Friday evening–isn’t it funny how different days of the week evoke different memories?  When I was little–not real little, cause we didn’t have a t.v. until I was about in 4th grade–it was the one night I could stay up and watch t.v.; Alfred Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone, if I remember correctly.  I’d be ready for bed in my quilted robe, with my cat smuggled up from the cellar and hidden under the robe to keep me company and a fresh box of Bachman pretzels to eat.  Fast forward a few years and it was roller skating night, a few more years brought Friday night dances at the local Catholic H.S.  I’m not Catholic, went with a girlfriend who was and ended up going to their prom rather than my own.  He was my first “steady” (yeah, I probably talked to him once a week!) and I couldn’t expect him to pay for both schools and since he asked me to his first I missed my own.  I went in a borrowed gown–it was green.  We double-dated with another couple who were hot and heavy into each other; my date drove and I was rather embarrassed by the back seat goings on.  Everyone in the world was more mature than me at that point.  I remember they were planning their wedding and naming their kids—for the record, they didn’t ever get married.  After  the prom we ate, then we went bowling!!!!

Enough!  Onward!  Gym today: stretch and exercise mat, weight machines–I’m back up to my weights from last spring on most, a little above on others ( 140lbs. on calf lift, 95lbs. on compound row), treadmill for 2.92 miles, rowing machine for 8 min..   I know some people just hate-hate-hate treadmills but I really like them.  No heat, cold, rain, wind, traffic, or smog.  No dogs, bees, mosquitos, snakes, or other critters. I can set/vary the speed and incline at my whim.  I know exactly how far I’ve gone in how much time.  It feeds my need for info.  Time to think and plan.  What’s not to like?  Yoga was cancelled so I went on to the grocery store.

Food: bfsk: oatmeal w/skim, 1/2 banana, decaf tea w/skim…….snack: 1/2 Wasa w/p.b., v8………….main meal: hamburger patty, sauteed mushrooms, black eyed peas, asparagus, mixed greens salad w/ tomatoes and balsamic vinegarette, mango chunks………..snack: 1/2 wasa w/ ham and low fat Swiss, blueberry yogurt w/ extra berries

I’m done, chickadees—promised to make bean salad yet tonight.  Have a major race to work tomorrow—must watch eating there.  Sweet dreams!!!
