My day off...

Today is my "me" day... i stayed in bed until 10 and didn't feel guilty.
i did however go "running" with my roommate. Poor girl, i think she really wanted to run, however out of shape me, couldn't handle running for the half hour we ran through Laurlhurst. i did however, run the equivalent of once around the park, and i realized i really do hate running (i walked quickly twice). It makes me aware that i am out of shape, and i feel like i look ridiculous, but maybe that's how we all feel... But i do want to start running, because i want to take care of myself. i wouldn't mind loosing some of the extra fluff around my middle.
i'm excited because my c-group is going to the food bank tonight. i've enjoyed everything we've done there from scooping noodles, and dried cheese to make mac and cheese for folks to bagging onions. i love being with my group serving others. i like being behind the scenes, especially when i serve. i guess to make sure that my motives are pure. i'm doing this to serve others, and not for any recognition for my self.
In a little bit Angie and i are going to check out the new Jo-Ann's superstore. i am a little bitter, because they closed down the two Jo-Ann's by my house for the "Super" store. i'm not sure how i feel about it... i have felt like i should support local smaller businesses, and i may be doing that now, so maybe it's not all bad, and i will shop at the new Jo-Ann's, just not as often.
