Went shopping this weekend! Had lots of fun. Laurie came with me. It was really cool because I was able to wear things at stores I haven’t even had the courage to set foot in in many years. For instance, the Gap. Express. Banana Republic. etc, etc. Ended up buying a bunch of shirts and two skirts (one from American Eagle Outfitters. Who knew?) and three pairs of shoes. Lovely.

Polly and Colin and George and I tried to go see Fahrenheit 9/11 on Friday night, but it was sold out. (Helloooo, I told George we’d have to buy tickets in advance, but he underestimates the intelligence of New Orleanians.) So we went to see a band play instead. Now, I hate New Orleans music so I don’t normally like going to see bands play, but I do love a good cover band. Tee hee! And this is a good cover band. Nothing cheesy, mostly Beatles and stuff. And we had the most delicious New Yaaawwwwk-style pizza beforehand. One slice, thank you. Stinkin’ points.

Saturday night, we were able to see the movie. Very powerful. Very emotionally wrenching in parts. Go see it. I won’t say anything else about it.

Yesterday was for relaxing and playing with the tiniest kittens ever. It took everything I had in me not to stick one in my pocket and run home with it. But of course they grow up, and Stinky is quite enough of a handful, thankyouverymuch.

Went to the gym this morning with Terry. Was nice to run on a treadmill again with fans blowing on me. Am a bit out of running shape, am looking forward to getting back into it, and with the weight I’ve lost, beating my 5K PR in the fall. And then training for my next marathon in May. But they raised the per-visit cost for civilians – $2 per visit instead of $1. Okay, still cheap, but harder to come up with.
