Day 22

[susandennis]

27 at 27 with stretches and Day B plan.

But, disaster looms!  The gym is closed on Sunday! 

When did Easter become such a big hoo ha???  You get a new dress for Sunday School, you look for eggs in the yard,  you have ham for lunch - badda bing, you're done.   Sometime Easter morphed into a Spring Christmas and I don't mean that in a good way - presents, stores closed, family requirements. 

None of this was a problem until it got personal.  Yeah yeah, I can exercise here and walk somewhere but it's not the same.  Do I get a star if it's not in the gym?  I'm going to have to rethink the rules here.

But, today's star is a lock.

Wow... now, that's a sophisticated star system!!! Sounds excellent.

Out of the gym counts for a star if the gym is closed for sure! You'll have to figure out if it counts on days when it's not, but when it is, definitely!

It is kind of funny. I had two posts about Easter on my friends' list. Both yours nad hres bemoaned the commercial presents stuff, but the funny thing is you're commenting about stores being closed now while she is commenting 'stores used to be closed, now everyone is out shopping for Easter presents'. Kind of funny - for you it seems to have been a low-key mostly-formality day which is now made much more a fuss, and for her a very solemn religious thing which is now made much more commercialized.

I just thought it was amusing, how the different backgrounds we come from affect our perceptions.

Ok, #1, I like your rule!! gym closed = star anyway. I am clear on when gym open and I don't go = NO star!

Every once in a while, on my friends list, I'll get two entries close together like that - opposing views and, often, I don't agree with either one. I am always afraid that my friends list will become too homogenious - not different enough from me but when this happens, I know I'm safe.

There is that, if I wanted my friends list to all be like me I could just talk to myself, most people wouldn't think I was much weirder anyway.

I enjoy different views and thinking - and sometimes, like today, it's just amusing how they come close together and opposite.

I don't eat ham, one of my kids is on a diet (tho I promised her sugar-free candy which works with lo-carb,) and the other is probably going to mass with her Catholic friends (and wearing jeans!.) I remember new dresses and baskets and the whole shebang. Now I've gotten, from each of them, "If you want to get me something for Easter, make it a CD." Teenagers aren't so into new dresses and hats and baskets and plastic easter grass.

Oh, and I was planning to go to Tijuana this weekend for some birthday shopping (touristy stuff I've promised myself forever, and now can have for my birthday!) and only yesterday morning realized that Sunday is Easter, Mexico is a Catholic country, and I would probably NOT be able to see my doctor (to get a recommendation for an oral surgeon) on Sunday. Boo Hiss. So we go tomorrow instead. But this Sunday being Easter totally effed with my head AND my schedule.

Walk and stretch and give yourself a star. Too bad you don't have a bunny sticker =)

I'm not happy either about the gym I use being closed tomorrow. Messes up my routine! I'll do what I can at home, but it's not the same. But so far Easter over here still is quite low-key compared to Christmas, which is out of control. The only thing I really notice this weekend is that the shopping centres are insane because people panic when the shops are closed for a whole day at a time.
