Sunday: So the Pool is Still Closed

Two days after Christmas and both of my lap pool options are still closed. Also, I am still in the midst of Christmas visiting, so I took the day off after my long run yesterday. Most likely, I will take tomorrow off as well. Tuesday may be a swim and run day and Wednesday will be a longer swim day. Then the pool will close for New Years, and I MUST make the decision about taking Todd's next class. Also, I would like to squeeze in a Hot Yoga or two.

Really, my ideal New Year's resolution is to take one million workout classes, dusk till dawn, and somehow also spend copious amounts of time with my son. While I am pretty sure that it does not work this way, I would like for it to work this way.

Now, today, I slept in and had breakfast, I am fast developing a love affair with my oatmeal/protein powder breakfast. I had that and a LOT of green and white teas. After that, my husband and I got ourselves and the baby ready for church. I am currently spending a lot of time in my True Religion Supervixen Disco Billy jeans (which have a good thick denim that maintains its shape) and cashmere turtlenecks from J Crew. This is what I wore to Church, and I felt pretty fabulous. Church is not a fashion show, and I realize that my clothing choices are not what matters. My point is that I love to have a "go-to" outfit and black jeans are my new dress pant; just to keep you in my loop. Also, I wore a lovely blue double cloth trench which I Ebay-ed from J. Crew a few years ago. It still thrills my heart to see it in my closet. Please tell me you are Ebay-ing!!!!!

Now, as we were approaching the our church, Elliott mentioned that he thought that they had actually cancelled the second service for today. While, it actually would have been even better if he had mentioned this last night or even this morning when I was hustling everyone in their Sunday finery, he was indeed right. We pulled into our parking space in time to see everyone shaking hands and climbing into their cars to go home. SO, we headed to Starbucks and had breakfast and coffee with some neighbors, who had actually listened in church last Sunday to the all important Christmas holiday service schedule and gotten to church on time.

We had a nice time, but are unchurched this Sunday all the same.

At home, Ivan had a nap and I packed up to head out to my parents' house to spend the evening having dinner with Mom and Daddy, and then visiting with friends in the evening.

Today was a pretty good Perricone day, but for a small melt-down with a bit of fudge pie while visiting friends.

Heading to bed with American Lion. Look for my book report on The Elegance of the Hedghog. It turned out quite well in the end.
