Today has been stupendous. LET THAT BE NOTED! September, you are my friend!
That all said, this past weekend was rather swell and deserves yet ANOTHER EOTW. Also, last week deserves a little shoutout: HITF HH consisting of beer, lots of laughing and making-fun-of, guessing $8-an-hour, talking wrong kind of toupees, sitting in the dark with Christmas lights at Club Jag until 9pm. THAT kind of HH, yes; also went to the Fair with Current Workplace folk which was quite wonderful. Friends everywhere.
EOTW! Quickly!
Friday quick lift, where I did 17 PRESS HANDSTANDS, 14 of them in a row, and felt stronger and more flexible than EVER, not sure how that happened…superheroinelike!; grocery shop, then lots of wine and delicious peapod meal…always getting better! We were stressy but we were together. That is what matters. you and me you and me
Saturday up earlyish, what did we do? Can’t remember. Work in Yellow Room Motel? I then made us a ‘fancy’ breakfast of pancakes eggs and smoothies. FOOD! Off to workout (Jeff) bike ride (me). Stressy despite beautiful blue sky and beautiful ride around the lakes. Trying to breathe like how I meditate to combat it. LIFE. Home to shower and do some crazy house cleaning (along with goofing off, yep)…I cleaned the kitchen like crazy and Jeff the rest of the house. GORGEOUS! Called Erik and harassed him. Not sure what else I did this day, I barely remember it? Eventually made Best Meal Ever at 9pm which was a fine decision indeed. Bed.
Sunday woke to geese calling as they flew away and a chill-filling room. Fall, thou hast arrived. Brewed HOT COFFEE for the first time since April…awwww. But kind of love. I kind of feel like I might be In Love with this Fall and want to Marry It. Hah.
Sat outside wrapped in a blanket and fleece and ate my toast + yogurt, then moved to the chaise where I drank coffee and finished my book. My Friend Leonard. It made me cry twice. Had to move the chaise-reading party inside when rain came and Jeff made fun of me. Hah. Finished book inside. THEN bike to a quick swim at the U. SUN came out! Love to swim.
Home again and ready for FAIR! It was a glorious day for our 2nd Fair attendance. Very cool and full of people wearing FALL clothes. Fall Fair. Yes indeed. We prowled around for new foods and eventually got tired and needed to rest. That got our energy right back! We laughed at the Cranberry Juice Drink Guy (“You might not have tomorrow, so drink some juice today!” “HIGH FIVE! She’s cool, but she’d be cooler if she had a cup of juice in the other hand!”). Then Skee-Ball! I was OK. Got a gift for Erik. Ha ha ha. We proceeded to do a weird arm-circle dance in front of the arcade to the DDR music. No one batted an eye (that we could see). INTENSE weirdos. MFEO.
It got dark. I got some earrings and we continued to enjoy food….DUH. Then came across International Bazaar again and the band started playing “Crazy In Love” aka our wedding-walking-in song. I grabbed Jeff and we immediately started dancing in the street. This time a toddler girl was watching us and started imitating Jeff’s crazy moves. She was hilariously adorable but scared of my high-five. I don’t blame her. That dance = highlight of my weekend. (Coffee in blanket/reading a close second.)
Home and Kix and bedtime.
Monday we dinked around a lot in the AM. Whoops. Then to the gym, Jeff drove, I biked. Finally home and prepared our PICNIC! Picnicked along the creek which was beautiful and stressy all at once. The creek was gorgeous and we were lovers. Fancy cheese and exploding soda. Reflections. Reflecting. Shadows. Hugs. Jeff accompanies me to get jellybeans and we see Halloween merchandise. He is excited. Home and got super lazy and ordered pizza. I stupidly freaked out about some work thing I had to do but all was OK eventually. Talked to Katy and put away laundry. Jeff plays DS/Zelda. A quiet night at home. Bliss and deserved.
