marching

Ok, really?? Are you kidding? So, tonight they were showing Back to the Future, Part 2! So again, we sat and watched it. Only, now it's over and I'm just getting started on the blog. It's 9:00 already. So much for a good bed time. :-(

But I really felt that I deserved to sit and relax a bit. I had a full, busy day. I was tempted a few times to stop and get distracted, but I didn't. I just kept marching on.

The day started around 4:45 like usual. I keep waking up about then, whether or not the kitty comes and pounces on me. I was lying awake worrying about all the things that need to be done in the next few days. So I decided to get up, since I wasn't sleeping anyway.

Worked to keep my mind on devotions, and then made a list. I am decorating for a high school banquet on Saturday, and I was beginning to panic. Time seemed to be slipping away from me.

Then I did some e-mailing and computer work, all before 7 am. Whew! Out to breakfast with the Mr. then a skype coaching call at 8.

Let me just pause here to say that flaming beef for breakfast is the absolute BEST! You might not know it, but a place of rice and a sizzling iron skillet of beef, onions and a fried egg is the breakfast of champions. We have it about every other day, and it is so yummy. In addition, all of that costs just $1 per person. 

OK. On to the day. After my skype call I went to this very big market. It's kind of like a wholesale market here in town. I had been having trouble finding the decorations I needed for this banquet. Well, it took quite a bit of searching, but I found everything I wanted. What's more, I found even better things than I had in mind. I felt like dancing a jig right there in the store! It was like a treasure hunt, and I had found the pot of gold.

For lunch the Mr. and I met a friend. After that I showered (finally!) and did a few more things around the house. I then went over to this same friend's house, where I am painting a large dresser. I did the base coat a few days ago, and today I sponged the back of it to give it texture, and traced some letters on it. Next week I'll go again and paint in the words.

A thoroughly creative day. It was really great. FUN projects in my future.

I got home a little later than I intended, but still almost had supper ready when the Mr. got home at 7. We had kimchi stew. That's when BttF2 came on. I have the sneaking suspicion the same channel is going to have #3 on tomorrow night. 

Anyway, the kitty must be feeling ignored, because she tried climbing up my back twice today. But amazingly, it didn't hurt or draw blood! Why did I wait so long to clip her claws???

So, right now Mr. is washing the dishes and the kitty is waiting to be played with. Then off to bed. I'm thoroughly tired, but quite satisfied with the day.
