Words can make a day

I decided that the gym, instead of the library, was calling my name this morning.  I'm doing a 10k mud run in March and should probably start a training schedule instead of just random workouts...  I also figured that it would be a great place to compliment someone. Think about it...  you would never expect a compliment while in workout clothes, sneakers, and no make-up.  I dropped Scarlett and Emmett at the child-watch room and hit the treadmill for a quick 5k.  I started some strength exercises and had a good sweat going.  There was an older woman finishing her weights and heading toward the treadmill to walk.  I watched her while I finished up.  The treadmill next to her was open so I hopped on and walked for a minute before working up the nerve to pass on a compliment!  I told her that she had a great workout.  She was so excited to talk to someone while she walked! She told me that she was working out to "Stay young to keep up with the great-grand kids!"  We chatted for a bit and I told her that she had a beautiful spirit!

It's a gorgeous 74 degrees and sunny outside, so we decided to get the buckets out and wash the car! We scrubbed and sprayed, washed and rinsed... and Scarlett pee'd in a bucket - hey, why not?

John's suppose to fulfill the resolution while at work today, but he has to work late so I'm taking advantage of down time to update the blog!

On another note, I'm thinking of adding to the resolutions. I'm thinking about not purchasing ANYTHING un-needed for one month.  I mean, no unneeded junk/snack foods, extra clothes, extra food that won't be eaten that week, etc....  no fun smoothies or Starbuck's or lunches out. Nothing gets bought unless it is needed.  hmmmm....  I'm on the fence because I'm obsessed with popcorn and chocolate for a snack almost eery night... not to mention how much we love wine - and snacks ...  I don't know if we can do it! haha... and Valentine's Day is next month - I want dessert for Valentine's day!  I'm going to sleep on it. :)

Tomorrow's Resolution:  Wear Mix-Matched Socks and Try Not to Smile.
