Saturday

I did it. 5 days of walking. No, not ambitious goal, but I always find a good deal of satisfaction in getting things done. I admit, I am one of those oddballs that will write something down on my to-do list that I’ve already done, just so that I can have the satisfaction of crossing it off. I didn’t really get on the program with daily stretching this week, so I guess that will be my focus for next week. Gotta touch those toes while I still can. I definitely feel better for having gotten my rear in gear. It’s so funny how the expending of energy actually gives me more.

Tonight, I get to meet a rather large group of bloggers for dinner. Some of these are bloggers that I’ve read the blogs of for a while and some of them are new to me. I am definitely looking forward to meeting everybody. I’ve only met one of my blog friends face to face before, J Bo, who has recently announced her very suprising pregnancy, and I was pleasantly suprised at how well we hit it off in person.

I’m also excited because I get to try a new restaurant in town. So far I have been quite impressed with quality of the dining out experience in Austin. Of course, getting a table on a Saturday night can be quite a feat. We have late reservations and, unfortunately, I may need to slip out early because I am working the overnight shift tonight.

It also seems that more people that I know are giving blogging a try. An old friend that I recently reconnected with has started a blog. He calls it Mike's Undeveloped Corner of Suburbia. Like many of the people I know he likes to bike, but he actually make money doing it. He’s a very fun person and, if I'm lucky he might even show an occasional picture from the town we both grew up in.
