Splendid Weekend

Yesterday's run was fabulous. The rain dried up before we started, so we didn't have to run in the rain after all. Along the way was a barn with a golden cow (eeek! I didn't realize it sounds like an idol until I wrote this!) atop a weather vane. I did take a photo of it - I did not worship it though.

On my way home from the run, I had a vague memory of a friend calling and asking me to come to a party at his house to celebrate his 20 year AA anniversary. I thought it was the right week, but I wasn't sure, so I called another friend who knows these things. Sure enough, she was there and was able to give me the address. So, I showed up there in my running gear, still dripping sweat, no make up, and I probably didn't smell too good either. I guess I need to revise my opinion that I am vain. No vain woman would have shown up anywhere looking the way I did! I got to see folks from different groups around town and that was great fun. I got to visit with some who are going to San Antonio next week too! And I got to eat yummy food and discuss the merits of a vegan diet with several who have gone that route. (I don't think I ever could - I gave up meat for lent last year and gained all kinds of weight and felt that I was doing severe penance every single day.)

This morning I went to a meeting and then out for a bagel with the ladies. That was nice.

I have a sponsee who wants one of my pies really really bad. I just might make her wish come true today. We'll see...

For a moment, I was wonderin' how they got that cow up there.

I have a friend who is vegan and she is quite heavy. I would think the opposite would occur. Glad that you made the party.
