Back From A Run.. Uphill AND Against The Wind....

Hey all,

Weekend is going fabulously! I was in the best mood yesterday! I was really stressed about a meeting out of office that I had to go to.... I was running the show, had to take a taxi there, just a number of things that would make any anxious person feel physically ill.. but the meeting went quite well! And a coworker came with me and he just signed out a car from the office so we didn't have to take a taxi... all was good! At lunch I got an US Weekly magazine for the bus ride home and that was all I needed to make me smile! Had some dinner with Brian and then we headed out to return some blinds and get me a new interview outfit! Black pencil skirt (size 7!!) and blue blouse. I'm all set to dress to impress on Tuesday :) I did some groceries at No Frills and then headed over to catch the last few minutes of Brian's jiu jitsu class, where he got his green belt. Way to go Brian! When we got home I baked some cookies and then we had a friend over and we all watched some TV. I was in bed by 11:30pm.

Today we went to Walmart to pick up a couple standing floor lamps and then to Shopper's Drug Mart to spend our optimum points! $200 of free stuff!! I love shopping for free!! We stocked up on necessities (laundry detergent, toilet paper, soap, etc) and fun stuff (snacks, pop, a movie, etc.) We got home around 1pm and watched Scream 2....those Scream movies are so funny to me now! I am really enjoying them but they almost seem like a spoof....very unrealistic...just entertaining. I can't believe I was so scared when I saw them in theatres! It just goes to show you how realistic movies have become in the last decade, and how used to violence we are now. After dinner I did some cleaning and then headed out for a run. Like the title of this blog entry states, it was uphill and against the wind... sprinkling off and on outside too, which was refreshing! It always feels good to go for a run :) Now I'm showered and in my pjs early on a Saturday night... Brian should be home from work in a couple hours and we'll settle in to watch a movie. I'm definitely much more well rested today! Getting 10 hours of sleep last night helped :)
