Average Jane's Ups and Downs

On Saturday, I got up early to volunteer at a 5k fundraising race for Parkinson's Disease.  After my last 5k experience, there was no way I was going to consider running or even walking, so I figured that volunteering was just as good.  I worked the finish line, calling out the numbers of the runners as they came in.  A lot of my co-workers ran and some of them had very impressive times, which made me even more glad that I hadn't dragged my out-of-shape self through the course.

After that, I went to lunch with my sister at a lovely Swiss bakery, then met up with some friends for a beer and yet another meal, and returned home to take a much-needed nap.  I don't even remember what we did that evening, so I imagine it involved lots of web surfing and other couch potato behavior.

On Sunday, I had two of my company's tickets to see the Chiefs vs. the Bengals.  It was fun to go to the game, but not so much fun to watch Trent Green laid out on the turf for 15 minutes before they rolled him away.  My husband and I left before the end of the third quarter when there was a break in the rain, and listened to the predictable end of the game on the radio in the car.  When we got home, well, I took another nap.  Hey, it was grey and gloomy outside all weekend!

So, once again I didn't really accomplish very much over the weekend.  However, I got in a lot of quality time with family members, friends, co-workers and the cats, so that's something.

How was your weekend?

Hey Jane, I was wondering, where do you buy your converse? I've been aching for a pair of maroon chucks (my old school kicks) and I don't know where to pick them up except off the internet.

Monkey - I bought my last two pairs at a Converse store that recently opened in a local shopping center. The pair before that came from a Famous Footwear store.

Didn't get to see the game. We get Chicago!!! Oh boy. Needless to say, I don't watch as much football as I used too.
