Personal Update

I went for a lovely morning run yesterday, which has the ability to color my mood all day. Exercises is good for my attitude. It used to be that I could tackle a four mile jog without much work. These days, I am not so ambitious. Right about the time I was hitting my stride, I realized that my knees hit theirs about a decade ago. Now they protest just as the rest of me is getting into the thing.

It was a good day, yesterday. I went to the Mall on a little shopping excursion. J.C.Penny loves me, as does Mervyn's. They each sent me a little gift card for my birthday, on account of I am such a good customer. I spent a grand total of 3$ from my wallet, and I got cool sunglasses, and a pair of shorts. Size 4 shorts. Which are a four in their size. As in, less than 5, yet more than 3. Who's a skinny girl?
You and I both know they are likely mismarked, but my self-esteem doesn't know that.

Much of the nation seems to have embraced Summertime weather, but here in the backwoods of Idaho, we're a tad bit chilly. It's the second week of June, and we're not yet warm enough to swim. We had Summer for a week and a half in May, but now my tan is fading. My birthday is right around the corner, and I hear there's a pool party planned, with a rafting excursion. This will be decidedly unpleasant if we keep the frigid temperatures.

Have I told you about how my eldest son is going hunting? He has a remarkable opportunity to hunt bear. So,next week you should pray for him. He'll be in the back country with wild animals, and a large caliber loaded weapon, and men who don't shower. Maybe the following week, I'll take him skydiving.

My house wants cleaning, and my little size-four self needs a bit of exercise. Have a wonderful day, Internet friends.
