Just another manic Monday ...
I realized that I posted over a page about the Steelers but nothing about my weekend. This happens every Sunday and then Monday morning I'm like, "Ooop." - Friday night the movie Friday Night Lights opened. I'd been looking forward to it for awhile and JJ knew I wanted to see it and as he put it, "Girlfriend who wants to see a football movie ... thumbs up ... that's good." We threw it open to a bunch of friends and then our friend Dawn invited, as she put it, half of Wake County. It turned out that they got stuck at a restaurant or something so they didn't make it to the same showing of the movie that we did. "We" was me, JJ, Steve and Sabrina, Adam, Scott and Dave Warner. Afterward we hit City Beverage, which was fun since we hadn't been there in awhile. - You would not believe what I did on Saturday. I got up, went running, and then JJ and I went to Big Bowl for lunch and Barnes and Noble. After lunch, we sat down on the couch to watch college football. And essentially other than bathroom breaks, we didn't move for the next NINE HOURS. I'm not kidding. We did nothing all Saturday afternoon. While we were doing ... well, nothing ... I had no problem with it. It wasn't until we reached 10 pm that I suddenly thought ... I have done NOTHING all day long. Oy. -Sunday was the best Sunday I've had in a long long long time. Worship was good ... guest speaker was a little too "in your face" for me ... then headed to the gym. Was planning on lifting and doing something non-impact for the knees which have been killing me, but forgot my shorts. Oops. Can't work out without shorts. In true form, I had my suit, cap and goggles so I swam for about 40 minutes. 400 SKP's warmup and then originally I was going to do a ladder alternating free and IM both up and down but that didn't work out so well. 100 free/200 IM/300 free/400 IM with the free being threshold-ish and the IMs being above that. I finished the 4 IM and thought ... you know, it's time to call it a day. Met up with Dave at Varsity Ale House for the awesome Steelers game (see previous entry), stopped by JJ's on the way home with the plan being if we win, I stop at JJ's and if we don't, I just keep on driving. Grocery store trip with JJ then home to shower and clean up. Talked to the Coopers for awhile ... that's always fun although I always feel a little bad that I just keep talking. I can coax conversation out of a doorknob if I have to and I have this tendency, since I love talking on the phone, to hold the other person captive for extended periods of time. I need to watch that. - Fall break is this week. Mmmmm ... breaaak. Ahhhhhhhhhh.
