This afternoon I was interviewed by a local Newspaper, for an article on “older bloggers”.   And I was the “older woman” in the CobornsDelivers TV ad.  It’s getting harder and harder to deny that I’m “old”.  Good thing I don’t feel old.  Most days, anyway.

TechnoGym Wave:  46:46, 7.0 miles, HR=104.

My day can be summed up in just one word; laundry.

After Small Group Weights at the Marsh, I picked Avery up at Amy’s office.  Since we were running a little early for our 11:00 lunch date with Steve, we decided to check out Stone Ridge Equestrian in Long Lake.  Wow!  We scored the half chaps we’ve been unable to find as well as a sparkly child sized crop.  Once home, we made Gingerbread cake glazed with the orange marmalade I made a while back.  Once Steve was home with more spinach, we made two batches of Spinach Artichoke dip for tomorrow’s party.

TechnoGym Wave:  53:40, 8.0 miles, HR=109.

I sent Steve off to TheMarsh, rented “The Bishop’s Wife” and headed out to the exercise porch.  TechnoGym Wave:  1:47:00, 15 miles, HR=108.  I followed that with a bowl of fruit the size of my head topped with yogurt, chocolate chips and granola.  All washed down with coffee.  Showered and put on a dress for Mass at 4:00.  After that we’ll celebrate Christmas Eve at Steve’s sister, Stephanie’s home.

The usual Friday stuff at TheMarsh.  Lunch with Steve at Harvest Moon.  Spent the afternoon watching Steve slave away in the kitchen on my birthday dinner:  Steak’n’Bacon Cheddar Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Brussles Sprouts.  Yum!!  Then there was cake!  With 55 candles . . . We all move to the living room, and instantly it’s Christmas.  Such delightful chaos.  I am grateful.

As has become our habit, we went to TheMarsh after mass.   I took an Ai Chi class in the therapy pool while Steve hit the Training Center.    Not surprising, this time of year, there wasn’t one Open House.  I took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent some time outside playing ball with Daisy.  I’ll spend the afternoon between laundry and decluttering.

 I own  #1 and #3 .  But, awareness is a good start, right?

The usual Pilates and Small Group Weight Training at The Marsh.  I ran a few errands:  FedEx, Ridgedale, Good Will.  Back to The Marsh for a massage.  Met Steve for lunch at Harvest Moon.  Did some more shopping at Gear West.
