patting myself on the back

  • Hey there homies. Back from the weekend and I'm proud of myself. I'll go over why I'm so patting myself on the back in a moment. Friday morning I finally got well deserved sleep, then worked @ Traffic that afternoon. In the evening I went home, had leftovers for dinner and took a load off. It felt great. I actually got enough sleep that night as well.
  • Saturday I did the usual working in the morning thing. I ended up staying an extra 30 minutes due to losing a music log then finding it way later in an obscure place. Also there was a commercial missing for a major client so I had to dub that in. I finally got back home, and conquered some housework. Grace texted me a while later and invited me to go eat pizza with Fernando and the gang to celebrate his bday. Of course I said yes. We had Mountain Mike's and boy was it tasty. After getting my fill of pizza and soda I followed Fern's son Joey around for a bit. That kid grabbed my camera and figured out how to take pictures, and he had loads of fun. I suggest getting him a kid-proof one for his bday. Afterwards I went back to Fern's house where we played Guess Who? (remember that game from back in the 80s?) and watched Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke. Good times.
  • Sunday I was a good girl, and actually got my ass up and went to church. First service too. It was cool to get into the swing of things, although I really wanted to sleep in. After church Davina, Michelle and I went to Newpark Mall because Michelle needed to exchange a hat she bought for her boyfriend. We did a little shopping, and I picked up some sugar-free chocolate. Oh and we ran into our pals Tanya and Nicole who used to work with us at Sportmart back in the day. Haven't seen those fools in like 5 years. Wowzers. Well after the mall, we were hungry so we went across the street to the new BJ's restaurant. I had gone to another one in Stockton with Sandi earlier this year and loved it. This time I had the gigantic stuffed baked potato (chicken, cheese and broccoli), with a side salad first of course. We didn't have room for the Pizookie, but next time we definitely will. Next we made a drive-thru Starbucks run, then stopped by my place so I could get my earbuds and change into my workout attire. Oh and before that I went to Lucky to pick up toilet paper and tortillas. What a combo. So after my place we dropped off Michelle at home, then Davina and I went to the San Leandro Marina and walked the 3 mile trail/path thing. I amazed myself by walking it and not dropping dead. Okay so I'm carried away but I'm definitely not in shape and I survived. So yay! I'm hoping to go to the gym on Wed and Thurs this week, hopefully that'll help.
  • So that's why I feel accomplished today. I went back to church and I walked a lot. I'm not a marathon runner like some of you, and I don't always do what's right, Christianwise. But hey, it's a start.
