My Week
I had free exercise classes between the holidays. I tried to pay up for the next session last Friday but was turned away because the gal at the desk was clueless. Went back on Tuesday and got it all taken care of. I went to the First Night Civil War Ball at the Old State Capitol. My son called me the Queen of Hearts in sarcasm so now I’d like a new ball dress. The ball was fun, great exercise, and educational. I was proud to be a part of this. Also I was glad that as a volunteer tour guide at the Old State Capitol, I was able to help some of the guest dancers in small ways such as the sound system. There are more photos at:http://www.dancingdates.com/ When Mrs Lincoln stepped away, I caught a photo with Abe.
The fireworks were cancelled because of high winds. I gave away 2 pair of rubber skids for walking on ice thru freecycle last week. I still have a pr for myself. I’ve been cleaning closets. I had no idea how many unmatched socks that I have and I keep wearing socks with holes because those are not shoved in the back. I got a few gifts that you'll say to yourself "It's the thought that counts"I think I'll give away my purple parka. After all, when Alan and I went to Walmart, I asked him on the way out if he saw any of the "people of walmart". He looked at me and said yes. He pointed out that I had a purple coat on with green jeans and a white knit cap New Years morning was the reader at church. The first reader did not show so I did both readings. Later I learned that she had emailed me about 40 minutes before Mass that she was ill. Then when I got to work on Tuesday, she had left a message on my work number that she couldn’t make it. New Years day was so windy that the landscape bricks are blowin' away. I was listening to the radio about City of Springfield's dilemma regarding health insurance for the newly approved civil unions.
