Friday was a pretty low-key night. We took a late trip to Target to pick up a few things. While we were there, we ran into a girl (I say girl, she was probably in her late 20's or early 30's) who was quite dressed up for a late evening trip to Target. We first spotted her in line at Starbucks. She was wearing a cute black top with a white short satin bubble skirt and thigh-high black healed boots. She was draped in jewelry and her hair was all done up. We kept walking and minding our own business, but we kept running into her - we saw her in the Christmas section, the housewares section, the clothing, everywhere and she never had anything in her hands. Maybe she was wasting time before a hot date or maybe she had been on a date and it didn't go so well. Needless to say, I felt a little underdressed in my jeans and hoodie!
Saturday was a pretty productive day. We both got on the treadmill and then I picked up the house and went grocery shopping while Brandon mowed and cleaned up the garage. Then, I went out and about with Brandon's mom, sister and aunt while he stayed home and played Tiger Woods golf on the Wii. Then, we all ordered pizza for dinner and we watched the KSU vs. OU game and answered the door for the few trick-or-treaters that stopped by. Our favorite was Jacob, the little monkey (and our friend's little boy!). I must say, how about them Cats! Even though we lost, we still played a great game!
Sunday was a pretty typical day. We went to church and then had a small group focus group after church. Then, I went to do a little shoe shopping and ended up leaving TJ Maxx with a few steals! I got two purple vases for the top of my kitchen cabinets and a leather ottoman to go with the purple chair in our living room. The rest of the day was spent just relaxing and hanging out. It was definitely nice to be home with relatively little to do! That doesn't happen too often.
As I mentioned above, Brandon and I both got on the treadmill Saturday morning. We're pledging to do this every morning for a while. We have both gotten a little lazy in the exercise area (me especially) and decided that if we would work out in the morning, then it would be done for the day and we wouldn't have to worry about it in the evenings after we've been working all day. We decided that I would get up and get on the treadmill first since it takes me longer to get ready for work, but I knew I would lose motivation if Brandon was not up as well. The thought of him being all nice and snuggled into bed while I'm up sweating isn't much motivation. So, he agreed, but only on one condition - I have to iron all of his work shirts ahead of time so he doesn't have to wait on me before work. As much as I hate ironing, I took him up on his offer.
So, this mornign, I got up a little before 6:00 am and hopped on the treadmill and Brandon was up and awake - he had to let the dog out - watching TV. I was finished around 6:20 and got in the shower and got ready. I was so speedy, that I had time to get a roast in the crock pot and sit down for breakfast! If I can keep this up, I think I will be much more productive and I will feel so much better. So, wish us luck!!
