I woke this morning to the alarm, as I do most Sundays. It's the only day I don't mind alarms anymore, I think. Am I weird, or what? (DO NOT answer that!)
Anyway, I got up, got a shower, got dressed and off to church I went. Ron stayed home with Corgan. We figured that even if he stayed here by himself, we'd still have to drive back out here to pick him up to go out to eat, so it didn't matter if Ron drove uptown later or not. It's one of those Catch-22 deals, so we'll deal with each occasion as they come up.
At church, I ended up being a fill-in lector, which I don't mind a bit, and I felt very pleased to be useful (for lack of a better word) for a change. I'm not feeling that way very often anymore, so to feel that way is a good thing!
We met at the parking lot uptown after church, and we took his truck down the road. We thought perhaps we could get gasoline for his week cheaper in Amelia, but it didn't turn out that way. Oh, well, we tried. We went to Walgreen's to try to return the Fish Oil pills I got the other day - they were the wrong brand - but either we didn't get those at Walgreen's or they don't carry them anymore. We ended up leaving with the same ones we went in with. We also got stuff for our 'basket' for the Quarter Auction coming up on April 10th! It was a productive trip!
Then we went down to Kroger to get Ron's tonic water (I just love how he tells me he's running low on stuff...) "while we're in Amelia." Yep, he told me that he needed the tonic water as we were pulling into Walgreen's. At least we were able to get it today and he didn't run out before I came back down the road!
Then, finally, we went back to Campbell's Barn and enjoyed our lunch. We hadn't been there for a while, and it was delicious! He, of course, got his 4-piece chicken dinner and I got the bacon cheeseburger that I like. Corgan chose buffalo wings over the peanut butter sandwich he usually gets - I was surprised - and he quite enjoyed those, but he talked, talked, talked the whole meal.
When we got home, I got out the plastic Easter eggs and we decorated the yard/trees for Easter. I figured - why not?, it's nice out - and of course, I ended up doing most of the work. Corgan decided rather quickly that "that's enough eggs" and started building himself a bike ramp. Ron, of course, was way too busy in the garage to help at all. Men! I took pictures of our pretty yard, and then we decided to take a walk down Hoover Road and pick up cans while we did so.
The guys walked all the way to the end of the road (a mile from our driveway), but I stopped and turned around just past the half-mile mark, and went back to wait for them back at the curves. There's a big tree stump there that I could sit on, but it felt like forever waiting for them because I didn't have a book or anything with me. Ugh! I was hoping that I could walk farther than that, but my hip didn't allow me to.
We got back home, and Josh and Chelle showed up not long after that to pick Corgan up, so our ears were finally going to get a little break. Boy, he talked this weekend, let me tell you. All day!
We had been playing mini-golf on the Wii, also, and I played some this afternoon after he left so I can do better next weekend. I only beat him once this weekend (and we immediately had to switch games, don't you know? LOL) and I want to be able to keep that trend up! Am I a mean granny, or what (DO NOT answer that!)
Once Ron came in from the garage, we just watched TV all evening. I'm not sure what he had for supper, or when.
Putting my food and exercise into MFP, I was over 100 calories short for the day. I wish I could better judge how many calories I burn off when I walk, but I just have to guess. For my mile and a half today, I guessed 155. Guess, guess, guess. It's all a guess - the exercising part, I mean.
