Here is the debut of “Sunday Somethings.” My friend Kerry and i came up with this as a way to do a weekly check-in. We’d love to have others join in; we’ll link to you if you’ll link to us. Note that the categories may vary slightly from person to person (I have an entry for bridge related news, and Kerry has one about her daughter).
Something that made me smile this week: Running outside during beautiful weather, sun shining down, wind blowing softly to cool overheated skin.
Something i struggled with this week: Giving blood. I think it’s an important thing to do and i try to do it whenever the blood drive comes to my office. However, this time i was particularly woozy after the donation. And the next morning in the shower i nearly blacked out.
Something tasty i ate this week: Basil Parmesan Chicken salad at McAllister’s Deli in North Hills. They have such interesting food there.
Something from the bridge table: Lance has started teaching bridge to some beginners on Wednesday nights, a nice group of eight twenty-something gals. One of the other local bridge teachers heard about it and said to him, “If they are interested in real bridge lessons, you can give them my contact information.” Wow.
Some things i am doing toward my goals: I completed a CPR & First Aid training class. I cut open a fresh pineapple for the first time (and i think fresh pineapple totally kicks the ass of canned pineapple). I am in the process of learning JSL.
Something I’m reading: Love the One You’re With, by Emily Griffin
Something happening around the house: Cleaned out the garage. It’s the cleanest it has ever been. We have found quite a few things to donate, and quite a few techno items that probably need to be recycled. Trouble is, it’s not cheap to get rid of your old monitors and printers.
Something i am thinking: I wan to plan a trip to Chicago this summer to a) visit my brother and his fiance, and b) go to some major league baseball games. I need to call him and work that out so we can make it happen!
Something i am hoping: That Lance has a safe Spring Training trip this week, and that he has a good time with the guys.
Something i am looking forward to next week: Getting my hairs done.
Something i captured: A picture of a bird in the rain outside my window, surrounded by water droplets.
