Workout? What workout? Okay, this weekend was laaaazy. But whatever. Actually, only from the point of view that I didn’t work out. When I got home from work on Friday, I didn’t feel like doing much, so I decided to get some Vietnamese takeout for dinner and a movie. I didn’t want to rent from Blockbuster, and I knew there was a Major Video somewhere on the west bank, so I picked up my food and drove around to where I thought it was. Ninety minutes later, I was at the Blockbuster by my house after all. Couldn’t find the stupid Major Video. And all of this was because they have rent-two-get-one-free. So I did this to save $4? And my food was cold when I got home. On the other hand, I found a nice new Wal-Mart and got some yarn on sale to make a scarf for the silent auction. Nice chunky pink yarn. Then I watched some girly movie and started “Catch Me If You Can” which I really liked. George went out without me, and came over briefly to say hi. He stayed out until four or so, which is why I had no pity for him on Saturday…

We had plans to go to flea markets and thrift stores so he could look for a vintage Apple computer (god, geeks!). It was hot. It was humid. He was hungover. The flea market is mostly in a huge unairconditioned building. While I was uncomfortable, George was dying. Little sympathy from me, though. (Well, some…I’m not that mean!) After our (mostly unsuccessful – except I got a bag of gorgeous pale green real wool yarn, about 5-6 skeins for $4!) shopping trip, George went home to sleep and I went home to read. Then I went over to Terry and Rob’s house, ate some delicious Mexican food and then to the pub for a bit. A nice relaxing evening.

Sunday I spent driving around again looking for George’s birthday present. Found some stuff. Then his parents, grandpa and uncle came to the pub, we ate pizza and cake, hung out for a few hours, then went home. Read some more.

So maybe I didn’t technically work out, but Saturday involved a lot of walking and sweating, so it’s practically the same thing. Okay, maybe not.

I am a little confused about TNT. Here I was, waiting all week for a package of more information, and I get a letter that says “don’t miss the meetings” but no mention of when the meetings would be. And no information about how to take care of the money we collect, and all that other important information. Maybe I should just be patient, but I really want to get started! Aside from the jar on my desk with Blo-Pops in it and a sign that says “Free with 25 cent donation.”
