Mid-Day Musings

September 27, 2008

Day started out with some promise.

First and foremost, slept in until 8 AM, late considering guests in the house.
But all had been up late, with three not arriving until midnight.

Coffee – not usually an adventure, but we had to locate and plug in the Mr. Coffee I purchased in my college days. It keeps working when new versions have puked out. Carl & I usually just do the one cup at a time method. So – coffee finally put on so all could gain their footing on the day.

Kids happily playing with this and that, and Maggie doing some great cartoon drawings of those present.

I had to leave for soccer – a little late getting out, but chatting with friends is always more fun.
Soccer game – need to get back into better running shape, but a worthy contest. We tied 3-3, with our last goal coming in the last 2 minutes. I had pledged after the last game to work out several days during the week. I failed miserably to meet the goal due to 2 Mariner games, 1 late night at work, 1 late night work meeting, 1 night massage + cleaning house (sort of like exercise). Make same pledge for next week.

Work for a few hours – catch up on a few of all of those smaller, but necessary questions that arrived during last week. It was definitely a gaining work week. Hopefully next week will be different.

Now I am off to decorate toilets for a bit, and then maybe home to bake a cake.
It is a lovely afternoon, and still a promising day.
