Almost...

But not quite. The weekend---the LONG weekend. So in the meantime, after all the DWTS and American Idol, plus the banter I had going back and forth on chums' Facebook Walls, I'm ready for a breather! See, they were for Kris Allen, and I wasn't. Uh...I said no more Idol until 2010...I lied. Oh, and wouldn't ya know, one of those chums said I really knew how to stir up the pot.

Sweet!

Did the Senior Rec Center tonight and tomorrow morn, I'll step on the scale to see if it screams as loud. Hope not. Funny, how much I missed the whole bike, treadmill and read routine. Getting my nerve to do the pool there. My bestest good best friend, Bingo agreed she'd walk it with me. After the over 30 years, we've known each other, Bingo didn't realize how terrified of water I am. Like to be around it, wade, yet gotta always touch the bottom. Life as synchronized swimmer woulda been a dream unfilled.

I could go on and talk about a bunch of stuff, but ya know, that's what tomorrows are for. Right how, gotta finish putting the trash out, eat a salad, pet a cat and watch today's episode of the Young and the Restless.. I just want to slap Jill and wish I could remember the back story of Mary Jane and not feelin' Cybil Sheppard's daughter Clementine as Mac. Anyhoo, the train to Genoa City awaits.

And cue up the Commodores with "Sweet Love" just because I heard this in the grocery store tonight. Reminded of how good a song this is especially before Lionel Richie became LIONEL RICHIE, and when he played in a group.

Monday Mud

Soak to the soul rain today. More in the forecast. Lawns needed the drink, so all is OK. Especially because the work day is over, my trash is by the curb, plus Dancing With the Stars to hold my attention.

A couple things. First, the Time Magazine pictures of President Barack Obama, in my opinion, are wonderful! Goosebumps still rise on my arm of the event on November 4, 2008. The man is not Moses. I admire what President Barack Obama attempts to do with the issues of our nation. Issues, by the way, he inherited. These pictures make me smile. I am so grateful I continue to experience this History.

The other thing--to get out of my comfort zone. Pondered it all day. The steps I can make, which includes to register at a rec center where a discount is given to my demographic. Heck, they even offer Tai Chi and ballroom dance lessons to members! How cool would that be? Even AARP gives a discount for car and home insurance for my demographic-so a quote will be asked for---ASAP!

Granted, I've not exactly embraced this 'golden' age as I should. Yet I realize, regardless of age, I chose to be forever golden. So I best get over it. Got things I need to do. Discounts to get. And He didn't bring me this far to leave me.

Then snapped pictures to show off one of my rose bushes. Notice the beauty a little rain and a traipse thru some mud will get ya?

Not bad.
