Average Jane’s Day Off

I sort of took the day off today.  It’s the first day of a 3-day conference for my community service organization, so I figured I’d take a volunteer day.  Unfortunately, I ended up having two meetings scheduled later this morning, so my "day off" really starts around 11:00 a.m.

Right now I’m in a car dealer’s waiting room while the oil is being changed in my car.  I love that they offer high-speed Internet access here, but I can’t do all the surfing I’d like because their filter excludes some of my favorite blogs.

Once I’ve made it through my meetings, I need to go buy some beer for the hospitality suite at the conference, choose some sort of acceptable outfit for tonight’s dinner, and head to the hotel to help with setup.  I’m tired already just thinking about it (although a lot of that may have to do with the fact that I haven’t had any caffeine yet).

Last night my husband and I went to our gym after dinner and worked out for about 45 minutes.  It’s too soon for the sore muscles to kick in, but I predict that I’ll be stiffening up in the late afternoon.  It felt good to work out, though.  I did a cumulative 20 minutes of aerobics and some upper body weight training.  If I could work in 45 minutes of exercise every day, maybe I wouldn’t have to fear short-sleeve season so much.

That’s pretty much all I have going on (I’d say it’s quite enough!).  Are your weekend plans more fun than mine?

    Painting, watching kids and watching paint dry, I’d say your weekend is going to be more interesting.

    Jane, congrats on getting to the gym! I’ve used the ‘tomorrow’ excuse many times, but you actually followed through 😉

    My weekend is pretty unscheduled Jane. Actually, that’s pretty much how most of my days are in general. I should be trying to work out like you do…I think it’s great! I will say, since I’ve been out of work…I surely don’t miss ALL the meetings. Have a beautiful weekend….whatever you do.

    Now that the weekend is over, I can say I had a rather enjoyable one. I saw Al Pacino in Salome, which was excellent and I spent all day Sunday reading the paper and napping. A perfect weekend.
