Good Morning, FS Warriors,
I can't upload pics from work, so I'm uploading my Nike+ capture from home before I leave for work, and I'll update my journal later.
Well, I finally got around to updating my journal for the day. It's not that I've been so busy; I'm embarassed to say that today is one of my potluck dinners to promote employee engagement. I brought in DW's Mexican Fruitcake. No, it's not like any fruitcake you've ever seen; it's got some kind of beaten cream cheese, sugar and pineapple frosting, and some kind of moist spice-like cake, only different. Anyway, everybody loves it. For having a bunch of men and just a couple ladies working for me, it's amazing the spread they put on. I just have to call this day a bust. One of the guys smoked the pulled pork for 9 hours and it just melts in your mouth. And then there's the usual fare of potato salad, different versions of baked beans, different cakes, cole slaw, and a macaroni and corn casserole (who does that?). It was all so good. I'm sorry to do this to you.
This was my first run in Stage 9 this morning. Run 14 minutes/walk 1 minutes (X2). Yay! I made it. The one minute break gives me time to take a drink and wipe the sweat off my brow. It's about what it would be like running a 5K with a water stop at the half-way point. I'm getting there. It's tough. I know I would be much faster if I was 50 pounds lighter, and the speed I'm running would be a piece of cake, but
[i]coulda[/i], [i]
woulda[/i], [i]
shoulda [/i]doesn't get the job done. It is what it is, and I can't wait until everything is perfect to do this. If everything was perfect, I
[i]wouldn't have to[/i] do this. The countdown started today; in 8 more days, I'll be running 30 minutes continuous.
The nursing home gig went great last night. A good time was had by all. These people were more responsive; not quite as incapacitated as the groupo on Sunday, bless their hearts. We had quite a bit of fun, and the group threw a few surprises here and there, having me perform songs that I had not rehearsed. Actually had to start over on one, after singing off key for two verses. I just started over and nobody seemed to mind. They actually asked us back. Gives them more time to prepare for throwing the bottles and tomatoes next time. Haha! Gave my first autograph, LOL! This lady wanted the whole group to sign this Blessings card that the church handed out.
Wedding rehearsel is tonight, though I don't know what they need me for. I'm sure it's just to help move tables or something. I will really be glad when this is over. The bride isn't stressed at all. It's DW that is worried about every little detail. I'm too laid back; I don't know why I married that woman anyway! LOL!
Well, back to work. Hope everyone is having a great day! Toodles!
