weekend

i looked over my post, and realized that my post yesterday told you nothing of my saturday...and since i didn't do much today, i'll use that to make my post a lil longer tonight. ;)

i got up at 8ish and began frantically doing my chores. i wanted to get them done as quickly as possible because i was planning on going and swimming a couple of miles before i had to work at noon. i didn't get to the YMCA as soon as i would've liked...i wanted to be in the pool by 10, and i didn't get in until 10:40. but i still got 2100 yards in before 11:30, when i got out, showered, and ate lunch before i started work. then, after work, i closed the pool and came home, where friends were waiting. :D the mithrandirs came over to play games and eat pizza. they left around nine. we had a lot of fun.

today, we went over to my grandmother's again after church. my aunt b (from VA) and uncle j (from WY) are leaving tomorrow, so we went to go see them again before they left. and i'm not sure what it is with dogs, but they seem to like me an awful lot...isis (aunt b's dog) was following me around again. but i ate so much lasagna...homemade, with homemade noodles and sauce...yum!

we had to leave at 3, though, to go to the gatorthon. the gatorthon, for those who don't know, is a fundraiser for our swim team (the gators, hence gatorthon). i did 106 lengths of the pool, or 2,650 yards. (which was why i went and swam yesterday morning...i hadn't been in a pool at all since december 15, and hadn't been to a swim practice since the week before.) and i am so proud of myself...i swam 600 yds of butterfly. :D i haven't swum more than 100 yds at a time since october, so this was a big leap. not sure how it'll feel tomorrow, but it was so exhilarating to be swimming it. (well, for the first 50 yds of the first 200 i did.)

then i came home and FINALLY worked past my mental block and got most of the first verse of life is worth living on paper. :-D the guitar does wonders...i couldn't get it with the piano, but i could get it with the guitar. (it might be because i really can't play much other than chords, and our keyboard is tiny and not exactly helpful...)

anyway, that was my weekend!
