Manic Monday

Hey all,

I hope you had a great weekend because I sure did! On Friday night I went to our district football game to cheer on our Longhorns. Although the game didn't turn out as planned, I had a great time with some of my coworkers. Saturday I took Tulsa to the boarder and headed up to Des Moines for my college roommate's wedding. She look absolutely gorgeous and I am very happy for her and her new hubby and her new daughter! Saturday night I met up with one of my friend who took me this hole in the wall bar. It was awesome. They juiced their oranges and grapefruits for their drinks! I must go back!! We then went to another establishment. We were home and on the couch watching V for Vendetta by midnight. I was asleep within the first 5 minutes of the movie. I. AM. OLD. PERIOD! (My friend would often reference how "Back in the day this gal could do....." point was that I was awesome. Now I am terribly boring.) Sunday morning I was up and off fairly early. I so miss Des Moines and all the shopping it offers....but it is probably a good thing because that is an expensive habit that I have. I need to work on it. Sunday I went to my hometown and helped take care of my mom. The night of my Sparkle's homecoming, my mom tripped and fell and broke her foot in two places. She has since been in a boot. My dad, has a torn rotator cuff and is hardly able to function but he is painfully waiting until harvest is over in order to get his surgery. Did I mention my mom also has 10, YES, 10, kidney stones that have to be blasted and/or surgically removed?  So, if you can imagine I will be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks taking care of them. I don't mind doing it, I just didn't plan on it happening for another 15 years or so. Today, I got up and walked a mile this morning with Tulsa, I had a later start time for work today since it was an in-service. It was nice and my goal is to walk the mile on Mondays, Wednesdasys, and Fridays. I am going back to Crossfit this evening and am looking forward to being sore the rest of the week. We shall see how this goes! Wish me luck!
