I think I’ve gone into autopilot regarding this blog. I love to write, but I’ve gotten so conditioned to adding updates every few days that I feel like writing is more of a compulsion than a pleasure. Plus, if I update too often, you’ll know how I spend every moment of my time and, well….boring.

Still, I’ll keep updating until I get so busy or preoccupied that I forget to write for a month and then you can hassle me to update. Until then, here’s what I’ve been up to.

Friday night, I spent 3-4 hours at church setting things up. Decorating the sanctuary reminded me of decorating for prom: stringing up white lights, moving the stacking chairs, adding tableclothes, silver, and stemware. It was fun. I also realized that it was about as organized as prom decorating, except with adults. This meant only minimal hurt feelings and clique warfare. I didn’t discern any actually occurring, but then again, I wasn’t in charge or aiming to be in charge. No one complained to me.

On Saturday, I slept way way late. It was okay though. I dragged myself to the gym and had a pleasant 40 minute weight-lifting workout. Those 40 minutes have granted me over two days of pain, let me assure you. I’m so freaking sore. I focused on upper body and now everything from the waist up hurts, including my armpits. Sigh. Motrin is helping though. I want to tone up my body and this is the best way for me to do it. Still, it literally hurts to start lifting again. I used to love it, but then again, I wasn’t as untoned as I am now. The muscle pain, it will subside. I just have to keep going back until it feels good again. I know. I’m a masochist.

Our fundraiser on Saturday night went well. I was busy the whole time, but I had fun and managed to win a few items in the silent auction. Danny showed up around dinner time and I got to introduce him to a few of my friends. I bugged out a little early but didn’t feel too bad since I’d set up the night before.

On Sunday, I went to service, lounged around the house, ran some errands, and cooked a good supper. I also started some new sinus treatment my doctor prescribed. Today, I”ve been sneezing a lot. I think my body is still getting used to the sinus meds.

Feeling achy and sneezy, I left work at noon, came home, and crashed. Even though I know I don’t have a cold, I definitely needed the extra rest. Plus, work was dead today so I didn’t feel too guilty.

Today is Valentine’s Day. I like this day and I don’t. Whatever. Tonight, we’re staying home, cooking supper, and enjoying being together. Yay! No crowds. Just pasta, wine, chocolate, and Olympic coverage. What more could a girl ask for?

Here are some pictures of…

A. Boomer watching Animal Planet. He loves to watch TV. He is particularly enthralled with figure skaters, however it could just be a phase.

Here’s a picture of the flowers I bought at the farmer’s market yesterday. Now my bathroom smells like a spring garden. Hoorah. The flowers look like bunches of baby daffodils. Any idea what they are? Me neither.
