Last night A and I went to see Moneyball. We are a HUGE baseball fan family. A started playing baseball when he was 3 and only gave up about 5 or 6 years ago. He has played baseball and softball just about all his life and played softball for South Africa in the World Series in Michigan, USA in 1996 - it was an amazing experience. I went over for the second week of the tournament and they made it through to the final 8 which was unbelievable given it was the first time they had played in the World Series. Anyway, I digress. It was a great movie which I think would be enjoyable even for people who didn't follow baseball.
After a lousy nights sleep the night before I had thought I would leave work at about 3pm so that I could either (a) have a nana nap or (b) go for a run or cycle. I did neither. My boss went out at about 2.15 and only got back at 3.15 so I was just packing up when he asked me to do a couple of things for him before I left so I landed up working until about 4.20 - so, no nana nap and no exercise. Got home in time to get changed and leave to go to the movies. We decided to have dinner at the movies - so I ordered the chicken wrap which came with some chips AND I ordered sticky date pudding with ice-cream as well. On top of that we got complimentary popcorn and cold drink. So, I had about 20 pieces of popcorn and left the rest. I had the chicken wrap and most of the chips. And then I waited. And waited. And waited. And my dessert never arrived. So after the movie we went to get a refund on the dessert that didn't arrive only to find out that they had delivered it to the wrong table !!!! How lucky was that because as much as I would have enjoyed it, I probably would have regretted it once I had eaten it. So now when I go for a run or cycle later this morning, I will be burning off calories that I have already eaten and not my dessert from last night !
Thank you to the Weight Loss Gods for delivering the dessert I ordered to the kids in front of us !!!!
Nothing too exciting planned for the weekend. I am hoping to make a final decision on the bathroom renovation (or not) and we have someone coming around to see K's car which she is trying to sell. As much as I love her, if there is anyone who would like to have a sassy 19yo living in their home, please mail me and I will arrange postage of said teenager post haste !!!!!!! At what age do teenagers actually realise that THEY DON'T KNOW IT ALL - no matter how much they think they do ?????
Looks like I will make my 5/7 days of exercise again this week - gotta love being this motivated.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone and take care !
Love, hugs and positive energy.

I think the answer to that question is never! J still knows everything and she is 8 years older than K but in the long run they have our interests and well being at heart. LOL.
