Sister Day declared a success!

Monday, November 11, 2013

First of all, let me wish all, especially my family members, veterans (any and all who have served our country) a Happy Veteran's Day.  I hope you got to go somewhere and get the honors you deserve.  Not that you will EVER get all the honors you deserve, but at least some small token.  We, me and Ron, truly appreciate your and your family's sacrifice (during active service, and whatever happened afterward).  To those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, I bow my head to you.

I got up this morning at 7:30.  Not my most favorite thing to do, but as it was gonna be Sister Day, I needed to be ready!  I was in the bathroom when Jean came in at 7:40 (five minutes before I expected her!) and we started our part of the day.  We had a good time, sitting here in the living room just talking away...I sent Ruth a text at 5 after 9 and she didn't answer, so I knew she was on the road already.  She usually doesn't stop until she has a real chance to stop to check her phone.  Sure enough, a few minutes later, she texted that she was stopping for gasoline.  She did text when she got to Bethel, as was the plan, so Jean and I left here and met her at Frisch's.  They still had the breakfast bar up (for about 45 more minutes), and I asked if we buy the bar now, can we go ahead and get salad bar after it changes?  She checked for us and came back and told us, NO, when it changes, breakfast is over and that is that.  Bull hockey!  I didn't want to only eat for less than 45 minutes, then sit there for 2 more hours, because we were planning on being there until around 1.  (Ruth wanted to leave then to go visit another friend)  Ruth and Jean each decided to get breakfast bar anyway, but I decided to wait til it changed over, because I usually just don't eat that early.  When I got my food, I had a veggie soup, a salad (pretty big - went up twice), and a Big Boy.  We gave each other great hugs when we left!!!  It was a wonderful time!!!!

Jean and I came back here, and sat and talked some more, then she left at 2, just as planned (love it when things happen that way!) and I got on that darn exercise bike, even turning up the tension a bit, and tried to ride it for 20 minutes.  I hit 3 miles at 17 minutes and stopped.  My legs were starting to hurt.  Not my hips, just my legs - didn't want to push it.  Then, I finally got on the pute.  Took me a while to scroll through my newsfeed and catch up on all that, then, finally, get to my games.  I felt like it had been forever - it's gonna be like withdrawal when I go to Gatlinburg in 10 days for 5 days!!  LOL

When Ron got home, he decided to make our little Spam casserole for supper (no corn), and that was that.  It was nice and warm, and very tasty!  And not having to make it made it taste better, too!

When I put my food into myfitnesspal, I was over on calories - by 36.  THIRTY-SIX.  My, my.  I suppose I can live with that!  I should have ridden that darn bike for three more minutes, dammit.  Oh, well.  Or, maybe, I should have exercised again sometime in the evening.  Blah.  Evil E word.

Food is getting five stars for the day - it was great, and I chose it all!  Exercise is getting four, just because I could have done a bit more and didn't.  I am quite, quite happy with this day.
