Year Three, Day 48: "Take it Easy"

Today is 14 days of hooping everyday!  So, to celebrate, I recorded myself hooping to the entire song, "Take it Easy", by the Eagles.

I was brave and wore a shirt that does not cover my 'menopot' belly!  So you can see, I still have much work to do!

But my hoop skills are slowly improving!

I like progress!


My daughter surprised me last night. She called and told me to wake up early - we were going to breakfast! It was the incentive I needed to drag my weary self out of bed at 6:30 a.m.!!

We met at the Wichita Pub and then we went for a walk on the running track.  Most pleasant!!

Well, er except for the part where she was supposed to record a video of me hooping under my favorite tree in my new top!

That just arrived in the mail!

I bought it through 'GreaterGood: http://shop.greatergood.com/clothing/. A portion of the proceeds go to really wonderful causes!!

 I like wonderful causes!

Anyway, we tried maybe 10 takes, but could get past the first few seconds without her cracking up. We had some good laughs. But with her being 29 weeks pregnant, big belly laughs result in looking for a bathroom. So we had to give up.

Here is one blooper. Most embarrassing...but we had fun! I like fun!



Then my son surprised me and stopped by with his friend from childhood. I had not seen this young man since he was about 10 years old. For a few summers he practically lived with us!  I love all my kids' friends. Even when they were wild and unruly.

But this one grew up to be a very decent man. He has a full time job and two children. He proudly showed me their pictures. I am glad my son reconnected with him.

Better yet, he is a mechanic. He volunteered to come with me when I look for a car to make sure the engine is sound!  It is an answer to prayer! I know it is advised to bring your mechanic with you, but I did not have a mechanic. Until just this morning!

I told him he could take care of my car. He said, he would and I just need to buy him a beer. lol I told him I would pay his rate and when he went to look at the car I was purchasing, I would take him and my son out for food and beer! He smiled.

I have not had any encounters of the male kind since Tuesday. I am ok with it.  I wonder if I really have any time in my life for more than just friends.

I like friends.

Maybe I should just leave it right there for today.

Have a wonderful Wednesday - take it easy! :)

Talk to you tomorrow.

Much love and laughter,

Zita

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
