can certainly live with that!

Today is getting five stars for everything!
