I woke this morning to the alarm going off at 8:30. EIGHT THIRTY. Ugh! But, I got my lazy ass up, took a shower and shaved my legs, lotioned, dressed, and came on out here into the living room. I made a couple of phone calls to finish paying our September bills, then I hit the road for the day. I went up to IGA to buy our donation for the funeral luncheon tomorrow, then on up to church to help set up said luncheon. I got to the church right at 10, and I called Bert because I had forgotten to last night. Teresa had said that she thought she'd be up to going out to lunch today, and I was to see if the last of our trio could complete the triangle. But I forgot. So, I called this morning, and - BOO - Bert already had things on her plate for today. Well, phooey. Isn't that the way it goes? I let Tee know, and she said that she was okay with it just being us two, so I was still going to pick her up and lunch was ON! WhooHoo!
I worked there at church, and we got done between 11 and 11:30, and I took off down the road. I was so glad Teresa felt like getting out and about! I picked her up, and we went to Longhorn for lunch - she said it had been years since she'd been there! - and I had my almost perfect salad and she had a giant cheeseburger and fries. We had a great time, sitting there eating and talking for a couple of hours! We left a little after 2, so I had time to take her home, get myself changed into my PT clothes, and then get back over to PT before 3.
PT was soooooooo much fun today. In addition to the 6 exercises I started doing last week, she added 4 new ones, including one using a resistance band around my knees. Yep. Great fun. <you are noting the sarcasm, right?> My back, luckily, didn't hurt after these, so I suppose that is a good thing.
I left PT and headed for home, stopping at Walgreens for prescriptions (I just drove thru) and at WalMart for gasoline ($3.08!!!!) and by the time I got there, it had started pouring down the rain, and I decided to just get $15.00 instead of my usual $20.00. Ai yi yi - was that rain cold, and it was coming in sideways! I got home and pulled in right before Josh pulled in from the other way, so I had very good timing, I think. They were dropping Corgan off for the night before heading out for the evening themselves.
Corgan and I were here in the house, he playing Wii and I was on the pute, when Ron texted that he was on 774. We got ready quickly and started out walking and bike riding to meet him. We met him, of course, not too far down Hoover Road, and Corgan asked if he ride his bike back to the house instead of getting in the truck, and we let him, after reminding him that he knew the rules about riding his bike on the highway. We watched him the whole way, too, and he did very well - we were glad.
Since it was after 6, as soon as we got back, we started talking about supper, and we decided to have breakfast for supper. I got it started as Ron took his shower, then Ron finished it up. Bacon, sausage, potato pattie, eggs. YUM.
I LOVE breakfast for supper! And, just before supper was done, I walked out into the kitchen and I noticed the sun was shining - such a brilliant color - and I just knew that there was gonna be a rainbow and I looked out of the kitchen window, and there was a huge, beautiful rainbow out there. I opened the back door to look, and not only was it a rainbow, it was a WHOLE rainbow - we could see both ends, and it was so brilliant, you could see every single band of color just as though you were holding it in your hand. As I started taking pictures of it, it became a DOUBLE rainbow - and that was totally awesome. It was also so huge of a rainbow that I couldn't take a picture of the whole thing in one picture. No way - not even 3/4s of it, it was that big. The neighbors two houses down were outside taking pictures of it, too!
When I got back on the pute, there were a few other people who had pictures of the rainbow they had seen tonight, too! Isn't that simply great? I told Corgan that he was very blessed to be gifted by such on his birthday, and we had quite the discussion about that.
I had put my lunch in MFP, but I never did go back to put supper in, and I don't think I will - I am gonna be bad. I will also be bad tomorrow - it's my and Corgan's birthday 'party' day, and I will eat bad all day long. I probably won't even get on MFP. Man. I'll ruin my streak (x days signing in) and have to start over...bummer.
Ron got me Jamberry Nail Wraps for my birthday, and I put them on tonight, too, so I can enjoy them tomorrow while we are out. It took a lot longer than I expected, but I have no fingernails to speak of, and it's the first time I've ever 'used' these, so that probably didn't help matters. They have a peacock pattern, and they are very pretty! I like them.
I am tired, and my back is starting to hurt. I am ready to go to bed (it's only 11), even though I'm sure I'll read for a while. Today was a pretty wonderful day, with so many neat things happening, but I am so looking forward to tomorrow!
Big plans tomorrow, like I said - I'll tell you all about it tomorrow night. It's gonna be a fun day!
