I'm Good!

I started out my Saturday by getting up at 5 (which should be against the law!). Rode the bike for 30 minutes and then got ready to go up to Goodyear. I've been putting it off because I'm trying not to spend any money on my car since I'm hoping to get a new one next year sometime. But it had reached the point where I was afraid I would get killed going down the highway at night!! My car was soooo out of alignment that I could barely hold it on the road at 60 miles an hour. And considering that the speed limit is 70 (which means that people are driving 75 - 80) it was suicidal driving at 60 MPH. I was first in line and I was excited because that meant that I'd probably get out of there by 9 or 9:30 at the latest. Unfortunately, part of the problem I was having was that somehow some thingamagig was bent...they had to call another location to get a part sent over which meant that I was stuck there for HOURS!! So I decided to walk to the mall. I walked and walked and walked and then when I got to the mall (by the way I hate malls! LOL) I walked and bought, walked and bought and walked and bought. By the time I finally made it back to Goodyear I was exhausted!

From Goodyear I went to my weekly luncheon at Atlanta Bread Company for a bowl of their french onion soup. Ummm, ummm good! Then I hit the streets in search of some cloth bags for the Christmas ornaments that I bought the girls at work. I'd already gone over my budget so I was looking for something cheap. Finally found 6 at a Dollar General Store. But I needed 9! So I drove to another Dollar General store and found 2 more. Still short one, so I bought two cute little mitten/stockings. Two lucky gals will get the mittens in their goody container.

Then it was back home to start cleaning up the place (my mother is coming for a visit this week). First I had to increase the mess by fixing up all the goody containers for the girls. Once that was out of the way I emptied dish washers, filled dish washer, mopped the kitchen floor (after cleaning it on my hands and knees), did 5 loads of laundry, folded and put up all 5 loads of laundry, cleaned two of the three bathrooms, cleaned the baseboards everywhere except the guest room and bathroom, cleaned out the refrigerator and took the garbage up to the dump.

I am exhausted! But here comes the "I'm good" part! If I didn't get in another 1/2 hour of "official" exercise today I wouldn't get to post 4 points for my December points challenge at 3FC. I wavered back and forth but finally made myself get in 30 more minutes on the bike!!! I'm so proud of myself I could just go to bed!! LOL

Another full day tomorrow...gotta vacuum the whole place, clean up the guest bedroom & bathroom (that shouldn't take but a few minutes though) and make the peppermint bark and oreo balls to take to work on Monday.
