Later...
I did the pool thing again today. I really did not want to, 'cuz you know I'm pooped. But I did 45 minutes, 1,900 yards AND I treaded water for THIRTY MINUTES! Thirty friggin' minutes people! Of course it helped there was no one else in the pool and I had the lifeguard to my own chatty self. By the time we were finished chatting she was trying to introduce me to the powers that be because she said I should get back to teaching water aerobics/movement and she added they are looking for an aquatic director. Yeah, right. I told her I couldn't begin to ask other people to do things I cannot do. She said she would give me another week of training and ask me again. As I was walking back into the locker room she said she was still going to talk to the boss about me. She made me laugh. It's nice to have people think you're something special, even for a couple moments.
Since I never got around to it yesterday I buzz cut my hair this morning. Note for next time: 1/4" is TOO SHORT! Oh boy, just wait until Hubby comes home and sees me. I know he won't say too much because he's feeling bad about going out tomorrow night with the guys and leaving me home. It is a bachelor dinner and gambling night but he knows I absolutely, positively dispise these things. If there is a celebration to be had it should always be co-ed. Always. Or no celebration at all. Just my opinion but one I've always felt very strongly about.
Hubby called and asked if we could do something tonight because "I feel bad I get to go out tomorrow night and you have to stay home." I wonder if I should play this up a bit? Probably not, I'm not in the mood, but he'd better not tick me off in the meantime!
