Saturday was crazy in that we had to get our prescriptions straightened out, do bulletins (which we hadn’t had a chance to do all week), mow the lawn, and get other things done. I mowed both lawns (and have continued to be stuffed up thanks to my lovely grass pollen allergy) and tried to do household things to help out Jon.<\/p>\n
Sunday morning, we had Rally Day at the second church and it was fun. I loved seeing the adults doing the hand motions to “This Little Light of Mine” — it was so cool!!!!! (I also felt less self-conscious.) There was a lasagna dinner afterwards and I ate waaaaaay too much, resulting in me having to take a “lasagna nap” (as one of our members put it) that afternoon. After I’d woken up and packed, we headed to Watertown for our free hotel stay (we won this about 6 months ago at a farm fair). We had a nice dinner and chilled all evening. I went for a swim and took advantage of the hot tub before showering and curling up on the bed to watch TV. I watched most of “WifeSwap” and I think I would have killed both contestants within a week of having to live with them. (One was an obsessive-compulsively clean housewife and the other lived in a cluttered house with pets running around, no rules, and noise everywhere.) After that, I watched some Law & Order: SVU and some of the Brady Bunch stuff they were running on Nick@Nite. Jon came in and fell asleep snoring, so I moved out to the couch in our suite and fell asleep.<\/p>\n
This morning, we had a leisurely breakfast and I hit the treadmill at the hotel gym to do some walking. It reminded me of why I hate treadmills — I need scenery. Watching CNN<\/a> and “Dora the Explorer” just wasn’t the same as being out in Creation wandering and rejoicing in the beauty of it. After I got done, we packed up and did errands (banking, grocery shopping, getting household stuff at Evil Behemouth Company Who Exploits Their Workers But Is Cheap<\/a>, getting the car washed) before grabbing lunch at Arby’s and heading home.<\/p>\n I’ll be going out on a walk tonight and then either making lasagna or some more minestrone soup. (I need to do one or the other to make room in my fridge — probably soup.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday was crazy in that we had to get our prescriptions straightened out, do bulletins (which we hadn’t had a chance to do all week), mow the lawn, and get other things done.
