Today was a pretty good day! I woke up in the middle of the night...well, actually I guess early this morning...at 3:30am. That didn't make me so happy, but I went back to sleep for another hour or so, and then got up.
Stopped for gas on the way to work, and still had time to swing through the drive through ATM at the bank. I had to pull out cash to pay the cleaning company to go service the rental house. That is something I've never done before, is hire a cleaning company. Honestly, I just didn't have it in me to tackle that project-and my ex husband was nice enough to offer to pay the bill for a cleaner. I definitely think it was worth it, because these people have been over there cleaning ALL day long for $180. The realtor checked in on them and said they are doing an amazing job. I guess they used an entire bottle of cleaning solution on the shower door that I had previously thought would be ruined forever, and he said it turned out so well that I won't need to replace it at all. Thank goodness! Hopefully that is another expense avoided.
After work I went to the post office where I had to mail a package to a friend. A very delayed package, I might add. I feel terrible about that-but at least it is on it's way now!
I went ahead and pulled in to the store on my way after that because I figured if I didn't get it done I wouldn't want to go back-and I needed some food for the week
Now waiting just a few more minutes and I'll be heading up to the park to go for a walk with a friend. We've planned to walk 3 days this week and try to get on some sort of regular schedule for that so that we do not become lazy! I love to go so I'm all for it. If she ever decides to bail out, I'll probably just go on my own, or substitute rollerblading for one night. I love rollerblading. I got re-inspired to exercise three times a week a couple weeks ago when helping a friend move. I am in embarrassingly bad shape. Time to do something about it!
I had a piece of string cheese for a snack when I got home but I don't know what I'll have for dinner yet.
Started a new book today! Plum Spooky. It is a between the numbers novel in the Stephanie Plum series. I think I mentioned previously that I went to see the Stephanie Plum move and loved it. Such fun!
Let's see... I guess I don't know too much else....better get busy!

Ah, waking up in the middle of the night, welcome to my world! Glad your ex footed the bill for the cleaning services and so glad they did such a good job. Kudos on the excercising. I know I should be my arthritis is so bad.......the dr. said it will feel better to exercise but it doesn't. I am convincing myself that running after a 17 mo. old three days a week is my exercise..........
Good thing you were able to go back to sleep. Hope the house project work keeps going well and you get to sell it for a good price. I go to my last Zumba class this evening. I used part of my retirement to pay off my charge card but the check hasn't cleared yet, so I have to wait till I get a statement that says zero balance then I will sign up for unlimited Zumba classes at only $49 a month. I am going to try out some of the newer classes and see how they work for this 60 year old body and then print out a schedule and put it on the fridge.
Plum Spooky! All of the above, like.
My favorite work out of the week is the morning I walk with other mommy friends at the park. So nice to have a little accountability!
I have no problems with nosy questions at all! I knew I couldn't do the waxing thing at home, and was worried that I'd break out if I used the chemical stuff. So I do it the old fashioned way-I found a women's electric shaver at Target specifically for facial hair. The first couple of times it hurt until I got the hang of it. I always make sure I only use it when the boys are gone-I'd never hear the end of it if they found out what that noise was coming from my bathroom!
I'm determined to start walking 3x a week. If I'm by myself, I either listen to my iPod or use it as my "thinking time". And there is nothing better than a Stephanie Plum book! Didn't get a chance to see the movie. But her grandma is such a darned character and I love her-always makes me laugh!
