tired. are you?

First things first - e&k called me last night! YAY! that was too fun. speaker phone is such a joy. i may have to invest in one so we can all talk on one - plus winter's going to be coming soon and it'll be a tad chilly sitting outside with my cell. :) but it was great to talk to you both. i miss you! Hyde too! seriously, thanks for the great conversation. your support means so much to me - and having you as role models is great...i only wish now that i had started this last fall when you returned so i could have had you around the whole time. but it's okay. this way you'll be able to see the definite changes when i come to see you!

my weekend was good. friday jb and i worked a wedding rehearsal for two young persons getting married. that went well - quick as it was hot and i didn't really want to be out forever. i followed that with "wedding crashers" (again) with a1&a2. they hadn't seen it but it was that or murderball and i needed something really light that i didn't have to think through. we went to b&n afterward and walked around. i found a couple books for zach and emmy but i had left my gc at home so i'll have to go again (darn! - not).

saturday we had choir rehearsal for sunday's church services. that went well. it's always fun singing with a small orchestra. the instrumentalists were phenomenal. after that it was off to ls to work the wedding which worked out fine. one small hitch - i forgot to set up the communion stuff (which wasn't really communion in the sense i know it but whatever) but luckily they had a song right at the beginning so i snuck up and set it up. it worked.

these huge weddings just reiterate for me that i don't think i want that when i get married. i'm still all for the small ceremony, someplace intimate, with e presiding, k playing cello, my sister at my side, and our immediate families surrounding us with their love and support. what more could i ask for. :)

sunday the bach cantata's went really well, considering we only practiced a total of 5 1/2 hours before the services. debbie and i played cribbage between services. everyone kept making the money-changer jokes and such. blah blah blah.

sunday afternoon was great. i took a nap, then watched a couple, three, movies and just vegged while i was doing dishes and getting things ready for the day today. e&k called, as i mentioned, which was the highlight of the weekend. so fun. i can't wait to see them again.

but today now, i'm tired. e had told me, when i mentioned i was going to hit the gym today, that i would have less energy while on this phase. oh i think that's so true - i'm feeling that every morning (and night! I go to bed no later than 10 and I’m still tired)...this is one part i don't like about this program but i feel so much better overall. it might not be due to sb, but the last couple weeks i have had a real hard time getting up in the AM and have felt kind of sluggish throughout the day - or just unmotivated, not sure.

This week is so non-eventful it’s great. I have nothing planned for any of the nights, nor do I have plans for the weekend (save Sunday night when Chad, Debbie and I will get together after 7pm church). It’s so strange since last week every night was booked. This will be a nice change. All the more reason to start jogging at night and sit-ups/push-ups, as well. Guards is coming up again and I think it’s fit-testing month so I have to have at least some of my game on.
