I hope your weekend was as good as mine.
It didn't begin so well as I had to work late on Friday night to close up the bookkeeping office and left work late. Normally that wouldn't bother me at all, but I had made a commitment to walk in the Relay for Life event for the American Cancer Society. I felt bad, when my Team Leader called the store and told me I didn't have to come as the event was winding down. Things sure looked up after that though. :-) We watched "Casablanca" after I got home, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I had both Saturday and Sunday off.
First, I got an unexpected refund from the IRS. Guess the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing over there! We were able to pay some bills and purchase a few needed (and even some not so needed) items. Including a new 'smart phone' for me! Later, I'll explain how smart it really is!
For 3 weeks in a row I have participated in a 5-k event. I just walked the one this Saturday morning (it was sponsored by the HEB store, for HEB partners and their families. It didn't cost anything and they provided the water and fresh fruit after the 'race'. That you HEB 561!
Later that afternoon I called mom and we were able to treat her to a nice dinner at Bajas Grill in downtown Fredericksburg. Even mom enjoyed the food, including the jicama slaw. I had a pulled pork sandwich with sweet-potato fries! Yum! Leta and Mom had a Bacon, Lettuce and Avocado sandwich. After we finished dinner we went for a ride and drove out to Luckenbach, where unbeknownst to us, there was a huge motorcycle rally going on. We headed back into town and had SNT (Saturday Night Treat) at the local dairy queen.
Sunday we got up and headed into San Antonio. Called Erica and Tom and agreed to meet them at Henri's Puffy Tacos, as it was Cinco de Mayo and Leta needed to "have herself a margarita." Erica said she and Tom just happened to be on their way over there! She called back a few minutes later to inform us that Henri's was closed. So she suggested we meet at The Alamo Cafe. Leta thought she knew where it was, but after we got off the highway it wasn't where she expected it. So I get out my new phone, hit a button that said "Navigation" and say into the phone "Alamo Cafe, San Antonio, Texas." 2 locations pop on my screen and I select the one we want. The phone then displays a map, showing the route and directions to the restaurant! As we navigate our way to our destination the phone says "arriving at destination, on right".
We had a nice meal with Erica and Tom and invited them to come out next weekend to spend some time with us, before Erica has to head to Baltimore for her "extership."
Then we went to Dicks Sporting goods and I got shorts (finally) and a tech running shirt. Then we headed over to JoAnn Fabric and got a few items, The Christian Book store and picked up a couple of books I "needed" and finally we swung by Office max and picked up a file storage box, to help us ...organize! No really, we will get organized this time, AND do the craft project(s) from Jo Ann's!!
This morning I got up, downloaded a couple more "apps" to the phone, i.e. Mapmyrun and Myfitnesspal. Then I put on my new workout clothes and went for a 30 minute 2 mile "run". The Mapmyrun tracked my run, time and calories and automatically uploaded the information to my account with them on the internet!
Now I've completed my blog entry and have to get ready to go to work. So I say;
"Bye for Now...Gotta run"
Tom
