Another week in the books

This was a long one - even though I had Monday off of work.  After spending the week recovering from my 1/2 marathon jaunt, I took off for a 5K training run/walk last evening.  Well, I can officially say that I am still very sore and my muscles haven't forgiven me for the abuse I subjected them to last Sunday.  I am still a bit sore today from that short little foray however I feel good about having gone out.

Today I alternately worked on the client application and prepared for my in-laws to be in town.  I needed to finish up a certain part of the application prior to a Monday morning meeting, so I knocked that out in about 4 hours.  I also wanted to organize our kitchen before my mother-in-law saw what a mess it is.  My "breaks" from working were spent emptying out kitchen cabinets, wiping them all down and then applying a new, better looking liner before neatly replacing the contents.  It looks *so* much better although I am only about 1/2 done.


I also updated our downstairs bathroom - adding a couple of new pictures and an everlasting flower arrangement.  :)  We have lots of live greenery in the house however I wanted something in there that wasn't going to be high maintenance.  Let's face it - keeping bathrooms sparkling clean and neat is enough of a chore without adding the hassle of replacing cut flowers on a regular basis!


I am looking forward to the NFL Conference Championships tomorrow!  They should both be good games although I'm not really pulling for any of the teams at this point.  I was really hoping that Houston would make it - they seemed like the only one of my teams this year that had a real shot.  Oh well, it's still fun to watch.  Football season is drawing to a close but that only means that we are that much closer to March Madness!  Absolutely the *best* time of the year for sports...in my humble opinion, of course.


Mr. Dungy continues to provide great and inspirational guidance on a daily basis.  There was one day that I couldn't quite figure out how to apply it to my own daily life however it still made me reflect and think about it which is wonderful.  After a particularly crazy week of work, I am happy that I am making a habit of taking the time out of my day for some reflection.  Good stuff.


21 days and counting...;)
