Stuff happens and things to do

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to daylight ,as of late its usually 6am or earlier that I'm awake.
I had to take a sleeping pill last night its been over 2 weeks of constant interrupted sleep,I need more than 2 hours here and 4 hours there.

I stayed up late so I'd be very sleepy, and even managed to see Dancing with the Stars.
That french gentleman with the lean body and smooth moves just made my night.
As of recent I've not been watching all the time because I'm tired of the those people they bring in for comic relief, I liked the competitive edge of the shows from last season.

Today I'll ask you to run out the door and walk around the block and smile if you run into or by some, it will do your soul some good. I will be doing just that.

I'm going to phone m y friend Kathy's boyfriend to see how things went with her surgery yesterday, I pray it was all well and no complications.
She was diagnosed with having Cancer of the uterus,last week.

Take care, smile and have a laugh!

Happy Gloomy Monday! Yuk . Its overcast and damp and I've been running around trying to organize things for my daughters trip coming up in the next few weeks. She and my older son will be off to the Land of Crumpets and A Pub on every corner for a visit. My son loves England , what's not to love ...Girl Queens, Robin Hood a straight guy in tights, beautiful country side, Druids and Stonehenge.P lough mans lunch and tea and don't even mention, But I will Jamie Oliver. Yum.
I sorted out a carry on bag and a medium size suitcase with wheels and a handle, she does moan a lot if she has to pull her own weight or anything else, after all she 's only 19 years old.
Although as of late she has been a peach helping her mom as I am recuperating from surgery still and I am thankful for her help, minus the odd moan.
Today's agenda will consist of reading and laying a fire in the fireplace and drinking tea and eating Tabouli.
For now I must go and phone my mom or she'll think something has happened .. don't want to worry her.
Have a great Day and live it like its your last and tell those who matter that you love them!

I wasn't going to comment today but its so miserable out wet and gloomy,
read Charlies blog ... Fig's and Lemons and thought Oh she has sunshine how lucky.
My runner and I had dinner with my brother and his sons last night, it was relatively mild out for March and a nice sunny day to boot. So a Barbecue was in order, it was great veal cutlets and steak , I made the potato salad with thyme and olive oil and red wine vinegar , green bean salad , Caesar salad without the Ides of March scene and spinach salad along with fried cauliflower with lemon and black pepper. We were so stuffed we forgot to have desert!

I'll be running out to Costco today when the runner returns from his 18 km. run in the pissing rain.
As he has the car.He has to drive there to meet his friends at a designated location.
I hope he doesn't run out of energy for when he gets home cause I'm raring to go.
Well I'd better get dressed and ready , have a good Sunday and stay dry or sit in the sun if you've got it.

Good grief I'm bloggin !

Today is Good Friday and my first attempt a blogging, as you might think my title indicates some one running away from home. It doesn't , It's because my husband is a Marathon Runner! I 'm on the run trying to keep everything together as he is in constant training mode. Those of you who run know this and those of you who are spouses understand. We have a lot of time on our own .
I hope you find this blog to be fun, informative in some way and just a good read.
That's it for now have a great weekend and more to come Monday!
